Natasha & Mike / A Lake Placid Winter Engagement Session

Matt Ramos — Mon, 30 Jan 2012 22:50:34 +0000

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…..

Top Wedding Images of 2011 / New York Weddings

Matt Ramos — Tue, 20 Dec 2011 23:30:45 +0000

Wow – 2011 shaped up to be without a doubt, one of our most amazing years of weddings yet, and I’m not only thankful for the amazing clients we’ve had the opportunity to work with, but also extremely proud of my entire team for all their hard work and dedication – I could not do what I do without them. We shot close to 50 weddings this year and there’s nothing more rewarding than going back and looking at all the images we’ve been able to create over the past 12 months! We’ve put together a bit of a compilation of some of our favorite images from the year below. A few quick things I want to mention before you scroll down are:

1 – There are close to 130 photos in this blog post all together, so I ask for your patience and forgiveness for any load time issues – I promise, it will be worth the wait!
2 – All photos were voted upon by our team as a group rather than just myself personally – please don’t be upset with me if a specific image was not chosen!
3 – Images were chosen on a wide variety of items from overall creativity, lighting, amazing moments, weather challenges, etc.
4 – If you are interested in looking at our previous year’s “best of” images you can check them out here: 2009, 2010.
5 – We would love your feedback below on which is your favorite, or you can visit our Facebook Page to do the same! :)

Enjoy and check back in a few days to see the top engagement images of 2011 as well!

Brittany & James Engagements / Upstate NY Photographer

Matt Ramos — Fri, 18 Nov 2011 16:38:15 +0000

I first met Brittany over the phone earlier this year, and was so honored to have her book our services for her wedding day before she even had the wedding date or venue picked out (yikes!) After getting to know her a bit over a few phone conversations, I knew her and James would be amazing and lots of fun to work with. When we met for the first time in person to shoot their engagement photos, I was greeted with a box of homemade cookies (amazing by the way!) and a hug…. talk about an amazing start to things! 20 minutes into the shoot their keys got locked in the car and we had to call AAA and they were so cool about the entire situation and we just kept shooting like nothing happened, lol. Definitely a day we won’t forget and looking forward to spending time with them again next year on their wedding day! We had an amazing afternoon and evening of gorgeous light to work with and wanted to share a few quick favorites from their session….

P.S. for you “blog stalkers” (I hate that word), we have more great stuff coming up soon, so check back in a couple days for more!
