06.07 | Jenna & Jesse | Buffalo Wedding Photography | Tifft Nature Preserve, Pearl Street - City Lights Studio

We can’t wait to share images of the gorgeous and adorable Jenna & Jesse! They had a beautiful wedding and we were so excited to be a part of it. I knew it would be wonderful day when Jenna greeted me with a super cute gift bag full of snacks, water, and all sorts of goodies for myself and my wonderful second photographer, Karen 🙂 It was so sweet & definitely kept us going all day long. They had a ceremony full of love and laughter at St. Matthew’s Lutheran Church in North Tonawanda before we headed over for an adventure at Tifft Nature Preserve. It was a sunny, stunning day and we had so much fun running around, getting to work with this hilarious bridal party. They were all so great, and had us cracking up the entire time. We moved the party over to Pearl Street, where things really kicked off and everyone cut loose, tearing up the dance floor! It was a wild, wonderful party (you know, it’s never a party at Pearl St until you feel the floor shaking underneath you! haha).

All around, a fun, fabulous day full of personal touches and beautiful moments that we loved being a part of! Thank you, J&J!

These earrings!

Simple Michael Kors wedding shoes & some of her favorite trinkets, and of course, one of my favorite shots from their winter e-session 🙂

Jesse proposed using a Harry Potter book, so of course this shot was a must 🙂

I loved her succulent bouquet!

The bracelets Jenna gave to all of her bridesmaids; each unique & special!

Jenna’s bridesmaids, seeing her in her dress!

GORGEOUS, Girl!!

Love Dad’s reaction to seeing his daughter for the first time in her wedding dress. So sweet!

It ain’t a party until someone busts out the Solo cups, right?! Great job, girls 😉

Meanwhile, here’s what the boys were up to….

One of many adorable gifts Jenna gave to Jesse on their wedding day! So creative, J!

In memory of Jesse’s dad, they did a shot from a bottle that was being saved for a special occasion. Love this sweet, sentimental idea.

To my friend on the right, I’m so sorry but I really couldn’t resist including this one! That’s my Tequila-Face as well haha

Hiding out, waiting to see her groom!

One of my favorites!!

This lighting is dreeeeamy!

Obsessed.

When you tell the bridal party to “Bring It”, you’d better be ready! So many props to our best man Jake for the first cartwheel we’ve seen! Haha

Gorgeous centerpieces and custom pint glasses!

Margarita louge!

Shelf dedicated for those who were there in spirit; I love this idea

Love this series around Pearl Street which we shot quickly during cocktail hour. That building is full of great spots!!

Jesse shared a beautiful dance with both his mom & step-mom after Jenna & her dad had a sweet moment… then the dance floor opened & things got crazy! Shout out to Jeff from Toy Brothers for keeping the party going all night long!
