Allegra & Jason's Wedding

From the time we first met with Allegra & Jason, we knew we were going to be their photographers. With their genuine passion for one another, as well as their devotion to their family and friends, it was bound to be a beautiful day.

Allegra and Jason chose to see one another before their ceremony, and we were so glad they invited us to photograph those private moments. With the whirlwind of activity that was going to follow for the rest of the evening, you could feel their joy and intensity as they embraced in the quiet wooded area that seemed designed for this occasion.

To Allegra & Jason: Thank you both SO MUCH for choosing us for your day. We couldn't help but feel moved by the words and expressions of your family and friends who surrounded you with such total affection. It was a privilege to photograph your wedding! And thanks for the excellent meal.

Below you will find the brief teaser of a slideshow as a preview of the images to come. Simply click on the "PLAY" button to begin the slideshow.



Allegra and Jason's full gallery will be released upon their return from the honeymoon and will be found in the Client Proofs area of our main website. Until then, enjoy the show! And feel free to add your own comments to this blog. We love hearing from you, and we're sure Allegra and Jason would, too.

Michelle and Rob's Wedding

When we arrived at the Saratoga Hotel, we found Michelle, her friends and her mother opening gifts and a card from Rob. The excitement and emotion in the room was just wonderful to be a part of. There were tears of happiness and joy in Michelle's room, while the guys were enjoying their own close-knit brand of fun and humor in Rob's room.

Michelle and Rob saw one another for the first time that day during a private session that was designed to allow them to simply enjoy one another's company, to hold one another closely, and to spend some intimate time together without anything else interfering. The pictures that came from that session were very moving, and we know they'll enjoy seeing them, along with all their other wedding pictures. Here is a preview to share with all of you, just a teaser for what is to come (click image to see a larger version):


We always enjoy revisiting beautiful venues that we've shot before, and the fabulous Hall of Springs in Saratoga Springs is absolutely one of the more enjoyable for us. This venue had special meaning for Michelle and Rob because this is where they got engaged. Not only is there the grandeur of the hall itself, with its massive columns, but the catering provided by Glen Sanders Mansion along with their friendly staff is first-rate (thank you, Michelle and Rob, for the delicious meal provided.) Music entertainment by DJ Mike Garrasi of Music Man Entertainment kept their fun-loving friends on the floor. It was a great party!

Michelle and Rob's wedding gallery will be available very soon, so continue checking our main website in the Client Proofs area. Michelle and Rob, thank you for choosing us. We had an incredible time with you!

Sarah & Greg's Engagement

With our summer heat wave seeming to be behind us, we were welcomed today with a perfect day for shooting the variety of pictures that we enjoy so much. Sarah and Greg greated us with hugs, and we caught up on how their wedding plans were going. With Sarah dressed in a cute and colorful dress, and Greg in comfortable shirt and shorts, they were both ready for a completely new experience for them - modeling for their pro photographers! And they did an awesome job.

We had a great time with this warm and fun-loving couple. The time really flew by for us. We were so thankful for their trust they showed in us, and this quality is going to make hanging out with them on their wedding day that much more enjoyable.

Their online gallery will be available very soon at our main website in the Client Proofs area.

Edwina & Ryan's Engagement

Edwina is an energetic and fun-loving bride who captivated us with her sparkling personality the very first time we met her. She truly values photography, and we're so glad she found us in her search for a photographer. Ryan is a professional basketball player with a team in Italy and has this cool quiet bearing that made him a joy to shoot. They were just right together, keeping one another laughing with their friedly joking and teasing. We know our time with them on the wedding day is going to go beautifully.

We had an awesome time with Edwina & Ryan. There was a 50% chance of heavy thunderstorms, but there were no heavy clouds in sight during our session. In fact, the sun came out for near-perfect timing. We even had time to take some of the infrared photos that Edwina loves so much. We know she's going to love them and can't wait to show them the pictures.

Their complete gallery of e-session photos will be available very soon at our main website. Just go to the menu and click on "Client Proofs".
