With so many awesome weddings happening local to New England, it's not often I get to hit the road and shoot a true out of town wedding. Brynn and I have a mutual friend from back in our days at the 'Cuse, and when I heard from Brynn's sister Meredith about the wedding they were planning for Saratoga Springs, I jumped at the chance to take my show on the road, if you will.

Brynn and Scott were married in downtown Saratoga with their reception at the gorgeous Canfield Casino (though I have to admit, until the day before the wedding I didn't know it wasn't an actual working casino), and as I think you'll be able to tell by the photos, a good time was had by all. (I'm pretty sure Scott set some records for "largest flying split performed in a tux").  Just as he did the next day for Stefanie and Dante's wedding, I was joined by Ben Burrows and many of his images appear below as well.

Friday afternoon I headed down to Connecticut to meet Jess and Jon for engagement photos at Sleeping Giant State Park. I'd never been there, but they'd scouted out some cool spots beforehand, and both the light and the park turned out to be absolutely gorgeous. I'm pretty sure we only walked, err, hiked through about 1% of the park, but I'd go back in a second. Also, the photos from above on the cliff don't even come close to doing the size of the prospective fall justice. Considering my fear of heights, I'm pretty sure if I'd have gotten closer to the edge I'd have been crawling. After spending a couple hours at the park, we headed off to the beach near where Jon grew up for some great sunset light to close the shoot.

Stefanie and Dante are what you could call, a love story of the modern era - they met online, only to discover that they actually lived on the same street. That encounter started the ball rolling toward what would become last weekend - a gorgeous Alice in Wonderland themed wedding at Connecticut's Lord Thompson Manor. I'd never been there before, but what a gorgeous place to photograph. Undaunted by a forecast that didn't play as nicely as we'd all hoped, Stefanie and Dante rolled with the punches, and we even got some outside time later in the evening for a very memorable sparkler shot that involved Jess running in circles waving stick a'fire. I was joined by Ben for the day, and his images are mixed in below. Frequent readers stay tuned, this space is about to get very busy in the next couple of week.
