Heather + Nick – Winter Wedding Engagement Photography in Snowy Buffalo, NY – Tipico Coffee & Delaware Park

Heather, Nick and I met for coffee at one of my favorite spots, Tipico Coffee on Buffalo’s west side.  As we chatted and began taking a few photos, some gentle snow began to fall.  We thought, “hooray! how pretty.”  But then in typical Buffalo fashion, wild winds picked up and suddenly white out conditions commenced.  I always say, “I’m up for anything!” but the snow eventually fell so heavy we couldn’t see across the street.  How could I possibly even focus the camera?  But as luck would have it, the snow soon let up and in it’s wake was the most perfect Buffalo winter wonderland backdrop imaginable.  We ventured over to Delaware Park for the second portion of our shoot and, well, the whole thing was just so lovely (:  I can’t wait to celebrate Heather and Nick’s wedding with them at the Hotel Lafayette this summer!

All the gear was packed away and I found myself just kicking back with a couple of exhausted clients while their wedding fun murmured in the distance. Saw their adorable, tired feet kicked up on the coffee table and realized… Aw man, now there’s a shot. “The best camera is the one you have on you.” :) Great to be back at it this past weekend! Looking forward to another wedding season just a few months away! #weddingphotography #hotellafayette #sillysocks #wedding #weddingphotographer #sleepy #lindsaydedariophotography

Each year I wander off to #inspirephotoretreats for photo camp – a week of realigning with “the why” we photographers do what we do. We laugh until big salty tears stream down our cheeks, we talk, we write and in the end form a super special likeminded community. Another beautiful #inspire in the books. Looking forward to getting back to work more centered and focused. See you next year #newport! #inspire2016 #rhodeisland #bridge #sunset #cloudporn #lightchaser #ocean #island #goatisland #sunset #lindsaydedariophotography
