I met Dan back in 2003. We went to SUNY Oswego together and were part of the crew team; funny to think lil 'ol me on a crew team, but I did it! After graduation Dan moved back downstate and met his beloved, Anne. I can hardly remember Dan without Anne, they are just an awesome couple. One weekend in Vermont we met them up in Vermont for a winter engagement session early in the morning before a full day of skiing. We will be photographing their wedding in July in Washington D.C. We are very excited to have been chosen to be their wedding photographers and cannot wait to be down in DC with them this summer. Enjoy some of these favorites from their session and keep up to date with the rest of the photos on our Facebook page.
Back in 2007 we met Nick and Nicole at a wedding Nicole was a bridesmaid in. Then in 2008 they tied the not at Fallbrook Lodge in Oswego, NY and we were lucky enough to be their wedding photographers. Here is a photo from their wedding back in July 2008.
Now, almost 3 years later, they are expecting their first child. Nicole is due TODAY!!! She called me 2 weeks ago wanting to do a maternity shoot, and how could I resist shooting one of my awesome wedding couples. Now I wouldn't recommend waiting until 39 weeks to do your maternity shoot. 34-36 weeks is a little better, but this seemed to work for Nicole as she looks fabulous!!! We both decided it would be a great idea to revisit their wedding location for the photo shoot. I love being able to shoot at a meaningful place, this time we were able to go back to the place where their lives began as Mr. & Mrs. So when we planned to do the shoot we didn't know what the weather would be, but we sure did luck out. It was a brisk 35*f and with the sun, it was bearable to be outside for 45 minutes. I brought an old wooden sleigh and it was the perfect prop to keep their tushes off the cold snow. Nick and Nicole have decided to be surprised if they are having a girl or a boy and I cannot be anymore excited to hear myself!!! Enjoy these photos as we await the birth of their beautiful baby!
Well it is safe to say our 2011 wedding season has begun. He already have 2 weddings under our belt for the year and have a few coming up here pretty quickly.
Let me just say that Mary & Justin's wedding was highly anticipated over here. We have known Mary & Justin for 1 1/2 years already. I shot their engagement session back in 2009! Many plans have come and gone for their wedding, and I must say, the final outcome was perfect! Last minute changes had Mary & Justin rushing to plan their dream wedding in March instead of the intended July date. Mary did a FANTASTIC job pulling everything together. The love shown between everyone attending their wedding was incredible. Mary & Justin are two peas in a pod, they are just so darn adorable! Isaac and I had an incredible time being there with you two as you said "I DO". We were so happy and proud to be called your wedding photographers. Unfortunately the weather wasn't the greatest, but I'm still planning on doing an "after the wedding" photo shoot with you two once the weather clears up. Here are some of my favorites from their wedding day. Keep on the look out in the next coming weeks for the rest of the photos to be release onto their online photo gallery. ENJOY!
Here are just a few more of my favorites from their wedding day! Come over on facebook and LIKE Kain's Photography to keep up to date on Mary & Justin's wedding photos.
While organizing some files from 2010 I came across this photo I took of Isaac while we were setting up a shot at an August, 2010 wedding. We took the time to set the shot up perfectly so when we got the bride and groom we only had to pull them aside for a minute and we were able to get an amazing shot without them having to wait. That's why you hire professionals, we do the work for you, so you can party hardy. Enjoy

Here are some of my favorites from Anna & Fortu's wedding 2 weeks ago. What a stunning couple! It was great to be with Anna on her wedding day, as I met her back when we were in a bible study together a few years back. Enjoy!
Sam & Jason are getting married next labor day weekend in Saratoga Springs. I met up with them a few weekends ago to take their engagement portraits in Saratoga Spa State Park... where they got engaged. More to come!
Brittanie & Richard had one of the most unbelievable wedding nights I have ever experienced at Bayshore. The temperature was great, the wind was subdued, and the sunset was perfection. Brittanie, Richard, and their friends and family were so much fun to work with. What a beautiful couple! Enjoy a preview of what is to come.
I met up with Kristy and Nate a few weeks ago in Aurora, NY. Kristy went to Wells college for a few semesters, and met Nate, who was working on campus. It was great to be back in Nate's hometown and to go to the place they first fell in love. We had such a great morning shooting all around campus and around town. Their wedding is coming up real quick on October 8th, I cannot wait to shoot their Skaneateles wedding. Enjoy!
Hands down the windiest wedding we have photographed. I bet the winds coming off Lake Ontario were 40mph or more. It was a wonderful day with a stunning couple and a great bridal party. We had a blast shooting your wedding. I hope you are BLOWN away with joy when you see these photos.
Since it is now 6:30 on a holiday weekend, my husband is waiting for me to start dinner, and my baby is crying in his bedroom. I'll make this quick. ENJOY!
Liam at 5months with his cousin Linnea at 4months. These two precious babies are only 4 weeks apart. It has been such a blessing to go through this whole baby-birth-new mom adventure together.
I really have been taking photos of my baby. I take photos ALMOST everyday, but I end up using Facebook to post them since it is easily accessible. Here is a quick shot I took in the bath in June of Liam. I have a lot of great images to show. Once wedding season is over I will try to get you guys up to date on his photos! Until then come be my Facebook friend. I cannot believe he is 7 months old already. It goes by so quick.
ON August 14th Isaac and I had the joy of photographing Meg & Lester's wedding celebration. It was a beautiful day with a beautiful couple. I hope you enjoy these photo previews as much as we do.
