Happy New Year! I’m starting off 2016 with a really unique wedding from the Niagara Falls Rapids Theater. You might remember Chris & Courtney from their engagement photos last fall. Just like their wedding, it was a unique location. You’ll have to click here to see where. ;) Unfortunately, for Chris & Courtney, both their engagement and weddings were cold and rainy. It’s a rare occurrence, but it happens. Whenever the weather isn’t perfect, my philosophy is to “use it”. If it’s raining, let’s try to get some cool shots in the rain! Thankfully, on their wedding day we missed most of the rain.

We started out in a few hotel rooms overlooking the Niagara Falls area. Courtney had a great group around her, these girls were a lot of fun! After getting ready, we went over to Three Sisters Island for the First Look with the groom. We set up the shot and let them go! First Looks are always special and this one was no different! I love seeing the reactions of the bride and groom seeing each other for the first time. We stayed on the Island for some photos with Chris and Courtney, but eventually it just got too cold for everyone, so we finished up the photos at The Rapids Theater in Niagara Falls, NY.

The Rapids Theater is a really amazing venue. Whether it be a concert, a party, or even a wedding, it’s an incredible place. Two of the things that stick out are the ceiling and the lighting. It’s rare to shoot a wedding with professional stage lighting but it looked so great. We made a point to include the ceiling in some of the first dance photos so be sure to check them out below. After the ceremony and cocktail hour we went right into the reception. Chris and Courtney got things going with their first dance. Once dinner was done it was time for Nerds Gone Wild to take the stage.  If you’re ever looking for an 80’s cover band, these guys are it! The party was such a great time!

Thank you so much Chris & Courtney for having me on your wedding day!
