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.
