Everyone loves a Winter Wedding, am I right? There is just something elegant and cozy all at the same time. I was thrilled to photograph Megan and Josh’s Excelsior Springs Winter Wedding in Saratoga NY last winter.
An Elegant Excelsior Springs Winter Wedding
I was excited to photograph this wedding for two reasons–first, it was the first Wedding of 2024. Secondly, I have known Meg’s family and have been photographing them since she was very little. It is really special to watch a family transition through major life events and be able to capture those events for them, and for that I am truly grateful.
Megan and Josh met on a dating app and have known each other about five years. It was really nice for me to be able to meet Josh and get to know him a little bit. They are a very sweet couple and I wish them all the best! Meg has some great advice for Wedding Planning–“I would say when deciding where you want to plan on your wedding it’s best to keep it to a minimum of a few places. That way you don’t get to stressed out when deciding where you want to get married. Maybe keep it to a minimum of 3-5 venues just to make it easier on your selves.” I could not agree more!
A Few Winter Wedding Highlights For Me:
I loved that Meg used her Graandmother’s beaded purse as something old.
Meg’s friend from school helped her get dressed for the wedding at the adjoining hotel.
Classic updo–Love.
I loved this moment when Meg’s brothers saw her for the first time.
How fabulous was this white fur wrap Meg wore? Perfect Winter Wedding accessory.
Classic Black and White–every Bride should have one.
Guys get ready too!
I love using natural window light for portraits on Wedding Days.
The Hotel Lobby was great for family photos–the colors even matched!
Right before the ceremony.
Josh’s Sistere officiated the wedding for our couple.
Dad waliking his daugher in is always a highlight at any wedding.
I prefer to use available light during a wedding ceremony so I can be as unobrusive as possible.
Love capturing the exit from the ceremony–the back of the dress is great.
I loved that we could use the front of the venue for some quick outdoor photos.
If we have time, I like to take a photo of the Bride and Groom in the reception space before the guests come in.
Just a detail from the head table.
Introductions–Yay!
The Father Daughter Dance.
During the Winter, sometimes we need to be flexible and use indoor spaces. I liked this simple spot.
