Introducing the new Mr. and Mrs. Dale Powers

When I first met Dale and Donna, I fell in love with the beauty of their journey toward each other.  And, I really wanted to photograph their wedding!  This past Saturday, I did.

Donna, coming down the stairs at home.

Their children played or sang special music before the ceremony started.  This is Dale (on the right) peeking at them.

This is Dale's son, singing before the ceremony.

Both families lit the unity candle together. 

The ceremony was held at St. Mary's in Lockport, NY.  

Look at this entrance!  I had to have a picture!

We went down to a little-known park beside the Erie Canal for some in-between photos.

Dale and Donna hosted the reception, themselves, at their home.  As we were arriving, this ice cream truck was driving by.  Donna asked Dale for an ice cream.  (So cute!)

Donna surprised Dale with a bag-piper at the end of the evening.  He was thrilled!

Dale's niece (in yellow) was brought out of the pool to do an impromptu Irish dance for the newlyweds.  (She's really good!)

After that, the dance floor was open.  Some guests couldn't resist!

Dale and Donna, it was such a pleasure to be part of your day.  Thank you for asking us!
