Johnson wedding - October 30, 2009

Mr. and Mrs. Johnson were married October 30, 2009 at Glen Sanders Mansion. Both the bride and groom are state troopers, and they met through work and friends many years ago. Their wedding was on a brisk but beautiful fall day, and their photographer Tracey Buyce did a phenomenal job capturing the warmth of the setting sun in some of the outdoor pictures. Tracey rocks!! The colors for this wedding were cranberry and gold, with rich brown linens and bright pops of pink flowers on the tables. The bride and groom decided to go with a "favor" that everyone was sure to love - an ice cream sundae bar! It was super fun and delicious and I'm pretty sure all their guests came back for seconds and thirds. The team at Glen Sanders did an awesome job with the food and service, the flowers and linens were done by the fabulous David Michael Schmidt of Renaissance Floral Designs, and Mike Garassi from Music Man Entertainment rocked the party on the dance floor. This group had a ton of energy and it was too hard for me to narrow down the photos so I hope you enjoy them all!

WPP Photo of the Week!

I love posting big bold photos, but sometimes it's the quiet beauty of a wedding dress and a brand new wedding ring that makes the loudest statement.

A look ahead to 2010... Brittany and Schyler

Another one of my fabulous 2010 couples had engagement photos taken that I just had to get up on the blog. (Drum roll...Brrrr... ) Please meet Brittany and Schyler, and their superly adorable son Connor! I have been working with these guys for almost 2 whole years now, and their wedding is just a few weeks away. I love this couple, they are so sweet and so nice, and now that their wedding is only a few weeks away I'm so excited for them that I'm literally counting down the days!

Thank you to their fabulous photographer Niki Rossi for the incredible photos. These are all framers for sure. Check out the stinkin' cute pics of little Connor! :) If you have decided not to do engagement photos I say think again!

A look ahead to 2010... Lauren and Joel

It's officially 2010 so it's time to get excited about our next year of weddings! We have some super awesome events coming up this year in some of the best venues in the area. I can't wait!

Let me introduce you to one of our 2010 couples, Lauren and Joel. Their photographer, Holly Greene from Out of the Ordinary Photography, took these amazing images during their engagement session with her this past fall. The bride is so sweet and super photogenic, and look how handsome her groom is! Their wedding will be in July 2010 in Lake George. Lots of fun stuff planned - I can't wait to blog about it once it's here!
