Like each of the weddings I photographed this season, my final wedding of the season was definitely long awaited.  It was my first chance to get inside the newly renovated Lafayette Hotel, and to work with another awesome couple.  I met up with them Friday after their rehearsal for a little jaunt downtown and was treated to a little sneak peek of the wedding day ahead...

The next day at the Lafayette did not disappoint. The rooms there have a great urban vibe; of course they were designed by my favorite local store, Room. Both the guys and girls were getting ready there so I was able to catch some of th4e action in both places.

 Then we went over to the Chapel at Canisius (which I have been shooting at quite a lot lately...) for the ceremony and some fun shots afterwards, including the houses that both Johnny and Carla lived in during those college years.

Back at the hotel I was able to explore a lot of the building in addition to using it as a backdrop...what an amazing Buffalo story.

My second shoot of the weekend turned out to be a stunning day, albeit a bit windy. This time it was Mike and Karen, another wedding from a couple years back, and their baby girl Emerson, who is just one. We went to Beaver Island Park, which is a great place to go in the fall, as the beach is virtually empty.  This little peanut just wanted to go, go, go and had a great time exploring with her best bud Kona and her mom and dad....

Autumn in Buffalo. Nothing could be better than the color of the light, the magnificent trees, the knowledge that few days like this remain before we enter into winter mode. In the midst of swim meets, soccer games and putting away the last of the summer furniture, I was able to spend time with two pretty awesome families, both of whose weddings I recently photographed.  On Saturday, just before a mini hail storm swept through, I met up with Deanna and Kurt and their super stylish little guy, Keaton.

It has been such perfect weather for getting families together for pictures! I recently visited Brooke and Jeff (a couple whose wedding I had photographed 8 years ago) to catch up with them and their two awesome boys, Nolan and Everett. We started out at their house and then went to a nearby park to enjoy the 70 degree day and a little baseball.

Nolan and Everett are about the nicest little boys I've met in a long time. They are completely different from one another but get along so well.
