This past weekend we had the pleasure of shooting a wedding up in Saratoga. I just love that city & realized after this trip we need to bring the family up here more. It’s not much farther north than Albany, so it’s definitely worth the drive. When we met this couple, I just knew they were going to be fun. You’ll see that it was really hard to keep smiles off the faces of these love birds. Rachel had told me her dress was going to be dramatic, but wasn’t quite sure what to expect. But when I got to see her in this gorgeous dress, that was the perfect word to describe her gown. She looked absolutely stunning in this mermaid style dress from Yvonne’s Bridal Gallery.
I just couldn’t get enough of the details in this dress & I just loved the bracelet she found to go with it. Simple, but added just the right elegance to complete the look she wanted.
Since it was fall, can’t resist a good old leave throwing shot & Jesse got a shot of the guys that I just love…
The reception was held in an old church that has been converted into a commercial space called the Universal Preservation Hall. It’s still undergoing renovations, but it’s an amazing venue for large events such as weddings. I just had to utilize the stain glass & just absolutely think Rachel looks stunning in this.
The grandness of this space was almost too much to handle. I wanted to be able to capture the size of this room in panoramic picture, but this will have to do for now. The high ceilings were just so awesome.
Love their expressions in this shot right after the ceremony!
They had a nice large wedding party & were a blast to photograph.
There was a church next door that had this gorgeous red door, so Rachel wanted to incorporate it & I’m glad we did.
We walked down the street a little to get some cute night shots of these cuties.
Just loved their first dance. They are such cuddle bugs & you can totally tell in this shot.
We had set up the photo-booth for this group & did they ever make the best of it. This was one of my favorites I think of the year!
Caught the love birds in a moment while everyone was dancing around them.
A fun shot to show the amazing design & structure of this historic building. The movement of a passing car just added a nice feeling to it that we both loved.
We wanted to thank Rachel & Justin for allowing us to work with them & capture their special day. It was so much fun & was apparent by all their friends & family who knew how to have a great time! The venue was amazing & was just gorgeous. Hope it was everything you had hoped for & more. Congratulations!

I ordered some new knitted baby caps for my shoots & Dulci got to be the first to model two of them. Think she is just so sweet! Thank you Mike & Gina for allowing me to capture some moments of your new little girl. She is absolutely gorgeous & can’t wait to see her grow & change. Good looks are definitely it in her genes. Love you guys!
