Jessica and Steve got married at the beautiful Glen Sanders Mansion on a gorgeous September day. After the killer engagement session we did together (see that session here), I could not wait to see what their wedding day would be like! Jessica’s attention to detail is amazing, so I was really looking forward to seeing her dress, flowers, decor, etc. I knew that these two made a perfect couple, and that the photos we captured were going to be amazing, but wow is all I can say.
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!
I had met up with Shannon and Ian last fall for their engagement session at Indian Ladder Farms (check that session out here). We had such a blast together, which really got me excited to work with them on their wedding day!
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…)
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…)
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.
I met up with this adorable couple in downtown Albany, NY for their engagement session. We spent some time before hand talking about outfit choices, and deciding upon the perfect location for the two of them. Downtown Albany is absolutely beautiful! The architecture is pretty amazing, and we knew that was the perfect spot for them. We had a wonderful time, and got some great photos to document this important time in their lives!
This bridge, that beautiful light, and this couple. Wow!

When I met Jill for the first time, I knew she was someone that I would love to work with. She was so sweet, and the way she talked about Mark made her feelings for him very clear. I was thrilled when they asked me to photograph their wedding day! We met up at Thacher Park for their engagement session, and we had a wonderful time. See their engagement session here.
On their wedding day, I arrived to photograph Jill and her ladies getting ready. These photos are always so much fun to photograph. I love capturing all of the little details that go into preparing to walk down the aisle!

I already knew from working with Jenn, and Bill for their engagement session, that this couple was super fun, and very photogenic. See their engagement at Thacher Park session here. We headed out to Cooperstown, NY to the Lake House Lodge for their wedding. We started the day off with a beautiful first look. I have probably said it many times before, but I just love first looks! You get some pretty awesome, emotional photos of the bride, and groom seeing each other for the first time, AND they allow so much more flexibility in the photography timeline. Just look at Bill’s expression as he sees Jenn for the first time:
And then we spent a little bit of time doing portraits of the bride, and groom. I always love a good balcony for dramatic photos!
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 😉
