After a year of rescheduling, cancellations, and life shifts... the world could no longer keep Emily & Steve from celebrating the start of their new life. On a warm spring day, these two had an intimate and relaxed wedding celebration. Emily's light hearted spirit brought a joy to the day that no amount of wedding jitters could dampen.
After a sweet ceremony at the Reikart House, Buffalo, a Tribute Portfolio Hotel , the party set off for a backyard reception. It was such a beautiful setting, which was certainly the result of many hours of loving preparation.
The rest of the evening was spent visiting and enjoying each other, everyone feeling a new lease on life, finally being together again after many months of separation.
One of my favorite moments of the day, was the surprise visit of Emily's matron of honor, Oakley, who had just had a baby TWO days before. And yet, being such an incredible friend made it to the reception and still gave her heart warming speech. Talk about best friend goals?!
Congratulations Emily & Steve! I hope these images capture all the joy and love you felt that day.
