The Wedding Day

Walking into the Ausable Club, on the morning of Molly and Ryan’s wedding day, you could almost reach out and touch the history of the beautiful lodge that hung heavy in the air. An Ausable Club Wedding is amazing for so many reasons! The history of Ausable Club holds a special place in Molly’s heart which made the day even more meaningful. Both Molly’s grandparents and parents celebrated their marriages by spending their Honeymoon at the Ausable Club! A wedding at the Ausable Club is always beautiful and I was so thrilled to photograph their day for them!

Inside the front door, what caught my eye in a room of beautiful details, were the simple black and white images in silver frames of her mother, grandmother and great grandmother’s wedding portraits. I believe we take photographs on wedding days so that the joy and love that was felt during the big moments and all the ones in-between, can be held onto for years and generations to come.

 

“As we grow older together, as we continue to change with age, there is one thing that will never change…I will always keep falling in love with you.”  – K. Clodfelder

 

Classic, Elegant and Timeless

Molly and Ryan’s wedding, in the heart of the mountains, was classic, romantic and beautiful throughout the entire day. I am so glad that Molly and Ryan decided to do a first look on their wedding day. Molly looked absolutely stunning and I am pretty sure Ryan’s eyes doubled in size when he saw her float down the cabin steps. Doing a first look allowed time for us to take some amazing pictures before their ceremony.

When we planned their wedding day timeline we made sure to set aside time before the ceremony to drive down to the Boathouse on the Lower Ausable Lake nestled between the mountains. We had beautiful weather and I am so glad that Molly and Ryan were up for an adventure before they said their vows overlooking Giant Mountain.

Every detail of the day was thought through by Molly, Ryan, and their families to make sure that their closest friends and family enjoyed the day as much they did. Their wedding celebration was magical from the cocktails, to the breathtaking flowers, to the heartfelt speeches and first dance with the perfect dip at the end, was classically beautiful, joyful and heartfelt through and through. Thank you for inviting me into your wedding day and allowing me to capture it for you, Molly and Ryan : )

Kind Words

“We booked Julia for our Adirondack wedding and she honestly blew us away. From the start, she was organized and responsive to all our questions. On the day of, Julia and her assistant Kevin arrived and got to work without any instruction from me.

We decided to add on extra time and I am so glad we did! We have such an incredible variety of couple portraits at different locations. Julia is so encouraging and positive, she makes you feel like a supermodel. But she also gives everyone gentle suggestions of where to put their hands or what stance to be in so that everyone looked perfect.

Everyone in my family raved about how wonderful she was. Her assistant Kevin was the perfect addition as he was non-intrusive and got some great shots at different angles. The final edited photographs are stunning – she captured every moment and detail perfectly. Her editing style is to enhance the natural look, so nothing is overly saturated or fake looking in photos.

Julia was reasonably priced and I would say she was overall the best of all our wedding vendors. From start to finish she was professional, helpful, courteous, and the final photos surpassed our expectations. I would highly encourage you to schedule a phone call with her to talk through your wedding details and then book her asap! – Molly and Ryan

A Romantic Canfield Casino New Year’s Eve Wedding

Canfield Casino New Year’s Wedding is such an amazing celebration for a wedding. I was thrilled when Mary Kate and Cristian reached out about photographing their wedding day. Saratoga Springs is one of my favorite upstate NY towns. The Canfield Casino is one of the most beautiful venues in Saratoga. Their wedding was classic and timeless but infused with so much fun. It truly was one of my favorite weddings to be a part of.

Canfield Casino New Years Eve Wedding 0705 - A New Year's Eve Wedding at the Canfield Casino

Canfield Casino New Year’s Wedding is already an event to remember, but it becomes a true story of romance and elegance when it’s held at such a historic building.

The Canfield Casino is a stunning venue located in the heart of Saratoga Springs, New York. The historic building was built in the 1800s and is known for its intricate architecture and beautiful gardens. The Canfield Casino has been a popular venue for weddings for many years, and it’s easy to see why. The building’s charm and elegance make it the perfect place to start your new life together as Husband and Wife.

