Happy Valentines Day from everyone at Dexter Davis Photography & Video! If you’re reading this after V-Day then I hope you enjoyed it and you spent it with someone special. I guess it is kind of appropriate to do a wedding photo blog-post today because this a day that people think about love and companionship and weddings embody that.

So, on to the wedding blog stuff….We shot Kelsey and Jacob’s wedding at the end of January and we were really excited to be shooting again during a month that is typically slow for weddings. We actually covered video on this one too and I look forward to displaying an edited snippet here on the blog in a few weeks. We found out that Jacob was in the military, so there was a small window of time before the wedding, but we understand and love the opportunity to service our men and women in the Armed Forces.

So, after some quick planning and coordinating….the wedding day was here! We started with a few preparation photos of  Kelsey at the family’s home in Earlton, NY. Then we headed to the ceremony at the United Methodist Church in Cairo, NY(around 45 minutes south of Albany).

I loved that we had a chance to head back to Leeds, NY for the Reception at Anthony’s Banquet Hall since we haven’t been there since 9 months ago. Anthony and his staff where hospitable to us and showed the bride and groom a good time.

I like the back-lighting that the light on the ceiling added to this photoI always try to do something just a little different from the “norm”. I thought it would be interesting to put the shoes on a stack of firewood.

This was a great opportunity to try something different with my new Macro lens……..

This shot was a big improvement on  the pic that I shot last year on the same bridge…

A little decor from Anthony’s that night…..

It’s kind of hard to explain why these guys had these goofy accessories on….let’s just say they had a ball and…well..receptions are supposed to be fun!

At the end of the night the best man had some fun with the bartenders at Anthony’s….I’m sure Kelsey and Jacob liked the sign outside. It’s nice to have your name in lights…

Well, that’s all for now. I felt that it was appropriate to end with this final photo. Thanks, for checking out the blog and as always, please go to www.dexphotos.com for more
