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.
Alexandria had a beautiful bridal shower at The Columns Banquets this summer. Truly all details were considered and it all come together for a really perfect event. There were so many lovely details to photograph!
Halloween is my favorite holiday. No surprise there for people who know me. I felt inspired to put together a Halloween book list for toddlers. For each holiday, I take time to think about and plan how to make it special and fun for my 2-year-old daughter Odette. I aim to not do anything too time consuming as I don’t really have a lot of free time on my hands, but I aim to do strategic things that have the most impact. I put up decorations, I plan some activities leading up to the holiday and on the holiday, and for Halloween this year, I made a little spot on her bookshelf of all her Halloween books and got some new ones for it too. I plan to do this for every holiday from here on out! It was nice having the books right there to read each night and it got her excited for the holiday.
In an effort to blog more and share some personal content… here is my list of Halloween books for toddlers!
