Wing's Castle Engagement | Kim and Rick

Kim and Rick are so sweet to each other, This soft spoken and chivalrous man and this powerful assertive woman are nothing but kind to each other, and they can't help but smile at each other and with each other. I could barely hear their conversations as I guided them into positions and encouraging them to continue to talk to each other, but I could tell it was just full of love, or at least full of silly mouth noises. Wings Castle was the perfect location for their medieval looks, it was as if it was meant just for them.

LIC Landing + Astoria Park Engagement | Anna and Kirstie

Anna and Kirstie are private people, which for more intimate photos can be a small challenge, but once Anna was giving a million kisses and warming Kirstie up, it was game time and love just shown through. We took a couple of photos within the apartment that they are leaving for Philadelphia with their dog and cat. Excuse the excessive animal photos. We moved through Astoria Park and eventually ended up at LIC Landing for a beautiful skyline. Smart, easy going, and dedicated, they would go the extra mile for the other in a heartbeat.

Troy NY | Karla and Brian's Engagement

Karla and Brian have this look they give each other as if they fall in love with each other over and over again. Both teachers of movement, one dance, the other track, one about elegance and finese, the other about strength and precision. They have this energy about them the entire session that I just fell in love with as they easily fell into one another and just laughed, and continued to laugh and smile. It was a good day. I can't wait until Novemeber! Come sooner pleaseee!

Albany Country Club | Tina + Tyler's Wedding

I don't think there could've been any better way to describe Tina and Tyler's Love for each-other except through their blizzard message: "If kisses were snowflakes, I'd send you a blizzard". I can surely confirm, that it definitely snowed. Despite everyone's best efforts, it wasn't going according to plan, but it didn't diminish the importance, and the memories Tina got to share with her little girl. Sophia is probably THE most important thing to Tina and Tyler, and being able to share their day with their little girl, was something that they would never change for the world. Who cares about traditional paths, when your little girl gets to be just as excited about your day as you are.

Schenectady City Hall Elopement | Sarah + Russell's Elopement

Sarah and Russell originally were both grew up here on the east coast, but their studies and careers took them both to the west coast. Over the course of time, they met on the west coast and moved back together to the east coast where I was honored to do their elopement in Schenectady City Hall. It was a rainy day, but it was a perfect day. I was even honored as being a witness! The amount of feels that I got probably couldn't be quantified enough by words. Just take a gander!

It was a beautifully foggy morning. I've been WAITING to do a Foggy Photoshoot FOREVER and this was the perfect morning.

Birch Hill Castleton-On-Hudson | Mike and Adrian's Wedding

It was a good day for a Wedding. They started the day, getting ready with each other, slowly putting together the details of their day attire on and getting ready for portraits. They were getting married in STYLE. We walked around right around the State Capital and Plaza to create gorgeous photos of them in their massively stylish outfit. When it was time to get to the venue, everything was falling into place. We also were doing some Shenanigans with the Wedding Party before the Ceremony... You'll just have to scroll to see the ridiculousness!

Mohawk River Country Club Wedding | Angela + Steve

The day started off sunny, and full of activities, finishing out last minute changes and ironing out the details. It was quite the adventure, an adventure that Angela and Steve will talk about for years to come. Between setting the table charts, hair and make up, writing up the final words to the vows, and laughing in excitement and nervousness, It was perfect for Angela and Steve. They were so into each other, and so made for each other, I couldn't stop thinking how this sweet and wonderful woman, was marrying this chivalrous and respectable man. It was a perfect day.

Katie + Cam's Wedding

The days leading up to their wedding were filled with excitement, with family flying in, and making details and going over the logistics and it was finally here! Katie and Cam were getting married and I NEED to show you their day because its a story of two people who were destined to be together, not because it was uncontrolled, but by choice and through love. They could not have been more made for each other, and I am always so grateful to find clients who always love spending time together.

Katie + Cameron's Engagement in Troy NY

At first I felt a little bit reserved because they wanted to do part of their Engagement Session at the Oakwood Cemetery but when we got started, the light was beautiful and everything was so amazing. They had their first Date at the Oakwood Cemetery, well their first OFFICIAL date. ;-) We then traveled to Troy NY to get some shots right in the downtown district. It was laughs and giggles all day, I couldn't ask for a happier couple!
