Michelle & Bryan: A sneak peak.

Michelle and Bryan were married Saturday June 5, 2010 in St Mary of the Catarct Church in Niagara Falls, NY. St. Mary’s has the distinction of being the “oldest church in the Buffalo, NY diocese.” It also has a recently built steeple which is as high as the Niagara gorge is deep. How cool are those facts?

Anyway, I met Michelle and her bridal party at -”All That Jazz” Salon on Military Road in Niagara Falls. Michelle said she wasn’t feeling nervous and judging by her facial expressions I would have to agree. Michelle smiles easily. It’s a neat smile where she wrinkles up her nose and squints through eyes which have been transformed to mere slits. It’s a great smile really one that you know is genuine and followed by a deep laugh.

Nice salon. Beautiful job. Not that the girls needed any help…I’m just sayin’. Michelle had her hair done and we were off to the the couple’s home where Michelle did her makeup and slipped into her beautiful dress. I met with Suzanne who was hired as the videographer. My first opportunity to meet Suzanne when I nervously photographed my first wedding three years earlier. Suzanne was just what I had remembered; easy going, professional and results oriented.

After the girls got dressed at the couple’s home we headed to the church where the couple exchanged their vows. We then traveled to Niagara University where the couple had attended classes and Bryan works in the admissions office.

Photos were completed and we traveled to the Niagara Falls Conference Center which is one of my favorite venues in which to shoot. I love the great big windows that open floor to ceiling onto a pedestrian walk way and flood the room with natural light. The couple had their favorite band, Widowmaker play their wedding. I was happy I remembered to bring my earplugs as my ears just don’t tolerate such exceedingly loud sounds. The band wrapped up and guests began to leave. I grabbed the couple and we went for a quick walk outside and were able to capture photographs to cap off the evening.

Thanks so much for reading. Stay tuned for more.
