Samantha and Ryan Wedding

Samantha and Ryan were married in Stuyvesant Falls, New York, which is just about 10 miles from where I live. The ceremony and reception was at Samantha's parent's home. Backyard weddings in Columbia County are just fabulous. The weather always seems to be perfect, the tents are elegant and the local food is delicious.

 We were able to spend a few minutes down at a nice little bridge within walking distance from the wedding site for some portraits. Since Ryan is a former punk rock drummer, the tattoos at this wedding from guests and wedding party alike were definitely memorable.

Christie and Allen Wedding

Christie and Allen celebrated their marriage on August 28 in Saratoga, New York, with a ceremony at a Baptist Church, photos around Congress Park, and a reception at the Italian-American Society. Two great things about this wedding were that is was completely casual (Christie and Allen changed out of the formals half way through the reception... check out Allen's t-shirt) and that at the reception there was horseshoes, volleyball and karaoke for the guests. Much fun! Oh, did I mention the chainsaw cutting of the cake?
