A Heartfelt Ceremony in Buffalo, NY
The celebration began on August 8th at The Karpeles Manuscript Library Museum in Buffalo. Jessica and Conner invited their closest family and friends to witness their vows. Conner’s brother, also his best man, officiated. This added a deeply personal touch to the ceremony.
Afterward, we captured family portraits. Then we moved into couples photos inside the museum and on the front steps. Music played. Kisses were shared. Joy radiated from every corner. Later that evening, everyone headed downtown to Britesmith Brewing to celebrate with dinner and drinks.
Day Two: A Backyard Celebration in Clarence, NY
The next morning, the festivities continued in Clarence, NY. With matcha in hand, Jessica and Conner embraced the day with their favorite people. Conner laughed with his groomsmen while they got ready. Meanwhile, Jessica and her bridesmaids sang along to Taylor Swift while finishing hair and makeup.
They shared a relaxed first look. Then we moved into portraits with their dogs, who stole the show. Next, guests greeted them warmly during a heartfelt receiving line. It set the tone for the afternoon.

Their backyard reception in Clarence felt like a dream. With a white tent, soft florals, and a checkerboard dance floor, the space transformed beautifully. Guests danced, toasted, and laughed under string lights. The night overflowed with joy.
