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…)

Albany NY Engagement Session- Leslie and Tom

16 March 2015 / Engagement Sessions, Portraits

I knew when I met up with Leslie and Tom that we would work well together! They seemed like such a great couple, and I was looking forward to photographing them. We had scheduled our engagement session for the end of February. At the time, we had no idea how cold of a Winter we were about to get. On the day of our session, it was miraculously above 20 degrees, and sunny. It felt like a heat wave compared to what we had been experiencing. These two braved that 20 degree weather, and walked around Albany NY with me. Good thing, because we had such beautiful light!

Upstate NY Fall Engagement- Shelby and Paul

11 December 2014 / Engagement Sessions, Portraits

Shelby told me about the location that she wanted to use for her engagement session, saying that it was private property with the most amazing view. As I pulled up the long driveway, I immediately fell in love with the location. Words can’t describe how beautiful it is. Good thing photos can 😉

Saratoga Engagement Session- Crystal and Kevin

15 October 2014 / Engagement Sessions, Portraits

I met up with Crystal over the Summer, when she booked her wedding with me. We went over details, talked about her and Kevin, and the children they share. It was at this time that I learned that they have a daughter that is the same age as my daughter, has the same first name, same middle name, and is also the middle child. Talk about coincidence!

The three of us met up on a late Summer evening for their engagement session out at the Saratoga Battlefield. It was a perfect night, not too chilly, and not too warm either. It happened to be a full moon, and it was beautiful the way it sparkled in the sky.

We definitely had some fun… I don’t know how to do things any other way 🙂

Schenectady NY Engagement Session | Nicole and Tom

10 September 2014 / Engagement Sessions, Portraits

This lovely couple were in a wedding that I photographed last year at the Franklin Plaza, found here: Courtney and John’s Wedding so I was super excited when they asked me to photograph their wedding at the Glen Sanders Mansion!

We met up for their engagement session at a small park in Niskayuna, NY that the two of them go to every now and then for a stroll. They arrived looking quite dapper, so I jumped at the chance to get some dramatic shots. Just look at them! Can I add that I love that Tom’s shirt and tie match my branding colors 🙂

Yaddo Gardens Engagement | Andrea and Brett

5 September 2014 / Engagement Sessions, Portraits

This beautiful couple met with me at Yaddo Gardens in Saratoga NY for their engagement session. It was a warm Summer evening, and we were blessed with some gorgeous golden lighting. They both showed up looking great, and we jumped right into it with some shots by the water. I just love how the sunlight wrapped around them in these shots!

Jenn and Bill’s Engagement Session at Thacher Park

22 November 2013 / Engagement Sessions

I met up with Jenn and Bill at Thacher Park near Albany, NY this fall. The leaves were at their peek, and bright in color. We wandered around the beautiful park (thacher park is beyond gorgeous!), getting some great shots along the way. It was a chilly day, and the two of them kept warm with their flannel blanket.
