Ewelina and Piotr's Wedding Ceremony at St. Marguerite D'Youville and Reception at Maggiano's
For those of you keeping track, I'm doing my best to catch up on all of my blog posts, so that I can post more recent photographs. I'm also trying to let the photos speak for themselves and not write too much, since my talent is not in writing! I'm going to combine catching up with keeping current (and keeping quiet!) As I have new photos to show I'll be mixing them in with the 'catch up' work. Enjoy.That being said, here are some photos from Ewelina and Piotr's wedding this past Saturday. They got ready in their home, then we went to Collins Hill Park to take some portraits. Their ceremony was held at St. Marguerite D'Youville, after which they had a reception at the most delicious Maggiano's at Perimeter.
