Luda+Bill’s Albany Engagment


Hey everyone, it’s C+W associate shooter and production magician Andrew. Even though it’s winter, we don’t really have much a ‘slow season’, and with everyone’s schedules being everywhere all the time, you gotta thank the universe for giving you a few 40 degree days in January. This was the case with Luda+Bill who are getting married in August! Since Luda is a CPA, she wanted to get as much wedding stuff out of the way before tax day, so here we go!

Stacey+Rich’s Otesaga wedding


Get buckled in because we have a monster blog post from an Otesaga wedding hitting you first thing this morning right between the eyes! You may remember Stacey+Rich from their NYC engagement shoot which we did in the Fall. I feel like I can usually get a pretty good vibe from a couple just from the engagement shoot alone – and when they rented out an abandoned and sick NYC building for us to shoot in I knew it was going to be the start of an awesome relationship! Factor that in with an Otesaga wedding, and her team of vendors… well just check out the images below:

Nice window light, and gorgeous designers – nice way to start the day (other than the snow storm!)

Rich and the guys were holding serve though – his tux fit like a glove and his bow tie was awesome. Rich probably was wondering if I was hitting on him during the wedding but when a guy really gets something custom it shows

David Michael Schmidt from Renaissance Floral Designs absolutely knocked it out of the park on this one. The man is insanely talented anyway, and you see him on this blog a lot….but damn!

As if ALL OF THAT wasn’t enough – yep, it’s time for the sickest backdrop in the history of weddings. Seriously check that thing out!! That’s a blue sheet hung from piping with several rows and layers of hand-cut snowflakes. The layers and different rows give it that dimension the background has.

Thank you to both families for having me, and for allowing me to share in such an awesome event. Seriously you all were awesome, and you had a truly incredible wedding. I’m sincere when I say I feel lucky to have been included. Also a big thank you to the team of pros that I worked with that day – everyone was on tippy top of their game and it was fun to watch. It’s inspiring. And of course Otesaga weddings are some of my favorites (hope to do it again soon Melissa!)

christine wheat: Luke, love the images. The energy on that snowy winter day was magical. From the first meeting with this couple, in NYC, I knew I was going to love them. The bride has a great vision and allowed all of the vendors to bring it to life. Soul Session rocked it, Renaissance made the guests jaws drop when they entered the ballroom, the venue gave premiere service and photography...well what can I say I LOVE the images. Classic and timeless! Great working with you.

Jill+Ali engagement Session in Lenox, Ma.


Yup, it’s cold and snowy here in the East Coast. It’s still real fun to go out and play in the snow and take some photos while you are at it. :) I had a great time with my very smart and funny couple Jill+Ali.

Kristina+Nick Wedding Trailer


I can’t believe the day is finally here, when I get to share this wedding!  I’ve probably watched it 25 times since I finished it because Kristina and Nick’s wedding was not just full of wonderful details and elegance, but laughs and tears that really showed just how much they care for each other, and how their friends and family care for them.

Now you’ve probably seen many of these details in their photo blog, but it took the skill of both Kristina and Nick working with the Katie O’ Events team to bring this all together in a beautiful and unique way. They knocked it out of the park! Katie has a utility belt that would make Batman jealous, that is, if Batman would like to sparkle… But she is always 100% prepared for anything. They way they designed the wedding really characterized their personalities and created the perfect atmosphere that embodied what this day was all about; their complete infectious love for each other!

There is a special ending to this one just as the credits roll, and I want to thank DJ Jeffery Scott for giving me great audio, not just at this wedding, but all year long. Amazing professionalism and F.U.N. fun!

The Dress


As a bride-to-be begins planning her wedding, many thoughts go quickly to the dress. Which style will she wear? What designer will she choose? Will the dress be a statement piece or will it be elegant, yet understated?

As you can imagine, Clark+Walker see a huge variety of dresses every year and we wanted to show you just how stunning they were in 2011. Some of the amazing designers we saw on our C+W brides this year included: Pnina Tornai, Lazaro, Monique Lhuillier, Romona Keveza, Oscar de la Renta, Lea Ann Belter, Lela Rose, Amsale, J.Crew, Vera Wang, Mori Lee, Pronovias, Paloma Blanca, and Blue By Enzoani.

Our brides looked absolutely fantastic this year! They always seem to have a knack for choosing the perfect dress and it truly shows when they step into it for the first time. You looked amazing ladies, your dress choices really showed your class, elegance, and fashionable style!
