Dana & Misty Get Married! (Part 2 of Upstate New York Trip)

Here are the wedding photos from Dana & Misty's wedding on June 21st, in Ellicottville, New York which is located just outside of Buffalo. I drove the 4 hour drive to go photograph it. Congratulations Dana and Misty! I am so happy for you both! May you have a lifetime of love and happiness and strength to endure the hardships of life also! With love, Lizzie

and groomsman.

 The venue was the Elkdale Country Club and it was a cool
and beautiful 65 degree day for the wedding. Pretty perfect
for a outdoor, June wedding.

have spent a lot of time with for family 
get-togethers over the years.

 The next few photos are my favorites of the bride and groom.

 Mine and the happy couple's favorite photo.
I had this enlarged and framed as my 
wedding gift to Dana and Misty. Everyone at the wedding 
reception signed the mat of the frame as a keepsake.
 Love the clouds in the sky!

 The couples' first dance.
 The smallest guest started blowing bubbles early
during the first dance. She just couldn't wait to play 
with the bubbles until the couple left the wedding later 
that night.
 The bride dancing her father-daughter dance with 
her brother after they lost their father a few years earlier.

 The cake turned out beautifully and tasted delicious as well!

Trip to Upstate New York (Part 1 of 2 of Dana & Misty's Wedding)

On June 20th, I drove to Upstate New York for the wedding of a friend where I was the wedding photographer. It was a nice three days and since I was near Buffalo and only 1 hour from Niagara Falls, I also went there on my way back home to Pennsylvania. These are our photos from the driving part of our trip.

Buffalo, as seen from my window 
 Niagara Falls main sign where we parked just feet from
the actual falls. It was a beautiful sight and many
years earlier (in the same month of June) my late parents 
went to Niagara Falls for their honeymoon.


 The United States falls in the forefront and the 
Canadian falls in the background.
The American falls in the forefront with one of the 
Maiden Mist boats in the background.

the falls.

I drove back on Route 15 through Pennsylvania.
Below are a few photos from the rest stop.

 I stopped at another rest stop north of Harrisburg
at Fort Hunter. Here is the rock bridge where trains
travel across it as a woman reads the paper on a park
bench in the forefront.
