Somehow Becker Farms looks even more beautiful when it’s full of beautiful people. And that was the case on Friday September 6th, as Joey and Bruce arrived for their big day. It was an ideal day for an outdoor wedding. It wasn’t hot or cold, it was magical! Everyone gathered around right on time looking excited for this moment to finally happen. As I walked out with Bruce he was cool as a cucumber, standing up front looking relaxed and eager. Of course when Joey walked out, looking stunning, he suddenly looked a little more nervous than before! They both were the perfect amount of nervous, holding hands, giving half smiles, and small laughs. I watched both of them fight back tears for 15 minutes, which is no easy task! When that final moment came, they were almost in each others arms before I finished saying “you can now kiss the bride.” Now that’s love! Congratulations to a wonderful couple! I’m so glad to two of you found each other and I know the happiness you felt this day will continue on throughout your life.

Back to back Banchetti by Rizzo’s weddings and you won’t hear any complaints from me! It’s a beautiful spot and looked amazing on August 24th for Melissa & Robert. When I first got there, Robert and his groomsmen were throwing out all the usual jokes. That they could be heading to Canada, that they could hide me and go drink instead. It’s pretty common from the guys, but when the bride walks out, the groom always stops joking when he sees how beautiful his wife to be is! Melissa was a little nervous, practicing her breathing as we waited for the moment to start. When it did, it was so lovely. A lot of couples are nervous and I think miss a lot of the ceremony, but Melissa and Robert heard every word and responded and reacted to the description of their relationship, which I love! Their sand ceremony with sand from Japan (where they met) made it a unique and perfect moment. Congratulations Melissa and Robert! You met each other thousands of miles from home, but knew that this was the person that would become your home. I wish you nothing but the best!

Sunday August 18th was a beautiful day! If you’re having an outdoor wedding, this is the kind of day you spend most of the year hoping for. The gazebo at Banchetti by Rizzo was just waiting for Corey and Michael to get up there and get married! Corey hid behind a parasol as she came out and waited for the big moment. After some late comers hurried to their spot, the groomsmen and bridesmaids made their way to the front single file. Then everyone turned to see Michael escorting his bride to be to their alter. My favorite moment was when I told Michael it was time for his vows and he looked at me with nerves running wild and told me to make Corey go first. It was hilarious! They made it through that, lovely as expected, and then stepped up into the gazebo to light their unity candle and unite both of their lives together. It was a beautiful moment and a happy, happy day! Congratulations Corey and Michael! After so many years of having to be apart, you are finally together forever! You’re rainy evenings are over…Much love from me to you!

A beautiful day spent at Becker Farms, is a wonderful day. A beautiful day spent at Becker Farms with Kim and Angelo (not to mention Ayres Photography) is a perfect day! The sun was shining as Angelo, his best man, and myself stood in the grape vineyards waiting for the big moment to begin. The air was filled with the gorgeous sounds of a harp as guests filed in and chose their seats. At one point Angelo’s dad called because we were so busy admiring the beauty around us, they lost track of us in the vineyard! Luckily, Angelo was there and waiting for his beautiful bride. When Kim came out, she looked amazing. She walked down to Angelo with tears already in her eyes, and he soon followed suit. It was difficult for me to make it through the vows because they were both so moving and emotional. After they kissed, I kind of wanted to hug them both because it was such a touching moment! Congratulations Kim and Angelo. I’m so happy that we were able to meet and connect over the internet and that I was able to share in this day. You’re a beautiful couple and I wish you nothing but the best!

Saturday August 17th was a beautiful day! Especially in a lovely back yard in Niagara Falls with the always gorgeous Naia getting ready for her big day. If I had awards to give out, I think Naia and Joe would win most laid back couple. They are the epitome of “go with the flow.” As family and friends gathered I could tell that everyone was relaxed and just happy for this day to be happening. Joe and Naia walked out together in the shade of Joe’s dad’s backyard and shared in a beautiful moment. The best part is that just because the wedding is over, doesn’t mean I don’t get to see them again since Naia and I now work at the same place! Best! Congratulations Joe and Naia. You’re a wonderful couple and I know you’ll have a happy lifetime together. So glad I was able to be a part of your day.

Karpeles Manuscript Museum never fails to elicit a sound of wonder from first time visitors. It is a beautiful building, and was even more so on August 10th for Careesa and Mike’s wedding. It was a beautiful day and as their guests filed in, the happy couple hunkered down below waiting for their big moment. They didn’t look nervous at all! Just complete happiness. As the strings swelled in the magnificent room, Mike and Careesa made their way to the front to share their love with their closest friends and family. For a love that began in high school, it was a joy for all to finally see it completed through grasped hands. Congratulations Michael and Careesa! I wish you love and happiness, but don’t doubt for one second that you don’t even need my wishes…you’re perfect together!

Niagara Falls is a perfect place for out-of-towners to get married. Not only is it unbelievably beautiful, but it’s one of the wonders of the world! And I think April and Amy took full advantage of it’s beauty. It was a small ceremony on August 8th, just the two of them and a witness, but it was as full of meaning as any wedding could be. Complete with two blue balloons, which were there to honor April’s mother, which they let go and watched soar above the falls. It’s difficult planning things from out of town, but when it’s as important to you as this day was to them, you figure it out! Congratulations Amy and April! Although we only met the day of the wedding, I feel like I know you pretty well from all those emails! Best wishes and endless happiness!

August 3rd was a great day. I had two weddings (which makes me really happy) and the second one was between the adorable Jaclyn & Ryan! At the fancy Adam’s Mark Hotel I found Ryan who was doing a pretty good impression of a non-nervous person (that image faded when we were at the alter) and a gorgeous Jaclyn who was working on the finishing touches. As the crowd gathered, Ryan waited up front for the moment to begin. As we stood together, his nerves came out. He told me he doesn’t like speaking in front of people and I assured him that the ceremony would be painless (it really is!). Soon enough, Jaclyn came out and Ryan seemed to forget he was ever nervous. They looked at each other with excited eyes and ended up almost whispering their vows to each other which was intimate and beautiful. Their sand ceremony was Sabres colored which is one of those touches that helps make a wedding your own. Congratulations Ryan & Jaclyn. I’m so glad I met both of you and look, you made it through the ceremony! Nothing but good luck for the two of you!
