WPP Photo of the Week!

I love all weddings, but Saratoga weddings... Ooh, they are special... And Saratoga weddings that use the Saratoga State Park for a photo site? Ahhh... It's one of my favorite spots in the entire world. Hands down. Classic beauty. And a great backdrop for some stunning photos. I mean, take a quick look at this photo and tell me what decade it belongs in. Do you consider more than one??

WPP Photo of the Week!

Today is the first day of fall, and my FAVORITE time of year, so of course I have to post a fabulous fall wedding photo as this week's Photo of the Week. This picture was taken by Hillary Harvey and was at a wedding on the Great Sacandaga Lake on Columbus Day weekend of 2008. The bride had seen a picture of a stunning arch and the Best Man recreated it out of wood in the local area. How gorgeous is that?? The couple kept their guest list small and was under 50 people, and for their bridal party they went with linen pants for the guys and various rich fall colors on satin fabric for the girls. The weather couldn't have been any nicer and we were able to stay outside for photos in the wonderful late fall warmth. I just love this picture because I think it captures the season, the mood, and the couple's simplistic elegance all at once.

With the popularity of the new Rock Band game, I now find that on a daily basis I'm humming a slew of Beatles tunes and itching for a gaming system. I know, you're probably wondering what that has to do with this Photo of the Week. Although some may see it as a stretch, I can't help but think of Abbey Road every time I see this photo from one of my June 2008 weddings. This picture was taken by Niki Rossi - http://www.nikirossi.com/ - and is just simple, uncomplicated and beautiful. This was a very natural and eco-conscious wedding and Niki definitely captured the essence of this couple in photograph form.

This is one of my favorite pictures because it has so much energy and shows all the life and love this bride and groom have for one another. The photographer, Holly Greene of Out of the Ordinary Photography, mixes up the editing with this color splash of her bouquet on the black and white image. I love the way that red color pops. Great pic!

This is a stunning picture of the bride and groom outside their wedding location, the Union Gables B&B in Saratoga Springs. Their photographer, Emma Dodge Hanson, caught the beauty of the couple and of the historic mansion, in the night's twilight. This was a wedding I coordinated back in 2007, and if you ever go into the Gables look for this photo hanging on the wall inside the front parlor.

Who doesn't love a great cake?? This was made by Angelina Tallman (Cakes by Angelina) for a wedding we did last fall on the Sacandaga Lake. This adorable seasonal cake had at least one layer that was a rich chocolate flavor (does that give away the fact that I had a piece??), was covered in a simple white buttercream frosting, and decorated with cute little fondant leaves in shades of browns and oranges. It was just as delicious as it looked! Angelina is a wonderful baker and I recommend her to a lot of my brides - and with cakes that look this cute that taste that good there's no reason not to.

This is one of my favorite photos of all time. This is the bride and groom from a wedding in July 2008 in Saratoga. The photographer was Shannon DeCelle and she really captured the special closeness this couple shared. They were really this cute and loving the whole day, and it was really wonderful to see the care and love to have for each other. Kudos, Shannon! Wonderful shot!!

Everyone - Meet Murphy! Anyone who knows me knows I'm a HUGE dog lover! My baby girl is named Reilly, and she is a 3 year old whippet mix and the absolute love of my life. Laura, my fabulous summer intern, is also a dog lover and because the 'WPP Photo of the Week' idea is hers I had to honor her (and Reilly-boo!) with the first installment of my favorite wedding pictures. :) So... back to Murphy... This dog was the "son" of the bride and groom but because they were married in a church he couldn't be a part of their ceremony. Well, we let Murphy have his fun at the reception as the bride and groom walked him out with them for their introductions and first dance. Doesn't Murphy look sharp in that tux?? I love having animals (aka furry family members) in weddings - and I have more weddings this year who are including their pets in the festivities! So much fun!!
