Nina and Mike were married this summer at the Buffalo History Museum and I was honored to tell their story and capture their wedding day. Nina and Mike live in Atlanta and were planning from afar. Both having their roots in Buffalo meant a Buffalo celebration without a doubt. These two were just so sweet and easy to work with and you couldn’t help but notice the smiles and joy around the room. Nina pulled out all the stops with a gorgeous couture dress and those really awesome fancy heels (that I could NEVER Walk in!) with the red bottoms?! Clearly I know a lot about fashion! It was simply: perfect. Enjoy this little snapshot of their big day!

Jen + Patrick | Genesee Country Village Museum | Rochester NY Wedding Photographer

10.22.15

Rochester NY Wedding Photographer

Earlier this summer, I had the honor o capturing the wedding of Jen and Patrick. Jen is a friend from high school and when she contacted me last year to photograph her wedding, I was thrilled. Jen has always been one of the sweetest people I know and it was so wonderful to be there to witness all the love and laughter that she and Patrick share together. Their wedding day was truly a fairytale all the way down to the horse drawn carriage! They planned the whole event to take place at the historic Genesee Country Village Museum which, if you haven’t been, is a fun place to visit. The venue provided the most unique backdrop for their wedding and we had a choice of the coolest photo spots! I had an absolute blast capturing their wedding and it is my hope that you enjoy these favorite shots as much as I enjoyed capturing them!

Jen’s hairdresser has been cutting her hair since she was little.

Jen’s GORGEOUS dress!

One of my favorite shots wedding after wedding: The groom seeing his bride come down the aisle for the first time. Patrick was beaming!

It was a picture perfect day with blue, blue skies!

They read their vows together, filled with all things Jen and Patrick. Super cute!

Jen and Patrick exited to a Harry Potter song…love it!

Outside the brewery. So cool.

Party time! We headed back to the banquet center for the reception. Jen and Patrick planned all the little details. Both engineers, they included things like gears, lego candy and a little tool keychain for favors.

These two pulled out all the stops and had a choreographed first dance with some pretty difficult ballroom dancing moves!

Our last shot of the night outside the giant gazebo. Thank you again Jen and Patrick for inviting me to be a part of your day!

Christina + Jonathan | Hotel Lafayette Engagement Session | Buffalo NY Engagement Photographer

9.30.15

Buffalo NY Engagement Photographer

It was planned and set and we were so excited for Christina and Jonathan’s engagement session. It was going to be beautiful with some stops along the Buffalo waterfront and downtown. And then it rained. Poured to be exact. Christina was crushed. We had to either call it off, play in the rain or change our location to an indoor spot. I mentioned the Hotel Lafayette, an iconic and historical venue in Buffalo, as a fantastic spot to do their engagement session. Sure it wasn’t the picturesque outdoorsy photo location they had originally envisioned but I reassured them, this would be worth it. Possibly even better. They placed complete trust in me and I thank them for that. Because their session was AMAZING. Absolutely amazing. We set up so many creative and wonderful shots. A little lighting magic, one fantastic hotel full of nooks and crannies of gold in terms of photo spots, and Christina and Jonathan’s chemistry and devotion to one another took care of the rest. they had me laughing the whole time. I can’t remember the last time I laughed THAT MUCH during a session and it felt great! We had so much fun and in the end, they were in love with the photos. We all ran back to our cars in the rain at the end of their session all smiles. Christina and Jonathan’s engagement session is proof that a little (or a lot, 2.5 inched to be exact) of rain can’t get in the way of making good things happen! Enjoy this wonderful session! I can’t wait to capture their wedding next June!

Courtney + Steve | Olcott Beach Engagement Session | Buffalo Engagement Photographer

Buffalo Engagement Photographer

One of my amazing couples getting married in 2016, Courtney and Steve! We met at the site of their new house that they are building in Niagara County (cannot wait to see pics when it’s finished) to start our session. They had a glorious field with the most perfect light behind the house. We headed to Olcott Beach afterwards to finish out our session and were lucky enough to have a beautiful sunset. We were chasing the light this whole session and it chased us back, giving us gorgeous golden tones and lighting the way for some fantastic images. I cannot wait to work with Courtney and Steve next September to capture their wedding day! Enjoy!

Katie + Caleb | Becker Farms Wedding | Buffalo Wedding Photographer

Katie and Caleb’s wedding was simple and nothing short of sweet. These two were so unbelievably happy to marry each other and it was so joyful and fun to witness their excitement and pure joy. Let’s add that Katie, I am certain, NEVER stops smiling and is one of the happen people I have ever met. And Caleb as well! They compliment each other perfectly. The two celebrated their wedding at the wonderful and picturesque Becker Farms in Gasport, NY, complete with orange details everywhere, including custom orange Chuck Taylors for wedding shoes! Katie and Caleb are a super fun loving couple and they planned their wedding day to fit their personalities perfectly. Their love for one another is serious and it’s evident the moment you meet them. Thank you for sharing your love you two. We hope you enjoy their story as much as we enjoyed capturing it!

The day began with a first look and a little preparation at Becker Farms

Caleb was nervous and excited all at once…I love his face in this image!

A simple and small party, Katie and Caleb had their two best friends stand up with them for their special day. They were such a fun group!

Time for the ceremony! We headed back over to the Garden Pavilion.

Such a special and sweet moment between Katie and her dad.

They wrote their own vows to one another. TEARS!

The most perfect blue sky and best weather!

We took some family portraits and then jumped into a few more portraits of Katie and Caleb.

Time to party!

Several attempts and one tired Best Man later (thank you Stefan!) and we ended up with a pretty cool sparkler photo for these two!

While doing some photos as the sun was setting, I thought it would be fun to have the entire wedding party jump against the vivid sky. It completely matched the excitement of the day and made a great last shot!

And then Katie and Caleb did it on their own. Fitting and true to their personalities and who they are as a couple.

Thank you for inviting us to capture your special day and tell your story!!! We had a blast working with you!
