Laundry Date Day Buffalo
What could possibly be more romantic then the soft hum of the metallic dryers along side the the swish swish swishing of the washers that lined the aisles of your average laundromat? Not much in my option! LOL
Taking average weekly chores or basic daily tasks and turning it into something more is what I strive to find in my couples sessions. Doing something together that isn’t normally documented and capturing it becomes more of an art story than just a pretty picture. Dont get me wrong though, I live for pretty pictures, but its something about creating more of a memory that is important to me. Must be all of the artsy fartsy classes I took in college. :D
I challenge you to think of something mundane to do with your partner and lets turn it into something heart racing. Hanging laundry out to dry, planting flowers, or going for a bike ride! Anything you can think of. Lets create some magic together <3

Niagara Falls Helicopter Wedding in the Sky!
Hey guys, Sarah here!
While traveling Italy last year with my mother, I had received an email that asked if I would be interested in shooting an intimate wedding high in the sky. I literally almost burst into tears I was so excited! Of course I couldn’t have been more thrilled, and it would also be the first time I had been in a helicopter.
Katelyn & Darius had such a perfect, unique idea that turned out to the best day ever! While I had been to Niagara Falls a bunch of times, I had never seen the view from the sky before — boy was it breathtaking.
As we stood outside waiting for our ride to land, the wind whipped up our hair and made her dress dance giving us chills of excitement! After it landed we were then escorted towards the chopper for a photo-op while our ears were trying to adjust to the loud roar of the engine. Buckled in, headphones on, and greeted by the pilot in less than a few fast minutes, we were OFF!
Up, up, and away we went. Just like that, we were over the falls! As the officiant started, I could tell how happy they were as the moment had begun. Their vows were simple and sweet, and within a few short minutes it was time to kiss as our copter soared above the misty falls. What a sweet moment it was as they exchanged rings to one another and for the rest of the ride we took in the beautiful scenery around us.
After we landed and made our way through the hustle and bustle of the Falls, we took a moment to realize the epicness of what we had just witnessed. The beauty in this world we take for granted everyday, but its times like this that gives us the wonderment that we live for.
For the rest of the day we explored the downtown Falls and Buffalo areas, finding some cool murals on the way and ended up enjoying some bubbly champagne to celebrate! Then it was GAME time!
You heard me right! ( or read me right?! lolll) Their reception was at Dave & Busters! We gamed, ate delicous snacks and of course got some pretty awesome photos too. I am beyond thankful I got to be apart of this magical day. If you get a chance to go on a helicopter, don’t even think twice! DO IT!
Catch ya on the next adventure!

Rain.
That one word that no-one wants to hear in the forecast for their wedding day. And in Buffalo, you never know if it is actually going to happen because every forecast is different and every area has a different one. Being a Buffalo wedding photography things I have in my car at all time - umbrellas, a clear umbrella for the bride and groom, smoke bombs or sparklers, a backup system, extra batteries and a light stand. Hey, you just never know, but you have to be prepared for everything!
Jen and Bryan had the most amazing day and didn't let a little rain stop them from having the best day every. The ceremony took place inside of Kotecki's foyer and boy, did everyone have a great view with the bridal party on the staircase. Kotecki's has so many options for photos for both raining and sunny situations so I knew I would get some amazing photos of this crew. And, man, did I. Check out the most amazing cinco de mayo rainy wedding ever. Thank you Jen and Bryan for being such good sports, be prepared and choosing Seventh Arrow as your wedding photographer.

When Jen and Keith contacted us and told us that they were expecting we could not have been more trilled for them. I, Amanda, have photographed every life milestone including their engagement, wedding, a styled shoot, baby announcement and now their maternity and soon their newborn. I'm beyond thrilled to have such amazing clients and cannot wait to meet this baby that I know will be so well loved by all.
xoxo, Amanda

Sarah and Andy are engaged
Sarah, Andy and I (Amanda) had so much fun on this engagement session. These two love games, so why not incorporate things that you love into your Buffalo engagement session. From mini golf, to the park to playing games and finally to eating cupcakes, I'd say these two know how to have a good time!

