Matt Ramos Photography – Blog

I’ve spent the entire day installing new hardwood floors (not done yet) and just realized I hadn’t done my promised blog entry!  It’s about 2am, and I figured I’d better get this done before I  go to bed…….. 

One of the most anticipated weddings of the year was that of Kristen & Mike, and Jessica, Jamaica and I had an absolute blast being a part of such a special day!  What made this wedding special is that we are shooting 3 weddings from the same family within about a year’s time, so it’s so great to see others we know and have or will get to work with.  Kristen is awesome, and Mike hysterical to be around (and borderline insane?) – on a serious note, we had a ton of fun working with them as well as their bridal party that was willing to do pretty much all of my crazy ideas in the rain to make the day that much more special.

After a beautiful ceremony at St. Clements Church in Saratoga, we headed too the beautiful Canfield Casino, where Classe Catering worked their magic with amazing food and service, while DJ hall of famer, Paul Malo rocked the casino and was the life of the party!  A huge thanks to Kristen & Mike as well as their entire family and friends for allowing us to be a part of such a special day.  For those interested, you can pre-register your email at the link below to receive automatic notification of when images go live in about 30 days:

Here are a few of my favorite samples & images from the day – be sure to leave some love below….. I’m sure the bride and groom would love some comments!

For all those that thought rain could ruin your wedding day, this photo just proved you wrong – love this one!

Hands down, my favorite shot from the entire wedding – wow!

Groom/Brother & 2 sisters….. We are shooting all 3 weddings so this is a special photo!

I couldn’t decide on what I wanted the caption to be on this one….. anyone wish to take a stab!?

Last night was a lot of fun, and I wanted to take a minute to post just a quick teaser from the Kristen & Michael wedding last night in Saratoga….. check back later for a full blog entry with lots more samples and a link to their online event!

Since so much of my life and work has to do with weddings these days, it’s nice to take the time each year to celebrate and remember my own!  I was going to post some horrible photos from our wedding day (sore subject), but I can’t seem to find them at th moment – maybe later.  Today is Tonya and my 4th anniversary (although it seems like it should be 10 already).  We haven’t killed each other yet and she’s still my best friend & favorite wife in the whole world! :)

Happy anniversary, Babe – where are you taking me to dinner tonight?

P.S. I’m not sure why, but the top picture makes it look like I have a mohawk for some reason – here’s proof that I didn’t below!  (although, that may be a good look for me for a future haircut, we’ll see – lol)

Now that Fall is just a couple days away, the weather has been absolutely perfect, and you couldn’t have asked for a nicer day to have or shoot a wedding yesterday!  Jamaica and I got back into the wedding scene after a couple weeks off, and had the extreme pleasure of working with and capturing the the wedding of Jaime & Jon.  Although I have been there before, this was my first time photographing a wedding at the Pruyn House, and other than the bus that was determined to ruin my photos in the background (eeeeeek!), it was a beautiful place for a wedding, with nice scenery and flowers – for those looking for something outdoors, this might be a place you may want to check out.

Jon & Jaime make an amazing couple, and I really enjoyed being able to document such as special day, as well as hang out with their family and bridal party!  For those interested, you can pre-register your email at the link below to receive notification of when images go live – a huge thanks and congrats to Jaime & Jon – all the best in your new marriage!

(I’m glad the bus was able to find such a great parking spot)
