Current updates on Buffalo, NY photographer Lindsay DeDario's photography musings
Nora and Mark had a destination wedding in the Dominican Republic and came back home to Buffalo to celebrate with their friends and family at Pearl St. Brewery’s beautiful new facility at the Webb building. Before we headed to the reception we hit some of Buffalo’s most iconic locations for some portraits. All and all it was a relaxed and fun celebration of Nora and Mark’s wedding – I’m glad I could be a part of it! Special thanks to my assistant Chris Henneberger for helping out with this one!
You may remember this lovely couple from their engagement photos I posted in April (http://dedario.com/blog/?p=1899). Amanda and Brenden’s big day has since come and gone already and it was just the sweetest lil’ wedding. It was a cool April day and this warm sunny living room setting was a charming and elegant space for their wedding ceremony followed by an elegant family dinner at a local restaurant. The longer I do this wedding photography thing the more I’m really coming to appreciate days like this that are all about the good stuff, nothing more and nothing less (:
Special thanks to my spring intern, Holly Todd, for assisting me with this shoot!
It was discovered during this particular engagement session that the key to adorably cute and kiss-y engagement photos is an awesome dog and champagne. Lots of champagne. 😉 Andrea, Tom and I ventured all over Chestnut Ridge Park in Orchard Park for their wedding engagement session. It was the perfect time of year to capture the fall foliage. Between the gorgeous fall color and a whole lotta’ love, this session was one for the books. I can’t wait for Andrea and Tom’s wedding coming up this August, but in the meantime, here are a few of my favorites from their Chestnut Ridge engagement photography session!
Chestnut Ridge Park is an amazing location for engagement photography. There’s such a variety of locations here. We didn’t even make our way around to all the different parts of the park! Fall foliage aside, Chestnut Ridge has interesting sculptures, gorgeous tree lined roads, views from the top of the ridge of all the greater Buffalo area, and so much more! I wish we had time to make our way to the Eternal Flame, but that requires a bit of a hike and we had big plans for the old train station back in the village of Orchard Park.

Really beautiful photos. Love the fall scenery and lighting. Can’t wait for the wedding!
I love the new blog! Looking forward to working with you in a month!
What better way to close out the 2011 wedding season than with a gorgeous destination wedding on tropical Gasparilla Island (a.k.a. Boca Grande), Fl? Liz and Ryan’s wedding was beautiful, simple, sweet and just plain fun.
How did I end up at this wedding in Florida you may wonder? Well the story starts with the fact that Liz and I went to 5th grade together and we were buddies for that year. Yup, just 5th grade – she moved in and I moved out the next year. Fast forward a couple decades and Liz and I found each other again while I was photographing her friends wedding here in Buffalo. Liz and I recognized each other immediately! Fast forward a couple more years and there I was at her destination wedding on Gasparilla Island.
Liz’s family actually owns a home in the Boca Grande area, just over the bride from Gasparilla Island where the wedding was held. Liz has always loved visiting the area so when it came time to get married, she knew this was the place. We started the day at Liz’s parents beautiful condo overlooking the islands and gorgeous southwestern Florida blue waters.
The biggest thanks to Liz and Ryan for having me document this beautiful wedding day. It was such an honor to be part of! Can’t wait to see what the future holds for you two.
Extra thanks to these amazing venues and vendors who helped make the day what it was!
Reception: Gasparilla Inn and Club
Ceremony: Boca Grande Lighthouse Church
Flowers: Blue Pagoda and Evolution Orchids

Hello readers! It has been a while since my last post! 2011 was an unbelievably busy year which sadly didn’t yield me a second for blogging. Now, as I’m gearing up for the season ahead, I’ve decided to share some of my favorite shoots from the past year. And in the 2012 season I promise I’ll be posting my new material on a more regular basis. (:
So, in looking back, we’ll begin with the most recent shoot! A gorgeous couple in a gorgeous location – Devil’s Hole in the Niagara River gorge. This early spring day offered us some beautiful afternoon sunlight to work with and the subtle colors of the gorge and river were the perfect, tranquil background for this shoot.
I’m looking forward to photographing their wedding later this month! Congratulations to Amanda and Brenden!
I love love love that first black & white of the two of them in front of City Hall, and what a FUN dancefloor!! Great pictures of the reception!
Gorgeous shots! Where was the reception at?!
Thanks everyone! Angela – look at the title, silly. (: This is Pearl St.’s new facility in the Webb Building! All the character of Pearl St. without having to walk through a bar, restaurant and three other weddings to get to yours! (:
