Kate & Jeff | Becker Farms | Buffalo Wedding Photographer

One of the aspects I most love about what I do is the relationships I build with my clients. From the very first time we meet to after the wedding, we make a connection that often turns into a lasting friendship. I get to know the back story to their relationship, where it all began, how long ago they met, what brought them to here and now, beginning a new and exciting chapter in their lives as individuals and most importantly, together as a couple. It all plays an integral role in their chemistry and the emotional magnitude of their images created on their wedding day. Kate and Jeff are no exception and I simply ADORE this couple. Let’s start here: Kate is THE nicest and most genuine soul you will ever meet in your life. Jeff has the ability to make anyone smile and laugh (ESPECIALLY Kate!) with one spoken word. Together, they are a truly dynamic and made-for-eachother duo. They have been together for what feels like a lifetime and their wedding put the seal on what I am positive will be a lifetime of lasting, evolving love and adoration. Their wedding was held at the always gorgeous Becker Farms in Gasport, NY, offering a rustic and breathtaking backdrop for the perfect wedding day. If you are planning your wedding, definitely check them out! It was nothing but a joy to capture Kate and Jeff’s wedding with beaming smiles and love at every turn. Please enjoy some of our favorite shots from the day and their wedding story.

Ever the comedian, Jeff left an adorable and hilarious “love poem” for Kate when she returned from the salon. Not only did he say how much he loved her and as you see “Kate is the girl I’m going to marry,” he also let everyone know where a spare key was to let the dogs out!

Kate’s dress had the most simple and elegant silhouette and a low back to die for!

Jeff is an avid bike rider. I remember asking Kate how Jeff was doing when I arrived at the salon and she of course said “Great! He’s actually taking a bike ride this morning!” There was of course no surprise. So, appropriately bicycles were the theme for the wedding.

Kate and Jeff decided to do a first look, which I am a huge fan of! It was so sweet watching Kate quietly approach her groom, and Jeff was so calm and relaxed.

Every wedding brings with it personal elements that are truly unique and special. Kate’s father passed away a few years ago and they wanted a way to have him at the wedding. Kate’s mom brought out a framed picture and placed it on a seat in the front row. This was such a touching moment in the day I had to capture it.

Let the party begin!

Thank you Kate and Jeff for allowing me the great pleasure and honor of telling your wedding story. I had an awesome time photographing your wedding and working with your family and friends!

Buffalo NY Wedding Photographers | Justin & Barbara

Buffalo NY Wedding Photographers

This wedding season has been simply wonderful so far. I feel blessed on a constant basis to be able to work with such great couples in Western New York and Buffalo. On May 3, I had the honor of capturing and telling the story of Justin and Barbara. A met Barb and Justin a little over a year ago over a cup of coffee and we all hit it off immediately. Justin’s ability to make Barb laugh and smile was obvious and definitely contagious and it was easy to see right there why these two were simply meant for each other. It always amazes me how quickly time passes, from our initial meeting to the engagement session last July in Java Center, NY to the big day finally arriving. The time we spend together truly is a journey and I love it! Their wedding story is one of emotion, fun, and being sweet on each other. Watching them interact with one another made my job seem easy and how they feel emulates in their photos.

The beaming bride getting ready!

Simple, personal touches like hand-picked items such as Barb’s hairpiece she purchased on Etsy can truly stand out.

Hair and makeup may be one of my favorite parts of the day! For one I am fascinated by what these artists do (I know next to nothing about makeup and always learn something!)

I had to laugh along with the girls as they kept pulling out a video on how to lace up Barb’s dress!

Obviously, they did a perfect job!

Barb and Justin wrote their own vows which is always so sweet. I’ve teared up before but I held it together thanks to Barb adding some comedic comments to her speech. Thank you Barb!

Crossroads Lutheran Church in Amherst, NY. What a bright and beautiful space!

Another crazy day for weather in Buffalo NY (imagine that!) It was pouring when we left the ceremony but thankfully there are a number of spots in Buffalo to do wedding photos that are covered outdoors but still allow plenty of natural light. We headed to Delaware Park in downtown Buffalo NY and used the terrace of the Rose Garden. The red tile gives a subtle reflection for a pretty cool effect after it rains.

And then the sun came out! It was magical as the sun stayed out with blue skies for all the pictures and as soon as we hit the road to journey to the reception, it began raining again.

A fun crew of a bridal party full of jokes and laughs

Smartly, we avoided the chaos of the other 3 or 4 wedding parties at the back of the Albright Knox Art Gallery and utilized the gorgeous wedding photo real estate down by Hoyt Lake. This is one of my favorite spots to shoot.

From there we headed to the reception at Klocs Banquet Grove in West Seneca, NY. The staff always does such a beautiful job there with top notch service!

Justin and his grandmother. This day was special as it was also her wedding anniversary.

Yum! The coolest cupcake display I have ever seen!

As a photographer when I photograph a wedding, it’s not just about what’s happening in front of you. What is going on around you is just as important and helps tell the story. These two ADORABLE flower girls sat themselves down on the side of the dance floor while Justin and Barb shared their first dance and watched in wonder and awe. Such a special moment.

I love how Barb’s Maid of Honor is tearing up in the background of this image.

When the world gives you lemons make lemonade! When the skies give you rain, make really cool photographs! I pulled Justin and Barb aside before the end of the night for these last 2 shots and I think it was so worth it!

Thank you Justin and Barb for inviting me into your lives to share in your wedding journey. It was truly an honor to capture the special and beautiful moments of your wedding day for you!

It’s finally here! The slump of winter has HOPEFULLY officially left us and spring is springing which means….wedding season has arrived! Being a Professional Wedding Photographer in Buffalo NY leaves a chunk of the year where it can be somewhat quiet…as you can imagine we don’t have toooo many weddings happening in the dead of winter! So when it comes time to dust off the gear and get shooting, I am ready to rock and roll! I have been dying for the season to begin and am super excited to work with so many really fantastic couples in Buffalo and Western New York this season! My season in Buffalo opened with a super cute couple, Sharon and Adam. The running joke throughout their day: If love could be measured in precipitation, these two had it all! Rain, sleet, snow, dropping temps. But, it didn’t stop them from having their greatest day of their lives. Married at Immaculate Conception in East Aurora, NY with their reception at the American Legion, we also had some highlight stops, including a favorite spot of mine Knox Farms and Aurora Brew Works. This day was anything short of fun (and wet at times) but, always fun and filled with love. Here are some favorite shots.
