Each blog post is bitter-sweet because each one brings me closer to the end of the wedding season for 2010. Bitter because I love shooting weddings, sweet because I have a moment to breath, reflect and try to think of some new and interesting things that I can do for 2011 (I cant get complacent…every year has to be better!). I love being a Wedding Photographer...

I have to say that Altamont is a great place for photography! I’m not just saying that because my last blog post was about a Altamont wedding (see it here). This scenic spot was definitely worth the 20 minute drive out of Albany. It took a little while for Jackie, Ryan and myself to coordinate our schedules so that we could do this engagement photo session, but it...

The end of this wedding season was busier than the rest of the year. So, I’ve slacked off a little on the blogging to catch up on some engagement photo sessions and wedding photo editing (i think the snazzy new term is wed-iting). Well, I’m back on track and I should be putting stuff up a little more frequently now. This latest post includes photos from one of...

Years ago before I knew what a blog was, I was the photographer for Beatrice (Beatie) & Gary’s wedding in Saratoga. Since then I was fortunate enough to shoot quite a few of there friends weddings. Last weekend, I had the pleasure of taking some maternity photos for them for their first pregnancy. (I had to dig up this photo for a trip down memory...

Sometimes it’s nice to go somewhere else besides the Albany area to photograph a wedding and this was one of those occasions. I went down to Westchester last month to cover Maureen and Perry’s nuptials. Maureen searched high and low for a photographer in her area but none of them worked for her. She decided to look a little further upstate and I was happy to...

What would fall be without an engagement photo session that included some apple picking? This is a fun time for any couple that has a wedding coming up. I met up with Valerie and Josh at an Altamont orchard (not too far from Albany) for a little apple picking and fun photos. While I enjoy posing a couple; I love to sit back and watch things happen naturally. Usually I...

I noticed lately that fall weddings have been in high demand . From a wedding photographer’s standpoint this is great since this is the only time of year to get those vibrant colors. Well, we started Jackie an Dan’s wedding day in Latham to get a few preparation photos then headed over to the Crossings in Colonie ( Albany) for an outdoor ceremony. So, it was...

I like to do Engagement Photo Sessions because I really get to know the couple in a stress free setting. Not too many photographers offer them standard in every wedding photography package like I do. I feel that it preps the bride and groom for what they will experience on the big day. I got to spend some time shooting Danielle and John at a park in Schenectady. They...

I had the pleasure of being the photographer for Laurel & Jacob’s Wedding last month in Castleton, NY (around 40 min away from Albany). I met this couple through Saskia, a bride from a wedding I shot earlier this year (you can see that wedding at http://dexphotos.com/blog/?p=480). As a wedding photographer it’s great to get referrals from past brides...

I did Valerie & Ryan’s Engagement Photography early in the summer (check out http://dexphotos.com/blog/?p=748 ) ; they were such a great couple that I knew that the wedding was going to be a good one. Well, we started like most wedding days taking preparation photos at the bride’s home. We then went to St John’s in Schenectady for the ceremony which...

I had the pleasure of being the photographer for Jennifer and Seth’s wedding last month in Saratoga, NY. This was set to be an outdoor ceremony at Longfellows in Saratoga but this day had questionable weather from the start. Well, the rain held up a little and our bride was able to have her outdoor ceremony that she dreamed of. Everything worked out well and we got...

One thing that I can say about the wedding photography business is that it allows me to see many different places. This wedding took me away from Albany to the state of Massachusetts for Christine and Albert’s wedding. The mountains in this area were pretty awe-inspiring to say the least. We took a few quick prep photos at the family’s home in Stamford, VT and...
