It's hard to put into words how much we enjoyed the experience of our vow renewal at this wonderful Chapel. Jacqueline was great to work with from the very beginning after my husband found their information on the web and turned it over to me. We were able to have our ceremony on the same day and time as we did 25 years ago and I must say I truly believe I enjoyed this more. She answered all of my phone calls and emails in a timely fashion and was even able to recommend a salon for my "beauty treatment" that day (we are from North Carolina). The Garden we preferred is immaculate and very romantic, especially the wedding alter. The Chaplain she arranged performed an excellent ceremony and had a good sense of humor. Lastly, Charles took some of the best pictures (especially of me) that I could ever have hoped for! All I can say, in closing, is that I hope I'm around for another 25 years to celebrate our 50th with them!!!!!!!

I have had the pleasure of working with Charles Vandersluys, Baldini and Vandersluys Photographers, Niagara Falls, Ontario, over the last year. I live in London, Ontario and wanted to hire a professional photographer in Niagara Falls to take a group photo of myself with my classmates to commemorate the 50th anniversary of our graduation from Loretto Academy. Baldini and Vandersluys Photographers came highly recommended.
The preparation Charles put into meeting all of my requests paid off. Our group photo is perfect in every way.
Thank you!

He does a great job different ethnicities in terms of proper lighting and positioning to make sure his clients have the perfect photos. Did I mention that he’s funny?

WoW! Where to start! Such and amazing experience.
Krista and I were married in September 2018 at Niagara Falls Chapel on the Lane. Jacqueline walked us through everything from beginning to end. She is so Friendly and easy to work with. She most definitely exceeded our expectations. From the flowers to the minister and even referring us to an amazing restaurant.
After our ceremony we turned the wedding in to a photoshoot!
We couldn’t be happier with the results. The album turned out absolutely perfect and Charlie was amazing to work with.
We plan on returning for some Family portraits in the future.
We are so thankful for the passion put into making our special day so perfect. We highly recommend Niagara Chapel on the Lane.
Sincerely
Krista & Mark Benedict

Engagement Photographers Niagara
"Charles was fantastic to work with through out the entire process of trying to work out a surprise engagement at Niagara Falls. He helped out with the planning, as well as the location, which was incredibly useful considering I'd never visited the Falls before. I had some trouble trying to coax my girlfriend (now fiance!) into getting to the planned location on time. Despite the fact we showed up 45 minutes late, Charles had waited outside for us in the cold/snow/rain to catch the moment I proposed. We can't thank him enough for sticking with us and being so courteous despite everything! That is the type of dedication that Charles puts into his craft and it definitely shows in our pictures. They came out amazing and I can't recommend him highly enough! 10 out of 5 Stars for Baldini and Vandersluys Photographers!" Nathan and Katie
