“We met in an Alcoholics Anonymous meeting, where we initially became friends for many months as we navigated our journeys together. After some time, we decided to take a "break" from our friendship, which gave us both a chance to reflect. However, we reconnected in October of 2021, and just four months later, we took a significant step in our relationship by moving in together. We lived in Tonawanda for about a year and a half, establishing our life side by side, before making the exciting decision to buy a house in Depew in May of 2023. Following this milestone, our engagement took place in July of 2023, marking another beautiful chapter in our rapidly progressing relationship. :)”

A Mystical Wedding

Getting Ready

Ceremony

Nick and Brenna picked the perfect location to express their love for one another. The location is so beautiful and enchanting. The trees were absolutely breathtaking. I wish all my weddings were at this lovely location in Naples, NY. The Cummings Nature Center is the place to say I DO!

Family / Wedding Party

Reception

This wedding is unique in that they decided to do family traditions. Cutting a log instead of a cake is a German Tradition. “Baumstamm sägen” or “saw the tree trunk” is a wedding tradition that requires some arm work as a representation of the first obstacle that the couple must overcome, they must express willingness and the abilities to master the hurdles that arise in marriage.
Also, Shrek was a special guest!

The Details

Details are important. Check out the details from the day! They are just a small clip of the story, but dang are they beautiful images.

The First Look

As I tell all my brides… just do it. It’s an imitate moment where you can share together and not have to keep it together in front of all your guests. This groom was BLOWN away!

Wedding Party

Although they had a small wedding party, they knew how to have fun!

The Bride and Groom

Okay, I have a lot to say here. Hang on tight.
Roger and Rockie are the PERFECT match. They had their engagement session at the same location we went to the above images. It’s important to them. They are so passionate with a side of goofy. I love it. They were my ideal client. Rockie has a special surprise for Roger on the day of their wedding. She also booked a boudoir session and decided to get a black book to gift to her man! He LOVED it (maybe not the opening it in front of the camera part.. but we wanted to get the reaction)

The Ceremony

Short and Sweet! It was such a beautiful ceremony. But let’s talk about the location for a minute!
Niagara Crossing is the location, its balcony works so well for wedding ceremonies! The only complaint was a man mowing his lawn during the ceremony but i’m sure he does that for all the wedding they do just to be that guy. When I got there, my phone said “Welcome to Canada” as we were just across the river in Lewiston.

The Reception

Time to PARTY! They had some amazing moments. If you know me, you know I LOVE getting moments with the older folks. The reason I have such a passion for those images is because those people will more than likely not be in your life a whole lot longer. There was also a moment where they got grandma out of her wheel chair and held her up to dance and I thought that was so special.

There is always so much going on with wedding planning that sometimes you get so stressed about what you should have ready for the morning of your wedding. Today I would like to help you out by providing some TIPS to make “Getting Ready” photos a breeze! I have a wedding guide that I have created to help you be prepared for your wedding photos!

Having everything together makes it so much easier for the photographer yo capture beautiful images, but it will also make the bride feel less stressful coming into wedding day. That is why I have made a wedding guide.
