Buffalo Wedding Photographers, Pearl Street Buffalo Weddings

It was written by a friend of mine in the best way:  Our country is a bit more free this year.  In Buffalo NY and New York State as a whole, we are so lucky that couples have had marriage choice for awhile.  And I’m so glad we have because it brought me the opportunity to work with a FANTASTIC couple!  Jeffrey and Tarik had me brimming from ear to ear with smiles and laughs all day.  Their wedding celebration was the icing on the cake for them, the obvious next step for a couple who cares so whole heartedly for one another, and they wanted it to be nothing more than a big celebration of love and family.  We celebrated with a wonderful ceremony and off the wall reception at one of Buffalo’s iconic venues, Pearl at the Webb.  Jeffrey and Tarik, your love for one another is an example to live by for all and I count my lucky stars I had the opportunity to capture your day for you!  Enjoy!

We walked right next-door to the Ellicott Parking Lot and took some great shots before the ceremony.

There are so many things that keep me going in my business as a Professional Photographer.  First and foremost: My clients.  The relationships we build together throughout the planning and beyond the wedding day are priceless.  Another aspect I enjoy is how every wedding is different.  It’s completely true!  Despite the number of times i have seen burlap in every color of the rainbow and mason jars this year, no wedding has been the same as the other.  Brittnay and Matt take the cake this season for the most unique and down to earth wedding I have had honestly in my entire career so far.  Let’s begin: These two have been together for nearly a DECADE to begin with and are should mates.  Matt and Brittnay are equally into each other and when they are together, they both melt.  Their wedding was full of all kinds of details.  The entire event was held at Matt’s family cabin in East Otto, NY which has to be the most grand and beautiful place I have ever visited.  I seriously was convinced that cabins like that only existed in magazines.  What a blessing that these two had that property to hold their celebration.  It was truly a hometown wedding.  From the hay bales for seating at the ceremony, to the girls (Brittnay included!) all glammed up in their dresses and cowboy boots and all the way down to the FULL fireworks display at the end of the night.  This was a wedding to remember!  I know I certainly will not forget it!  I trekked it up some seasonal use only roads to the family cabin and had the time of my life with some of the most genuine, down to earth and kind individuals I have ever met.  Brittnay and Matt, I know you love your photos already and I am so thrilled to share your story with any visitors here to the blog.  This wedding deserves to be shared!

Into the details and sentiment as much as me.  Love this girl!  Brittnay made this shabby chic wedding keepsake bouquet.  This would have been a lot easier than my failed attempts at pressing flowers between book pages after my wedding 🙂

I believe the ring was placed on the wrong finger?!  Brittnay laughed it off charismatically along with the guests.  It was a cute moment and I’m so glad we caught it!

The only real way to walk down the aisle if you’re having a country wedding…authentic cowgirl boots!  Fashionable and functional.

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!

Buffalo wedding photographers-1-3Kate’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.
