You couldln’t have asked for a more beautiful day today, and we used the opportunity to cover a mid-morning & half day wedding with Nicole & Safaraz. After a beautiful ceremony at their church, we headed over to the Glen Sanders Mansion for their reception. Below are a few quick samples from the day, and we look forward to sharing the hundreds of images with all in a couple weeks.

A huge congratulations to Nicole & Safaraz, and wish you all the best in your new marriage together!

P.S. Time to pack up the gear for tomorrow’s bridal show & intimate gathering at the Crooked Lake House….. I’ll have a slideshow on a 40″ plasma and a petting zoo of albums for anyone that feels like coming by to say hello! :)

I’m not really a huge fan of bridal shows (nor do we do them) as I feel often times the brides (& grooms) that go to these types of events don’t get the proper one one one attention from vendors that they deserve……. With saying that and breaking away from the norm, we will be making a rare appearance this Sunday, April 20th at the Crooked Lake House bridal event/intimate gathering in Averil Park. If anyone is interested in coming by to help me keep my sanity while I’m there, looking through some of the albums we offer, viewing the slideshow we’ll have up of recent work, or just coming by to say hello….. I’d love to chat and/or meet you!

The door opens at 12pm and goes til about 2pm. There will be various vendors there to check out, and there is no cost to get in (so you have nothing to lose) – you can learn more about this event at http://www.detailsweddingplanning.com/. I’m sure I can find some cool discounts or perks for those that come say hello!

After a fun night with Shannan & Ricardo (and about 4 hours sleep), Jamaica and I drove to Cooperstown, NY (home of the baseball hall of fame) first thing in the morning, to shoot the wedding of good friends, Aaron & Jenelle. The wedding was held at the Otesaga Hotel, which is in a world of it’s own, and an absolutely amazing place, located right on the water. The hotel is currently closed for the season, however was opened just for Aaron & Jenelle’s wedding, which I thought was pretty cool. For those of you that grew up watching “The Shining,” you’d swear this is the place the movie was shot. The hotel was quiet and for the most part, unoccupied…… I kept thinking I was going to walk around the corner and see the two twin sisters of the shining or a little boy on his hotwheel yelling “red rum, redrum!”

On a serious note, we had a blast and considering I’ve known Aaron for years, it was great to see him marry such a great girl that I know will make him very happy (and vice versa). I’m completely worn out after this weekend, but wanted to post a few photos from the day, while we continue to go through the other hundreds of images.
