7 Reasons to order a Wedding Album
Whenever I meet with potential wedding clients, I always ask if they’ve thought about getting a wedding album. To be honest, most of the time it isn’t something they’ve considered since they’ve been glued to their phones just trying to find a wedding photographer with the right style, personality, and professionalism- AND is available for their wedding date. Which is hard enough! But the physical products they offer should ABSOLUTELY also be a deciding factor. I believe every wedding deserves to be commemorated in an album, and I’ve put together a bunch of reasons why!
10 Things to consider when planning a city wedding
10 Things to Consider When Planning a City Wedding
Hudson Valley Wedding, Preston Barn at Old Drovers Inn - Jackie & Jimmy
Hudson Valley Wedding, Castle Hotel - Sarah & Jay
Manhattan Restaurant Wedding and High Line Portraits - Amanda & Todd
Amanda & Todd had their restaurant wedding at DEL POSTO, a classic Italian spot in the Chelsea neighborhood of Manhattan, and we did portraits on THE HIGH LINE nearby. They *strategically* went the non-traditional route and decided against having a “wedding party” & formal ceremony. They eloped at city hall a couple days beforehand, in order to free up more time to get to the party! Now THAT’S what I call priorities ;)
They both got ready at THE STANDARD with just their parents and closest friends. The hotel literally cuts right through the High Line, so we ended up doing their first look right below it! It was a SUPER sunny day, but we played with harsh light & shadows left by the Manhattan architecture which made for a really unique look.
Jane's Carousel Wedding - DUMBO Brooklyn, NY - Alison & Jason
Alison & Jason had their wedding reception at the vintage, iconic Jane’s Carousel in Brooklyn Bridge Park in DUMBO. Theirs was not your typical wedding- they scrapped formalities they didn’t need, and added new ones in the most thoughtful, intentional way.
New York Elopement, Hudson Valley Rose B&B - Alison & Jason
Alison & Jason had their intimate wedding at Hudson Valley Rose Bed & Breakfast, with only their parents & brother (who officiated the ceremony) in attendance. I was literally crying as I was editing these, feeling their love as I revisited these special moments from their wedding day.
Dobbin St Wedding - Brooklyn, New York
Berkshires Wedding, Buxton School - Leah & Kevin
Leah & Kevin spent their laid back wedding weekend at the Buxton School in western Massachusetts in the middle of the Berkshires. I was lucky enough to join them for their rehearsal dinner the night before, and crash in the dorms with their family & friends both nights. Everyone was so sweet & welcoming- it really felt like I was photographing a friend’s wedding even though we’d only met in person once before!
