Lauren & Paul - A Recap

Here's my newest favorite recap (hint - they're all my favorites)! I am lovin' this new fusion of photo and video! I wish we could do it for every wedding, but video is very time consuming and unfortuantely we have to limit the number of bookings we can accept in order to maintain our quality. Case in point - here is Lauren and Paul's recap from a very hot day in July. We are actually ahead of schedule this year. In past years we didn't even touch July weddings until after the holidays. But thanks to more photo-only coverage, we are better able to stay on top of things, which makes everyone happier!

This was a fun wedding - no, scratch that - this was a crazy, dance-your-feet-off, knock-yourself-out wedding explosion! And who would have thought... Paul seems so mellow - but they're the ones you have to watch out for - LOL. Lauren - she's just stunning. We are so excited for them to see their video - and like I said, their recap is my newest favorite. Here ya go - enjoy!

Chalene & Joe - A Recap

We were happy to put together Chalene & Joe's recap from their July wedding to a song from their list of requests. At first, I wasn't sure how it would work, but now finished, I love it! We worked in some stills as we got some great shots of these two, thanks to their pre-ceremony meeting in Congress Park. I'll say it again - we LOVE first glance meetings, especially in this situation - where the ceremony & reception take place all in one location and there is so little time in between. What could be an otherwise stressful, rushed photo session becomes a fun, laid back experience that the bride and groom actually enjoy! See for yourself:

Old Photo Restoration

My mom dug up an old photograph of a birthday party she attended as a little girl as asked me if it could be fixed. I looked over the photo and accepted the challenge. I removed most of the wrinkle and scratch marks, repaired the faces and even the fur on the pooch below the table and finished it up by adding a little sepia tone and restored some contrast.

Now that weddings are winding down, I was able to complete this in time for her get-together lunch with three other girls in the photo that she keeps in touch with.
I just thought I'd show this as an example of the touch-up work that we offer and remind our clients that we are a full service studio.

-Brian

Every few seconds the photo should change to show the before and after:

Kaylena & Scott - Engagement

Brrr - cold hands, warm hearts... That sums up Kaylena & Scott's engagement session near their future wedding site, Gideon Putnam. It warmed my heart to see Kaylena get teary-eyed when we got closer the Gideon. Their wedding will definitely be special.
Thanks, Kaylena & Scott, for meeting up with us - we look forward to shooting your wedding next October!

Congrats Emily & Brian!

Did I mention we love fall weddings? Wow - look at Emily's colors pop! And wow - did we luck out when Emily and Brian chose to see each other prior to their ceremony for some photo time. We managed to beat the downpours that came later that day and instead got some awesome shots of these two! They are so good together. The ceremony that followed was short and sweet. Their reception, quaint and relaxed.
Thanks, Emily and Brian, for making us a part of your special day!

Congrats Jaclyn & Mike!

I love fall weddings! The colors, the weather, the themes... This next one is from 10/24 (yep - still playing catch-up - October was one crazy-busy month!), and what a great day it was. Jaclyn and Mike were a fun bride and groom to work with. And boy, did they go to town with the cake... (this is the part where most brides turn to their grooms and say, 'Don't you dare...') but Jaclyn and Mike had fun with it. They kissed and made up, so all is well that ends well.
Thanks, Jaclyn and Mike, for making us a part of your special day!

Two great Congress Park sessions in a row! Next up, Mark and Shannon - beautiful day, beautiful couple ... cannot WAIT to shoot their wedding next September! We know it will be a fun one!

Thursday, October 30, 2008

April & Dave - Engagement

We're still playing catch up with all our fabulous engagement sessions... Next up is April and Dave at Congress Park in Saratoga on an absolutely beautiful day! We were thrilled to meet up with them on such short notice - especially since their wedding is only two months away!
Thanks, April & Dave - we look forward to shooting your Glen Sanders wedding in January!

Brynn - 9 months

After yesterday's snow (??!!) here's a little something (or someone) to warm your heart. It was so nice to see Miss Brynn again, this time for her 9-month session among the fall leaves. She's a very stylish little girl. Don't you just love those big, bright eyes!

Sunday, October 26, 2008

Amber & Jim - Engagement

There are still a few nice days left in the season, and we were lucky enough to spend one of them with Amber and Jim at Congress Park for their engagement shoot. Jim is quite the character - which is perfect because Amber has a great laugh, and they compliment one another so well. We look forward to shooting their Hall of Springs wedding next September!

