Kate & Josh's Colorful Industrial Loft Wedding

Updated: Mar 28

Meet Kate and Josh - another couple who got the double wedding Covid special… and I had the honor of being at both!


In 2021 they exchanged vows at Buffalo City Hall and made their marriage official. I want to show you their 2022 wedding though - a colorful, joy-filled party at what was formerly know as the loft at Thin Man Brewery and is currently Riff City Social.


This colorful industrial loft wedding set around graffiti murals gives me such genuine Buffalo vibes and I absolutely love it! But more so - I love this sweet couple!


I met Kate years ago when she was working as a coordinator at one of western NY's wedding venues and we became fast friends. She's one of those do anything for you friends and when it came time to plan my own wedding in 2021 she was right there by my side ready to help with anything I needed. She ended up coordinating my day (thank goodness - I would have lost my mind without her!) and I agreed to photograph her weddings.


Best decision ever! I finally got to meet Josh - her totally compatible other half who's equally as sweet and kind.


Their 2021 wedding was sweet and intimate - just the two of them, their mommas and the City Hall officiant. So in 2022 I was so happy to see them finally get to celebrate with all of their family and friends with the party they deserved!


Check out all of the beautiful moments from their day below!
