There are many ways that you can start off a month, but NONE are as fun as a wedding! Karen and Andi aren’t wimps when it comes to cold weather. They wanted to be married and no snow or wind was going to stop them. Now that’s true love! At the always stunning Karpeles Manuscript Museum, guests chatted with Andi, looked at original manuscripts (like the original sheet music for “Here Comes the Bride!), and waited for the lovely Karen to arrive. Once the ladies got there, they hurried downstairs with their sweaters wrapped tightly around their shoulders and waited for the big moment to take place. Andi walked his mother down and guest’s giggled as he also walked Karen’s favorite stuffed animal Piggers, who has traveled the world with her. And he looked quite dapper in his mini tux 😉
Karen nervously approached and they smiled as they said their vows to each other. And of course the biggest smile of all came right before the kiss! Congratulations Andi & Karen! I’m so happy I was able to start my month off right with a beautiful couple! And Piggers!

Heck yeah!

January 18th was a chilly day, but not for Sarah and Beth. For them, it was the second time they got to confess their love to each other and swear to share a lifetime together. Six years earlier on January 18th, they had their first wedding. This time around, it was legal! At a cozy bed & breakfast at the Elmwood Village Inn, they gathered with their close friends and family, and their beautiful daughter to share a magical moment in time. They all stood together as a family and repeated the vows they had shared years earlier. And from the tears in their eyes you could tell they meant them just as much. For their sand ceremony, not only did the three of them combine their sand together, but they had family and friends add a stone with their name and some of their own sand. Obviously they know how important everyone around them is! It was a lovely moment and I was so happy to be able to share in it. Congratulations Beth & Sarah & Alaina! I wish your family a lifetime of happiness!

The chance of a lifetime…

…to you and yours, and those that are about to be yours!

Here are some beautiful photos of an adorable couple, married for an incredible 61 years! As a special holiday present, event designer and granddaughter Lauren Wells decided to create some truly memorable anniversary photos for her “Nina and Gramps.” According to Lauren, the two “have never taken their rings off and remain the best of friends.”

Congratulations Nicole & Jamie!!!

Oh December 14th. You loved being a super cold day. And I’m pretty sure you loved that you had some victims outside in front of Niagara Falls to pummel with snow and wind. But jokes on you because we didn’t care! Nicole and Jamie knew that they wanted to be married in front of the Falls and they weren’t going to let a little thing like winter stop them. So they trudged out into the snow with their adorable daughter and their closest friends and family, and said their vows in front of one of the most beautiful wonders of the world. And although it was dark and windy, they held hands to keep each other warm and their friends seemed to light up around them. I guess we were all a little happy when it was time to go back inside, but all in all it was a beautiful moment. Congratulations Nicole & Jamie! I’m so happy I was able to get to know you and share in such a unique moment. A lifetime worth of good wishes!

One of my all time favorite couples! (I don’t usually pick favorites, but I can’t help it!!!)

They were calling for a winter storm on December 7th, but I think the will of Lianna and Dan kept it away! It was a chilly, but beautiful day at Bristol Harbour and even though it’s hard to stay warm in a strapless dress, Lianna seemed to be glowing and impervious to the chill in the air. Maybe that’s because after over six years, the man who started off as an intern at her work, was now about to become her husband! Lianna met Dan in front of gorgeously lit Christmas trees and held each other and they said their vows. I’m not sure I’ve ever seen such huge smiles! They combined their love and personalities symbolically in a wine ceremony, and then came back together for a kiss that could have stopped time! Again, these are the moments when I’m so happy to be doing what I do. I’m able to share in beautiful moments with beautiful people and I couldn’t be happier about it! Congratulations Dan & Lianna! I wish you a lifetime of happiness with each other. Not that you’ll need it!

So beautiful!

As always, Ayres Photo makes another wedding gorgeous. Although they were lucky it was Kim and Angelo who are such beautiful humans on the outside and inside!