Thursday, October 23, 2008

Heather & Tim - Engagement

It was a little brisk this day, but Heather and Tim did a good job at keeping each other warm. This was a great opportunity to meet Tim and wow - do he and Heather make a great couple!
Thanks, Heather & Tim - we look forward to shooting your wedding next August!

Tuesday, October 21, 2008

Dana & Nick - A Recap

Watch this clip and you will soon see why we just love this couple - you cannot help but smile...

Thanks, Dana & Nick - we know you are very excited to see the full movie (Dana told me at the wedding - LOL), and I hope you enjoy it as much as we enjoyed working with you!

Laura & James - Engagement

Pop! Here come the colors! Laura and James met up with us on a beautiful sunny autumn afternoon in Congress Park for their engagement shoot. We had so much fun, and nearly lost track of time. These two are naturals, which may have something to do with their background in photography. Or maybe they are just that good together! I think both...
Thanks, Laura & James - we look forward to shooting your Desmond wedding in the spring!

Sunday, October 19, 2008

Christen & Greg - Engagement

Blogmania! So many great engagement shoots in one month ... I'm getting spoiled! Christen & Greg were next to indulge us with a fun shoot at the Hall of Springs. We had a blast! It's going to be so hard waiting for their 2010 wedding... but it's always nice to have something to look forward to.
Thanks, Christen & Greg - we enjoyed working with you both!

Michelle & Chris - Engagement

Michelle & Chris had a fabulous shoot at Pruyn House - one of my favorite tucked-away spots, especially for fall. I love the character of this place, and Michelle & Chris made it that much better! They were so fun and relaxed - we look forward to shooting their wedding next August!

Friday, October 17, 2008

Erica & Adam - Engagement

Yay - fall engagement sessions are really kicking into high gear! We met up with Erica & Adam at Thatcher State Park to take in some of the amazing colors this season! I loved working with these two - they are naturals, and such a perfect fit! What a great way to spend a Sunday!
Thanks, Erica & Adam - we look forward to shooting your wedding next July!

Thursday, October 16, 2008

Congrats Erin & TJ!

Despite a few minor 'bumps' along the way (wink, wink - a little car trouble), TJ and Erin ended up having a fantastic wedding day! The weather could not have been better - and the colors near their reception venue, The Crooked Lake House, were unbelievable! They decided to meet up before the ceremony to get a few bridal party photos on the grounds at Siena College, Erin's old stomping ground. They wrote their own vows - a nice, personalized touch. And the reception got off to a great start, with their upbeat dance. Scott Hemming of Sound Control DJ kept the floor buzzing all night. Of course, everyone's favorite was the unique performance by TJ and his best man (my ears are still ringing - ha ha).

Thanks TJ and Erin, for making us a part of your special day! And we enjoyed seeing fellow videographer, Rick Califano of Video Images, too. All around, a great day!

Wednesday, October 15, 2008

Congrats Shannon & Jason!

Shannon and Jason married on an absolutely perfect fall day at beautiful Franklin Plaza. They met up before the ceremony for some fun bridal party formals, and wow - did they look great! We popped back in the famous alley for some urban-chic shots - again, these two looked awesome! The ceremony was short but sweet, and the party that followed was hot!
Thanks, Shannon & Jason, for making us a part of your special day! We look forward to working on the video soon, too.

Tuesday, October 14, 2008

Erica & Stephen - Engagement

We met up with Erica and Stephen last week where Stephen popped the question to Erica on their special bench. LOVE fall engagement shoots! We had so much fun with these two - looking forward to shooting their wedding next summer.
We have many more engagement shoots coming up so stay tuned...

Thursday, October 9, 2008

Congrats Jennifer & Adam!

Two elegant brides in one weekend! For our second wedding, Jennifer and Adam lucked out and had a perfect autumn day for an outdoor ceremony at Glen Sanders Mansion. Jennifer wore a big, beautiful smile across her face the entire day, but especially when she saw her handsome groom, Adam, waiting for her at the end of the aisle. Jenn and Adam shared a fun, upbeat first dance and Adam, what a charmer, couldn't keep his eyes off his bride during their poignant toasts. Sparklers toward the end of the night added a nice touch - oh so glad the weather held out for that!
Thanks, Jenn and Adam, for making us a part of your special day. We look forward to working on the video soon, too.

Monday, October 6, 2008

Congrats Mary & Jim!

We knew this would be a fun one! After shooting Mary & Jim's engagement session, we couldn't wait for their wedding! Mary looked absolutely stunning! Very elegant, very Grace Kelly. And Jim beamed when she came down the aisle - any groom that tears up when he sees his bride scores major points with me! Onto a nearby park where we caught some fun (and romantic) shots of this great couple before heading to the Desmond and a great party with the Karen Lawrence Band. Lotsa great footage for the video there!
Thanks, Mary & Jim, for making us a part of your special day! Glad everyone loved the guestbook!

Tuesday, September 30, 2008

Congrats Rene & Don!

Rene & Don married during a nighttime ceremony at River Stone Manor after meeting up at Congress Park in Saratoga for some fun family & bridal party photos. Have I mentioned before that I LOVE 'first glance' meetings? Well, I do! I love that the couple gets to actually interact with one another in a more private setting, and Rene & Don had a wonderful meeting! With a touch of fall crispness in the air, we lucked out with the rain holding off. The colors - LOVE the colors Rene chose! And Bobbie from Home Bloom Florist did a lovely job with the bridal bouquets.

When we arrived at River Stone, and the party got started, it was great to see Garland and Soul Session Band - they rocked the house! Rene & Don, along with their bridal party, tore up the dance floor - great for video footage!
Thanks Rene & Don, for making us a part of your special day! And last, but certainly not least... Pimp Socks!

Tuesday, September 23, 2008

Congrats Kristin & George!

When a couple requests to have their highlights posted on our blog - we remember how powerful the internet is - it really does link family and friends across the miles, allowing everyone to share in special moments they may not have been able to witness in person. We want to thank Kristin for reminding us of that!

Kristin and George had a beautiful wedding at St. Mary's Church in downtown Albany. Kristin really did look like a magazine bride - simply stunning - and the flower girls - absolute dolls! George is one lucky guy - and I think he knows it, judging by the fabulous smile on his face all day long. Their reception followed at Franklin Plaza with one of the most gorgeous cakes ever. Everything about the day exuded elegance.

Thanks, Kristin and George, for making us a part of your special day. Your girls are so lucky to have you both - they are adorable! And we wish you all the best!

Sunday, September 21, 2008

Congrats Christina & Rob!

Wow - Christina and Rob hit the jackpot with a crazy beautiful Saturday and a fabulous wedding day! Christina glowed - absolutely stunning - and Rob beamed from ear to ear. I LOVED Christina's flowers - the colors totally popped - warm and yummy! The bridal party was in good spirits - I'm sure they enjoyed the weather, too.
Thanks, Christina & Rob, for making us a part of your special day. We look forward to working on the video soon, too.

Kara & Greg - Recap

Kara and Greg married at beautiful historic St. Mary's in downtown Albany - you may remember them from their photos. They incorporated some unique traditions into their ceremony, including the lasso and coin exchange from Greg's heritage. My favorite, of course, were their vows - I love the emotion in their voices. Their reception followed at the Desmond Hotel with the fantabulous AudioStars. Kara and Greg skated across the dance floor for their elegant first dance - they did a great job! The only bummer (for us) were the fans humming throughout the ceremony, so please excuse the background noise - but unfortunately fans are a necessary evil in the hot summer months like this year had! Regardless, I cannot watch their clip without tearing up. Here is it - enjoy!

Saturday, September 13, 2008

Congrats Kate & Sean!

Two Kate's from Boston - both in the same weekend - but two very unique weddings. That's what makes weddings so great - each one is different and special in its own way.

Kate and Sean married and partied at the Saratoga Hilton, which worked out perfectly, since the weather decided to be less than pleasant. Didn't matter one bit - with the sleek, modern backdrop of the Hilton and a fun-loving bridal party, we managed to capture some fantastic moments for these two. Their first dance was a personal favorite - Chasing Cars by Snow Patrol. I've been waiting for someone to choose this song as their first dance, and it seemed perfect for Kate and Sean!
Thanks, Kate and Sean, for making us a part of your special day. We look forward to working on the video soon, too!

Friday, September 12, 2008

Congrats Kate and Ben!

Still playing catch-up with the blog. Next up: The fabulous Kate and Ben (or Ken, as some of their friends affectionately know them - too funny). We knew they would be a blast to work with, after their awesome engagement session. From the moment we arrived, Kate looked radiant! And Ben, cool as a cucumber, despite the heat. They married at St. Clement's Church and truly embraced the moment. I love that when they walked out of the church after the recessional, they beamed - Kate gasped, they kissed and their excitement was as novel and exhilarating as a couple who had just got engaged. My wish for them is that they keep that joy for a lifetime. And judging from their party at Saratoga National Golf Club, they will.
Thanks, Kate and Ben, for making us a part of your special day - we look forward to working on your video soon, too.

