Sarah and Travis’ Wedding Teaser | Williamstown, MA Wedding Photography

Scott — Mon, 30 Aug 2010 04:51:48 +0000

It’s just after midnight, which is remarkably early for me to be blogging. 2 or 3 am is getting normal these days during the peak of wedding season! But tonight, I’ll at least be getting a little more sleep that normal, before I get up tomorrow and push on through editing this AMAZING wedding from this weekend.

Sarah and Travis were married at the Thompson Memorial Chapel on the campus of Williams College in Williamstown, MA. It was a gorgeous wedding and was some of the most fun we’ve had all year. You’ll hear all about it in the preview posts headed your way soon, but for now, we wanted to give you and the couple a little teaser pic. We showed off some of their amazing images at the wedding reception, but we wanted to put one up that their guests didn’t have the opportunity to see before.

These two were cool enough to let us pull them out for 10 minutes near the end of their reception for one of our “After Dark Sessions” which we love to do to get some non-traditional, cool shots of the couple. This was one of those images in front of their reception site, the WIlliams Inn. They will be off to tropical climes for their honeymoon in the morning, but hopefully they get to see this wicked shot (a term that Floridians like us are slowly picking up from the MA crowd) before they get on their plane for their honeymoon. We promise lots more when you guys get back!

Happy Anniversary Polly and Thomas! | Manchester, VT Wedding Photography

Scott — Sun, 29 Aug 2010 20:25:45 +0000

We want to wish Polly and Thomas a very happy first anniversary today. One year ago, we shot their incredible wedding in Dorset, Vermont, just outside of Manchester. It was a beautiful elegant affair in Thomas’ parents back yard, which turned out to be the perfect setting with the beautiful Green Mountains in the background. This wedding was so amazing that it is now featured as our biggest, most amazing sample album in our studio, so come by and see if if you really want to experience this wedding! Anyway, we hope you two are having the most amazing day and celebrating together, and we wanted to show off an image to everyone that we didn’t get to feature on the blog last year that we absolutely love. Stay tuned for more from our latest wedding soon!

Hilary and Jarred are Married! | Springfield, MA Wedding Photography

Scott — Fri, 27 Aug 2010 02:38:06 +0000

We’ve had Hilary and Jarred’s wedding photos ready for a while now, and we’re excited to be finally able to share them with you now that the happy couple can see them too! Hilary and Jarred met with us last fall, and they were one of the first couples to take the chance on us since we moved our business from Florida up to Albany, NY. Their wedding was a beautiful affair in Springfield, MA at the Barney Carriage House. It’s a beautiful old estate in the middle of Forest Park, which gave us some beautiful scenery for the photos. It was a really intimate affair with all their close family and friends.

The ceremony took place under the gazebo on the property, and we stole the couple away afterwards for some fun pictures around the park. Afterwards, DJ Tony V kept the dance floor moving all night long, while people made numerous trips to the awesome candy and chocolate bar that Hilary and Jarred had – the chocolate coconut covered marshmallows were our personal favorite! These two were awesome for letting us pull them out for 10 minutes during our reception for an After Dark Session where we got to take some really cool nighttime photos of them. It was such a great wedding, and we’re so excited to be showing these to you.

Check out this slideshow of our favorites from their wedding, and check for the link afterwards to see the full gallery of images! Don’t forget to leave the happy couple some comment love below the slideshow!

Here it is, the last engagement session for our 2010 couples. The next engagement session you see here will start off the 2011 wedding season! We had a great time during this session up on the shores of Lake George, NY. It proved to be an amazing backdrop with the Adirondack Mountains rising at the other side of the lake. It was a beautiful night with an amazing couple, and we are really excited to share this session with you. We’re really excited for their wedding this fall in Saratoga Springs, NY, and we already know that we will get some amazing photos with these two.

