And they're off... Congrats Sara & Rocky!

Sara & Rocky are big track fans and they ran with the theme, naming their tables after thoroughbreds and celebrating at the beautiful Canfield Casino in - where else - Saratoga. Sara represented elegance personified - she looked AMAZING! Her bridemaids glowed, and Rocky and his groomsmen exuded coolness. It was a great big bridal party full of great big fun. The weather rocked, the party even more so. Vinny from Cool Cat Entertainment kept the crowd on their feet. And I love the shot of Sara from their toast - too cute!
Thanks, Sara & Rocky, for making us a part of your fabulous day!

Congrats Adrienne & Brian

Weddings are in full swing. Next up, Adrienne & Brian tied the knot this past Saturday and partied like rock stars with Mike Garassi from Music Man Entertainment as musical host. The rain kept us under a patio during the bridal party portraits, but it didn't keep Brian & Adrienne from looking absolutely fabulous! And we managed to capture one of my all time favorite father-daughter photos to date! Wow. Sweetness...

Rene & Don - A Recap

Rene & Don had a beautiful day last September to head to Congress Park for their pre-ceremony formals with their spunky bridal party, then off to River Stone Manor for their late evening wedding. We stressed a little bit when the officiant forgot to tell the guests to be seated, limiting our coverage, but that's what keeps our job interesting - you never know what challenge you will face next. Don & Rene looked fantastic, especially during their super-entertaining first dance! Soul Session rocked the party and fun was had by all.

Congrats, Laura & James!

And we're off! Our 'official' wedding season has begun, and we started it off with Laura and James at the Desmond. If you recall, the skies opened up on Saturday, but not not before we captured a few nice shots with James & Laura and their bridal party at the Pruyn House gardens in Latham - very quickly. The ceremony was balanced with laughter and tears - but happy tears, of course. And the reception rocked with energy, hosted by Greg Frasier. James even serenaded Laura.
Thanks, James and Laura, for making us a part of your special day. We look forward to working on the video, too.

Alicia & Jeremy - Engagement

Alicia & Jeremy love to crack each other up, and as a result, they cracked us up, too. Hanging out with these two was just plain fun. We cannot wait to shoot their wedding in July; we know it will be a blast!

Lisa & Seth - Engagement

Lisa & Seth rocked their session! They are so cute together - they certainly made our job easy. And the Washington Park tulips go POP! What a great way to spend a spring evening!

Jennifer & Michael - A Colorful Engagement Session

Michael likes architecture; Jennifer likes color. The perfect location for them? Downtown Albany in spring, of course, with the rich, bold history of the buildings and the vibrancy of the tulips in full bloom. Even Pepper got in on the action.

Happy spring!

Kate + Ben = Ken - A Recap

One word that sums up these two is FUN! Affectionately known (mainly to themselves) as 'Ken' - how funny - Kate and Ben truly celebrated their wedding from beginning to end. From their heartfelt ceremony at St. Clement's Church to their kickin' reception at the Saratoga National Golf Club with one crazy bridal party. And this is one of the best 'end with the beginning' recaps we've managed to do in a while, with the shot of Kate & Ben's toasting glasses etched with their alma mater, St. Lawerence University: where it all began.

Congrats, Kate & Ben - and thanks for making us a part of your special day!
