betsy & brian tie the knot

Posted in: Weddings

June 9 2009

This past Friday we photographed Betsy & Brian’s wedding in Johnstown NY. The house we started at was Betsy’s aunts house and had some really nice landscaping going on. So much that we opted to head back to the house after the mass for the formal photos. The ceremony took place at St John’s in Johnstown. I loved shooting here, the outside was awesome and the interior was bright and colorful. The light was dropping quite fast after the ceremony so it was a good thing that we ventured back to Betsy’s aunts house rather than Riverstone Manor which was about a 20 minute drive vs a 3 minute drive. It might not sound like much but 20 minutes in photography time can be crucial when the sun’s going away for the day. It was nice to work with Betsy again and I say that because she was the one who sold me Kris Ann’s engagement ring last year. I noticed she was sporting an engagement ring at the time and passed on our info her way and the rest is history. Betsy & Brian, thanks for trusting us with your big day and congrats!

Enjoy & leave some love,
JP

This is easily my favorite ring shot so far this season. I wish that bird would have peeked out though.

Great shot!

Besty was full of emotions all day..

The next three I love:

My favorite from the day.

Or is this my favorite?

All night long they smiled and danced.
