Downtown Albany NY Fall Engagement

29 October 2015 / Engagement Sessions

I just love a Fall engagement session! We met up in downtown Albany, NY on a perfect Fall day. The foliage was at it’s peak, and the weather was chilly, but not cold. Perfect weather! This gorgeous couple was so easy to photograph. They brought their A game, and allowed me to capture the connection they share. They laughed, threw leaves at each other, and had a great time during their session. I always tell my couples to have some fun with the engagement session, and not to focus so much on how they (think) they are going to look in the photos. These two did just that!

90 State Events Wedding – Jillian and Joe

11 August 2015 / Weddings

Jillian and Joe are such an amazing couple, and their love for one another is so obvious. I met up with them out in Saratoga last summer for their engagement session (check it out here), and we definitely worked well together, which got me super excited to photograph their wedding!

Jillian has such an eye for style and beauty, that I just knew their wedding day was going to be one to remember. I don’t think I could have imagined just how glamorous she would look, though! She truly was stunning. I think Joe just about died when he saw her during their first look. You don’t want to miss these photos!

Crooked Lake House Wedding – Dianna and Keith

21 July 2015 / Weddings

I remember when I first met Dianna, at a Panera in Albany. After our meeting she said to me “Crystal, I am really impressed with you. Not just with your work, but with you as a person. I really like you”. She may not remember saying that to me lol, but it stuck in my head. She is one of the nicest people I have ever met, and she ended up booking her wedding with me right then. I am so glad she did!

When it came time for their engagement session, I finally got to meet Keith, and could totally see the connection they had. They totally killed it during their session, which can be seen here. I couldn’t wait for their wedding!

Dianna was a gorgeous bride! When she walked down the aisle, and Keith had tears in his eyes, I had to fight back tears of my own. What a beautiful ceremony! (more…)

Saratoga NY Engagement Session – Crystal Turino Photography

10 July 2015 / Engagement Sessions, Portraits

I met up with Jessica and Steve at the Saratoga Battlefield on a windy spring evening. Jessica looked stunning in a pale blue dress reminiscent of Cinderella. Her beautiful hair and make up was done by Lipstick N Lashes. Steve was looking dapper in a black suit and blue shirt. Even their dog was dressed for the occasion wearing a little bow tie! We had so much fun during our session, and the lighting from the sunset was just perfect. The love and chemistry between these two was so awesome to photograph, and I swear they are undercover models because I would go to tell them to pose in a certain way, and they would already be doing it before I opened my mouth. A photographer’s dream! I can’t wait to photograph their wedding this fall at the Glen Sanders Mansion! (more…)

Brown’s Brewery Wedding – Leslie and Tom

6 July 2015 / Weddings

Leslie and Tom are amazing. Seriously. In the amount of time that I have gotten to know them through our first meeting, our engagement session (check out that session here), and their wedding day, I have witnessed not just their love for one another, but the fact that they are truly great people.

Their friends and family gathered from New Jersey and around Binghamton, NY for their wedding day at Brown’s Brewery in Troy, NY. It was the first weekend in May, but boy was it a hot, sunny day! When I arrived at Leslie’s hotel room, she greeted me with a smile. Her twin sister was there to help her get ready. It wasn’t just Leslie’s wedding day, but it was also their birthday! Tom was getting ready at the same hotel, in a nearby room. (more…)

Newborn Photography Session- Kaiden

27 May 2015 / Portraits

Little Kaiden came to see me at the studio when he was just 10 days old. He was born a few weeks early, so he was still such a little guy. He was wide awake when they first arrived, until his mommy was finally able to get him to sleep. Once he was asleep, we were able to get such beautiful photos of him looking so peaceful, and adorable! His parents signed him up for the Grow With Me package, so I get to see this sweet little guy when he starts to sit up, and then again for his 1st birthday! Don’t worry, I’ll be sure to share a couple of those photos with all of you!

I had to fight back some serious baby fever with this little cutie!

Shaker Ridge Country Club Wedding- Meagan and Ken

26 May 2015 / Weddings

I had the privilege of photographing Meagan and Ken’s wedding day at Shaker Ridge Country Club in Latham, NY. I was super excited about this wedding, because I knew how awesome Meagan and Ken are, and I some of the bridal party members were people that I had grown up with. It was so wonderful to see so many people that I hadn’t seen in a long time, and it was even more awesome to witness Meagan and Ken become husband and wife. I remembered how photogenic the two of them are from our engagement session at the Saratoga Battlefield (found here), so I knew they would rock their bridal portraits!

When I showed up for bridal preparation photos, Meagan was calm and very excited to see Ken for their first look. She had a group of wonderful ladies helping her get ready.
