Congratulations to Diana and Will! They were married a few weekends ago this month at the Hiland Golf Course in Queensbury, NY. I am always impressed with the professionalism and beauty of this venue. I wish I had the opportunity to work there even more! For those of you who have attended a Jewish wedding, you know that it is a photographer's DREAM! There are so many great traditions throughout the day, from the groom's "unveiling" of the bride before signing the Ketubah, or the breaking of the bread before dinner and the dancing of the Hora when the couple is hoisted into the air by their friends and family. Diana and Will's wedding was exciting from the first moment I arrived to find Will racing around on his cell phone coordinating and making sure everything was perfect before Diana's arrival. Well done, Will. The other excitement came as a result of the pouring rain stopping just as we started the family portraits before the ceremony - and the sun breaking through right at dusk to give us some beautiful late day light outside on the golf course. Also my first time working with videographer Al Woodard, who was an absolute joy to have with us throughout the day! DJ Andy Pratt kept everyone dancing as he always does - I always recommend Andy to my prospective clients, knowing that if they are happy with their DJ, they'll be happy with their reception - and I won't have to look for something to photograph since everyone will be on the dance floor! Thanks Andy. Finally, I just have to say, that I was a little nervous about photographing Diana and Will since I had not had a chance to meet with them before the wedding. Living so far across the country, our schedules never permitted us to meet face to face, only through e-mail, Facebook, and the phone. I always like to KNOW each couple beforehand so that we have a working relationship the day of the wedding. This just wasn't possible, so I would like to personally THANK both Diana and Will for being so completely amazing to work with and so willing to just go with the flow, and let their day unfold without worrying about me or what I was photographing, or what I was asking of them. You two are the best!!! Congratulations again - may you have a long and happy marriage!!

ReplyDeleteWe can't even begin to properly thank you for being such a huge (yet ninja-like!) part of our day. Things just happened, seamlessly, and the end results are AMAZING. You are as charismatic as you are talented. :-)
We'd planned a NY wedding from allll the way out in AZ, it rained allll morning the day of, and yes, we'd never met you in person... tensions were high as we all arrived one by one at Hiland Park and you INSTANTLY put everyone at ease. Amazing.
Formal photos were effortless. Our extended families (who've attended many a "simcha") commented on just how quickly & smoothly everything flowed, "EVERYONE should do it this way!" ...high praise indeed from a group not easily impressed.
Photos throughout the rest of the evening were the perfect balance. We knew there would be plenty of photos of us on the dancefloor, and you caught every tradition along the way, but you weren't "in our faces" and we heard nothing but praise from guests - days and weeks after the event - for things that we hadn't even seen while we were busy having fun! We don't know how you did it; you were invisible, yet everywhere.
Thank you for a stress-free day and for capturing it so beautifully - we'll be able to look back on it and smile forever.
We can't thank you enough & can't wait until the next happy occasion to have you join us!