Wednesday, September 10, 2008

Congrats Joleine and Andrew!

Playing catch up with the blog! Here's the next awesome wedding in the line-up: Joleine and Andrew married on a gorgeous day surrounded by friends and family, and a surprise balloon release! They followed up their ceremony with a kickin' party at the Desmond, with musical host, Fernando of Piano Man DJs. Of course, we enjoyed a few fun photo ops with these two - they are naturals! And when we learned that Andrew's favorite number was eight, we found a creative way to document that, as well, since it was part of their wedding date!
Thanks, Joleine and Andrew, for making us a part of your special day! We look forward to working on the video soon, too.

Congrats Julie and Tom!

This wedding was so special - almost like a retrospective for us! Seeing so many of our previous brides & grooms at their wedding actually gave me chills! Julie knew she wanted to hire us long before they were even engaged - she first knew us from Tom's sister's wedding back in 2001 - Kymberly and Charlie - we thank them for introducing us to their wonderful families. Then Tom's other sister, Jennifer (another date twin for us - June 21st!), his brother, Matthew, several family friends, and Julie's sister, Erin... the list goes on and on. And then it finally happened - Julie and Tom planned to tie the knot and we knew it would be a wedding to remember!

Julie looked absolutely stunning, and Tom - such a gentleman. What a sweet couple - they brought tears to my eyes several times thoughout the day - it was such a treat to see them so happy and witness all their plans come together. We love this family!

So here it is - finally, Julie and Tom's wedding celebration!


Sunday, September 7, 2008

Congrats Amber & Jeremy!

We headed back to beautiful River Stone Manor for the second week in a row for Amber and Jeremy's wedding. They wrote their own vows, adding a special touch. Unfortunately summer is coming to an end, and it is getting dark rather quickly, so we improvised and moved the formals indoors. Amber and Jeremy still looked great and most importantly, enjoyed each other's company. (Nice moves on the dance floor, too!)

Wednesday, September 3, 2008

Congrats Mary Beth & Dino!

Mary Beth and Dino married on a BEAUTIFUL day at River Stone Manor, followed by a super-fun reception, with lotsa high-energy Greek dancing! Mary Beth looked absolutely radiant - Dino, very handsome! Their bridal party and families were a dream to work with - we had a blast!

Thanks, Mary Beth and Dino, for making us a part of your special day. We knew after your engagement session that your wedding would be fantastic! And it was. We look forward to working on the video soon, too.

Friday, August 29, 2008

Congrats Amanda & Chad!

Amanda and Chad (and Abaigeal, too!) had a beautiful day! They married at St. Rose before we headed downtown to the Capital Building for some fun with their bridal party. We dodged raindrops, long enough to get some adorable shots of these two. They are so good together!

Thanks, Amanda & Chad, for making us a part of your special day! We look forward to working on the video soon, too.

Monday, August 25, 2008

Kate & Ben - Engagement

Wow - did we have fun with these two! They are so great together - they completely indulged us with a fabulous engagement shoot at Yaddo Gardens. With such crazy schedules for all of us, and Kate and Ben traveling in from Boston - I'm so psyched that we could coordinate some time to meet up and 'play.'
Thanks, Kate and Ben. We look forward to shooting the wedding - only 2 weeks to go!

Sunday, August 17, 2008

Congrats Kiley & Matthew!

Wow - what a party! Following their early afternoon ceremony at St. Thomas in Delmar, Kiley and Matt showed everyone what it meant to celebrate a wedding! Die-hard Yankee fans, Kiley and Matt carried the theme throughout their wedding, from the blue bridesmaid dresses, to the guest tables named in honor of their favorite players, to the unique cake topper (which we HAD to recreate - all in good fun - thanks Matt, for putting up with that one!), the reception exuded Kiley and Matt's enthusiasm for their favorite team, and for each other. Love, love, loved their first dance! And the Refrigerators kicked-started the party, which exploded well into the night.
Thanks, Kiley and Matt, for making us a part of your shout-out-loud, gotta-love-it wedding day! We look forward to working on the video soon, too.

Wednesday, August 13, 2008

Congrats Aimee & Ryan!

