Wedding Officiants in Buffalo, NY

During my full-time employment years, I have been a Campus Minister, End- of-life caretaker, along with other jobs that required excellent people skills in order to do a satisfactory+ job. I have always enjoyed and continue to enjoy working with individuals who have different ways of looking at life and expressing themselves in a unique way. Whether it's a marriage ceremony or a photo shoot, I try to incorporate the customer's personalities so that the ceremony or photos are a reflection of who they are, not who I am. I enjoy elopement ceremonies the most because of their intimate nature. Oftentimes I am hired as the officiant and photographer during these ceremonies which allows me to use both skills. Officiating weddings and photographing (weddings, individual portraits, family portraits, outdoor family reunions, etc.) gives me the opportunity to be with people during some of the happiest times of their lives, rather than their saddest and most vulnerable which brings me great joy in my semi-retirement!

I am fully Covid Vaccinated. Loving what I do has allowed my ability and ease at connecting with individuals to make them genuinely comfortable. Providing a service to their liking and satisfaction is a gift acquired over years of working with many couples. Many people today have more of a Spiritual Side than a Religious Life. They want more about love and other couples like to add some of the older traditions. Combining a little bit of everything keeps all families happy. Most of all Making couples and their Multiple families feel at ease and comfortable and that to me is what Ministry life should be about! Working with couples to orchestrate their wedding has become a delight in my life. I have a wonderful over 30 year marriage because someone took the time with us to help us evolve. I love doing the same for other couples. I enjoy walking them step by step through their wedding ceremonies. Having parents and grandparents from all different cultures compliment the ceremony their children helped design offers much enjoyment as well. The wonderful expressions on the faces of the parents and grandparents when their children thank & acknowledge them in the ceremony. I was raised and married Catholic so I tend to bring a bit of Ministry and combine traditions to satisfy all combinations. Most families have no idea what to expect from a non-denominational ceremony and are pleased with the choices especially once we meet. I encourage parents especially to freely ask me any questions they have. By being Unique, Flexible & Passionate about what I do. Example: I give each couple a Gift of a Framable Wedding Certificate as a remembrance of their special day.
