On the Rocks

Wendy and I took a ride down to Rock City near Olean, NY on Sunday and had a great time. The rocks are huge and strewn down a mountain. The shifting of the continents during the ice age created some really interesting rock formations. The trail is easy to follow and we got some really cool images. Here are a few images I liked from our trip.

"Going to the Chapel"

Our wedding this week took us to Tonawanda's St. Francis Chapel. Where our lovely bride Vicki Derby wedded Richard Carhart on the 4th of July. It was a beautiful day and a wonderful ceremony. We got many great images. The bridal party went to Glen Falls in Williamsville for their outdoor environmental pictures. The reception was held at Sean Patrick's on Millersport Highway. we couldn't ask for a sweeter couple to work for. Congratulations Vicki & Rick and thank you for the opportunity.
