Trilby and Clark were married at the beautiful Yaddo Gardens in Saratoga NY on a beautiful September day. I arrived at her hotel to find Trilby and her ladies having a great time getting ready. I just love capturing bridal preparation photos! I love all of the little details that go into a wedding. The shoes, the jewelry, the flowers, and of course the dress!

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…)
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…)

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 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!
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!