The bride wore a classic white wedding gown paired with Manolo Blahniks and a lace cathedral-length veil. The groom was dressed in a sharp black tuxedo. Their timeless style was the perfect match for the elegant surroundings. The bride’s bouquet of white roses adds a touch of natural beauty to the already stunning venue. The wedding flowers designed by Fleurtascious Designs of Saratoga throughout the venue were stunning. Soft light and candlelight created a warm and inviting experience from the minute guests walked inside for cocktail hour. The couple had chosen a color scheme of white and gold with disco balls throughout to make sure it felt like the party it was!

A Reception with a Live Band and Fireworks

As the night went on, the couple danced to the sound of a live band, surrounded by friends and family. The wedding guests were even surprised by an amazing fireworks display from the balcony.

Despite the rainy weather outside, the bride and groom’s wedding day at the Canfield Casino was a truly unforgettable event. Their classic style and the elegance of the venue made for a stunning celebration of love and commitment. This New Year’s Eve wedding was the perfect start to a new chapter in their lives, filled with love, happiness, and timeless memories.

A Saratoga National Luxury Spring Garden Wedding

A Saratoga National Luxury Spring Garden Wedding

A Saratoga National spring wedding that was as beautiful as it sounds. Memorial Day weekend is the start of the wedding season in upstate New York. I could not have imagined a better wedding than Adele and Luke’s at the Saratoga National Golf Course.


Their wedding day was filled with joy, love, and incredible energy, but there was also remembrance and gratitude for those now resting in honored glory. Captain Luke Miller and Adele truly found ways to honor those who had served and given the ultimate sacrifice.

Their beautiful spring wedding started with the ceremony at Saint John’s church in Schenectady, NY. Saint John’s was one of the most magnificent churches I have been fortunate to photograph ceremonies in. The architecture and domed ceiling were stunning. But what was really beautiful was the two people saying their vows. I love beautiful details and gorgeous spaces, but what I love the most are the moments that make up the wedding day. And seeing Luke and Adele be so present and excited about exchanging their vows was magical.

The Wedding Reception

After the ceremony, we made our way to the equally gorgeous Saratoga National Golf Course. The Saratoga National wedding venue truly has it all. The vision that Kelly Strong Events brought to fruition for Adele, Luke, and their families is was beyond breathtaking. Adele had envisioned a garden-inspired wedding reception that was romantic and fresh. The team at Renaissance Floral Design truly worked their magic in creating a space that took your breath away.

In the words of Adele, “Romantic, Patriotic, Partyyyyyy” was the inspiration, and I think that was exactly their wedding day.

Heartfelt speeches, a beautiful sunset, fireworks lit up the sky, and dancing into the night rounded out the night. I don’t think anything could have been added to make a more memorable day for Adele and Luke. Thank you to the amazing team below for making their Saratoga National Spring Wedding a success.

An Upstate New York Wedding at Family Camp on Long Lake

Is there anything more special than having your wedding at your family’s Adirondack camp? Danae and Russ had the most amazing summer lake wedding on the shores of Long Lake in the Adirondacks. Danae and Russ had to pivot their wedding with COVID, and they did it with grace. I loved that they chose Danae’s family’s lake house in the heart of the Adirondacks.

Their day was so incredibly special. Danae and Russ were able to get ready at the neighboring private great camp. Each floor of the camp had charming and warm interiors that matched the feel of the morning so beautifully. One of my favorite photos is of Danae getting into her wedding dress with her mom. The bride’s gorgeous Jimmy Choos are proof that you can have a mix of elegant luxury and Adirondack charm on your wedding day.

Danae and Russ had their first look on the front lawn of the great camp. We then walked down to the water for portraits on the dock before the ceremony. The fresh smell of pine and the crisp breeze off the water was the perfect touch to the lake ceremony. I loved the intimate feel of their wedding with only their closest family and friends in attendance. A summer lake wedding is such a classic Adirondack vibe that it will always feel effortless.

What makes a summer lake wedding in the Adirondack even more special? How about a sunset boat cruise to top off the night? I loved this little surprise for Danae at the end of an amazing wedding day. Bare feet and wedding dresses will always be perfect at a lake wedding!
