I’m going to leave you with this post for the weekend, all I can say is wow! I’ve known Julie & Tommy for years now and when they asked me to capture Layla their stunning daughter not only was I flattered, I was stoked to photograph such a beautiful family. I’m glad we decided to take advantage of that fall color and afternoon light in Albany’s Washington Park. Layla was a simply a joy to photograph, I think the images speak for themselves.

On a side note, it’s definitely fall and we’re approaching that peak in color so if anyone has any interest in shooting and engagement shoot, family shoot or photos just because give me a ring or drop me a line. I have very limited time in the next couple weeks. This weekend is super busy for us, we have three weddings and next week I have a bunch of engagement sessions scheduled (weather pending) so be patient with my blog posts, I promise to make it worth the wait.

Happy Fall -

This image is just gorgeous.

Those eyes!

So I hope you all enjoyed that little video in the post below but now its back to the official blog. Melissa & Tim we’re all about photos & getting good photos which is what we’re all about, with that combo you can’t go wrong. We get really excited going to a wedding when we know the couple is really into photography and what we do, it pumps us up. We’re thrilled with the outcome of their photos and this is just the beginning, putting a book together for Melissa & Tim with all these great shots to choose from becomes our all of our couples biggest task’s, bigger than creating seating carts for their reception!

The mass was at St Thomas in Delmar, NY. Melissa & Tim chose a 2:30pm mass which is probably the best time of day in October if not the year to get married. I say this because you still have that great fall light waiting for you as you exit the church. Then it was off to a few spots in Albany for some bride and groom portraits. Melissa & Tim we’re a fun and easy couple to work with and we enjoyed the company of their bridal party and parents.

Enjoy, leave love, peace -

Yellows my all time favorite color, this room was great!

This shot has all the elements going on, great light, a mother, a sister. You just can’t stage this stuff!

Dad was pretty excited as you can see…

Remember where you saw it first.

Melissa’s sister Maureen, beautiful voice. I wish you could hear my images…

Here I am enjoying a laugh with Melissa & Tim

The light on the left was as good as it gets.

I thought I would share some moving images with you today. On our way to do portraits in downtown Albany I noticed my father had his Canon G7 with him so we decided to snap some quick and dirty video shots while I photographed Melissa & Tim. Now we’re not videographers of any kind so don’t grade us on the “off the hip” point and shoot video. Just something fun for Monday, check back later in the week for their official blog.
