New Website, New Brand

I think we have been going through business names like water these days. First was Michael Alan Photography way back in 2005. Last year, I felt bad that Becky was playing such a big role in the business yet wasn’t getting the recognition she deserved so we switched things to Paramour Photography back in 2009.

Becky is about 14 weeks pregnant with our second child so we both agreed that it will be best for her to focus on being the best mom she can be to our children and I will fly solo with the photography… Shooting a wedding has become way too taxing on her so she will be sitting on the sidelines for now. I do have a couple amazing second shooters to take Becky’s place for the rest of the 2010 wedding season so no worries there.

So I present to you the final re-branding of our business — Michael Alan Bielat. Same great service. same great photos.

Thanks for everyone’s support and understanding.

Laura and Mark Engagement Session

Ok, so it is time to start blogging again like the good ol’ days ;) Sorry the site has been a bit barren for the past couple weeks. I had some web hosting problems and good stuff like that which had to get cleared up asap.

So…… Anywho.

Laura and Mark are getting married and came all the way down from PA to get their engagement session done. We went over to the Albright Knox Art Gallery and had a great time. I cannot wait for May so we can shoot their wedding. Thanks guys for an amazing time! I had a blast and keep in touch.

Leah and Dennis Engagement Session

Dennis and Leah’s eSession definitely had the Lake Effect in effect yesterday. It was a cold one! Ridiculously fun, but C-O-L-D! We shot their engagement session down by the Waterfront and were rocking some real amazing locations to serve as the backdrop for this wonderful couple. I cannot wait for their wedding because:
a.) It will be warmer and
b.) We will get to hang out with these two again.

Here are some of my favorite snaps from the day.

Susan and Chris Engagement Session

Susan and Chris rock!

Susan’s brother is a high up over at the Rochester Red Wings baseball stadium and they are huge fans of the team. We got an all-access pass (yes even up on the roof!) inside the stadium and even got free tickets to stick around and watch the game in between our shoot. We even managed to take a walk around the city of Rochester for some snaps as well.

Here are some pics:

And here is the notorious rooftop shot. We had to climb up these ridiculously steep stairs to the top of the stadium for this bad boy. Well worth it however if I do say so myself. Props to Susan’s brother, Parker, for hooking us up and for being my designated flash-holder for this picture ;)