A beautiful wedding day for Aimee and Ryan... FINALLY! (I'm saying that in regards to the weather, but their family and friends were probably saying that in regards to their 10+ year friendship turned courtship!) You may remember them from their oh-so-fun engagement shoot at the grade school where they first met. We knew from that moment that their wedding would be all about fun, which it was. Following their short-but-sweet ceremony, the bagpiper and drummer added a classic touch, escorting the couple into their Franklin Plaza reception.

Thanks, Aimee & Ryan, for making us a part of your special day! We look forward to working on the video soon, too!

Kristi - Bridal Session

Kristi (of Kristi and Ryan) jumped at the chance to twirl in her beautiful dress once more on a day when we had much more time to hit a special location. Special thanks to Cristina Rivera at Glowing Faces for lending her make-up talents. Kristi is such a natural in front of the camera - glowing, sweet, stunning - and she fit right in among the gorgeous roses of Yaddo Gardens. Seeing a bride in the gardens gave it a whole new romantic feel!

Sunday, August 10, 2008

NIck & Dana - Bridal Session!

I'm so glad Dana & Nick were up for this! Since it was so crazy hot and humid on their otherwise perfect wedding day, we were able to get together on a more refreshing summer-friendly day. Nick was such a sport to do this! And he got to see his beautiful bride one more time in her amazing dress! Who else could pull this off twice so well? (Anyone is welcome to try - we had so much fun!)

Friday, August 8, 2008

Brynn - 6 months

We were so happy to see Brynn again! You may remember her from her adorable 3-month session... Could she be any cuter??? Thoughout her shoot, I just kept saying, "She should be in diaper commercials!" How sweet is this face...
Looking forward to her 9-month session, part of her 'Baby Steps' Program which chronicles her first wonderous year. I am so honored to get to see her grow!

Thursday, August 7, 2008

Jennifer & Adam - Engagement

Right back to Yaddo Gardens, and those rumbles of thunder we heard earlier in the day brought with it raindrops. We had to work FAST before scooting over to the Hall of Springs where we took cover until the showers past. But it made for some nice variety, and Jennifer and Adam rolled with it, looking fabulous in every location.
Thanks, Jennifer & Adam, for being so flexible. We were so glad to get a chance to meet up with you while you were in town, and we look forward to shooting your wedding in October!

Tuesday, August 5, 2008

Emily & Brian - Engagement

Rumbles of thunder in the distance did little to interefer with Emily & Brian's session at our favorite, Yaddo Gardens. So glad the rain held off long enough to get in some nice shots of these two, since Emily and Brian were in town for just the weekend!
Thanks, Emily & Brian! We look forward to shooting your October wedding!

Friday, August 1, 2008

Kelly & Wes Engagement

We had a blast meeting up with Kelly & Wes at Yaddo Gardens for their engagement shoot. We're thrilled they could make some time while in town - we know, it's tough planning a wedding from out of the area!
Thanks, Kelly and Wes - we look forward to shooting your wedding next June! PS. Nice wheels!

Thursday, July 31, 2008

Congrats Lauren & Paul!

Lauren & Paul married at St. Francis de Sales and partied hard at the Desmond. Theirs was one of the hottest weddings we've ever shot. Might have been the most humid (even our cameras couldn't handle it - one decided to quit and is now in for repair - good thing we ALWAYS bring back-ups!). And it was definitely one of the rowdiest weddings we've ever seen! The dance floor was packed from beginnning to end - amazing!

Thanks, Paul & Lauren, for making us a part of your special day! Congrats on a stellar party! We look forward to working on the video soon, too!

Sunday, July 27, 2008

Amanda & Matthew Engagement

Back to beautiful Yaddo Gardens for Amanda & Matt's engagement shoot ... we love it there! Thanks, Amanda & Matt, for meeting up with us. So glad we rescheduled - the weather was beautiful. Looking forward to shooting your wedding next year on an oh-so-popular September date!

Friday, July 25, 2008

Congrats Courtney & John!

Wow - can it get any hotter??? I keep saying it because I'm amazed by the weather this year. And I'm amazed by how beautifully Courtney and John handled it! Courtney looked oh-so-awesome - she knows what she's doing; after all, she is the proud owner of the Color Bar Hair Studio in Schenectady - some talented stylists over there! And John - the ideal groom - I LOVED how he smiled all day long! We got some killer shots of these two, looking absolutely fabulous. Throw in a great bridal party and you have an excellent wedding!

