Amanda and Sean's Valentine's Day Wedding at the Hotel at the Lafayette | Buffalo Wedding Photographer

In all my years running this photography business, for some reason the February weddings have always been the most frigid. But it’s with that intense cold that usually comes some of the most beautiful of wedding days. Amanda and Sean’s Valentine’s Day wedding was no exception. With their daughter, closest family, and a crew of friends by their side that kept that laughing all day long, Amanda and Sean were celebrated wholeheartedly and with so much support as they became husband and wife – starting from even before their wedding planning began! They were one of four lucky winners of the Lucky in Love sweepstakes held by Classic Events. The support of their family and friends, voting for them to win this sweepstakes helped them plan what I can only imagine was the wedding day of their dreams at Buffalo’s Hotel at the Lafayette! A heartfelt ceremony filled with all the emotional goodness at Saint Mark’s Church and a celebration to remember… all on what was a beautiful, sunny day with fresh fallen snow all around. It was an honor to be a part of this day and I am so excited to share (probably way too many) favorites today! Congratulations again Amanda and Sean!



a heartfelt ceremony filled with all the emotional goodness, a freezing but oh-so-worth-braving-the-cold outdoor, winter portraits, and a celebration to remember… it really doesn’t get any better than that.
