September 12th was a beautiful day for the beautiful Katie & Matthew at The Falconwood at Beaver Island State Park. I found Matthew walking around, definitely nervous that he was going to miss the start time I think, which was hilarious. I was thinking, if you and I are standing here, it sure can’t be starting! Katie was with her wedding party waiting for this show to begin, and she looked radiant and eager. Soon enough we were out there watching Katie make her walk towards us, as Matthew fought the tears in his eyes. During the ceremony, Matt’s Grandma shared a prayer that was so meaningful, and you could really see the love shared with these families. They shared their heartfelt, personal vows, and I watched them thinking about all the times they could have met in life, but how it waited until the right moment. Then soon enough, they were sharing that first, big kiss!
Congratulations Matthew and Katie! You’re so wonderful together and I wish you a happy and wonderful life!

Congratulations Emily & Kevin!!!

August 30th was exciting not only because I got to see the ever joyful Emily and Kevin, but I got to do it at a new place! I’ve performed just shy of 600 ceremonies, so it was exciting to get to visit Brooksholm Wedding Barn, which I hadn’t seen before. What a beautiful space and perfect for Emily and Kevin.
When I arrived I saw Emily, so happy and beautiful and she was sitting around with her bridesmaids, all laughing and enjoying every moment. Kevin looked dapper as he tried to play it cool, but I knew it was all going to come out during the actually ceremony (and it did he got cute and emotional and smiley and perfect)!
The altar was in the woods, surrounded by gorgeous trees, and Kevin and I stood there watching Emily make her way up to him. It was so perfect out and was truly a magical moment for them. They said their vows while staring into each others eyes and soon enough I was yelling out that they were husband and wife!
Congratulations Kevin and Emily! Your love deserved this perfect moment and I was so lucky to share it with you!

Congratulations Jessica & Alex!!!

Oh what a day August 29th was! It was perfect out, and especially beautiful at Binksberry Hollow. When I arrived I found Alex, pumped up as heck and ready to have this moment with his love. He was carrying around his vows book, which I asked if I could hold for him, and he was like, oh no, I lost this once and I’m not losing it again! 😂
Jessica was getting some photos taken by the wonderful Mike Argento Photography (I married him and his wife too!!!) and everyone just looked like they were bursting with happiness.
Soon enough Alex and I were standing on that big hill, waiting for Jessica to make her way up to him. I’m sure it felt like forever for him, because he was so excited to have her next to him. The moment was beautiful. Their vows were so heartfelt and moving and you could tell everyone there was affected by them. It was such a happy moment when they finally grabbed each other and kissed for the first time as husband and wife!
Congratulations Alex and Jessica! I’m so glad you had such a beautiful moment since you’re such beautiful people. Much love!

Congratulations Madalyn & Dylan!!!

How to start off a beautiful August 23rd day? How about a 10am wedding at the Botanical Gardens??? Sounds perfect to me! And especially if you get to spend time with the wonderful Madalyn and Dylan, one of the cutest couples ever. They wanted something sweet and low key, and having just a ceremony at the Gardens was a perfect choice. It was a very intimate event, just a few guests there to witness the beautiful moment, and especially the beautiful Madalyn, who looked stunning as she made her way to Dylan. They just looked so happy and moved by everything, and after they kissed as husband and wife, they immediately went into their first dance, and I felt so lucky to be able to witness it. I miss so much at weddings leaving after the ceremony, and it was nice to see their love on display for us all to enjoy.
Congratulations Dylan and Madalyn! You’re perfect together and I know your life will be full of beauty and happiness.

Congratulations Aly & Mike!!!

August 15th was perfect and Bear Ridge Destination was amazing! It was such a beautiful spot for Aly and Mike. When I arrived, I spied them taking some photos. I love watching couples for a minute as they laugh and smile and hug each other for their amazing pics. Then I checked out the gorgeous spot they would be getting married. It was like being in the woods, but without any hassle. I couldn’t wait for this to get started!
As I stood at the altar with Mike, I could see he was feeling a bit nervous. I know couples think that if they see each other before the ceremony they will be less nervous, but once Aly made her beautiful debut, it was like they were seeing each other for the first time. They took hands and smiled and repeated their vows to one other that I know they will always keep. And soon enough, that magic kiss was happening and it was time to party!
Congratulations Mike and Aly! I’m so honored to have been a part of this moment and to have shared in the beauty. Much love!

