We call all of our clients rockstars but it isn’t often we get to photograph actual rockstars. Jason is a member of Jet Crash Billy, which for those of you not in the know is a high energy party band that plays in spots all around the Albany area and Jen is definitely his #1 fan.  Of course you know their session was going rock and these shots definitely don’t disappoint. For their session they chose the Saratoga Race Course, the site of their first date or “where it all began” as Lisa likes to say in her sports announcer voice. We made a little stop afterwards at Congress Park to really round out the Saratoga Springs experience.

After the big snow of October we were able to get some warmer weather (finally) and some pretty fall light. I love fall light because it is so warm and beautiful it makes Albany look a bit like Southern California. You put our rockstar couple in gorgeous locations with some pretty light and just like Emeril would say BAM! You have a Kretschmann engagement session to remember. Even when we had a small forgotten clothes crisis at our second location Jen and Jason continued with their session like pros. What follows are some of our favorites so hang tight because there is a lot of rockstar style with a touch of cute in this session.

No matter how many times we shoot on the track, it’s still cool.

At the starting gates:

The start of the pretty light:

SO romantic! :

Standby for August 18 next year:

I always love the clubhouse when it’s empty. So cool.

LOVE this one:

Off to Congress Park, and we hit it right at sunset. PERFECTION!

This one was our Facebook teaser. Make sure you like our page to be the first to see their wedding photos!

OK, funny story with this next series. Those of you who follow this blog know we love a nice golden backlight from a golden sunset more than anything, which is just what we had here. So, as I’m lying on my stomach in the grass getting these shots, and Lisa is standing a few yards to my right catching the other angle, both of us with pro cameras, lenses, and gear bags, an old lady comes up behind me as I’m shooting and says, “Excuse me, you shouldn’t shoot into the sun. Those won’t come out.”  Gee, thanks ma’am. I’ll leave it up to you guys to decide if they came out or not. We personally love them.

That golden rim light is sheer perfection. The smiles and happiness on their faces is just sublime. Can’t beat it.

Classic Saratoga Springs:

Did we mention how much we love sunset photos???

Oh yeah. That’s the light.

So incredibly sweet. How can you not LOVE this one?

And we’ll finish off playing in the leaves.

Actually we’ll finish with Jason feeding the duck that came over to visit a piece of leaf. The duck was NOT amused.

Can’t say we weren’t though.

Jen and Jason-We are so happy that everything happened the way it did so that we are able to be a part of your special day It was a blast working with you guys, and we can’t wait for your wedding. Oh, and for anyone who isn’t doing anything this Saturday night, Jason and Jet Crash Billy will be playing at the Dinosaur BBQ in Troy, so come down and see them and say hi to us as well!

We just had a great engagement session in Saratoga Springs, NY at the incredible Congress Park with Steve and Connie. They gave us a great introduction to the park. We had never been there before, and it is a beautiful place. We just caught the tail end of fall. Unfortunately, the carousel was closed, but we still enjoyed the most BEAUTIFUL fall day in the park. We honestly could NOT have asked for better weather, and it was not at all like November in Upstate NY! Here are a few of our favorite shots from the session. We’re so excited about their wedding this spring!
