An intimate wedding
Shooting my first wedding was an exhilarating experience that brought both excitement and a sense of responsibility. As I captured the intimate moments—the couple exchanging vows, the unique hand fasting ceremony, the reactions of family and friends, and the overall atmosphere of joy—I realized the significance of preserving these memories for years to come. Each click of the camera felt like a chance to tell their unique love story, and I was honored to play a part in such a meaningful day.
This couple incorporated an Irish traditional hand fastening ceremony which uniquely intertwined the couple's hands with a beautiful knotted rope, symbolizing their deep commitment and unity in a visually captivating and profoundly meaningful ritual that celebrates their love and connection.
Stunning simplicity
The bride's dress and bouquet were beautiful in their simplicity. Her daughters gave her flowers as she walked to her fiancé. It was sweet and very touching.

Who doesn’t love a dress you can twirl in?!
The bride and her daughter had a wonderful time twirling together.. The vibrant blue dress complimented the fall colors beautifully, creating a picturesque scene that added to the magic of the day.
Photos with the brides daughters was on the top of her priority list. Consulting with the bride prior to the wedding ensured we captured the moments most important to her and her fiancé.
Two year olds don't always follow the schedule of events but we were able to capture a few pictures of this cutie in her fancy dress.

This gorgeous landscape was right in the newlyweds backyard! The Capital District in NY has some pretty amazing scenery just ready to be captured in moments like this.
It was an honor to spend the evening with this loving family in their beautiful backyard. I will always remember this experience and will take the lessons I've learned from it with me as I continue to expand this photography business.
