Renee first contacted me about her wedding in November 2008. In the months that followed, we shored up details and signed a contract, and I also signed a contract with Renee’s best friend Michelle, whose wedding I photographed back on June 26, 2010. It was great to be able to meet & spend a day with Renee & Pat ahead of their wedding, and with the reception being in the same place, I went into the wedding feeling really comfortable that I was going to be able to give Renee just the kind of pictures she wanted!
I met up with everybody at the hotel in Batavia where they were getting ready to get some shots before the church, then we headed over to the beautiful Our Lady of Mercy in LeRoy – gorgeous church!
After the church, we went over to a property owned by the parish for some wedding party photos. Any girl that is willing to get on a swing in a cathedral length veil is a-okay in my book!! Plus, seriously… underduck? I didn’t think he’d really do it so I wasn’t ready! I am glad I caught what I caught!
We checked out the pond for some more formal photos:
Then drove back to Batavia for the reception at Sacred Heart (same place as Michelle & Dave’s) – love that they borrowed the dancefloor-framing lights built by Michelle’s dad for her wedding. It gives the place so much warmth!
Their signature mat used a picture I took of them dancing back in June!
Pat, I realize these pictures emphasize Renee a little more than they do you, but I mean… she’s prettier than you, plus that smile lights up the room!
I took this photo after being inspired by a photo I saw that Mike & Jill Argento did at least a year ago. I thought this wall was the perfect place/color for a silhouette.
Aaaaaand just a few more dancing shots:
Some twirling, some bumping, and … uh, I have no idea what that third dance move was, but it made me laugh!
Many congratulations, Pat & Renee, and I’m so happy I got to be there for two such great couples in one summer. Michelle & Renee – may your friendship be as strong in 20 years as it is today, and Dave & Pat – it was my pleasure to meet two such fine gentlemen! Best wishes to all of you.
