She and Aleks set the tone for this stylish and beautiful wedding at The Otesaga, which remains one of the my favorite places to photograph. After I met these two beauties during <a href=\"http:\/\/www.erincoveycreative.com\/blog\/2015\/12\/01\/ka-6\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">their engagement session<\/a>, I was smitten. It remains to this day one of the greatest engagement sessions ever, because the two just smiled and laughed and danced their way through it. You can tell by the photographs, they have something incredibly special. They spoke of how they met at LeMoyne College, cooking up something special during chemistry class, and it only grew from there.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">There were a lot of favorites for their wedding as well, including her ring shot, which was extra special because it is the exact ring Kate&#8217;s father proposed to her mother.
