Cherry Blossom Portraits

Friday, May 15th, 2009

Last week I was driving into Erie when I saw some amazing trees that had blossomed. I knew I had to shoot with these trees as a backdrop and I also knew that the rain and wind that was on its way was going to shake all the petals to the ground so there wasn’t much time. I rallied up a couple of my close photographer friends [ Amanda Kifer of Expy and Rachel Lusky of Puremotif ] and models were soon found via facebook and twitter. We had a great time and I came away with some super pretty images :)

First up — a couple of portraits of Amanda:

 Here is one of my super cute niece that we tried really hard to surprise her mom for mother’s day with:

Here are some portraits of the different models that met up with us to play that day. Kat came and brought her children with her and Freeland and Brooke are newlyweds who should probably be professional models since they are so awesome in front of the camera! Thanks to you all for coming out and playing on such short notice!

Raquel & Brian’s Engagement Session | Erie PA

Monday, April 20th, 2009

A few weeks back Murl and I met with Raquel and Brian to photograph some downtown Erie engagement portraits. It was so much fun we decided we need to shoot in Erie more often! These two are so in love – I love the intense looks they share, so hot! Raquel and Brian are getting married next year and I’m honored to be photographing their special day. We got some really great images, I hope you enjoy them :) You can see more from Raquel and Brian’s Engagement Session on our Heather Neckers Photography Facebook page.

Winter Engagement Session at Peek’n Peak | Findley Lake, NY

Monday, January 5th, 2009

Over the Christmas weekend we got together with Ryan and Amanda for their e-session at the Peak. We will be photographing their wedding at Peek’n Peak this summer so we thought that would be a great location for their photo shoot. We were expecting a lot more snow but we worked with what God gave us and I think they turned out great regardless! You be the judge :)

Our “E-Session” in Vancouver

Tuesday, March 11th, 2008

So I’m finally getting around to posting our impromptu session with Danelle and Ral of RAD Studio in Vancouver. I’m kind of posting a bunch, I just think they are so fun – I hope you enjoy them as well!

We were just traipsing around Vancouver taking in the sights and they showed us a few locations where the Bebb’s make the magic happen and we ended up doing a mini-shoot before the sun went down. It was so much fun and ended up being a learning experience at the same time. I picked up a few directional ideas that I’m planning to put to use – oh and I’m definitely going to embrace shooting into the sun! Thanks guys, we love these images – you truly do rock ;) ! Thanks for being an open book!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

We look forward to meeting up with you two again! <3 Heather & Murl

Mark & Melissa’s E-Session

Monday, February 18th, 2008

Last Monday I got a pleasant surprise…one of my 2008 couple’s came in for the engagement session and they were so much fun! Nothing stiff, just playful. Mark’s eyes lit up when he saw the horse while Melissa mentioned that she didn’t like the normal ‘we’re getting maaaarried’ straight on poses so we came up with some interesting stuff! I love the storyboard of them on the fainting chair — it goes with their Old Hollywood themed wedding coming up.
Now for your viewing pleasure:

I can’t wait to photograph your wedding at the Warner Theatre, it is going to be so beautiful, and I’m sure you all will be looking fierce!! lol Thanks for a session full of laughs! <3 Heather

E-Session at the Peak

Tuesday, February 12th, 2008

Over the weekend I had the privilege of photographing a very newly engaged couple. Karl had proposed to Nicole Saturday night at the bottom of the hill at Peek’n Peak. I met up with them on Sunday afternoon to shoot their engagement portraits. They were such a cute and happy couple it was easy to get some good shots. It was such a gorgeous day even though it was so blustery. The trees were heavy with snow and it kept falling throughout the shoot, making for some really pretty portraits!

Here are some of my favorite images from their session:

 

Karl & Nicole — It was so nice meeting you both and again, Congratulations on your engagement! I hope you have a fabulous Florida wedding!
Wishing you a wonderfully happy life together | Heather

Allison & Danny E-Session

Thursday, August 30th, 2007

On Monday night we had one of the most fun engagement sessions! Our October wedding couple came out to North East to play a bit. We started out at Mercyhurst North East and then Allison and Danny donned some NFL jerseys and we were off to the football field. I love that they don’t cheer for the same team, so much more fun! I also love getting the opportunity to know the bride and groom better before their wedding. Its very beneficial to both us as photographers and the couple to get more comfortable with each other. Danny and Allison are such a great couple, I can’t wait for their wedding!

Paula and Gary’s Engagement Session

Wednesday, August 15th, 2007

Last Saturday night we headed over to Mercyhurst North East to meet up with Paula and Gary for their engagement session. It was so much fun, they were one of those couples where you can see how much they love each other and are just playful and happy to be around each other…i.e. easy to photograph! It didn’t hurt that they were such big Earnhardt fans, either! After shooting at MNE for a bit we headed over to their amazing place on the lake where we could really incorporate their true personalities. Here’s a set of images from their shoot. The last one is so close to being my favorite, I think it says a lot about who they are. Hope you enjoy!

Last night Murl and I went over to Patti and John’s beautiful home by the lake in Ripley, NY to photograph their engagement session. Here are a few of our favorites…

 

It certainly wasn’t hard finding a good backdrop! It was nice getting to know you both better and we can’t wait to photograph your wedding next month!
