Erica and Joe - October 12, 2013



When I think of the ideal fall day, I think of crisp air, vibrant leaf colors and that fall sunshine that warms your heart. When I think of Erica & Joe's wedding, I think of the ideal fall day that I just described. There couldn't have been a more gorgeous autumn weather day for Erica and Joe - perfect day for a perfect couple! 

We began this stunning day at the Hampton Inn and Suites in Saratoga with the amazing and talented team from True Grace Makeup. Not only are Jen + team so friendly, professional and beyond talented, they sure know how to keep things on time! Erica and all the girls were ready way before they even needed to be and they all looked incredibly flawless. The guys were getting ready just down the hall so my assistant Melissa and I rotated between rooms to make sure everything was perfect for everyone. Once everybody was ready, we coordinated transportation services with the wonderful Today's Limousine to get the bridal party and parents to Yaddo Gardens in Saratoga for the First Look and bridal party photos. 

Scott and Lisa Kretschmann were the photographers for this day and boy did they do a great job- helping everyone stay on time and nailing the most gorgeous images. Once photos were complete, we all headed up to Lake Luzerne for the ceremony, held at Holy Mother and Child Parish. Our beautiful bride Erica walked down the aisle right on time, with a relaxed smile on her face the whole time. The ceremony was about a half hour and once it was over, the bride and groom wanted to head directly to their venue, the beautiful National Museum of Dance in Saratoga. 

Erica and Joe were able to check out their gorgeous ballroom and sip a cocktail at the National Museum of Dance before all their guests arrived, really allowing them to take in their wedding day and all the excitement that surrounded it. The tables were adorned with centerpieces from Johnstone Florist and Black Diamond Catering was busy preparing and presenting a fun, BBQ style meal for everyone. I am talking some delicious BBQ folks- YUM- and all the guests loved it! DJ Linda Terricola from Eclectic Songs kept the tunes rolling for everyone to enjoy all night and the Kretschmann photo booth was a huge hit for all guests too! To top it off, as guests were leaving the reception, they were invited to take a bottle of homemade beer made by the bride & groom. So fun!!!

It was a true pleasure to plan and coordinate for Erica and Joe. E and J- you two are amazing, down-to-earth, fantastic people and I am so glad I got to know you both through this process. I hope married life is treating you so well and that the plans for your upcoming honeymoon in Paris are coming along perfectly!  xoxo Erin R

McKenzie and Kyle - September 7, 2013



McKenzie and Kyle were married on September 7, 2013, at a very special location, their new home.  This warm and fun couple didn’t let a little rain get them down that day and their love lit up the tents in their backyard.  

The most important thing to McKenzie and Kyle about their day was to be surrounded by their family, friends and loved ones, including their fur babies.  McKenzie’s sisters were with her the whole morning and her younger sister, Reilly stood next to her during the ceremony.  Kyle’s best friend was there to provide laughter and fun up until the ceremony and stood next him while he said his vows.  The couple chose to write their own vows for a ceremony conducted by a treasured friend.  I don’t think there was a dry eye in the house listening to them to profess their love for one another. Once we all dried our eyes, the energy really cranked up and the group partied into the night!

Heather Bohm-Tallman did a beautiful job of capturing this fantastic day!  Just take a look at these stunning photos.  The ladies of Make Me Fabulous did an awesome job of making for some fabulous looking ladies before the day began.  The groom’s aunt, Kim, of Lily and the Rose catering, provided not only excellent food for the reception but also all the décor for the night.  Soul Session the Band kept the party going from the start of the ceremony to the end of the night while Red Cape Dream captured all the fun of the evening on video. 

McKenzie and Kyle you are beautiful couple inside and out and I’m so happy you let me be a part of your day!! Congratulations!!

XO Ginny

A Look Ahead - Amanda and Mike




Amanda and Mike are getting married in August 2014 and they have been such a blast to work with!  We have most of their vendors secured so far, including their photographer - the fabulous Tiffany Wayne.  Tiffany shot their engagement photos on a very cold day this month and the images are fantastic!  I love their dogs and these two are so tough you can't even tell they were freezing!

Thanks for sharing these images with me, Tiffany!  I can't wait to work with you on their big day!
