How lovely would it be to A) Get married to your high school sweetheart, B) Get married in a castle with a huge castle wedding cake, and C) have it all captured by the talented Jennifer and Ben of Ayres Photography. It would be lovely indeed and it’s actually the story behind Jolyne and Gregory’s wedding. Jennifer explains…

“Jolyne and Gregory are small town, high school sweethearts who wanted their wedding to really reflect their love for each other, their strong connection to their families, and their mutual affection for the little town where they met and fell in love.

Every part of their wedding day took place in their hometown of Tonawanda, NY. They were married in the church they both attended growing up, their wedding party photos were taken at The Carousel Museum (Tonawanda’s claim to fame is Carousel Horses), more photos were taken at the canal where their families have been boating together for years, and the reception was held at the most unique venue in their town – The Tonawanda Castle, which is a HUGE old armory that was converted into a reception space.

Their amazing castle wedding cake was made by a family friend. The entire day was a celebration of love and family.”

Congratulations Jolyne and Gregory and thank you for sharing your dreamy wedding pictures.
