Michele & Jeff, Ellicottville New York

My season started off quite busy with three destination weddings in a row after my first wedding of the season and Michele and Jeff's wedding was one of them... The wedding and reception took place at the ski Chateaus of Holiday Valley in the quaint and beautiful ski country of Ellicottville, NY. The location couldn't have been a more majestic backdrop for a beautiful couple who now reside in Colorado. Never mind that it rained all day; it didn't matter at all, least of all, to Michele and Jeff who were wrapped up in the excitement of their beautiful ceremony and their love for one another. I take great pride in being able to create beautiful imagery for my couples no matter what the challenges of weather or locations and I think you'll see in the slide show that the rain didn't stop me a bit. Some of my favorite images of the day were of Michele's red shoes...those shoes...WOW!! I am a shoe-maniac so was crazy for those beautiful red pumps! She wore them well! I had a WONDERFUL time with everyone and was so happy, as I always am, that I could create beautiful images and capture precious memories for you both. Without further adieu, enjoy the show!

All my best, as always: Joanne Bartone, Photographer