Emma Willard provided a beautiful backdrop for their ceremony. And Vinnie from Cool Cat Entertainment hosted a great party at the Franklin Plaza Ballroom, as always. Kudos on the first dance, Courntey and John - very smooth! Can't wait to see that on the video!
Thanks, Courtney and John, for making us a part of your special day! And we're thrilled the guest book was such a hit!

Monday, July 21, 2008

Erin & Jeremy Engagement

We met up with Erin & Jeremy (and Duke) in Saratoga State Park for their engagement shoot on a nice, breezy summer day. I love that Erin thought enough to bring a change of clothes to 'mix it up' a little. Love the bright pink! Can't wait to shoot the wedding next June!

Sunday, July 20, 2008

Congrats Angela & Dan!

This has been one tough year with the weather, but every now and then you get lucky, like when the wind blows the fireworks into the shape of a heart!!! Angela & Dan had such luck - a great shot during their spectaular fireworks display to celebrate their wedding at the Mohawk River Country Club. Nate from Piano Man DJs turned some tunes for a FUNtastic party! (Okay - maybe that was a little corny, but I can't help myself - weddings do this to me!)

A fun bridal party, a happy bride and groom, a celebration off the charts - all around a great day for a great wedding. Thanks, Angela & Dan, for making us a part of your special day!

Wednesday, July 16, 2008

Congrats Chalene & Joe!

Chalene and Joe had a beautiful day! Friday blessed us with some fabulous weather, which allowed us to head to Congress Park for some great shots with family and bridal party before the ceremony. We then headed back to the Saratoga Hilton for a sweet ceremony, followed by a rockin' party, hosted by DJ Greg Frasier. Joe's three beautiful daughters tore up the dance floor. And Chalene smiled nonstop throughout the day, and who could blame her after hearing Joe's poignant speech.



Thanks, Chalene & Joe, for making us a part of your special day! We look forward to working on your video soon, too! Lotsa great dancing footage, for sure.

Tuesday, July 15, 2008

Dawn & Kevin - Engagement

Got heat? 90 degrees and humid and these two are lovin' it! Dawn & Kevin convinced us that, yes, they do enjoy the heat, so luckily the thunderstorms stayed away and we met up for their engagement session last week at SPAC. What fun, romping about the grounds... we got some great shots of these two, genuinely enjoying themselves.

Thanks, Dawn & Kevin - we look forward to shooting your wedding next May!

Monday, July 14, 2008

Amanda & Chad - Engagement

We met up with Amanda & Chad in our favorite spot - Yaddo Gardens - for their engagement shoot last weekend. Amanda has the greatest spunky smile, and Chad was up for anything. I love when the groom is as excited as the bride! Thanks, Amanda & Chad - we look forward to shooting your wedding next month!

Thursday, July 10, 2008

Mary and Jim - Engagement

Oh my goodness - I have been so excited to post Mary & Jim's epics from Yaddo Gardens, but a few computer issues slowed us down... Finally, here they are! I 'heart' engagement sessions! I 'heart' Yaddo. And I 'heart' Mary and Jim!!! What a great couple - we so look forward to shooting their wedding in October!

Thanks, Mary and Jim, for bringing us out on a beautiful day to share in some great moments! Enjoy!

Wednesday, July 2, 2008

Congrats Kara & Greg!

Whew - another hot one ... the couple and the day! With an elegant up-do, courtesy of her talented matron of honor, Jessica, and the soft touch of Alayne from Make Me Fabulous, Kara looked radiant! And Greg, in his dress blues, looked very handsome. They married at the glorious St. Mary's in downtown Albany, followed by some fun bridal party photos at the State Capital - thankfully, the rain held off long enough to get in some nice shots. Then we headed to the Desmond where they celebrated with the exuberant AudioStars! Great party!

Thanks, Kara & Greg, for making us a part of you special day! We look forward to working on the video soon, too!

Thursday, June 26, 2008

Congrats Torri & Rob - our anniversary twins

Busy weekend! Not only was it our anniversary - 11 years and counting - but we had two great weddings to shoot! On Saturday (6/21), Rob & Torri married at the bussling Gideon Putnam Resort in Saratoga, among all the Dave Matthews Band concert-goers. I'm so glad they decided to have a first glance meeting, because the weather was beautiful (for a change) and we had plenty of time to get some nice shots of the family, bridal party and the two of them interacting. They are so cute together! And they seemed so much more relaxed and were able to truly enjoy their day. Here are a few favs...
We look forward to working on the video soon, too! Thanks. Torri & Rob!
