We officially kicked off the first wedding of 2009 last night, by celebrating and documenting the wedding of Jennifer and Greg. More and more couples are starting to look at winter weddings, which is not only a beautiful time of year, but probably a way to save a few bucks by getting great deals from venues and vendors! The challenge, however is that it’s obviously cold and does get dark early compared to the long light of the summer.
Believe it or not, we were contacted just two weeks ago by Jen & Greg, who were looking to just have 2-3 hours of coverage for some family portraits, etc. (we don’t normally do this, but really liked the couple so was glad to have the opportunity to shoot with them). This was also my first time shooting at the beautiful Inn at Erlowest which lies on the Lake George shore and offers stunning views of the lake and incredible service and food. I hope to work here again and can only image how nice it must be here at the spring or fall – it definitely is a wonderful location for those looking for a fantastic place to get married (you could do the entire thing right here, and not have to have your guests travel at all). I’ve posted a few extra photos of the location so you can get a good look at what it’s like inside and out. I’d also like to give a huge thanks and props to stylist/makeup artist extrordinare, Alayne Curtiss of Make Me Fabulous. Alayne is truly magical at what her and her team do and it’s always such a treat to work with her (Jen doesn’t need much to look beautiful, but with Alayne’s touch, she was truly a breathtaking bride).
I really enjoyed shooting this wedding and was a terrific way to start off the 2009 season. With just under 50 people, it was very intimate and Jen & Greg really made it about their love and a celebration between the closest of family and friends…. their DJ was an Apple iPod, who also did a great job and played such great songs. A huge thanks and congratulations to Jennifer & Greg as well as their family and friends for allowing us to document such a special day.
