Ahh! If you’re following me on social media, you are most likely aware that I will be launching a brand new website soon! In typical Tiffany fashion, I was hoping that it would launch overnight…because, let’s face it, I’m impatient. But, the web world disagrees with my immediate request…apparently this is a process. I had high hopes that I would begin the 2015 wedding season blog posts on my new website-but I just can’t hold out any longer! I am so in love with Rachel and Zach’s wedding images, I just had to share them! So here I am writing to you!

If you live in the Northeast, particularly New York, the weather went from winter to summer in one week. Leading up to the wedding I remember thinking, “This is so great! The weather will be nice and warm for Rachel and Zach’s wedding!” Well, Mother Nature decided to give us one last “hoorah” of winter. It was so cold! The wind did not help either! But, it did not rain! So I can’t complain. At our final meeting we chatted about locations in the Clifton Park/Waterford area to do the First Look. After driving around, I found this really cool road that was surrounded by my favorite tall golden grassy things. (Super technical term, “golden grassy things”) Rachel and Zach took my suggestion and the location worked out perfectly! Chelsea, my super fun second shooter, had the guys all pumped up and ready to rock when I arrived with the girls! And, let me just say… Miss Chelsea deserves a huge shout out because she is my right-hand girl on wedding days! Thank you for all you do, Chelsea!

Before arriving to the First Look location, the morning with the girls was so much fun! There were so many touching moments between Rachel and her parents and sister.  This is what a wedding day is al about- family and love.

When we arrived to the First Look location, Zach’s reaction to his bride was priceless. His eyebrows went flying sky high and he put his hand over his mouth – he was speechless.  I just about melted. I’m such a sucker for romance!! After portrait session we headed to Waterford to get these two officially married! It was such a special ceremony… Following the ceremony we headed down to 90 State to celebrate! The energy was remarkable-so much joy and love. I think I’m addicted to weddings! Anyway, let’s take a look at some of my favorite images, shall we?! Rachel and Zach, thank you so much for choosing me to capture such a special time in your life. May the coming years be filled with as much joy and love as your wedding day. Congratulations!!!

With love,
Tiffany
