Sara & Jeremy’s slideshow from Belhurst Castle

Sarah & Jeremy had an emotional (men crying during the ceremony) silly (did you see those bridesmaids) and funny (um, ringbearer’s finger in the cake - people eating goldfish) wedding celebration. Entertainment for the night was masterfully hosted by Kevin Colangelo. And is Jamie trying to stalk all my NY weddings, or has she just become the best wedding hair babe in WNY? Liesl and I drove up with the family to see friends so Sarah got the bonus as Liesl as the assistant photographer. She seems to be sneaking pictures of herself into everyones proofs lately, so if you got one psychoanalyze it for me.

Syracuse University campus engagement photos by Liesl Cowley

[myflash=syracuse-university]

I photographed this engagement shoot back in June and Neil designed this awesome signature journal from the images!  Lindsay & Mike were married on 11/8/08, wedding images soon to follow!

Wendy & Billy finalized their album from their Adirondack mountains destination wedding. Liesl and I were both there to capture this amazing event, it’s so fun when clients hire us to work together. You may recognize their mountain sized photos populating the rotating headers here in the journal, or recognize them from their preview gallery from September 16th, 2006. Sometimes it takes a while to get to greatness……

…..over a year later I hope it shows in their album design.
