Late Fall on the Lake.

Rounding out the Fall wedding season were the nuptials of Julia and Rich. When Julia and Rich first contacted me about photographing their wedding it was going to be at the Bates Mansion in the middle of the summer and I unfortunately had already booked the date. Well, as luck would have it, the location and date changed - Late Fall & Lake George. Perfect, I had the date open and the location, the Inn at Erlowest was stunning.

When my assistant Kaht and I first met Rich the afternoon of the wedding he was a little on edge but after finding his iPod and chilling out to a little Dylan, things were back on the straight and narrow and he and Julia were ready for their "first look".



After the first look we had time for some cool portraits around the Inn.




Waiting for the ceremony to start.

And as a treat while we were heading out the door - fresh baked doughnuts - so good! Kaht North Photo.

Right Down the Road - Part II.

I could have walked.  Thats how close my next wedding was to my office.  The wedding of Sarah and Brian took place at the Woodstock Country Club.  Fall was in full swing, the trees popping with color, cool refreshing breezes, and the village of Woodstock overflowing with tour busses full of leaf peepers and a chili cook-off on the village green.  Sarah had gotten ready early and like many B&G's these days, they chose to forgo the more traditional "can't see the bride till the ceremony".  This allowed extra time to get some cool portraits in and around the Woodstock Inn and in the Village.  Always fun running around town with a Bride and Groom - makes everyone happy, complete strangers wishing good luck and telling the Bride how beautiful she looks.  After the portraits were done we headed to the Woodstock Country Club for ceremony and reception.
