Let me start by saying that Vicky’s dress was possibly the most perfect dress I could ever imagine for her. She wore it in a way that if the designer does not demand rights to these photos for advertisement, he or she is insane.

Anyway, so for the first time ever I shot at the same church two days in a row! That has never happened before. I’ve shot at the same reception site two weekends in a row, but never the same place on a Friday then again on a Saturday. I wanted to make sure I didn’t just get all the same photos I had gotten the day before, so it really made me think creatively!

Vicky and the girls pulled up in the limo and she looked stunning. The ceremony was different than the day before because although it was the same church, there was a different priest officiating. He was very friendly and I enjoyed the service.

From there, we went over to the Buffalo & Erie County Botanical Gardens for formal photos before guests arrived for the reception. It was a gorgeous day so we did some pictures inside and some out!

Chris & Vicky have a beautiful little boy:

And what would a wedding be without some detail shots?

I’ll leave you with something almost everyone enjoys: pictures of food!

Congratulations on your GORGEOUS wedding and your beautiful son. I hope your reception was a blast and let me know if there’s ever anything I can do for you in the future!

When I met with Kristen & Kenny, the first thing that struck me about them was that they loved to laugh and I loved the fact that although we were having a business meeting, I had a really good time just showing them my portfolio and talking about their wedding plans. I excitedly told Kristen about the Buffalo Indie Market and we chatted a little about eco-friendly wedding invitations. I was so excited when they hired me just a few days later and I knew the wedding would be a lot of fun.

I met up with Kristen and her family at her parents’ house on Grand Island. Their back porch looks out over one of the fairways at River Oaks, and I had to laugh when Kristen asked me, “Can you get a picture of me pinning on my dad’s boutonniere? And can you get that sand trap in the background? It’s special to him. He spends a lot of time there.” Love it.

I drove over to St. Joseph’s on Main Street for the ceremony. What a pretty church!

We headed down to the waterfront and then to Niagara Square for a few photos before arriving at Asbury Hall for the reception. It was actually hard to get pictures of them NOT laughing! Of course they kindly waved at all the passersby honking and shouting their congratulations.

The cake was gorgeous, the dancing was crazy and fun, and I had a great time.

Of course there are many photos that just didn’t make the cut for the blog (I am trying really hard to limit each post to ~20) but I can’t wait for you to see them all! Congrats you two, and may you have many years of feigned interest in each other’s daily activities! *wink*
