Maria & Chuck: Buffalo NY, Wedding Celebration at Salvatores

06.14.25

I’ve had the privilege of knowing Maria and Chuck for several years, so being chosen to document their wedding journey felt truly special. Their engagement session at Hotel Lafayette was such a memorable day—a little picnic complete with strawberries, champagne, cake, and roses. It was a perfect, intimate start to their photography journey, full of laughter and quiet, meaningful moments.

On the morning of their wedding, Maria and Chuck got ready separately, savoring the excitement and anticipation of the day. They chose to have a first look, followed by immediate family photos on the grand staircase at Salvatore’s. It was such a beautiful, intimate moment, giving them a chance to connect and settle their nerves before the ceremony.

Their wedding ceremony took place at Salvatore’s in Buffalo, NY, surrounded by friends and family who share such a close, tight-knit bond. Maria and Chuck’s day was unhurried and heartfelt, filled with the kind of love that’s easy to see in every glance and smile. They met as family friends, and it was an honor to watch them grow into this version of themselves and celebrate the next chapter of their story.

From start to finish, their day radiated warmth, joy, and authenticity, and I feel so grateful to have been there to document it all.
