Buffalo, New York

Mike and I took a trip up to Buffalo, New York! The trip was wonderful. Weather was perfect, we were able to eat lunch overlooking the Niagara river, check out Mike's house from his childhood, visit the Maid of the Mist while exploring Niagara Falls and most importantly watch a beautiful bride, Liz Green, and handsome groom, Shane Sweeney's, hand in marriage.


We just landed and are about to get off the plane.

Friday morning Mike and I rented a car and headed to the Falls! It was breathtaking! The rainbow from the US side stretched all of the way to the Canadian side. We could have stood there for hours listening to the water falls and enjoying the list mist on our skin.



View of the Canadian side behind us.

This is where we walked out to get an awesome arial view of the falls and both sides of the river.

It was so plush and green!



Here we are on the Maid of the Mist boat ride. It was unbelievable! To think people actually put themselves in barrels and rolled over the falls for thrills is just crazy...

We stopped for lunch at Old Man River (just a mile or so down the street from Mike's childhood house).

The house! Pretty cool!

Let's get this party started with a Limo bus!!!

All aboard!

I was in charge of the strobe lighting :)



Uncle Tim, Aunt Pam and the limo crew.

The view before people started seating. Simply beautiful!

Waiting anxiously for the wedding to begin.

Here comes the BRIDE!!!

This was an emotional moment for Shane as he watched his beautiful bride walk down the aisle.

Glowing Bridesmaids.

I love this shot!

Gram signing the book. This part reminded me a lot of our wedding. I love the picture display of other family members on their wedding day :):) Nice touch!

Kyle's wife, Colleen, and Katelynn. Mike and I were amazed at how patiently she sat during the speeches and throughout dinner. She was AWESOME!

Close up after dinner and before we hit the dance floor.

This was a really special touch to the evening. Brought tears to our eyes!

Introducing: Mr. and Mrs. Sweeney!



Love you guys! So glad we could make your special day :)
