My head hurts from bloggin’. Seriously these past few weeks I’ve been cranking out an average of 3 posts per week. This heres the 4th post for this week! I might even post something tomorrow if ya dare me! Anyway this rockin’ Albany engagement shoot features our bride & groom for the most requested Saturday’s in September of 2010 and every year for that matter. September 18th 2010 is there wedding and you’ll have to check back for Nicole & Nick’s wedding pics. If they’re anything like this engagement session I know it will not disappoint our viewers. So I titled this blog post fall color because in the first 9 images of the post the color just screams! Then when they changed into their dressier clothes the shoot became more muted and even monochromatic. I just love the contrast between the two looks. Its just awesome. Anyway we look forward to spending September 18th 2010 with you guys!

Enjoy, leave love,

Here we go…

This color is just nutty.

Until the leaves are gone this shot here will always be a fall staple.

Understand I’m looking at this image on a 30″ monitor. I just love it. I hope it looks as good on your screens.

The color on the left is awesome. The stairs on the right are even better. So much character!

The color just kept coming. This is one of my favs.

This is my #1 fav from the first set.

Love these two.

This is one of my fav new spots for shooting. I’ll never tell. Great shot of Nicole right?

My #1 fav from the second set.

Because we all need some b&w love.

I really like this one too!

And last but not least. My token “bling shot”.

So just like that here’s another engagement session for you! This one is featuring our October 9, 2010 couple Michele & Brian or Chele if you will. Since these guys are getting married at the Hall of Springs in Saratoga Springs where else would I have photographed them? The fall colors in this shoot are just awesome. I think we definitely caught the peak foliage for sure. So sit back, relax & enjoy this set of images. Can’t wait for next October!

Enjoy, leave love,

What a happy going duo!

The color is just awesome!

Classic fall style image right here:

Classic Hall of Springs image:

Do any of you other engaged ladies out there name your ring? Michele named her’s “Victoria”

Fav of the day:

I love the monochromatic tones.

Same spot but pointing the camera in a different direction gives you a whole different image.

I like this one..

The reason for Starbucks is its where their first date. Also there are a few registered trademarks ™ here: Starbucks, Red Sox (boo) and oh yeah my “bling shot™”.

Here’s another family session for you all! This one is definitely dominant in the yellow tones and thats alright with me since its my favorite color. Gianna was super easy to photograph since she’s super cute! I had a great time with Teresa, Anthony, Gianna and of course their 12 pound pomeranian “Princess”. Thanks guys! Lets do it again next season!

Enjoy, leave love,

I think she’s a little unsure of this whole modeling thing… although in the bottom right image she smirked a little.

I think that might be the most perfect yellow leaf in all of Albany… just saying.

Gosh she’s cute!

Children always seem to love this..

I think Teresa & Anthony are loving it too though.

Doesn’t Gianna look a little diva in that image on the right?

And maybe a little curious in this one.

A nice one of Anthony and his girls…

Ha! I think she was bout to attack me with leaves. Maybe when I photograph her wedding in the future she’ll try to hit me with her bouquet.

I must apologize for my delay on blogging this October 24th wedding. Normally you know me, I crank these blogs out like its no ones business but October kicked my butt. So without further ado here’s Tomalika & Dan’s post…

Recalling back to this 100% chance of rain day I thought there was no way we’d ever fire off one frame outdoors. I was wrong! The rain stopped a couple times that Saturday and in the right times of the day for us. We arrived at Dan’s fathers house where everyone and I mean EVERYONE was getting ready. The guys downstairs shooting pool, the ladies in the kitchen getting some hair and makeup done of course by Alayne and her crew from Make Me Fabulous.  After everyone got dressed the guys were off to The Desmond and the I pulled the ladies outdoors for some photos. It stopped raining so why not right? Talk about color, the ladies were so vibrant and beautiful. Its such a treat to have something different to photograph. After that we rushed to The Desmond and had about 3 minutes outdoors with Tomalika & Dan, seriously I think it was no longer than 3 minutes. The light went away and it started to rain again so we went indoors and it was time to tie the knot. After a beautiful ceremony it was a wardrobe change for Tomalika a few more shots of the couple and party time. Tomalika & Dan, congrats to you both and thanks for having us.

Enjoy, leave love,

Alayne is always on time.

Since the guys were playing pool and they had the rings, I could not resist. Oh yeah October 24th… duh!

A little behind the scenes of that one.

Grainy b&w =  awesome.

I’m just loving all these images…

That henna was awesome right?

Tomalika was such a beautiful bride. So photogenic.

You gotta love some flowers from Fleurtacious Designs.

Talk about color!

One shot from their first look.

I think this tree is just awesome for the color Tomalika is wearing.

One of my favs from the day.

Because their ceremony space was so nice we had to take just one in there before the guests came in.

A wardrobe change.

So Tomalika asked me if I got a shot of her shoes which I had not up until this point. Boy am I glad she said something because this image is just awesome.

I love the available light stuff in the dining room. It was dark too, anyone who knows The Desmond knows what I’m talking about.

Another awesome job by Fleurtacious Designs:
