What a fun wedding! Alicia and Jeremy know how to enjoy themselves and along with their bridal party, they celebrated with the kind of enthusiasm that’s contagious! They managed to dodge the heat and the rain for a beautiful outdoor ceremony at the Vista Van Patten in Clifton Park, followed by a rockin’ party with DJ Mike Garrassi. Always great to see Mike. Check out these images, and I dare you to try to keep a straight face – you just can’t help but smile!

Dad helps out.

Alicia is READY!

Slick guys:

Sweet:


So fun!

Laughter and tears…


Psyched! Congrats guys!



Wow, how time flies! Reese turned one already?? I remember shooting her big sister’s first session and that was 2 years ago! I feel privelaged to have been a part of both of these girls’ first year. Thanks, Gina & Lee – and congrats on your lovely family.





A look back at 3, and 9 months…
Happy Birthday Reese!
I’m doing a happy dance because I’m almost caught up with the blog. Here’s the last of the July weddings – a great month of celebrations! Lauren & Adam married at St. Clement’s in Saratoga and partied like rock stars at the gorgeous Hall of Springs with help from their awesome bridal party!

Mom was trying to hold it together while helping Lauren with her jewelry. Love the happy tears!

Proud papa:
Always some of my favs – the bride workin’ it!


Hot ladies – super fun!
How cute are these guys:

Love their bridal party – what characters:







Like I said, awesome bridal party:



I love Adam’s expression in this one:


Entering like rock stars:
Adam and Lauren rocked the first dance in style:

Mom gives thumbs up during the dad dance – cute!


Adam surprised Lauren with a song and great performance of “How Sweet It Is” - nicely done!

And another successful guest book, which you can see here.
When I arrived to see little Jacob, he had just woken from his nap and he was not happy. (You know how men need their sleep.) So we let him sink back into a nice little power nap, and when he awoke again, he was ready to go! Such great expressions he has! I look forward to seeing him throughout his first year.


He stole mom’s heart all over again with this one – he dreamed a little, happy dream. So cute!

Handsome gent:

He’s bored with me already… “Yeah, I know I’m adorable,” he says.


I was excited to meet little Kendall, after having photographed her mom & dad’s wedding almost 2 years ago. She’s all smiles, so cute - you just wanna sqeeze her!

Tiny toes…

Happy girl!


Holy cow – how cute is she…
Congrats Jim & Mary – she’s adorable.
Another great July wedding with Karey & Brian who married at the Blessed Sacrament Church in Albany and partied at the State Room, across from the Capital Building, where we stopped for some bangin’ shots with their awesome bridal party. The light was juuuust right, and we enjoyed exploiting it with one of our favorite videographers, Al Woodard. The party rocked with DJ Paul Malo.



Love Karey’s flowers, from Ambiance.
Love this shot – so cute!

Handsome gents:



Yep, it’s on there!

Good-looking couple:

Sweet light… ahhhh

Classic!
Love, love, love the city shot!



Karey surprised Brian with a theme garter – the Eagles!

They represented their affinity for the Eagles during their engagement shoot, too!
The college gang:
Yes, it was another toasty day when Jaimee & Jon married at the gorgeous Hall of Springs in Saratoga. And it even drizzled a little, but cleared right up when Jaimee came out to met Jon for photos prior to their ceremony. They planned around the Bon Jovi concert, taking place at SPAC, and it worked out perfectly. A touching ceremony was followed by a rockin’ party, hosted by DJ Paul Malo. But first, both bride and groom prepped at the Gideon Putnum - how convenient.



Jaimee working it!


The ‘first glance’ – love when they get some private time together!
Stunning couple:
Rock on Bon Jovi!
So cute!





They have such great expressions!

Love the shoes!!!

Very classy first dance:
Touching father/daughter dance…
And then they cut loose:
Cute cake topper!
Whew – another hot one – a wedding and the day! Chris & Andrea married at St. Pius Church in Loudonville and partied at Shaker Ridge Country Club on a bright, sunny July day, with City Rythm Band cranking the tunes.

Ah, what we girls have to endure…
Seeing a lot of pink this year and loving it – these girls wear it well!






Love this church!




Fun bridal party:




Cool cake topper! Sweet accents…


All the single ladies… or those who once were, that is.

Fallon was my favorite kind of bride – one whose enthusiasm was contagious! Fallon & JJ married at Christ the King church and celebrated with a rip-roaring, tear-it-up-and-go-crazy kind of party at the Albany Country Club with musial host Vinny Liotta at Cool Cat Entertainment. Her bridal party rocked! And the room looked fabulous with some brillant decor with Flowers by Pesha and clever touches by Fallon, herself. Very unique.


The big reveal…
Working it like a rock star:
Gorgeous girls:

Handsome guys:
Love the feathers!


Love this church!
Awesome bridal party – they made it soooo easy!!!
How about these two lookers:




Awesome – Flowers by Pesha, and Fallon’s creativity…
Yes, that’s the dance floor – PACKED!

They love their Coors lite – a champagne & Coors toast. “Raise your hand if you would like a Coors…”
Past bride, current bride, and bride-to-be. Can’t pick a favorite!
Like I said, fun crowd!
Mr & Mrs!
And another successful, well- loved guest book!
Another adorable ball of energy – 11-month old Leah kept me on my toes and on the move. Good thing I could keep up because she gave me lots of great photo ops!
