[carla and johnny]

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.
