Saratoga Springs Wedding

Maura and Derek are two easy to like people and so were their families and the bridal party. I really enjoyed my day with them at the Saratoga Dance Museum for their wedding.

We shared lots of laughs and oohs and awes as all the girls finished getting ready.
 Then we set up for Maura and Derek to have their first look since they wanted to see each other before the ceremony (which was a fantastic idea to perhaps calm some nerves).
Derek may have been slightly emotional when he first saw his stunning bride.












After the first meeting and a quiet moment together, we brought the whole bridal party together and the young group let me get some energetic shots!

  
These guys would not let me stop laughing at the things they'd come up with as I guided them through my ideas for photographs.

 All these girls are so beautiful, add a gorgeous dress, a great hair style and dash of makeup and we captured some very memorable shots.

 


Then, they got married.
 It was a beautiful, custom ceremony by Reverend Joy Burke; she was a pleasure to work with and clearly puts her heart into the work she does.
After the ceremony there was a cocktail hour and then the reception. I loved how the couple had a family of paparazzi's taking pictures at their entrance.

The flowers were perfectly designed to match the theme of the Museum's decor, Maura's dress and each of the the bridesmaids. Simply put, they couldn't have been better! Splendid Stems did a fantastic job putting this all together!


I loved seeing a shot from our Engagement photo session at the sign in table.
 
 Next we danced the night away with the Karen Lawrence Band keeping things lively and upbeat.
