Audrey and Michael were married on May 1, 2010. All week the weatherman called for a rainy Saturday. I prayed and prayed for no rain. I woke Saturday morning and was afraid to peer outside. As I did a smile slowly spread across my face as I saw the sun had begun to peak through the clouds.
All morning, no rain. As we drove to the church raindrops began to strike the windshield as if to thumb their nose at us. We arrived at the church and the drops began to fall with increasing ferocity. Plan “B” was now a very real option. As the bride exited the limo the rain began to fall harder. Audrey entered the church under the protective covering of a large umbrella. Plan “B” loomed large. As the ceremony progressed I noticed the rain had ceased. I poked my head outside and again was greeted by the sun. We were saved. The remainder of the day was rain free and we were able to stick with Plan “A.”
Audrey looked absolutely beautiful. She was nervous but corageously smiled as her bride’s maids assisted her getting dressed. I spoke with Kayla, the flower girl while Audrey was getting dressed and she asked, “Why are you in the room? There’s no boys allowed.” I explained my role as the photographer and she said to me, “We’re going to a party later. It’s only for the girls but you can come.”
What is there to say about this photo? I should submit it to Hallmark!

Audrey could not have looked more beautiful. Congratulations to both of you!
The bubbles. It’s all about the bubbles.
What can you say about Michael…He’s as cool as he looks.
The couple had gotten engaged on the Maid of the Mist in Niagara Falls. It took some serious fanangling to get everyone on the boat in the midst of a busy tourist season but Michael and his best man were quite persuasive. Thank God for a second deck and a wide angle lens.
That’s the Rainbow Bridge in the background. True story; the original bridge called the “Honeymoon Bridge” was accidentally destroyed in 1938 when the Niagara River froze and the weight of the ice flow crushed the bridge supports and brought the bridge down.
The rock bridge on Goat Island. This bridge connects Goat Island to the smaller Three Sister’s Island.
Congratulations Audrey and Michael. I enjoyed spending the day with both of you, your family and your friends. Thanks so much fo allowing me to be a part of your very special day.
Stay tuned for a full post.
