Super Snowy Rochester Engagement Photos :: December 6th, 2010
I can’t believe that we were able to get super snowy portraits already this year! Seriously, last year I had several portrait sessions lined up for a super snowy day and none of them happened.
As most of you know, I love the snow. I love to go sledding, snowboard, snowshoe, photograph the snow… you name it! The winters just FLY by when you get into a winter activity. Besides, the reward is hot chocolate.
So, I was stoked that Ellen and Pete were not only OK with doing their Engagement Portraits in the snow, but also that we had a super snowy day on the first date we had set aside for it. What luck? Or was it just excellent planning??
It was a little treacherous driving over to their house, and I had a ton of last minute holiday orders come through email right before I left, but we were able to get a lot of fun photos anyway and it was so great to get away from the computer and do what my real job is… taking pictures of fun people.
OK, here are some reasons I’m stoked to be Ellen & Pete’s wedding photographer:
* They are just the most adorable people ever
* They are getting married at my uber favorite… Hurd Orchards
* They aren’t big fans of getting their picture taken (yes, I love working with people like this because it is more rewarding when they are happy with their pictures!)
* Their cats are super friendly and soft
* Ellen’s eyes are probably the prettiest and most interesting eyes I’ve seen in years
* Their style is what I wish I could do… a clean, elegant, vintage chic
* When I said walk around in the snow, Pete said “and I know a playground we can go to”…
Anyway, these two are big fans of playing Scrabble together, so using that game was a no brainer. After taking a some shots in their house, with their lovely kitties (who were all great models for the camera), we bundled up and went out into the snow. Pretty and fluffy snow!
Without further ado, here are a couple of images:
Ellen and Pete are awesome, and so are these pictures!! Wonderful job, Heather! Very sweet, very Ellen and Pete! Can’t wait for the wedding!
OMG! I never knew photographers did this sort of thing. Everything about it is amazing…including how natural it all feels! Love the pictures and the couple too!
Thank you so much, Ladies! I am honored to be Ellen & Pete’s Wedding Photographer and really can’t express how blessed I feel that my hair brained ideas come to life.
