June 20th was a perfect day to drive to Fredonia for Ava and Liam’s backyard wedding. A stunning property, I found Liam helping get things set up outside, while Ava was upstairs getting ready. It was a family affair, everyone seemed so close and excited for this intimate moment. Everything felt perfect for the two of them, and felt authentic to their relationship. They both looked beautiful and I could see they were ready for this moment to happen. As Liam and I stood at the beautiful altar, Ava made her way out into his hands and this long awaited moment began. They seemed a bit shy to be in front of everyone, but focused on each other for their vows, taking in this wonderful moment. Soon enough, they were kissing as a married couple!
Congratulations Liam and Ava. I was so happy to share in this moment with you and I wish you a lifetime of happiness and love!

Congratulations Jessica & Justin!!!

June 5th was a lovely day at The Admiral Room for Jessica and Justin’s wedding. What an adorable couple! You feel happy just seeing them because they are so cute together. And they both looked amazing for their big day. The room was decorated perfectly to match them, and I knew it was going to be a special moment. Justin was instantly charming after I confirmed how to pronounce his last name and he went into how he said it, but thought maybe we should ask his family, so his mom and dad chimed in, and I learned a lot about the origins of their last name and the many ways I could say it 😂😂😂 Finally Justin realized what he had unleashed and told me not to worry about any of this. I loved the energy of this room.
Jessica looked so stunning and excited when I checked in with her. Both partners were ready to go, and it seemed to take forever for the moment to start just because of how excited everyone was. Soon enough though, it was time and I waited at the altar with Justin as Jessica made her debut. After 9 years together, they just looked at each other with such happiness, it was moving. They shared their personal vows and a candle lighting ceremony to further unify this relationship. It was all very special and I was glad to share in all of it, especially a front row seat for that first kiss as husband and wife!
Congratulations Justin and Jessica! I hope this was your perfect movement and you have a lifetime of more moments as well!

Congratulations Hannah & Tyler!!!

What a day May 30th was at the Hotel Lafayette! I was lucky enough to be there for Hannah and Tyler’s wedding, and it was such a lovely moment. When I found each of them, they both had that kind of starstruck look. Where you are taking things in, but are you really??? Some of it goes in and right out, because this huge moment, that you’ve been planning and waiting for, is finally here. Hannah looked so beautiful and when it was time to go, I could see they were both so nervous and excited and ready!
I stood at the altar with Tyler and he tried to suppress his feelings watching Hannah make her way to him. They smiled at each other and laughed at some of the things I said as they eased into this perfect moment. Somehow times flies AND stands still in this moment, but soon enough, I was announcing them as husband and wife as they grabbed each other for that first kiss! Congratulations Tyler and Hannah! You’re so lovely together and I see such happiness in your future. Much love!

Congratulations Laurel & Scott!!!

May 29th was a beautiful, albeit windy, day for a wedding! I found myself at the amazing Avanti Mansion, on the unbelievable island they have. I was eating a lot of my hair in the wind, but we all suffer for our art 😂😂😂
I found Scott and laughed to myself as he stressed over vows, unsure if their private vows meant no more vows, and asked me to please check with Laurel (even though I knew what was up), and Laurel seemed just as adorably nervous! She looked so beautiful on the outside, but I could tell it was a whole other windstorm inside her stomach with nerves whipping all around! I love nervous couples so much! They have such love for each other, they are willing to leave their comfort zone behind and stand in front of everyone and share this most intimate moment. It really is a big deal. And they stood on the island, looking at each other on their wedding day, and I could see them focus in on just each other. No one else around them mattered, they knew exactly why they were there.
Congratulations Scott and Laurel! You guys are truly so perfect for each other and I’m happy knowing you’ll spend the rest of your lives together!

Congratulations Brittany & John!!!

Ooooooh weeee do I love a weekday wedding! So I was thrilled to find myself at Wayland Brewing Company on Thursday, May 21st, for Brittany and John’s wedding. Firstly, I think I could go on and on and on about the flowers at this wedding. Unbelievably gorgeous. When I found John, looking happy and dapper, he said Brittany was going for a Taylor Swift vibe, and she definitely nailed it. The room looked perfect for the two of them! I found Brittany and she seemed very calm…almost too calm…and I found out later it was because she was sick. I think she was maybe a little out of it! It sucks to get sick on your wedding day, but somehow she still looked stunning, and I could tell, was going to make the most out of this moment, no matter what.
By the time they were at the altar together, they were making each other smile and laugh, Brittany dropping jokes and John looking like he expected nothing less. And there was no spring cold that was gonna hold back the giant kiss they shared for the first time as husband and wife!
Congratulations John and Brittany! You match each other so well and I know you’ll have a lifetime of love and adventure ahead of you!