Jen and Steve are Engaged! | Boston, MA Engagement Session

Scott — Sat, 21 Aug 2010 20:17:32 +0000

Despite being photographers based out of Albany, NY, we love to travel. We actually shoot as many weddings and engagements in New England as we do in New York, and we really love that part of the country. For those of you who follow this blog, you’ll see a lot of posts coming out of Massachusetts. This one is going to be no different, as Steve and Jen met up with us in between weddings in the great city of Boston for their engagement session. Every time we make it to Boston, we fall in love with the city all over again. It’s pretty easy for us to photograph love in a city that brings out the same in us, so we were really pleased to be able to shoot there. This session started off in Beacon Hill and we finished up by the harbor in Christopher Columbus Park just before the rain moved in. We had a great time and can’t wait for their beautiful Stowe, VT wedding this fall. Check out their slideshow and follow the link afterwards to see all the images!

Angela and Richard’s Engagement Preview 2 | Albany, NY Wedding Photography

Scott — Tue, 17 Aug 2010 21:00:28 +0000

Welcome back for part 2 of Angela and Richard’s engagement session preview. Here is the second half of our favorite shots from their Lake George, NY engagement session. Anyone who has ever been to Lake George in the summer knows how beautiful it is, but also how crowded it can be. It proved challenging to shoot with so many people around, but their photos definitely made the effort worth it. Check out these photos, and stay tuned to the blog for more coming soon!

A few individual portraits:

Of course, you’ve gotta have our Signature Shot!

This one was totally not posed. He’s just that sweet to her! We love capturing real moments like this.

We loved the texture in this wall!

You can’t do engagement photos in the Adirondacks without some Adirondack chairs!

Stay tuned for the rest of their photos soon, and their wedding will not be too far behind!

Angela and Richard’s Engagement Preview 1 | Albany, NY Wedding Photography

Scott — Mon, 16 Aug 2010 21:00:09 +0000

It’s been a little while since Angela and Richard’s teaser from their engagement session, but these images are worth the wait! Their Saratoga Springs wedding is a short time away, and we are almost as excited about it as they are. They met up with us at beautiful Lake George, NY at the base of the Adirondacks for their engagement session, and it made a perfect backdrop to capture this awesome couple. Check out some of our favorite images from the session, with more to come tomorrow!

The sun hid behind a gray overcast all day, but made one very brief appearance that we were able to capture.

We found a GREAT pier to shoot on. What is a lake without a pier anyway?

Revisiting this image from their teaser post – still our favorite!

Check out the bling! This is an absolutely gorgeous ring.

Check back tomorrow evening for the second half of their preview!

The Threadgill Family | Philadelphia Lifestyle Photography

Scott — Sun, 15 Aug 2010 22:37:28 +0000

Jillian and Marcus and their two boys brought us down to Philadelphia to shoot their family session recently. We were really honored to capture their family in these images, and we had an awesome time wandering around downtown Philly with them. We went everywhere from Rittenhouse Square to the classic Philly sites like the Love statue, and of course had to get the classic shot in front of city hall. Here are a few of our favorite images, and check out the slideshow afterwards! Contact us to schedule your family session today, and remember, we love to travel!

A little fun in the fountain at Love Park!

I don’t think you can shoot in downtown Philly without shooting the LOVE statue!

The kids with the Philly Phanatic – Love it!

Another classic shot in front of City Hall.

This next one is our favorite shot from the session.

We love this headshot of Jillian – there are more of everyone else, check out the slideshow for those!

Here’s a cute little moment captured between Jillian and Marcus – obviously not shy in front of the camera!

Scott — Sat, 14 Aug 2010 07:46:33 +0000

Me met up with Angela and Ian on one of our many trips through Massachusetts to shoot their engagement session at the place where they first met their freshman year, Worcester Polytechnic Institute. We got some amazing golden light just around sunset, and the WPI campus provided a great backdrop for these fun photos.

Samantha and Josh are Married! | Northampton, MA Wedding Photography

Scott — Thu, 05 Aug 2010 05:20:39 +0000

Samantha and Josh got married in beautiful Look Park in Northampton, MA, and it couldn’t have been a more amazing day. The Pines Theater nestled in the trees at the park provided a truly spectacular backdrop for their intimate ceremony. The guests then moved off to the Garden House just up the hill while we got to spend a little time with the two newlyweds for some intimate, relaxed portraits before they walked over to join the party. From there, the evening was incredibly relaxed and a lot of fun. Since Josh is such a huge soccer fan and a player himself, the wedding was infused with a little World Cup spirit and excitement. Thank you guys for allowing us to be a part of your day and we wish you many happy years together!
