Victoria and Ethan – The Columns Banquets Wedding Photography, Elma NY

Victoria and Ethan’s wedding day has been a long time coming (the catch phrase of the day was “Finally!”), but oh boy was the wait worth it. Their wedding day was a celebration of love, faith, and family history.

We started the morning at Victoria’s childhood home, where she prepared to marry her love while surrounded by her bridal party. Everyone there was so overjoyed to celebrate Victoria and Ethan. After putting together the final details, with a brief pitstop among Victoria’s Mother’s lovely gardens, we made our way over to their church ceremony.

Now, Victoria and Ethan had a very different ceremony than the traditional church ceremony. Ethan’s father is the minster of the Lancaster Community Baptist Church,  and he oversaw the start of their marriage. They exchanged vows in front of a magnificent tree, under the arbor hand-built by Victoria’s father. Among a sea of bubbles, they celebrated back down the aisle as husband and wife.

After wandering through the gorgeous fields behind the church, and making a stop by the spot where Ethan proposed, we made our way to their Columns reception. From the moment they walked in, until the moment the night was over, it was a true celebration. There were wonderfully sweet toasts, beautiful formal dancers, and a packed dance floor all night long. They started their new lives together under sparklers, and it could not have been a more perfect ending to beautifully, sentimental day.

Victoria and Ethan – Congratulations you two on this new step in your lives together! This is only the start of your happiness together, thank you for letting me document it.