Congratulations Madison & Marc!!!

On May 9th I found myself at one of my favorite spots, Resurgence Brewing Company for Madison and Marc’s wedding. I’m gonna put it out there, Madison had those wedding jitters 😂 You could just feel her nervousness flowing off of her. Marc seemed pretty chill, but he didn’t want Madison to be nervous. I think he knew it was all going to be great!
After some nervous pacing, it was time! Marc and I stood at the altar and watched Madison walk down. Nervous or not, she looked beautiful, and they looked so right when the were standing, facing one another. They both eased into the moment, and I could see it really hit them that this moment was happening! It’s a lot for couples when they’ve been planning their wedding for so long, and then in that moment they realize, they are getting married to the person they love! It’s really nice to have a front row seat to it. Soon enough, they were kissing so happily as husband and wife!
Congratulations Marc and Madison! You made it through because you were together and an take on anything the future throws at you!

Congratulations Lauren & Matt!!!

April 24th was a beautiful day in downtown Buffalo, and I was happy to find myself at The Admiral Room for Lauren and Matt’s wedding. It’s such a elegant, classy spot, and it really matched their personalities. Everything looked stunning, including Lauren when I found her hiding out with her bridesmaids. Matt was gathering with his groomsmen, and both seemed the perfect amount of nervous and excited. As Matt and I took our place at the top of the staircase in front of their friends and family, we watched Lauren make her entrance, turning heads the whole time. It was a lovely moment, where they held hands and smiled and took in everything that was happening in that huge moment. It’s full of emotion, but when you really take it in, you realized you’re finally marrying the love of your life, and I’m so lucky to be standing in the middle of it!
Congratulations Matt and Lauren! The stars aligned to bring the two of you together and I know you’ll have a lifetime of happiness.

Congratulations Orian & Pavel!!!

Adorable couple alert! On April 18th I had the pleasure of officiating the wedding of Orian and Pavel at The Old Orchard Inn. It was a rainy spring day, but it really added to the atmosphere or this quaint and cozy wedding. When I found Pavel, I was shocked to see his arm in a sling, nerve damage from giving blood a few days before! But he wasn’t letting it put a damper on this moment. Orian looked beautiful, floating around the room talking to guests, warning them that the bottles of clear liquid on the tables were not water, but Pavel’s father’s homemade moonshine! An apt warning 😂
Soon, the couple gathered each other up and went to the altar to exchange their vows and become husband and wife. It was adorable watching Orian help Pavel with his vow cards since his one arm wasn’t working well. Team work all the way with these two!
Congratulations Pavel and Orian! You’re such a perfect couple and I know you’ll have a beautiful life ahead of you!

Congratulations Tracy & Dave!!!

Ok, this may be the first wedding where the most emotional person there was not the bride or groom. But I’ll get to that! On April 17th, I was lucky to be at The Legacy on 18 Mile Creek, an always lovely venue that really shines on a spring day that feels like summer. I found Tracy and Dave there getting ready for their big moment, looking eager and happy. Tracy’s young daughter was also happily in the wedding because she loved the two of them so much, and obviously wanted to share in the day. Well as it was time to head down, I stood with Dave as we watched Tracy walk about with her daughter, who was SOBBING the entire time. It was so beautiful to see these emotions she probably hadn’t felt before, and she was overwhelmed by the moment. Tracy and Dave looked comfortably comfortable, having been loving each other a long time, and knew this was the absolute right moment for them. They said their vows and smiled so big right before they kissed, even if their maid of honor was still sobbing 😂😂😂
Congratulations Dave and Tracy! The two of you deserved such a beautiful day and I know you’ll continue to make more of them throughout your days.

Congratulations Kelsey & Neil!!!

Two weddings on April 11th?! What a lucky day for me! Later in the evening I headed to Holland Willows to share in Kelsey and Neil’s joy. This was a fun one because what a couple of nervous nellies 😂 I LOVE when couples are feeling all of their emotions and jitters and you can see it on them in how they are talking, pacing around, what they are asking and just how their eyes look! And these two were excited and nervous. After I answered all the questions and hoped they were feeling a bit more relaxed, it was time to start. At the alter Kelsey and Neil kept it authentic to themselves. They shared smiles and touches and seemed so thrilled when they were finally kissing as husband and wife!
Congratulations Neil and Kelsey! You two are obviously made for each other and I see a long, happy life together!
