Happy Wednesday Y’all! It is seriously a gorgeous day here in Upstate New York! I have the window opened and I am breathing in some fresh spring air…even though today feels more like summer! And you know what, it’s about to get even hotter! Second to shooting the actual wedding, my favorite part about being a photographer is blogging! I love to tell a romantic photo story. Seriously, it makes my whole entire day. You know that excitement, that super happy feeling when you’re out shopping and you find the most amazing shirt…and it fits perfectly…It’s kinda like that. But! I’m not here to talk about shopping or shirts, or how much I love blogging… Today I am here to celebrate in photos, Ali and Dan!

I met up with the girls at the Century House where they were getting ready, while my assistant Nicole was with the boys down the hall. We were ahead of schedule, which was amazing …so it really gave the girls (and boys!) a chance to relax and have lunch. I started out photographing the details, which you all know I love! The girls chatted and laughed in the background, which always makes the vibe feel like home… I’m telling you folks, photography is totally what I was put on this Earth to do… Soon after the details were captured, we got this beautiful girl in her dress and ready for first look!

The first look took place behind the Century House along a beautiful tree-lined path. Stunning for photos! As expected, these two were smiling ear to ear! We spent about 15-20 minutes twirling around the path and capturing these two lovebirds! Then we headed down to Albany for more photos with the bridal party and family members. The weekend before was tulip festival and Ali and Dan had a special spot in mind near some colorful tulips for their portraits. Washington Park was pretty crowded due to the good weather (yay weather!). Knowing that strangers in wedding photos aren’t ideal, I pulled out some yellow tulle that would help block them out. I love the result, you can see the outcome once you scroll down the entry.

The ceremony was sweet and sentimental- and I loved the colors of the church…it photographed so pretty! After Ali and Dan officially became husband and wife, it was time to get this celebration started! There were a lot of well wishes, and great stories shared during their toasts…and the music had everyone out of their seats! Truly a beautiful and memorable day. Ali and Dan, thank you so much for choosing me to photograph your special day…it was so much fun working with you! A little Irish blessing for you….”May your hands forever be clasped in friendship, and your hearts forever joined in love.” Be sure to leave a little love in the comment form below! Enjoy and congratulations!!

With Love,
Tiffany