Congratulations Amanda & John!!!

August 2nd was a beautiful day where I happily found myself in a new venue, Grandview of Ellington. It was a perfect spot for Amanda and John’s wedding. Amanda had been a bit stressed beforehand, so I knew seeing the beautiful space would help her feel at ease. John was greeting guests, his only real goal to keep Amanda calm and happy, and he reached that goal! By the time we were standing outside under the gazebo, everything was as it should be, and Amanda made her beautiful enterance into John’s open arms. There were smiles and laughs, and a first kiss to rival any before it!
Congratulations John and Amanda! It was a lovely moment and I wish so many more of those moments in your future together!

Congratulations Becky & Dallas!!!

I was stoked for July 19th and Dallas and Becky’s wedding, because it was at Hidden Valley Animal Adventure, where I get to see the most beautiful black swans around! It’s a small drive-thru safari, and a perfect spot for the happy couple. When I arrived and found the bride and groom, Becky seemed nervous while Dallas was cool as a cucumber. That was about to change pretty quickly 😂 The music began and Becky made her beautiful entrance, crossing a bridge over a large pond, with honking geese and swans to Dallas, who now seemed to be feeling the moment. They got to their vows, and the struggle began. Overcome with emotion, it was hard for them to get through their meaningful words, having to stop and look at each other and smile and laugh and apologize to guests because this was such an overwhelming moment. I think I heard Dalas say, “my bad,” about 20 times! It was really adorable and I was so happy to have a front row seat to the action! They eventually made it through and soon enough, I was pronouncing them husband and wife!
Congratulations Dallas and Becky! I hope it was everything you dreamed of and that your safari was the perfect start to your new, happy life together!

Congratulations Kathryn & Matthew!!!

On July 12th I felt whisked away to a magical place that was Lakeshore Vineyards. It was a lovely place on such a lovely day. The ceremony spot required a golf cart to get to, and when you walked through the doors, what a view! On the water and just gorgeous. Perfect for Kathryn and Matthew. They were looking and feeling amazing when I saw them. Probably getting excited to ride on their horse and carriage to the ceremony spot!
When they were together at the altar, it was a lovely moment (minus the biting flies and kept nipping at my feet). They looked so happy to be there, and their personalized vows were so meaningful and beautiful. The best part of the ceremony was when Kathryn’s dad got up to assist in the handfasting and read an Irish blessing to go with it. It was a perfect moment and you could tell they felt that as they grabbed each other for that first kiss as husband and wife. Even their pup Sanibel looked so happy!
Congratulations Matt and Kat! It was a day worthy of the two of you and I wish you a lifetime of happiness!

Congratulations Stephanie & Alec!!!

What a day June 21st was! It was perfect outside, and you couldn’t have picked a more beautiful spot to be married that day than The Hayloft. It fit the beautiful people that Stephanie and Alec are! When I arrived, Stephanie was getting the finishing touches, and Alec was having such a good time with his groomsmen. Everyone was just so happy, I knew this was going to be a perfect moment. Inside the horse barn, guests were gathering, excitedly talking and waiting for the big moment to begin. Soon enough, I was at the altar with Alec, watching Stephanie make her dazzling entrance. They seemed so happy to see each other, even though they had only some minutes earlier. It felt like everything went by so quickly, because it all just felt like the best time. Soon enough, they were in each others arms kissing as husband and wife! I only wish I had been able to capture the thousands of bubbles that floated over them outside!
Congratulations Alec and Stephanie! I hope this was the moment you had been waiting for, and that you have so many more wonderful moments ahead of you!

Congratulations Sarah & Douglas!!!

Simple and stunning. I think that must have been the motto for Sarah and Douglas’s wedding. On June 20th, they wanted to be married standing near the magnificent Niagara Falls, in an intimate and lovely moment. I found them down by the falls, beaming at the moment and each other, and of course, the falls. Their reception was inside at Hyatt Place Niagara Falls, but it was such a perfect day to be outside. As they made their way to where I was standing, the smiles from the crowd began as well as the couple. You could feel how much this moment meant to them. You could hear the water rushing behind us and it was truly a very special moment. They kissed with such love, knowing now they were husband and wife!
Congratulations Douglas and Sarah! It was a perfect moment for the two of you and I wish you a lifetime of those moments!
