Caroline and Tom wear big smiles and have the biggest hearts, and I think you’ll easily be able to see that here in this Otesaga wedding in Cooperstown. You might even recognize them from their wedding photo blog that was posted a few weeks ago.

We had a great time spending the day with them, and just can’t be happier for the two of them.

Thank you both so much for having us at your Otesaga wedding in Cooperstown NY and allowing us to capture the video!

I’m excited to show you this baseball themed wedding of Rochelle+AJ in where else? The Otesaga Resort in Cooperstown, NY of course! If it seems like we’ve been there a lot this wedding season… you’re right! Maybe we should just get a C+W suite at the Otesaga??

They met playing softball, they are both massive Yankees fans, and having a wedding at The Otesaga Resort Hotel seemed natural.
We haven’t seen these awesome shoes from Mr Choo this year, but I love them!

Love all the little baseballs!

Rochelle+AJ love to play video games together so naturally Rochelle got AJ some mushroom cufflinks

 
I’m really loving this porch

A beautiful bride and sexy details never hurt too :)

Nice view to walk down the aisle to at The Otesaga Resort Hotel.

Rochelle+AJ’s furbabies were very important to them and the pups made the cutest ring barriers.

A home run with these custom baseball bats as groomsmens gifts.

Rochelle had her hair change for the reception/sun set wedding photos! Love that!

 
The grounds are a great spot for wedding photography

NY Yankee’s cake!

Each table was a different team!

A few dance lessons at the Albany ballroom social dance studio for the first dance!

Carolyn+Mark’s wedding in Cooperstown is a great story of two people that met online, feel in love, and created a new family. I’m not going to lie to you, this one is going to be a bit of a tear jerker, but it is because the connection between Mark, Carolyn and his daughter Alli, is remarkable.  The three shared in each part of the wedding together at the Farmers Museum, from the ceremony to the reception. Allison got her own ring and vows, and also her own first dance with Dad, that frankly left this cinematographer holding back tears as I was filming it all. It was simply amazing to be apart of.

There are a couple of cool venues we got to be at for this wedding. The Farmers Museum and the Otesaga, which is just down the road from the Museum in Cooperstown. It was both elegant and rustic, which I think fits both of Carolyn+Marks personalities well, and what they wanted out of their wedding. Photographers Daria and Andy from dariabishop, worked along side us, to get the most out of each location. From the first look at the Otesaga, to the carousel at the Farmers Museum. We had a real blast creating this Cooperstown wedding video!

Congratulations on your wedding and thanks again for allowing us to be your Cooperstown wedding videographer.

Congrats to Caroline+Tom who had a joyful wedding at the Otesaga Resort in Cooperstown! This quaint little town is one of my favorites places for wedding photos – you have an amazing venue, fences, hills, fields, and a lake.  What more could I ask for?!

The bride and groom met at a St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital event where the groom was a volunteer event chair and the bride worked in fundraising for the hospital.

Loved this Melissa Sweet dress. Still really bummed Priscilla of Boston went under.

Quite the little sweet spot on the balcony of the Otesaga for our wedding photos!

Secret little spots around the Otesaga for this wedding

First look time!

I LOVED these bridesmaids dresses! So unique! I’m glad Caroline added a little “NYC” at her wedding!

I just HAVE to show you the back too!

Cooperstown in general is just an awesome place

Caroline was all about the famous CW dock shot!

The backdrops were perfect for wedding photos

Caroline works for St. June Children’s hospital so natural a donation as favors was a great idea!

Shake it girl!

Thank you both so much for having us at your Otesaga wedding in Cooperstown!

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!)

Another hot C+W bride (no, it never gets old)

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

I’m always sneaking around looking for moments like these

It was very snowy outside so we wanted to stay a little warm, even if it was just for a minute

But you know I have to go outside! Cmon now. Christine Wheat was there to make me look once again

A couple of my favorites – absolutely in love with these images

Afterward we headed over to the Farmers Museum to hit up some of their great locations

Yes this is a devoted wedding party, I’m not sure it ever got above 15 or 16 degrees the entire time we were outside

This tree with hanging snowflake table cards was a huge hit

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!

I wasn’t the only one impressed :))

Otesaga weddings look amazing

I love this moment during one of the toasts

Dancing the night away with Soul Session

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!)
