This winter I was asked to take part in a styled shoot with some of Buffalo's finest. Velvet, brick, wood, and lace combined to create a rich and warm wedding scene in the Brickhall Clarence. It was a honor to be asked to be a part of this shoot, and encourage you t...
Small ceremonies will always hold a special place in my heart. The first ceremony I ever officiated had less than ten people, and it makes for a very intimate feel. Jess and Jason knew they wanted only a handful of people in attendance, and the vibe it gave their cer...
October weddings are always a shot in the dark. There might be rain, there might be snow... or it just might be warm and sunny! Kara and Bris had perfect weather for an Buffalo wedding in October. The ceremony was held on the deck of Aqua Restaurant overlooking the...
John told me that he knew they would go with me as their officiant the morning we were going to meet. That morning, right outside the window of their first house together, a hummingbird hovered. There were no flowers in sight, no feeder. When John pointed it out to...

Emily and Johnny's ceremony location was Pinterest worthy for sure! It was held at Ventosa Vineyards; behind us was Seneca lake, a huge oak tree, and vineyards. In front of us stood a stately white mansion, and we were bordered on each side by wine barrels with wildf...
I have known Ericka since I was a turtleneck wearing second grader. I spent so many summer days at her house that her mom would often call and ask what type of Pop-tarts I liked so she could stock up. After college she moved to Maryland and met Justin, a transplant f...
There are the small moments I remember long after I leave a couple; the way they were in that moment they were pronounced one. I want to share with you some of my favorite moments from Antonio and Michelle's ceremony, because there is no better way to show you who the...
