Amy & Ron has a great day for a wedding!  The weather was timed perfectly!  We dodged two different rain storms--just before everyone arrived at the church, and it cleared up nicely for everyone to get inside dry.  Then, just after our photo session at the Rose Garden in Schenectady, it poured again as we headed for Glen Sanders Mansion. Again, it cleared up in time for Amy and Ron to get a few portraits at sunset!  Great timing!

Ron adjusting his father (and Best Man) Ron's tie before leaving for the church.
           

                                                        

   Checking out the finishing touches by Tina!                                                      How lucky were we?  This was just 30 minutes before everyone began arriving at the church!

 Daughter Aryanna admiring her Mom's beauty.

 Amy with her ladies leaving Glen Sanders for the church!

 Dad seeing his beautiful daughter as a bride.

   Ron waiting for his bride...

 Aryanna, walking (or dragging) 'ring bearer' Little Ronnie down the aisle. He was much more comfortable with this the night before at rehearsal without all these people!!

Ron, realizing how lucky he is!

 "Why are you looking at me like that"??  LOL

 Aryanna did an awesome job with one of the readings during the ceremony.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                           

 Then, it was off the Rose Garden for an abbreviated photo session with another storm approaching. 

 Now for the entire wedding party on the bridge!

 And, another of this awesome group!  Check out that threatening sky!

Arriving at Glen Sanders!

Amy & Ron wanted a quick session at Sunset on the River at Glen Sanders Mansion.

 Their cake topper. OK you guessed it, Ron is a firefighter with the City of Amsterdam.

First dance....

Father-daughter dance!

 Mother-Son dance...

We ducked out for a few minutes a quick shot under the Gazebo!

 Before everyone headed home, a little more to eat with Glen Sanders' mini hamburg and french fries!
  Last dance of the evening with the new Mr. & Mrs.  

Thank you Amy & Ron.  We had a lot of fun working with you!  Thanks for trusting your day of Wedding Photography to Susan Knott Photography.

Wedding Photography, Saratoga-Springs-NY-National Dance Museum-Crystal-Frank

August 04, 2015  •  Leave a Comment

Last summer, we were waiting in Congress Park to meet an out of town couple for an engagement session.  It was our first meeting with this couple, so we were waiting for someone to find us, the ones with the camera gear.   Crystal was walking by with her dog, Shadow, and asked if I was a photographer. I said "Are you (future bride's name)?"  Crystal said no, and we explained why we were there.  She said, "Well I'm getting married next summer and I'm looking for a wedding photographer, do you have a business card?"  We talked for a few minutes then, and later Crystal called me and agreed to meet with her fiancé Frank.  The rest is on this page!  Soooo Happy that we met that day.  We actually met for two different engagement sessions because they had so much fun!  Crystal & Frank's wedding was fun, relaxed and elegant.

The wedding took place at the beautiful National Dance Museum in Saratoga Springs, NY.  Such a beautiful warm day, the ceremony took place in the courtyard, and everyone went inside for the reception.

122918_DSC6578122918_DSC6578 123232_DSC0577123232_DSC0577 124024_DSC6599124024_DSC6599 Everyone prepared for the day at the Hilton Garden Inn in Saratoga Springs.

124912_DSC6617124912_DSC6617 125544_DSC6626125544_DSC6626 132920_DSC0604132920_DSC0604 Frank called Crystal just before she was ready to leave, saying that he's looking forward to seeing her!

134414_DSC6676134414_DSC6676 Their "First Look" was planned at the Hall of Springs nearby, so the limo took the guys over first so that Jon could take some groomsmen photos. 

135931_DSC0638135931_DSC0638   And I stayed for a few personal photos of Crystal in her suite. 

134828_DSC6690134828_DSC6690 134916_DSC6695134916_DSC6695 Frank was getting a little anxious waiting for his bride, but the guys had time to help him chill.

140750_DSC0655140750_DSC0655 131033_DSC0582131033_DSC0582  Then, it was 'show-time'!  Frank's anticipation is running high now. 

142549_DSC6734142549_DSC6734 142550_DSC0671142550_DSC0671  And Frank turns and sees Crystal in her dress for the first time.  Frank=Happy!

142613_DSC6737142613_DSC6737 142618_DSC6740142618_DSC6740 142639_DSC0680142639_DSC0680

 It was time for some formal portraits of the husband and wife to be.  Some couples are very traditional and do not want to see each other until the ceremony and that's perfectly understandable.  But, for those who do choose the First Look option and plan for some time before the ceremony, we have more time to create some very memorable photos. Crystal and Frank have no shortage of photos before the ceremony.

154050_DSC6948154050_DSC6948 Everyone is ready and waiting...

161008_DSC0739161008_DSC0739  Shadow also makes an appearance.  She stood up with all their friends and family and witnessed her 'Mom and Dad' get married.

163302_DSC0762163302_DSC0762 163709_DSC7031163709_DSC7031 And, they're husband and wife!

164323_DSC7072164323_DSC7072 180952_DSC7174180952_DSC7174  As there is for so many celebrations today, there was lots of choreography as the wedding party was introduced.

185315_DSC0895185315_DSC0895  Together with DJ Mike Napoli, Crystal and Frank played The Shoe Game.

185759_DSC7304185759_DSC7304  Mike asked the entire group of family and friends to make it to the dance floor for a group photo!

200200_DSC0913200200_DSC0913  Frank is so serious and careful when he cuts the wedding cake.

203117_DSC0948203117_DSC0948  And then, the fun begins!

203509_DSC7398203509_DSC7398 203756_DSC0958203756_DSC0958  Frank & the guys met outside for a bit for cigars and stories about when they met Frank and the fun they had.

205737_DSC0987205737_DSC0987  Toward the end of the evening, everyone was dancing...and singing!

213223_DSC7515213223_DSC7515

 And Frank was surrounded by all these beautiful women, he really hated that....

Crystal, we're so glad you took Shadow for a walk that day in the park!  So much fun working with you and Frank. Enjoy wedded bliss forever!
