Franklin Terrace Wedding – Andrea and Brett

10 December 2014 / Weddings

I met up with Andrea and Brett at the beautiful Yaddo Gardens for their engagement session, and we had a wonderful time together. The connection between the two of them was evident. I knew we were going to have a great time on their wedding day. I went to high school with many of their guests, so it was pretty neat to see so many familiar faces.

When I arrived at the Franklin Terrace, Andrea was there getting ready with her ladies. She was so calm, and such a sweetheart; helping her bridesmaids with their hair, and offering me a coffee. You could tell how happy she was to be marrying Brett that day. Her dress was amazing, her shoes were killer, her flowers were beautiful, and her hair and make up came out amazing.

Indian Ladder Farms Engagement – Shannon and Ian

24 November 2014 / Engagement Sessions, Portraits

Shannon and Ian wanted their engagement session to take place in the fall, and we were trying to think of the best location to use. They asked if we could go to Indian Ladder Farms in Altamont, and I was more than happy to use such a beautiful location! When you live in upstate New York, going to an apple orchard in the fall is usually a tradition. If you are looking for a nice orchard to go to, check this place out!

These two were super awesome to work with, and the chemistry between them was so fun to capture! Let’s start off with one of my favorites from the session:

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!

Yaddo Gardens Engagement Session – Jillian and Joe

28 August 2014 / Engagement Sessions, Portraits

I met Jillian and Joe at a Panera Bread last winter. Besides being a seriously good looking couple, they were super nice, and their love for one another was evident. I knew we were going to work together amazingly!

We met up at Yaddo Gardens in Saratoga Springs, NY on a warm summer evening. Jillian showed up looking fantastic (love her dress!), and Joe showed up ready to make Jillian happy and take some beautiful photos together 🙂

These two made my job pretty darn easy…. I can’t wait to photograph their wedding next May at 90 State Events!

Saratoga Battlefield Engagement – Dianna and Keith

7 August 2014 / Engagement Sessions

When I first met up with Dianna at Panera Bread in Albany, I just loved her energy. I don’t think she stopped smiling the entire time we chatted about her wedding day. Even though I hadn’t met him yet, it was clear that she was certainly head over heels for Keith. As we were wrapping up our meeting, Dianna let me know that not only was she very impressed with my work, but she was also impressed with me…kinda the best compliment you can give a photographer during a wedding consultation. I knew the two of us were going to get along fantastically!

We met up on a warm evening in June at the Saratoga Battlefield in Saratoga Springs, NY. The wind was a bit pesky, but we just worked with it; making sure Dianna’s hair was facing the right direction, and out of Keith’s eyes. I swear these two were like professional models in disguise or something, because they were amazing to photograph. As soon as I posed them, they would just fall into a natural laugh, or look at each other in the cutest way. Seriously adorable!

Meagan and Ken’s Engagement at the Saratoga Battlefield

3 June 2014 / Engagement Sessions, Portraits

I actually met Ken back in elementary school. I remember he was in my 4th grade class with Mrs. Reardon. We shared the same friends, and hung out as kids, but I hadn’t seen him in years. When his fiance Meagan contacted me to enter an engagement session contest I was having, I was so happy to see how things had turned out for him. It is evident that they are both head over heels for each other. When they asked me to be their wedding photographer, I was stoked.

We met up at the Saratoga Battlefield for their engagement session. The weather had been iffy, and we already had to reschedule once, so we were pleasantly surprised when we were blessed with a beautiful day. We had such a great time; laughing the whole time. It was easy for me to capture the love between them along with genuine emotions from both of them. The sun set was gorgeous that day, and we were blessed with amazing light. We had such an amazing session, and I can not wait to photograph their big day!
