Amanda and Zachary at the Hall of Springs
August 22, 2010
Here’s a great looking couple made for each other. Planning a wedding from Boston was not a easy job for Amanda.But thanks to her mom and a bridal show at the Glen Sanders Mansion this past January everything came together. Once again weather was not the best but we still managed to got some great shots and to top it off, the wedding couple left with a sparkler farewell.
Best of Luck,
Michael and Nancy
Allison and Brandon at the Saratoga National Golf Club
August 20, 2010
The month of August was a perfect month to shoot weddings and Allison and Brandon’s was no exception. The couple planned the entire event on their own. This bride should become a wedding planner instead of a teacher. Everything was great, the weather, flowers, church (St. John’s in Schenectady) family and friends could not have enjoyed themselves more.
Thanks for letting us document your special day, it was a real treat.

Jenna and Adam’s Wedding
July 31, 2010
Here it is the last day in July and once again we ended the month on a high note,
with a magnificent day and one happy couple; Jenna and Adam!
Everything from the dress to the flowers and shoes, that Jenna chose was
perfection! It was easy to see that Jenna felt pleased with all her wedding
decisions as she posed for the camera with confidence!
As Adam looked at his watch in anticipation of seeing his bride to be, friends and family
gathered outside for the ceremony to begin. After a beautiful service the bridal party enjoyed
some fun shots with Jenna and Adam and even Ellie the flower girl posed like a little model for us.
After a walk in the woods, the celebration began and Jenna and Adam danced all night with their friends
with DJ Paul Malo leading the way with his creative selection of music.
We had so much fun and enjoyed being part of Jenna and Adam’s wedding day!
Thank you so much for allowing us to capture every moment!
Congratulations!

Jennifer and Ben's Wedding
Saratoga Springs in April with no signs of rain was just the beginning of what
turned out to be a very happy day for Jennifer and Ben's wedding day! All the
preperation's that went into the planning of this amazing wedding were perfect!
Jennifer was glowing as her Dad walked her down the aisle and you could hear a
pin drop when Ben's brother played the violin.
With plenty of time to spare we had a lot of fun with the wedding party as we
took advantage of the beautiful weather and spectacular views at the Hall of
Springs for our pictures. In case of rain Jennifer had umbrellas for all the
girls in the wedding party. Even though they were not needed Jen wanted to have
some fun with them, and so we did!
As we entered the hall the first thing I noticed were the centerpieces that were
spectacular! I later found out that Ben's mother made all the arrangements and
Jen's mother found antique wine glasses to use as votives for the tables that
guests took home as favors! I must also mention On from Surroundings who as
usual out did himself with the magnificent bridal bouquets, Andy Pratt the DJ,
and the staff and management at the Hall of Springs, who never fail to make
every brides dream come true!
We just want to thank you Jen and Ben for allowing us to be part of your special
day and making our work easy and fun!

Cailin and Alan's Wedding
Saturday March 13, 2010
When you live in California as Cailin and Alan do, a destination wedding on the
east coast makes it easier for friends and family to gather and celebrate their
wedding! Then when you pick a venue, there is nothing more beautiful than
upstate's finest, Saratoga National Golf Course in Saratoga Springs, New York.
As we entered the room where the bridal party were being pampered and looking
fabulous thanks to Elayne from "Make me Fabulous", we were greeted by a very
happy bride-to-be Cailin!
Now the fun begins when the wedding dress is on, the shoes fit perfectly and the
veil goes on easily and Cailin posing like a professional and looking like she
belonged in a Bridal Magazine!
After a perfect ceremony in the lobby of the Golf Club, guests were treated to
an hour of cocktails and hors d'eouvres. Now it is time to get this party
started! After all the formalities and guests were treated to an amazing
dinner, DJ Paul Malo, had every everyone dancing and celebrating!
We would like to thank Cailin, Alan, family and friends for making our work
easy and fun, we enjoyed spending the day with you and wish you health and
happiness!
Michael and Nancy

Sylvia and Neil's Wedding
What a spectacular day for a wedding; a little windy, a slight chill in the air
and a few clouds; priceless! The only other thing you could ask for is a very
excited bride-to-be named Sylvia. She looked absolutely stunning in her
magnificent dress, perfect shoes, and awesome wrap! Although Sylvia doesn't
like to be the center of attention, she worked the camera like she was doing it
all her life as her family watched on lovingly. After we left Sylvia and
Neil's house we were off to the ceremony at the Saratoga National Golf Club.
There was plenty of time to take advantage of the golf course as a back drop for
Neil's photo time. We also had some fun shots with his best men who love to
play golf! We have worked at Saratoga National many times, but no matter how
small or large your wedding might be, we are always in awe of how the ballroom
is transformed into whatever your dream wedding might be. After a beautiful
ceremony, and just before the sunset we again took advantage of the spectacular
view and took the wedding party out to the golf course. After an awesome
dinner, and all the formalities were completed, DJ Paul Malo, had everyone up on
their feet dancing the rest of the night!
We would like to thank Sylvia, Neil and their families for allowing us to be
part of your amazing day! You made it very easy for us to capture the happiness
and love that you all have for each other!

Stephanie & Bill’s Wedding
Magical, unique, fun; just a few adjectives that describe Stephanie and Bill’s special wedding day!
We started out at the Hampton Inn in Saratoga where Stephanie and her family were just arriving to check into the hotel. After the immediate family gathered into the only room that was ready, we had a good laugh when everyone was trying to get dressed at once. Nobody was fazed by this mishap, especially Stephanie and she looked beautiful for her photographs.! Now we are off to the Bachelor Mansion to spend quality time with the groom and groomsmen. We had some fun with the guys and got some great pictures, but we must continue on our journey and move on to the ceremony. As I mentioned earlier, this wedding was magical and that’s how my assistant described the ceremony at the Museum of Dance.
Stephanie was a ballerina, so how appropriate and thoughtful of Bill to have come up with this plan. Family and friends were greeted by a trio playing classical music and the bride walked down the aisle with her proud dad. The museum served as an awesome background for me to photograph the happy couple.
It is time to get this party started at the magnificent Hall of Springs. The room looked amazing with all the tables adorned with flower arrangements made by the bride. As always the food was incredibly delicious the staff was awesome, but the most memorable event of the evening, was the bride and grooms first dance. As their song began to play, everyone in the room was mesmerized by how they moved so eloquently across the room, never missing a step. After all the emotional toasts, the dinner was served, the cake was cut, the bouquet tossed, it was time for the New York Players to get everyone dancing; and that is exactly what they accomplished!
Congratulations and thank you Stephanie and Bill for a very enjoyable day!
