Chelsea & Steven's Wedding Day

Summer weddings are always special; this one at Sixty State Place was no exception. Sixty State Place is a refined banquet hall and wedding venue situated in Albany, New York, offering a lavish atmosphere, stylish décor, and the perfect setting for your wedding ceremony. Originally a symbol of financial prosperity, this venue has been transformed into an elegant ballroom that beautifully combines classic architectural elements with a contemporary vibe. This historic and sophisticated space provides a distinctive backdrop for your wedding ceremony, ensuring your special day is truly memorable and elegant.

From the moment we arrived, we could feel the excitement in the air for Chelsea & Steven’s big day. As the bridal party gathered for preparations, the atmosphere was filled with laughter and fun. The bridesmaids helped with last-minute touches, and we loved capturing those candid moments that showcased their unique personalities. Whether it was a playful pose or a sweet interaction, these memories were pure joy. The First Look was an absolute highlight—seeing the groom’s face light up as he caught a glimpse of his bride was priceless. It’s those genuine emotions that make our job so rewarding. Next came the ceremony—short, sweet, and deeply touching. The couple exchanged heartfelt vows, and the love in the room was palpable. We always strive to capture the little details: a tear rolling down a cheek, the way their hands intertwined, the smiles from family and friends sharing in the moment. Once the vows were said and the couple was pronounced married, the reception kicked off with great energy. The dance floor was alive with celebration, accented by beautiful decorations and joyful faces. We made sure to capture the candid moments—the couple’s first dance, toasts filled with laughter, and even some fun dance moves from the guests.

As night began to fall, we took the couple outside for some intimate night couple photos. The city lights created a magical backdrop, perfect for capturing their love under the stars. These are often some of our favorite moments of the day, where the couple can just be themselves and enjoy a little quiet time together amidst the whirlwind of their celebration.

Reflecting on the day, it was a joy to capture such a beautiful celebration of love at Sixty State Place. Each wedding tells a unique story, and we are grateful to play a part in capturing those unforgettable moments. Here’s to many more beautiful weddings!
