Weddings and Engagements. The most exciting time of your life (well except for when the kids start coming) — full of promise, the unknown, the planning!, and happiness.

I love  textures. The physical texture of the lace on a wedding gown. The buttery smoothness of fresh roses. The fresh grass. The crunchiness of crudities. The texture of a Dad’s face when he sees his daughter in her wedding dress.  Powerful powerful stuff.

These are a few of my favorites from the past year. Some have been posted on the event blog, many have not. Some I have a deep attachment to because of the moment caught, some for the beauty in the object.

They all represent love & affection; planning, craftsmanship and artistry.

The colors were so beautiful this year. Lots of bright bold purples, reds, pinks. The gowns were gorgeous! and seemed to ‘fit’ each bride to her personality.

The receptions great fun — without fail. The PhotoBooth was a MAJOR hit with everyone who booked it, and for some reason the parents seemed to get a real charge–re-living their youth? Pete and I always had a ‘discussion’ about trading spaces cause it’s just way too much fun to working the booth.

and the food? YES! please. Beautiful plated meals, buffets, cakes.

Thank yous.

To all the couples that entrusted us to their day. It’s been such a pleasure getting to know you — before and after — your day. You all make this the best ‘job’ anyone could hope for.

A shout out to local venues and coordinators: Janet at the Mansion at Bald Hill  Lara at the Woodstock Inn, Katie at the Golden Lamb. 3 local professionals that have been an incredible pleasure to work with. They treat you like family.

and finally to Pete and Norm. You guys are the best to work with. Covering my back when I get into that wedding ‘fog’; we’ve work together for so long you already know what I’m gonna do before I know it myself. And making sure that our clients have everything they need before they need it.

Thank you!

Each album is designed around the events of the day; each image deliberately placed to maximize the story telling. Your album will become an instant heirloom.

Your Images are true photographs mounted on thick, archival board. Leather and faux covers in all colors of the rainbow, photocovers, metallics, are choices you can make to individualize your book.

Your album will be pre-designed to help you with your image decisions, but you are able to substitute whatever you like–it’s your book and your day!

Two Tones:  Sea and Sand

Beautiful, solid pages. This one is 26 pages, or 13 spreads.

Biker Chic is brown flecked with black. VERY COOL!!

Black is always so elegant, and stands the test of timelessness.

They had a most moving ceremony at the gorgeous Woodstock Congregational Church -filled with music with fellow students from the Eastman school of music, and Izzie’s sister singing a beautiful hymn to her sister. Chilling in it’s delivery.

So interesting to meet Izzie’s family from England and to meet Thatcher’s folks who hosted a wonderful reception in their spacious yard in Woodstock. And thank goodness Plan B included a tent because it was HOT and HUMID all day with a big downpour just as Izzie and Thatcher cut into the beautiful basket weave cake.

As Thatcher’s Dad moving toast concluded:

BE WELL. DO GOOD WORK AND KEEP IN TOUCH
