Two of downtown Buffalo’s most gorgeous venues, a rooftop photo session, a huuuge bridal party, some seriously crazy dancing & an absolutely beautiful couple… Oh yes, we’ve got it covered! So excited to be sharing the highlights from Mark & Kristen’s big, fabulous wedding, one month ago today 🙂 We had a BLAST hanging with this crew & capturing shots of them all over the city. They had a stunning ceremony at St Joseph’s Cathedral before we bounced around town for bridal party pictures before settling in the at The Hotel @ The Lafayette for a wild reception!

Weddings are such a beautiful way to bring everyone together, especially friends or family members who don’t get to see each other often. I don’t know who these people are but they sure are adorable 🙂
