A hot summer Wedding was exactly what we needed on this day as the sun beamed on everyone’s excited faces. John in his usual goofy self was so excited to be marrying Sarah today but you could see the little bit of nervousness peek through when he wasn’t focusing on not being nervous. to ease up the getting ready tensions, his side of the party got to play some lawn games and hang out on the property while Sarah also prepared for the day. Did you know she is a jewelry maker? What better way to commemorate the day than by making your own jewelry on your own day. She was BEAMING with beauty, and she was definitely a little nervous about the details of the day and hoping that it just goes well. More importantly, she was excited to see John.

Kelly and Tony are super fun and totally up for anything I wanted to create for them (which are always my favorite words!) They chose Schenectady because this was a place of childhood memories that is rarely visited now. So I took them around the rose garden just to spring up some memories and to re acquaint them with the friendly atmosphere and the abundance of life. I can't wait for their wedding in 2018!

Sarah and Russell originally were both grew up here on the east coast, but their studies and careers took them both to the west coast. Over the course of time, they met on the west coast and moved back together to the east coast where I was honored to do their elopement in Schenectady City Hall. It was a rainy day, but it was a perfect day. I was even honored as being a witness! The amount of feels that I got probably couldn't be quantified enough by words. Just take a gander!

The day started off sunny, and full of activities, finishing out last minute changes and ironing out the details. It was quite the adventure, an adventure that Angela and Steve will talk about for years to come. Between setting the table charts, hair and make up, writing up the final words to the vows, and laughing in excitement and nervousness, It was perfect for Angela and Steve. They were so into each other, and so made for each other, I couldn't stop thinking how this sweet and wonderful woman, was marrying this chivalrous and respectable man. It was a perfect day.

Same-Sex marriage is no different, in fact, its just a Marriage. Now that we've gotten that out of the way, lets talk about new traditions that are coming into light now that everyone wants to have their own wedding.
