Lauren and Robert had planned a small wedding right from the start so luckily had to make no major changes to their wedding day. They had a beautiful and intimate day at Hotel at The Lafayette in downtown Buffalo, NY. The Courtyard Room was the cozy setting for their reception and its courtyard was the perfect romantic setting for their ceremony. The bride got ready at the hotel which allowed us to take portraits on the balcony in the front of the hotel, a wonderful setting! For bride and groom portraits, we stayed near the hotel and walked across the street to Lafayette Square. The whole day was centered around family and it was classic and just right, and most importantly full of joy.

Finally, I am making time to create the albums for my wedding and frame some prints! I never thought it would take me over a year but 2016 was a crazy one and I’m always busy with work so I have to carve out time for personal projects. After getting married in 2015 and totally loving the whole wedding planning process, I have started advertising weddings as a service I offer. I have been shooting weddings for years through referrals but with weddings being more unique, creative, and styled nowadays, I am shooting a lot more weddings! So now that wedding season is over, I have made the time to finish up projects with my own wedding photos and share them here on my blog.
On August 28, 2015 I married Michael Kieffer and since we are both editors of Auxiliary Magazine we playfully dubbed it the Auxiliary Wedding. I always thought my wedding would be very non-traditional but as we started planning I found I really wanted to do many of the traditions so our wedding became a balance between following along with tradition and making it our own.
