Hiland Golf Course Wedding

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!!

Jen & Dan

Jen and Dan are married! What a great day we had - back at St. John the Evangelist in Schenectady, a GORGEOUS church that we LOVE photographing in and followed up with another amazing reception at Saratoga National. Some couples come to me with lists of formal photos that they want, some come to me with lists of special moments they HAVE to have or certain groups they want photographed together at the reception. Not Jen and Dan - their big request - we need a picture of our dog in a tux!! And then it turned into, "let's play frisbee with him," and then "let's get a shot of him looking out the window of the house at Dan on his way to the church." Now that's my kind of couple!! And that's how your wedding SHOULD be!! Low stress and FUN!!! Jen and Dan had a great day, and I know it because I never once had to ask them to smile or act happy for the camera. They were just plain happy to be there, happy to be married, and happy to party... and I was happy to help! The staff at Saratoga National once again outdid themselves, bending over backwards to make sure everything was just perfect and that everyone was well taken care of. This was a particularly poignant wedding for me, since I was there to photograph Jen's sister just one year ago. Seeing her family again and being in their house to share in the wedding day excitement brought back all sorts of great memories from last year. If only every couple I photographed was someone I knew - even if that means simply shooting an engagement session before hand with the bride and groom, or meeting for a glass of wine - they're comfortable, making the day a stress free event for everyone.

Marriage is a wonderful wonderful thing!

Jen & Nick

Jen and Nick were married on the sunniest, windiest day in May! I just adore photographing here at St. John the Evangelist in Schenectady. It is an absolutely BEAUTIFUL church! I should have given you two a discount for getting married in such a great church. I've known Jen and Nick for about a year now, having photographed their engagement session last summer, it was so nice to be there for their wedding. Jen, you looked GORGEOUS! Nick, you looked okay too, for a guy... Actually, the look on Nick's face was priceless when he saw his new bride walking down the aisle. He did sort of this coy, I'm looking at you, not looking at you, sort of thing and his best man just laughed at him. Loved it! Grooms take note - this is what we're looking for out of you!! Photographing over at Union College was a blast, I'm so glad we went for it - though we may have lost a few bridal party members (blown away in the gale force winds) - it was well worth it! The reception at Mallozzi's was well orchestrated as always, and it was my first time working with Mike from Music Man Entertainment. Mike did a great mash-up sort of thing for Jen and her father during their father-daughter dance that was worthy of mention (and several laughs!) It was great working with Mike, he is very laid back and extremely easy to work with. Hopefully the first of many weddings together in the future. Thank you so much for inviting me to help with your wedding Jen & Nick! It was a blast and I hope you enjoy the photos as much as I enjoyed making them! CONGRATULATIONS!!
