I’m excited to show you the images of Kate+Josh on a warm but breezy June day! Their State Room wedding in Albany NY was gorgeous and it was great to watch the vision come together.
Early on in the planning process Kate wrote down key words: traditional, soft, romantic, elegant, classy, pinks and creams, and simple. Kate tried to stick to that vision throughout the whole process. Kate says having them written down was a constant reminder and helped her stay focused on what we really wanted. I love the June rose bushes to match! Couldn’t of planned it better!

Hair by April and Co.  and make up Flawless by Tina are some of the best in Albany area! Good choice Kate!

Love this look of dad and bride right before walking down the aisle!

I’m really excited to share this beautiful winter wedding at The State Room in Albany, NY. The recipe for this holiday favorite was another beautiful C+W bride, a photogenic group, beautiful light, props rented from an antiques dealer, and a little cooperation from Mother Nature. Winter weddings aren’t nearly as popular in Upstate NY as you might think, but weddings like this show us how awesome they can be.

Another amazing job with the bouquet by Ambiance Florals.

Our brides make us look good!

One of my favorites on the left, the car fit the theme and feeling of the wedding perfectly.

How cute were these shoes that matched the bow ties and cumber buns

You can see Dave get emotional as he greets his new wife for the first time

Johanna also had a really great idea for portraits. We headed over to Silver Fox Antiques and borrowed some of their amazing antiques. We borrowed a row of stadium seating, as well as these very ornate silve chairs, that had ram heads decorating them. How cool is that?!

There is a lot of character in these buildings in the warehouse district in downtown Albany. It makes for some awesome photos for sure!

Johanna had this set up done at the antique shop for us to use… our brides are the best

This was my first time at The State Room on State Street in Albany. Johanna really did a neat job picking out unique seating arrangement cards, and the little thank you gift boxes were also very refreshing.

Throughout the course of the day you were really able to feel the immense love and excitement Johanna’s family was all sharing. Her father and sister were glowing all day!

It’s not a party until you get head stands on the dancefloor

Here were the ingredients for this holiday dish:

Dress: Alvina Valenta
Hair/makeup: Rita Di Mura, Metamorphose Salon
Bridesmaid dresses: Lord & Taylor
Flowers: Ambiance
Entertainment: City Rhythm (New York Players)

How did you meet? Do you have a special proposal story? -
We met in midtown in NYC- we lived in adjacent buildings and our interior windows faced each other through the airshaft! Dave stuck a note on my window one day and as they say, the rest is history…

What is your inspiration when planning your wedding?
Focus more on style and home decor than typical “wedding” things

We had a great time and everything went perfectly!!!
