Congrats to Nichole+Luke


This past weekend I had the honor of photographing Nichole+Luke’s Saratoga Springs wedding at the Hall of Springs. Honestly going into wedding weekends all of us here at clark+walker are excited because we get the chance to create something new, something fresh, and push ourselves. However when you are going to shoot at one of your favorite venues, with awesome weather, a couple that you know is going to be great to work with, and an all-star cast of professionals then you wake up borderline giddy. That was me on Saturday. As soon as Nichole told me she hired Christine Wheat to plan her wedding I knew we were going to be walking into a gorgeous event. Then I show up in the morning to have Alayne from Make Me Fabulous doing her hair+make up and one of my favorite videographers Al Woodard shooting along side me.

I loved the room they picked out at the Gideon Putnam Hotel, it was a massive suite. This shot of Nichole on the left is so cute, you can always tell once the dress gets on that it hits people that they really are getting married.

Check out this bouquet by David Michael Schmidt over at Renaissance Floral Design. We’ve worked with David the last 2 weekends in a row and he continues to blow us away.

We had some beautiful light in the church and since my fabulous guest shooter Tiffany Wayne sings in the choir we had some free reign to move around

What C+W wedding would be complete without a fun bridal party shot? Luckily we had an awesome crowd.

LOVE, LOVE, love the room at the Hall of Springs. It’s always the bomb but this was just amazing. Huge props again to Renaissance Floral Design for my favorite head table arrangement to date

The table cards by The Pink Orange were gorgeous and Coccadotts nailed the cake

As I said, best head table ever. I tip my hat to the couple, it takes a lot to really impress us and they did it all day on Saturday. Clifton Park Rental is always on their game and the cigar roller was a great addition (and very popular).

As if this cake wasn’t beautiful enough, they also had an amazing dessert spread with a variety of goodies including my favorites – trio of sorbet and fresh bananas foster!
