Francesca+Chris Saratoga National


Congrats to Francesca+Chris whom got married at Saratoga National!

It was an international affair with Francesca being from Australia! The couple met in Australia when Chris was out there for work. Francesca was lucky enough to be transferred across to the USA for work a year later and Chris got his very own Australian Souvenir!!! They didn’t want to stress over tiny things, so they hired fabulous vendors and they were able to sit back and party the day away with family and friends. This was for sure one of the most “chill” couples I”ve had in 2012!

Francesca’s mother MADE her wedding dress!

Saratoga National wedding with Heather+Michael


Starting the week off right with a Saratoga National wedding video! We’ve had our share of spring weather for the start of this wedding season, but I don’t think we could have gotten a better day for a wedding video than we did for Heather and Michael’s. On top of having amazing light and weather for this celebration, we also had a killer group of pros kicking with us. David Michael Schmidt from Renaissance Floral Designs, wedding planner Christine A. Wheat, Msgr. Christopher Richard, The New York Players laying down some funk,Make Me Fabulous, and our good friend Jp and Joe Elario from Joe Elario Photography always bring in top notch style. It’s always great working with a great team for my Saratoga National wedding video, because I know I’m going to be able to get the most out of the time we get to spend with the newlyweds.
Also, a big thank you to Tracy and the staff over at Saratoga National Golf Club.

It’s been a pleasure getting a chance to work with you both, thank you so much for allowing me to document your wedding video at the Saratoga National Golf Club!

Laura + AJ – Union College Memorial Chapel


Saratoga National Golf course weddings are some of our favorites! Laura and AJ met while they were students at Union College and after graduating both decided to stick around Albany to stay together. They were engaged five years later and when planning their wedding, they knew they wanted to be married at Union College Memorial Chapel, a beautiful little chapel on campus. They followed the ceremony with a gorgeous reception at Saratoga National, one of our favorite local venues.

We say this all the time, but we just love working with Make Me Fabulous. Our brides love them and always end up looking like a million bucks! Laura was no exception, especially in her drop dead gorgeous dress by Renella de Fina from Lily Saratoga. When Laura found her dress she immediately knew it was the one. She canceled all of her other appointments and let the dress take center stage by planning every other detail of their wedding around it, from the invitations, to the flowers, to the place where she got ready that morning.

Our good friends Rebecca of The Pink Orange and the ladies of Paper Dolls of Saratoga nailed it with the gorgeous stationery and paper goods. As she always does, Kris Ann of Fleurtacious Designs blew us away with the gorgeous flowers.

Laura’s bridesmaids wore navy blue gowns from Alvina Valenta while the guys donned traditional black tuxes. Of course, a classic Clark+Walker group shot was in order for their wedding photos.

With her beautiful gown as her inspiration, Laura planned a classically elegant wedding with romantic, vintage-inspired details. Soft blush pink, champagne and ivory paired with classic navy set the tone and special touches like cute jars of Sundaes Best Hot Fudge Sauce for favors and pink roses on the cake from Mansion Catering ensured no detail was forgotten.
