We were thrilled to kick off the Spring season with Steve + Kristen’s wedding! April showers were persistent, but that never dampened their spirits.  Here’s a quick peek of their day.

We loved that they decided to do a first look before the ceremony. The moment they shared together was so beautiful and full of emotion.

They braved the elements with us so we could take advantage of the gorgeous grounds at Irondequoit Country Club.

Congratulations Kristen and Steve, we are so happy for you!  Thank you for having us be a part of your amazing wedding day!

Here are the Epic Engagement contest winners! We had a great time collaborating with the talented Sara Lovell on this project. For this stylized engagement session we got to work with Meg and Tom to create a fun, inspired shoot. What we learned about this awesome couple was that they are both wonderfully creative and unique and their love story is beautiful. They have been through some tough times, but what carried them through it was that they had each other to lean on. I love the way these two look at each other. Here are a few of our favorite frames.

We put together a behind the scenes video, you should check it out cuz we think it’s rad!

Steve and Kristen are tying the knot later this month and we couldn’t be happier to kick off the Spring season with their wedding. We originally were trying to plan for a winter wonderland engagement session, but the snow never came. But that didn’t mean that we didn’t have fun at the lake with these two and their cute pup, Myko.

It’s no secret that we are huge fans of Sara Lovell. We’ve worked with her before on weddings and her hair & makeup work is always flawless. We’ve also picked her brain before in this interview, check it out. So, when we got to work with her recently on this stylized session with Chris and Lauren, we knew it was going to be so much fun that we’d want to do it again!

What, you might ask, is a stylized shoot? It’s a collaboration of talent with a theme in mind to pull inspiration from. It can be an era, a movie, a poem, a book, basically it can be anything in your wildest of dreams.

Here’s where it gets good for all engaged couples…we are giving away one of these photoshoots complete with the hair & makeup talents of Sara Lovell along with a consultation that will make your dreams become a reality.

Check out the details of this epic contest on our Empire West Photo Facebook Fan Page. We can’t wait to hear what you come up with!

We have been going through all of our amazing weddings from this year and decided to put together a little montage of our favorite moments. Enjoy!

We can’t even begin to tell you how excited we are to share these beautiful images from Chris and Lauren’s Engagement session! They put together the most gorgeous details and were up for absolutely everything. I loved the fact that they were having so much fun together and that they have this amazing connection that just translates perfectly in these frames.  Put that passion and joy together with the awesome hair and makeup talents of Sara Lovell, and you have yourselves one STUNNING session!

Love this one!

After Mother Nature got tired of cooperating with us and the rain started to fall a little more steadily, we headed back to the studio for a change in wardrobe and hair & makeup.

We then made our way over to the Eastman Theatre for some nighttime shots under the lights.

Chris and Lauren, we love you guys and are so happy to call you our friends. We know that life has so many wonderful things in store for the both of you. Congratulations!!

A special thanks to Sara Lovell, who transformed Lauren from a beauty to a bombshell,  and provided us with excellent company and expertise.  Also, a shout out to our friend Mike, for letting us use his foxy ’57 Chevy.

Our goal with this stylized shoot was to kick engagement sessions up a notch and can’t wait to collaborate with more couples.

We had so much fun shooting Chris and Lauren’s 1950s style engagement session. We literally cannot wait to share more of these images. More to come very soon!

Many of our couples plan their weddings from out of town, so that means that we don’t always get to meet face-to-face. When we found out that Haley and Dave were living in the Denver area, we jumped at the chance to make another trip to Colorado. It is, after all, one of our favorite places in the world.

We met Haley and Dave at Washington Park and it seriously felt like we had been friends for years. We loved their easy-going nature and the way that they were around each other. You could just tell that they were so happy to be there, in that moment, together.

Congratulations Haley and Dave! We are so happy for you guys and we can’t wait for your wedding day!

We had a nice leisurely morning on Sunday complete with pumpkin waffles and bacon. Then, Dan and Brienne took us to Clear Creek Canyon to do some hiking and of course we took some photos.

Me & Zach and Dan & Brienne just hanging out enjoying the view.

The whole crew thanks to Zach’s arm reach!

After a quick bite to eat in Golden, we headed out to Washington Park for our session with Haley and Dave. We couldn’t wait to meet them! Here’s a teaser.
