I am so far behind in posting photos. I second shot a wedding with my buddy Steve last weekend. It was a perfect fall night.

I took this series of images in a matter of just a few minutes. The light was perfect! Would love to know what sweet nothings he was whispering in her ear.

Great meeting and working with you both. Wishing you much happiness!

Just a few quick ones from this Friday night wedding. Sweet couple, beautiful touches and the always beautiful Edison Club. I enjoyed meeting you both and I wish you the very best! Have fun in FL!

Here are just a few more from Saturday’s wedding. Thankfully the rain didn’t strike until Sunday. It was a beautiful day in Saratoga.

Sisters and friends.

First dance.

I spent a wonderful afternoon with this amazing couple and their family and friends. The ceremony and reception were held at the Gideon Putnam Hotel in Saratoga. What a beautiful day with a beautiful couple.

Here are just a few images. Many more to come tomorrow.

As promised, here are a few more photos from last weekend’s beautiful wedding.

I love photographing weddings. I especially love photographing the bride while she is getting ready. There is something so special about the anticipation. The room is always full of spirit.

Moments after becoming husband and wife. Love the grins!

The sun was casting such beautiful backlighting in the facility. E’s smile glowed as beautifully as the light.

Can you tell that I am a big fan of backlighting? Lovely ladies.

I love capturing moments. Thought this one was kind of fun. I was half tempted to ask for a cigar after I got a whiff!

The lovely lady in the green dress is going to be married in a few days. Wishing you luck and happiness.

It is late and I should be sleeping, but I am too excited to get this sneak peek up for this amazing couple. I am just getting back from shooting this phenomenal wedding. I have several people to mention and amazing photos of this beautiful venue to write and post about, but for now, I will post a few of my favorites. Much more to come and I can’t wait to show off the beautiful venue photos.

A fun, more modern composition. Love it!

Amazing light! I kept telling E and M how happy I was to be shooting in such gorgeous light!

Father and daughter. What a sweet moment.

I will end with my favorite image. Beautiful light, beautiful bride, what more can you ask for!

Great meeting you and your wonderful families. Keep an eye out for another post with more photos!

Here are a few more fun shots from this past weekend’s wedding. The ladies enjoyed a little bit of bubbly before getting dressed. The bride asked me to get a few photos of them in their fun t-shirts. Bride, Maid of Honor, Flower Girl. Cute! On a separate note, I have to give a shout out to this Maid of Honor. She took her job seriously…including running up 3 flights of steps at the Stockade Inn, not just once, but several times!

Adorable flower girl and bride to be. Little M loved to have her photo taken. She also had her digital camera with her and she was snapping away. A photographer in the making.

We had to get a picture of the hair! Miss I has the most amazing curls and the flowers looked amazing against her black hair.
The soon to be In-Laws popped over to the hotel for a quick visit. Great family.

Sometimes my favorite photos are just “the moments” captured when no one realizes that they are being photographed. This was one of those moments…right after becoming husband and wife.
Hello HOT COUPLE!

Alright, on a side note, I kept it under 700 images! Steve was very proud of me. I was a little nervous when after taking all of the photos of the ladies getting ready, I realized I was already at 160 images! That didn’t leave much for ceremony, formals and reception…

Just a little inside joke with Steve and I.

I have spent the last two weekends with such wonderful people as they celebrated the most special day of their lives. Yesterday Steve and I photographed a STUNNING couple at their wedding in Schenectady. Here are just a few photos that I couldn’t resist posting. When I get back into town, I will post many more from this couple’s beautiful wedding.

Here is the stunning bride as she finished getting dressed. I loved the light streaming through this window. Steve photographed the men as they were getting ready and I had the wonderful opportunity to photograph all of the ladies. We had a great time chatting and they were all so awesome. Many thanks to all of you for making my job so easy! I kept telling the bride how calm she was.
Beautiful couple.

The church in Schenectady was absolutely beautiful. Steve was photographing the groom and I took this lovely lady over to the church wall. What an amazing background for this amazing beauty. My camera loved her and I barely had to instruct her on posing as she loved the camera too!

During the reception we snuck outside to take a few pictures. I turned the flash off and found the most amazing lighting under this beautiful lantern. I have so many favorite images from our little nighttime mini photo session, but this one struck me right away. The gorgeous bride was so enthralled with this lantern and I think it really shows in this image. Talk about “finding the light.”

To the happy couple, wishing you a wonderful honeymoon! Check back in a few days for more of a sneak peek. Many thanks to the bride and groom and to all of the family and friends. You were a fantastic group to work with.

It was wonderful meeting all of you and I wish you all of the happiness in the world.

Just a few more from this past weekend. I am looking forward to photographing another wedding this weekend!

The happy couple with a special little lady. I still love some of the traditional wedding images. The flowers were so lovely too. Had to get them in this shot.
Love the lighting in this one and the beautiful detail of the dress.

The beautiful and sweet bride.

Saturday morning I hit the road with my friend and photography mentor, Steve, to shoot a wedding in Fort Plain. What a beautiful day with an equally beautiful couple. M and G were an amazing couple to work with. We spent a lot of time laughing and having a great time.

This fantastic couple already left for their honeymoon out of the country, so they won’t enjoy their sneak peek until they return but I know the families are anxious to see some photos from the celebration.
I’ve said it before and I will say it again, I love it when one of my customers say that they love a particular shot that I took and would like me to do the same for them. M saw one of my past wedding photos of an engagement ring in a bouquet. She asked that I do the same with her engagement ring. My pleasure! What a beautiful ring! I love the first dance. The expressions are priceless. I LOVE IT!! Cake smash at its best.Let’s get this party started!!!!

Love it when the suit jacket comes off and the relaxing begins!!

There is a photographic technique to get this “spinning” look. Setting a low shutter speed and spinning my camera creates this fun effect. The ladies are having a good time and it looks like fire is shooting out of the bottle!!! Funny story, just before this particular shot, I was taking another picture of the bridal party dancing using the same technique….lets just say that the picture resulted in an R rated image- purely innocent on the part of the ladies! Needless to say, that photo will stay out of the sneak peek! Hysterical!

M and G, wishing you the very best of luck in your future!

Hope you are having a fabulous honeymoon. We will be in touch when you return!

Steve, as alway, it is great working with you. Thanks for “2nd shooting” for me yesterday. I will be glad to return the favor next week when we shoot another awesome wedding together! I promise to keep it under 700 images!
