Engaged: Tim&Ashton

These two squeezed in a last minute session a week before their wedding- it was short and sweet. These darlings were filled with love and laughter. Had such a lovely time with them. Enjoy the love!

Wedding: Kyle&Juliann

This wedding was a beautiful, fun and emotional celebration, that was shared with many friends and family. Juliann and her Mother put many hours into planning and styling this gorgeous wedding. They carefully chose vendors that would help make their day amazing, the hair and makeup, the florist, the food, the DJs, everyone did a superb job (list at the end of the blog!) Juliann and Kyle had a wonderful and quite good looking bridal party, that helped and supported the couple throughout the day and they definitely left their hearts on the dance floor. Kyle is such a sweetheart and loves to spoil his beautiful bride, so Juliann started off her morning with a sweet gift, including a hand written love note. And Juliann definitely didn't slack in the gift giving department, Kyle got a wicked sharp watch. Their wedding was the perfect mixture of traditional and non-traditional. Classic ceremony in a beautiful Catholic Church in downtown Albany and then a rustic and relaxed reception on the countryside. I have been working with these two for over a year now andfrom beginning to end, they have been kind and amazing clients. It was such an honor to work with such loving clients and to get to know their friends and families throughout their wonderful wedding day. Thank you Kyle and Jules for allowing us to share in the love.

Wedding: Ben&Lianna Part 2

Part 1 and Part 2 are slightly uneven, oh well, you will enjoy the love just the same. Below you will have the honor of re-living their beautiful ceremony, the breath taking scenery and wild reception. So here's a very fun detail- Lianna's Family is good friends with Ben's Family, of Ben and Jerry's Ice Cream, and Ben actually the one that married Ben and Lianna. Then at the reception, Ben and Jerry surprised guests with a very nontraditional wedding cake, a volcanic chocolate eruption (more got on Ben than on the ice cream!) You will see the pure joy and love surrounding Ben and Lianna and their wonderful wedding in Freedom, New Hampshire. Enjoy and share the love!

Wedding: Ben&Lianna Part 1

Welcome to a weekend celebration of love and joy. This gorgeous wedding took place at Camp Cody in Freedom, New Hampshire. Ben and Lianna knew what they wanted in a wedding and what better way to celebrate it, than to be surrounded by close friends and family. Every bit of this wedding was repeatedly described by guests as "so Ben and Lianna."  From a relaxing morning of lawn games and canoeing, to a heartfelt and unique ceremony, and to finish off the evening with wicked music and crazy dessert surprises. These two have so much love for each other and enjoyed absolutely every minute of their day. I don't think that Lianna stopped giggling for more than 5 minutes and Ben was so sweet, he just kept giving Lianna hugs and kisses. I love personal touches, amazing locations and a chill couple. Ben and Lianna are two brilliant and kind people, so deserving of all the love and happiness in the world. Thank you for letting us share in all the love and your gorgeous day.

Keep an eye out for Part 2!

First look = wicked sweet love.

Wedding: Sam & John

This lovely wedding took place on the perfect fall day at the Olde Tater Barn and was such a joy to be apart of. Sam and John are two of the sweetest souls you will ever meet, their love for each other is so apparent. Both were surrounded by so much love of family and friends, everyone was excited to share in their wonderful day. As you will see, these two dears are a gorgeous couple and have a rustic and elegant style about them. Their vivacious bridal party were just one of the many highlights of this wedding- the decor, location, bouquets, food, DJ... such a wonderful day! And not to mention the wicked truck that Sam's Dad towed all the way from New Jersey! I am just so thankful to be apart of all the love and beauty from this day. Here are a few to hold you over:)

Portraits: Cody&Seth

Oh my, oh my, get ready for some vintage love. These two have been married for 3 years and together for 10. Ladies, talk about a romantic planner- Seth contacted me, so he could surprise his beautiful wife, for her birthday, with a vintage portrait session. They also brought along their adorable daughter, Luna, who is such a character and kept us all smiling! Wait until you see how cute this little family is! When you are used to being behind the camera, it is a bit more difficult to be in front of the camera- but for Cody and Seth it was natural, romantic and just so sweet. Enjoy the love!

Wedding: Sam&Holland

This lovely wedding took place on a drizzly day in Alabama and the weather didn't stop us from enjoying the wedding! Holland loves rain and so it is only appropriate that it rained throughout most of the day. This particular wedding was also fun because Holland has been in Canada, Dominican Republic and North Carolina as a bridesmaid within their group of friends, so this time it was Holland's turn:) Being apart of 4 weddings with a lot of the same friends and bridal party members has been such a joyous experience. This day was filled with so much love, happiness, tender moments and laughter. Sam and Holland are two sweet souls that just love life and they soaked up every moment of their day. Thank you my dears for allowing me to be apart of such a beautiful day! I also had the privilege of having Todd Balsley work with me- thank you for being an inspiration, sharing trade secrets and just plain fun.

Elopement Portraits: Jake&Taylor

These two dears were on the blog back in March, when Jake proposed up in Burlington, Vermont. Our original plan was to meet up again in Tennessee for the wedding, but these two decided to be adventurous and elope! Sadly, I was not available to document their beautiful and intimate exchanging of vows, so we decided to wait until the end of the summer to do our version of formal portraits.  Thanks guys for hiking and taking a mini road trip to make these lovely portraits possible:) Enjoy and share the love.

Wedding: Ethan&Amber

Enjoy this sweet and intimate backyard wedding! These two were wonderful to photograph and had such a fun bridal party! Thank you for letting me share in the love, tears and laughs.

Wedding: Meghan&Josh

This gorgeous wedding took place at Dunham's Bay Resort in Lake George, New York. Meghan and Josh have such a classic style and are so relaxed, that I have to say is a wonderful combo for photos. They had quite a vivacious bridal party, that kept me on my toes and laughing. These two have been in love since high school, through thick and thin, and cannot live without the other. Congrats you two and welcome to the family Meghan!

Enjoy the love!
