Jenn & John say I do! Saratoga Springs, NY.

Jenn and John were married 7.11.09. They had a very small, intimate wedding, with less than 20 guests. Their wedding was romantic, beautiful, and personalized. I was very impressed with Jenn's planning, from the custom menus to the pianist, every detail was thought of by Jenn personally. She even gave Amy Elizabeth and I cookies, how thoughtful is that!!!

Jenn and John: "It was a pleasure and a privilege to be a part of your wedding day. Enjoy your wedded bliss!"
Much love,
Tracey

Jessica's pre-wedding bridal shoot!

Hi All!
I love it when a bride wants to get together before her wedding for a bridal session! Not only is it an opportunity to do a trial run with full hair, make-up and of course, the dress, it's also a great time to make artistic, beautiful imagery!

As I mentioned before, Jessica will be getting married in Texas 1.2.10. I am honored and thrilled to be traveling to Texas to shoot her wedding. I love the 50's, Grace Kelly feel to Jess's bridal look.

Jess's mom, Heidi, flew in from Texas for the shoot. We had a great time shooting around Saratoga and Lake George.

Special thanks to Amy Elizabeth Smith for her amazing make-up skills and staying on location with us:

No commentary for these images, I think Jess's beauty and personality tell the story.

See you in Texas!

Bridal Portrait sneak peak!

Here is a quick sneak peak from a bridal portrait session with the fabulous Jess! Jess is a law student at Albany Law. She is from Texas and I will be traveling to Texas to shoot her wedding in January. Jess chose to have her bridal portraits done here in NY, lucky me!


A full post from the bridal session coming soon, in the meantime, check out these killer cowboy boots! I will be getting a pair in January, maybe two!

Trash the dress, the day after session....

Hi All,
This is a very special post, with lots of images. My brother got married in June, to my now sister, Kristen! They are an amazing couple! They are both super funny, they are also dorks and I couldn't possibly love them more!

There are four siblings in my family and Andy and I are only 2 years a part. Andy was my best friend growing up and my arch nemesis. He would tickle me until I wet my pants, lock me out of the house in the middle of winter if I dared to sing Poison songs, he would let his friends give me wedgies, and he carved my initials in the piano to try and get me in trouble. But, he was also the brother who protected me all through out high school and threw a certain boy up against a locker when he teased me.

Andy was the last of the four to get married. I am glad he waited, because he met the love of his life. He told me as much after the first time he saw her. This is huge, since Andy is not one to wear his heart on his sleeve.
The first time I met Kristen, we giggled about having the same skirt on and quickly became great friends.

After dating for two years, on a cold, February afternoon, on The Ring of Kerry in Ireland, Andy proposed to Kristen. Fourteen months later, on a warm, Saturday in June, overlooking Lake George,they were married!!!

The day after the wedding, we did a Trash the Dress session in Lake George. Kristen and I were of course pumped to do this shoot, Andy not so much! Therefore, lots of pictures of Kristen and a few of Andy, per his request.

Andy and Kristen: "I love you both very much and could not be happier for you both!"
Much love,
T.

Did I mention this shoot was at Noon the next day, after minimal sleep and a crazy reception the night before? Somehow we managed to pull it off, check it out!!!

Brandy & Jerry-engagment session in the rain!

Brandy and Jerry rocked their engagement session! Brandy requested a "sexy" vibe for their images. I think we accomplished that, with rain that worked in our favor for once!
Brandy and Jerry are from my hometown, Northville, NY. I cannot wait for their Fall wedding. It will be my first wedding in Northville, creating a full circle, from my roots to the present.

Brandy and Jerry: "Thank you for taking risks and getting soaked while I stayed dry!!!"
Much love,
Tracey