"A Letter to My Sweethearts"
"A Letter to My Sweethearts"
You have heard my voice for months, delicately singing you songs when no one else is around. I can’t wait for the moment I hear yours – your laughter, your babbles, even your cries.
Nine months has been my most anticipated countdown. Though the time has slowly passed, movement from inside has been my greatest experience yet. Your tiny feet have left the most beautiful imprint on my heart.
This was so much more then a maternity session. It was an experience that I will never forget. After doing some family photography for Kate's best friend, she contacted me for the bump to baby package (Seventh Arrow's Maternity and Newborn Sessions) and I'm so happy that she came into my life.
The session was perfect with the dress to the headpiece to the makeup to the outfit that her husband wore...utter perfection. Then, I asked her to write a letter. This letter was for her twins. Honestly, it made me come to the realization that motherhood, and parenthood for that matter, is the most precious thing ever hope that one day everyone gets to experience a love like this. The words that she has chosen will forever be documented and read for years to come. I only hope I did these lovely words justice visually. I cannot wait to share this amazing session with you and this incredible letter to her sweethearts.

““A Letter to My Sweethearts”
You have heard my voice for months, delicately singing you songs when no one else is around. I can’t wait for the moment I hear yours – your laughter, your babbles, even your cries.
Nine months has been my most anticipated countdown. Though the time has slowly passed, movement from inside has been my greatest experience yet. Your tiny feet have left the most beautiful imprint on my heart.
Despite all of the things motherhood brings that I am scared of, I am not scared to meet you. To finally hold you both in my arms, and to shower you with forever love. To touch the four feet that have been kicking me for months. To finally feel your fingers in my hands, and take in your heavenly smell. To see whose nose you will have, the color of your wispy hair or how big your eyes will be.
To my sweet baby girl: I promise to make you feel like the beauty you truly are. To build your confidence, and navigate you through the challenges of life with your head held high. I promise to never let you fall too hard, and to learn from your mistakes with compassion and grace. I am already so proud of you, my beauty girl. From the moment your dad told me you would be coming into this world, my heart exploded with joy and gratitude. I knew you were the Evelyn I had always hoped and dreamed for.
To my sweet baby boy: I promise to show you love in all of its best forms. To have you feel love so big it fills you up and makes you feel safe. I promise to feel the weight of your mistakes and push you to do the same, and above all else, help you learn from them with kindness and strength. I promise to be active, and to learn how to throw a football with you (scary thought, I know!) or show you the ins and outs of soccer, with your dad as coach. Overall, I promise to love you from morning to night… unconditionally and forever.
To my babies: Just wait until you meet your dad. He’s incredible, and I just know he will make the best daddy to you both. When I was choosing a husband, I decided to choose the man with the biggest, most selfless heart. I put all of my trust in him to care for us, and to take beautiful care of our hearts, which is really the most important task of all. And… I promise lots of laughter with your daddy in our lives, as he is silly and carefree.
I love you already my sweethearts”

Valerie and Mark
We have never met another couple that has had such a horrid year yet has such a powerful and loving family to help them through it. Both of their fathers had past last June, so instead of this due being a grave and sad reminder, they both decided that they would move their wedding to June to have something to celebrate and make June a month of memories and love. We were so happy that I was there to celebrate their love with them. They could not have been a more loving and great couple. Everyone that as in attendance had love pouring out of them and the Val and Mark had the most perfect day!

I first met Jamie and Alli at a fire at his uncles property in Barker. It was dark, but Alli and I talked the throughout the night and became friends as Jamie and Matt (my husband, boyfriend at the time) were already good friends. As time went on and life happened, I've been their to capture all of their important moments thus far, from their maternity session, to newborn session to their engagement. Now, I get to capture their wedding in July and I cannot wait!
Congrats Jamie and Alli!
