An adorable couple, who actually live around the corner from me! Julia and Matt were wonderful to work with. Their Niskayuna, NY wedding was held at the Mohawk Country Club. Julia and I had met the week before to tour the grounds and came up with a plan for the photography element of their special day. Julia was just about to get in her dress when I arrived.

I met Olivia there, and got ready to set up the couple's first look. The excited nerves quickly disappeared

Look two from the "Around the World in One Bedroom" themed concept shoot with Ashley! With the right clothing, accessories, colors, textures, and backdrops we were able to create a look that matched the region of Bali. A relaxed vibe with warm tones rang through this session.
