Matt Ramos Photography – Blog

After two fun days and celebrations with Joe & Monica, and Debby & Dave, we headed into our final day of the 3-in-a-row wedding marathon with Cate & Zach! I’m gonna be honest….. by the time I got to this point, I was just creatively, mentally & physically exhausted – I did my best to hide my exhaustion, and think we got some killer shots from this wedding despite how tired I was! Cate & Zach are another incredible couple that are very much in love and a lot of fun to hang out with – Cate’s father is the nicest guy in the world (and a master gardener I might add), but looks just like the actor, John Voight (Angelina Jolie’s father), which is a bit intimidating – I made sure to stay on his good side :)

Cate & Zach had a beautiful church full mass ceremony at St. Clements in Saratoga, followed by an incredible reception at the amazing Canfield Casino in Congress Park (I posted a an earlier shot of the reception hall 4 blog entrees down if you wish to see it). We were also pleased to work with the New York Players again, who rocked the house and showed everyone how to party. A huge thanks to Cate & Zach as well as their familes for allowing us to spend the day with them and document such a special day. For those that are interested, we’ll have all the images available for online viewing & ordering within a few weeks – you can pre-register your email by clicking the link below to receive automatic notification:

Here are a few samples below from the day I thought I would share – after 3 exhausting days, I’m looking forward to not going anywhere near my camera. Stay tuned and check back for updates….. we have two upcoming weddings this weekend with two more of my favorite couples – check back for lots of samples and updates!

Round two from this weekend was held at the beautiful Glen Sanders Mansion, with newlyweds, Debby & Dave. It was great to finally see the sun come out, which made for a very nice outdoor ceremony right on the water! I was sort of getting used to thinking up umbrella and rain shots – but I’ll take it….. there’s nothing like shooting an outdoor ceremony when you can.

Deb & Dave are a great couple and we had a lot of fun haning out with them and their bridal party – I’m keeping my mouth shut, but there were definitely a few good laughs from the day that we’ll always remember (the guys know what I’m talking about, lol). We’d like to thank Debby & David as well as their familes for allowing us to take part in documenting their big day.

Another 3:30am session for me as I can’t sleep (oh, the joys of being ADHD)….. I figured it’s as good a time as ever to bang out on of my 3 blog entrees I need to do from this weekends weddings! Believe it or not, we had a Thursday wedding this week (don’t see them too often) with Joe & Monica, who were married in their St. Rose Chapel, followed by a beautiful reception at the Franklin Plaza. Joe and Monica are high school sweethearts, who have been together for a long time, so this wedding was very special as they finally tied the knot together :)

For those that attended this wedding, we’ll have all the images from the day/night online for viewing & ordering within about 3 weeks, and you may pre-register your email by simply clicking the link below – you will receive an automatic notification once images go live!

A big thanks to Monica & Joe and their families for allowing us to take part in this event – enjoy the honeymoon, guys! Here are a few quick samples from their day below……

P.S. Who do you think won the cake slam contest? (I think I’m going with Monica on this one) Stay tuned for 2 more entrees tomorrow from the Debby & Dave and Cate & Zach weddings – off to bed!

Oh, and here’s a quick shot of Jamaica helping me to do a few light tests before our formal portraits…. this kid really has the technique down pat – I mean, who needs a light meter when you’ve got a Jamaica with you?

Just so you don’t think I’m kidding – here’s another recent light test he did for me at a shoot at the Capital Building a couple weeks ago – I have no idea what I’d do without this kid to properly meter the light for me. If you see someone doing cartwheels at your wedding, we are just testing the lighting, haha! (and for the record, he’s not the headless horseman) Ok, now I’m really going to bed before I say or do something even more stupid.
