Erika and Steve

For a town so readily identified by its winter storms, Buffalo has the best beach on Lake Erie in Woodlawn Beach State Park. A short trip down the 5 will have you thinking you've made a really long trip to the Pacific, except you can still see the "Steel Winds" project, turning with the same gusts that wash up massive amounts of sand onto the beach.

On the private end of the mile-long beach is where Erika and Steve got married this past weekend. It was a gorgeous ceremony and reception and nobody seemed to mind the sand or the sun - I know we didn't! After a short ceremony, this perfect couple danced the night away with their friends and family. I'm inclined to shut the heck up to let the photos do most of the talking for this blog post :).

When I first met with Erika and Steve they were already excited about their surfboard - it served as a killer photo prop as well as their guest book, which you'll see below!

Shooting with Alyssa is amazing - every time I get ready to grab some images from a shoot to blog or whatever, I see hers and she just kills it every time...it makes my job a lot harder trying to take ones that match her. In the next shot, she took a lens made for shooting large architecture and turned it into a portrait lens with a funky look - I love it.

And we had to take some silhouettes, seeing as we had the world's biggest back light, aka the setting sun.

And now some reception shots:

That's all for this post. A memorable day with a very memorable couple, and we were very glad to be there :). Thank you, again, guys for being so wonderful to work with - and thanks to everyone else who stops by our blog. Don't be shy - leave us some comments!
