Mike and Ruth Ann were married on April 24 in Buffalo. I assisted with month-of coordination and I have to say that Ruth Ann and Mike were fabulous pre-planners. Their entire wedding day was filled with love and creative personal touches. They also hired an amazing team of wedding professionals including Phenomenon Sound, Michael’s Florist, the Cheesecake Place, and the incredible Ayres Photography. Thanks to Jenn and Ben Ayres for the use of the photos below. They totally captured Ruth Ann and Mike and the great spirit of their day. For more of their photos, check out their blog post on the wedding here. Congratulations, Ruth Ann and Mike! It was an honor to assist!

More lovely details.
Getting ready… There are many moments of the wedding day when I feel beyond privileged just to be present, and the getting ready period is one of those times. The bride is surrounded by a tribe of phenomenal women who love and support her, and it’s just awesome to witness. This photo definitely captures the fun and special feeling of that time of the day.
Beautiful bride.
Wedding party shots.
One of my many favorites.
I love this one.
The St. Louis Church in Buffalo where the ceremony took place.
The “we’re married” joy.
The reception was held at Asbury Hall, which has to be one of my favorite venues ever. The team there is so on top of everything and really made my job easy.
Ruth Ann and Mike incorporated family wedding photos for guests to enjoy as they entered the reception, and I just love this detail.
The cake was a cheesecake and beyond delicious. Ask my husband; I was still talking about this cake a week after the wedding. It was that good.
Love the cake topper detail!
First dance. And all those great chiavari chairs, which Ruth Ann and I share a mutual admiration for. 
The dance floor was packed all night, and I love how you can just feel how much fun people had from this photo.
Dancing shoes.
Congrats again you two!
