and we can’t wait for it! Apple Barn Farm in October is amazing and these two landed a great weekend. We returned one of our favorite local spots, Olana State Park to enjoy the milder break in weather & came away with some great shots. The unique invitation is undoubtedly just the beginning of the attention to detail we can expect at this event.
We have a lot more to share before October 16th to whet your appetite!
I wanted to post one of my fav pics from a session I did a couple of weeks ago for my sister’s friend. Can you believe all this black hair @ only 3 months? She’s such a cutie!
I’m super excited to post about our wedding in the woods last week. Great weather + waterfall= Amazing photos!
Congratulations to our latest newlyweds! Just a sneak peak of our beautiful couple. More to come…
So I wanted to finish up my post from our last wedding we shot in Pine Plains, NY. It was a gorgeous barn setting the country w/ a very relaxed & quiet feel. We left off @ the reception. Since it was such a warm evening, we let everyone go get a drink & just cool down a bit. Then we snagged our bride & groom away for a few moments alone as newly husband & wife. These two are so adorable together. Of course we had to take as much use of the beautiful barn that was the center of attention @ this wedding site. I just love a good barn!
Amanda’s gorgeous bouquet as well as the bridesmaids bouquets & boutonnieres were created by Melissa Popp from Hugs & Kisses.
Amanda’s dress was simple, but elegant. I just loved the sheer cap sleeves on this gown! Just gorgeous & perfect for this county style wedding
Our stunning new bride!
The Newlyweds
So as you can see from our images below, the wedding party was far from serious, which always makes for some great photos!
There was a family @ this wedding w/ six children (two sets of twins) that had the most beautiful blond hair & piercing blue eyes. These kids were so cute!
We just loved the red rockers from the image above, that Jesse thought it’d be interesting to use them for our ring shot. I love the red contrast in this photo!
The flower girls were too cute & of course what else do you do when you have a beautiful dress on, but spin around! I remember doing this as a little girl too…it was the best!
The best man gave such a heart warmer & emotional speech. And yes the mush that I am, he even got me teary eyed.
The maid of honor on the other hand, well you can see where her speech was going.
Always love a good father daughter moment. She’s the only daughter w/ two brothers, so this was extra special for them.
Want to thank Kyle & Amanda for letting us be apart of their special day. We had a really great time & felt very welcome. Congratulations!

I got a little behind, but wanted to finish the second e-shoot we had this past Sunday. They wanted something not urban, but w/ fields & flowers. So we decided to take them to Olana State Park just outside of Hudson. As much as I love shooting in Hudson, I was excited to do something a little different. The garden was full of beautiful flowers & everything was lush and green. They bought along their dog, Gisepi who was a rescue dog they got about year & a half ago. He has some issues w/ strangers & other dogs, but I think we won him over. I’m happy they decided to bring him along & include him in some of their shots.
Was diggin the tatoos & blue shoes
The sky got really dark & it actually started to rain a bit. So we took cover in the woods, but it quickly passed over so we could continue on w/ the shoot!
We came across some bushes of wild rasperberries so we took advantage of them & ate a few. Raspberries happen to be my absolute favorite berry! I was super excited about the find!!
I just love this persian style home! It’s so unique & very distinquished. I always look for it when I’m coming across the Catskill Bridge when we head home.
Thank you to Craig & Kristin for spending sometime w/ us & letting us get to know Gisepi too. We had a great time & look forward to your wedding in September!
Just a reminder that our business loves a good referral. So to thank our wonderful clients for sending us more business, we will offer them a portrait session on us! Yes, if you sent someone our way & they book a session w/ us, we will waive your $150 session fee as a thank you!! Happy Summer from Turnquist Photography!
Ah yes, our Sunday afternoon engagement session w/ Rich & Gina. Where do I begin…but to say OMG, was it a hot & steamy session w/ these two lovebirds!! Reminds me why I love this business so much in the first place…I’m a hopeless romantic @ heart. Love is a wonderful thing when you have someone to share it with & boy o boy, did these two have love for one another! Jesse & I had so much fun w/ this couple & makes us anticipate what more is to come when the big day comes in October. We hit the town of Hudson again because they decided to choose a location near their wedding site which is @ Apple Barn Farm in Livingston,NY. I was so excited about it since I just love this town. There are so many great places here that provide such amazing backdrops!
Can you tell what a character Rich is? He was so fun to photograph & did a great job getting the best laughs out of Gina!
This was the perspective from Jesse in this shot & mine is below. Love having two photogs for our shoots!
Gina had such a gorgeous smile!
So about half way thru they really got into it & let loose. I actually thought @ some points they forgot we were there. That made me so happy because I knew @ the moment, they trusted us!
THE RING SHOT! I absolutely love how this turned out & super excited about it!!
Since these two are both musicians, we decided to make our last stop @ Club Helsinki. I think they enjoyed it, alot!!
Thanks so much for spending a couple of hours w/ us & getting to finally meet you in person. We had a blast & it was obvious you did too! We can wait for your wedding in October!
I thought I’d post this image I found from M. David Media today. With so many couples opting for cupcakes instead of a traditional wedding cake, I thought this was a really creative & fun way to display them rather than the usual cake tier. Have a wonderful Tuesday!
This was a shot from our second e-shoot yesterday that I just LOVE! Stay tune for more to come…
