This one is simply beautiful. The tranquility of Melissa and Joseph’s wedding day on the grounds of camp Che-Na-Wah was as refreshing as an Adirondack lake breeze. The picturesque natural images from their wedding day speak quietly for themselves. So sit back and enjoy I little of the great outdoors, at the sentimental and touching marriage celebration of Melissa & Joseph.
Lisa and Jerome were such a fun couple to spend the day with. The bride was excited beyond level 10 right from the start. During the pre-ceremony at her parents home, I witnessed a full range of emotions, from tears to cheers. Of course, Jerome and the guys were a bit more subdued as they waited for the ceremony to begin. Soon, the groom did reveal his emotions as the bride-to-be appeared before him in the church doorway. There were no tears for Jerome however, just a super-sized smile and a growing look of nervous anticipation. After the couple shared their vows and first kiss, it was off to downtown Troy, NY for a classic photo session led by “The Elario Photography team.“ We captured some stunning images of romance as Lisa & Jerome strolled along the city streets, in their own newly wedded world. Finally, we were off to The Franklin Plaza for a long night of fun and frolic on the dance floor.
The 2010 wedding season is off to a tremendous start and I am having a great time capturing all of the awesomeness that it entails. Nicole and Brian were married in Saratoga Springs on June 18th. I knew from the moment I began heading north that it would be a great day. The weather was more than agreeable; sunny and 78 as the pre-ceremony got under way. Nicole was visibly excited, but did her best to remain calm. The ace photographic team from Joe Elario Photography made creative, but quick work of an early formal photo session. Then, it was off to Saratoga Unedited Methodist Church for the ceremony and on to Saratoga National for and elegant reception. This is when things got beautifully interesting. JP Elario made me sign a contract of secrecy, then blindfolded me and threw me into the back of a golf cart. When the blindfold was removed, I thought I had died and gone to cinematic heaven. The sun was a golden glow as it lingered in the evening sky; perfectly accenting a field of tall summer grasses. As Brian and his new bride spent a few carefree moments together, I could see bliss in their eyes as they relaxed into the sunset.
