I recently photographed a wedding of a college friend of mine up at Lake George. Specifically, we were at The inn at Erlowest, a castle build on the edge of the lake.

We stayed at one of the townhouses on the left.
My bride Leslie was so gracious and paid for me and my wife, my second photographer, to stay the night. We got in pretty late, but we could still see how beautiful the lake was with the star riddled sky as a night light. It was still beautiful. We had a little patio so I stood in the cool air for a bit and watched the dark lake rest before I did the same.
The day of the wedding was absolutely beautiful, expect for maybe the direct sun that joined us but I wont focus on that too much.
What I will focus on is this couple.
Leslie’s been a friend ever since we met during our first year at SUNY Morrisville. She was part of a gang of architects who I quickly became close with. She has always been focused, driven, and light hearted.
I first met Brian back when I photographed another college friend’s wedding whom me and Leslie and are both friends with. Like Leslie, he is a pretty chill dude.
Leslie and Brian are two peas in a pod. Organized. Detail oriented. Laid back and we’re ready to just enjoy their wedding day, and that they did.
As a wedding photographer, you’re up in the nitty gritty and seeing everything from a closer than bird’s eye view. I can tell you there were absolutely no hiccups during the day. Nothing to trip anybody up. If anything, we sometimes had too much time on our hands, that helped a lot with making sure we got details and candids.
By the way, I love my wife so much as my second. She truly isn’t afraid to ask strangers for photos and to work for my couples. I couldn’t ask for anyone better.
My wife is also my practice subject before I put my couples in place. Thanks, love!
I couldn’t ask for a better coupe either, and I appreciate them for allowing me the honor of being there for their wedding. I always have to give thanks to my couples. It means so much to have them allow us to be a small part of their wedding day and to preserve their special day the way me and my wife do.
