We had a cold yet incredible engagement session with Natasha & Mike this weekend up in beautiful Lake Placid, NY – it was well worth the trip and am really excited to share some of the images from the shoot.  Natasha & Mike are getting married this year at Saratoga National, but we did some of our shooting all around the Whiteface Lodge and around town a bit.  You couldn’t ask for a nicer couple to work with and they were such troopers (even out on the freezing cold lake).  It was an awesome experience all around and am looking forward too working with them on the big day as well.  Below are a few of my favs from the day.

A huge thanks to April from A&Co for doing an amazing job on Natasha’s hair & makeup!

wow – seriously, who gets to ride on the dogsled during an engagement session!?

and I leave you with a quick one I pulled over on the ride home for…..

After recently posting our top wedding images of 2011,  I am also excited to share with you some of our top engagement images of 2011!  It’s so hard to narrow down photos as I want to post everything, but we had to draw the line somewhere.  Again, a few quick things…

1 – I’m sorry for load times, please be patient and hopefully you’ll ind it’s worth the wait! ;)
2 – photos were voted between our team, not necessarily selected by me, so please don’t yell at me if your shot wasn’t selected

I hope you’ll enjoy these images and look forward to working with our future couples next year!  This is also my last blog post for a few weeks, so I want to wish everyone a very Merry Christmas/Happy Holidays & a very Happy New Year.  I look forward to 2012 and the upcoming new wedding season!

Which is your favorite!?

I recently had the distinct honor and privilege to shoot the 10 year anniversary photos for my good friends, Jen & Chris Sawicki.  Chris (& Jen) have quite a success story, and one of the biggest names in the Capital Region when it comes to creative images (especially his senior portrait, model & wedding work).  I have really enjoyed getting to know Chris over the past few years and proud to call him a good friend (I’m also extremely pleased to have Chris on our wedding team).  I was both slightly stressed, yet extremely honored when I was asked to photograph their 10 year anniversary images for them last year (it’s not exactly easy when you have to photograph an amazing photographer).  We recently had our shoot and couldn’t be more pleased with some of the awesome images we were able to create to document this important milestone in their lives and marriage.  Jen is stunningly beautiful, and the two together were amazing to work with.

You can view some of Chris’ amazing work on his website at www.sawickistudios.com – I wanted to share just a few of my favorite images from their shoot.  Congrats guys, I can’t wait to do it again in another ten years!

Chris is known for his amazing lighting and dramatic work – I decided to try and give him a taste of his own medicine ;)
