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!

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!

If I could name one couple that truly have sparks flying all around them when they are together, it would be these two.  Kristina and Evan have an infectious love for one another and it is the most beautiful thing to witness.  These two were sooooo unbelievably happy to marry each other!  They celebrated their wedding day in true Buffalo style with a visit to Knox Farms for pictures and an epic reception at Pearl Street with nothing but all night dancing!  I love this collection and had such an amazing time capturing all the magic and heartfelt moments of their wedding.  I am sure you will enjoy them too!  Kristina and Evan, you two are without a doubt the real deal made for each other and it was an honor capturing your perfect day.

Kristina’s grandmother gave her this special jewelry box to keep the rings in.  A special keepsake for the most special of days.

 

The makeup process fascinates me EVERY WEDDING!  Such an art!

 

 

Don’t forget about the guys!  We headed over to Evan’s grandparent’s home in East Aurora where the guys were getting ready.  This home holds a special place for Evan as he stayed here through college.  Quite the fun crew, these guys gave me plenty of laughs…and some heartfelt moments too 🙂

Evan’s grandfather’s cuff links

 

Cutest. Flowergirl. EVER.

 

A groom on the verge of tears at the sight of his bride….gets me every time.

 

 

These “bubble” shots are some of my favorite images ever captured.  So much energy and fun packed into this one moment.

The most STUNNING bride!

 

 

One of my all time favorite collections of formal shots…Kristina and Evan made the magic happen so naturally and flawlessly.

 

Party time! Off to Pearl Street for a floor-rockin’ reception!
