The Details

Details are important. Check out the details from the day! They are just a small clip of the story, but dang are they beautiful images.

The First Look

As I tell all my brides… just do it. It’s an imitate moment where you can share together and not have to keep it together in front of all your guests. This groom was BLOWN away!

Wedding Party

Although they had a small wedding party, they knew how to have fun!

The Bride and Groom

Okay, I have a lot to say here. Hang on tight.
Roger and Rockie are the PERFECT match. They had their engagement session at the same location we went to the above images. It’s important to them. They are so passionate with a side of goofy. I love it. They were my ideal client. Rockie has a special surprise for Roger on the day of their wedding. She also booked a boudoir session and decided to get a black book to gift to her man! He LOVED it (maybe not the opening it in front of the camera part.. but we wanted to get the reaction)

The Ceremony

Short and Sweet! It was such a beautiful ceremony. But let’s talk about the location for a minute!
Niagara Crossing is the location, its balcony works so well for wedding ceremonies! The only complaint was a man mowing his lawn during the ceremony but i’m sure he does that for all the wedding they do just to be that guy. When I got there, my phone said “Welcome to Canada” as we were just across the river in Lewiston.

The Reception

Time to PARTY! They had some amazing moments. If you know me, you know I LOVE getting moments with the older folks. The reason I have such a passion for those images is because those people will more than likely not be in your life a whole lot longer. There was also a moment where they got grandma out of her wheel chair and held her up to dance and I thought that was so special.

On May 20th, 2022 Josh and Megan said “I do”
It was small, intimate, and beautiful.
Buffalo Botanical Gardens was the perfect choice!

Josh and Megan decided to have their first dance and parent dances follow right after the ceremony before family portraits. T
hey plan on having a small reception next year with more family and friends.

Vienne Wedding

My First Indian Wedding

It was just beautiful to say the least. I am not going to lie, I was a little nervous because I have never photographed an Indian wedding and I was not sure exactly how the day would go. It was split into two nights. The first night was more about the Indian culture. I was actually really amazed at how colorful and beautiful it was. That was at Taste of India.
Check out these images from that night….

Once in awhile, right in the middle of an ordinary life, love gives us a fairy tale

The admiral room was beautiful. As a photographer, I was in heaven! The natural light in this venue was just amazing. I spent the beginning playing with my settings, taking detail shots. The bride was still upstairs getting ready. I went up for a couple images of her getting ready and detail shots. I then came back down, waiting for guests arrive I just stood there in awe, like i’m here right now photographing a wedding. I sure hope I get to come back here again. Check out this venue:

The guests started to arrive and I was photographing and grouping. The mother of the bride wanted group shots during this time. I am still in awe about this. Im soaking up every once of beautiful I can. With covid, there was not as many guests as there would normally be so that didn’t take me long at all. Check out these images from the beginning of the event:

The bride was ready and the guest began to be seated…. It’s time for the ceremony! I was a little skeptical with the decision to allow guests to have their phones out, but I was not actually that bothered by it! Don’t get em started on that beautiful cake! I wanted to just wrap it up and take it home with me it was that beautiful! They had the happiest reactions to cutting the cake and I am so happy that I was able to capture it.

It’s Speech Time… They both made wonderful speeches toward each other and appreciating their family. It was clear that they were soulmates. They had so much chemistry and the way they looked at each other was like I was watching a romance film. Im so happy with the images and I really hope I get to photograph more cultural weddings.
