Julie and Nick decided to cancel their 2020 wedding plans and reception but they made the best of it with a stunning spot for their ceremony and portraits. We met at Niagara Falls City Hall on a Friday and they had an intimate civil ceremony. Despite the fact that the day wasn’t what everyone had in mind there were smiles and laughs all around. With the historic building as a backdrop, we were able to capture many beautiful bride and groom portraits.
Denise and Chris got married in the middle of an intense year, for weddings and all around, but they were able to keep a lot of their original plans. With a limited guest count and outdoor space at their chosen venue The Creekside Banquet Facility in Cheektowaga, NY they made things work. Lots of classic and romantic details made the day special. The emotion throughout the day made it unforgettable. A more unique and truly beautiful moment was the father daughter first look. We captured some intimate bride and groom portraits on site at the venue and the ballroom made a perfect backdrop to the ceremonies of the day.
Angela and Jim’s pandemic wedding wasn’t what they originally had in mind but throughout their intimate church ceremony and backyard, garage, and driveway reception the focus was on what truly mattered. 2020 was a tough year for weddings without a doubt. Angela and Jim had to cancel their originally planned reception and give up their dream location. Despite everything and a ton of rain, Angela and Jim got married and made it special. I was honored to be a part of their day.
My work is on the cover of Auxiliary Magazine’s Spring 2020 Issue and the issue features a several page styled wedding editorial I planned, styled, and photographed! I had been daydreaming about a styled wedding editorial focusing on a bride and her bridesmaids for a long time. One that would highlight the excitement, friendship, and sisterhood. I knew I needed just the right subject to be my bride and when I finally found the perfect fit, she had two family members to be bridesmaids!
Meagan and Cameron’s Buffalo wedding brought classic elegance to a backyard setting. Fixtures such as the personalized wooden ceremony backdrop, DIYed by the bride, and the huge white reception tent made this backyard wedding feel grander. Yet DIY details let the couple’s carefree and fun personalities and their unique styles show through. All together it created the exact blend the bride desired of traditional elements, like her dream wedding dress, and rustic elements of being outdoors and laid back.
The day was filled with laughter and smiles and it was a wonderful capturing sincere moments all day long. It was clear everyone was having a good time, it really showed.
