I have been working on putting together a new website for about a year. I knew it had to be done because our old site was flash and not accessible from iphones and ipads,  but it was easy to put off. I spent quite a while looking at other photography websites as well as websites from different types of businesses.  I researched options at photo shows and on line. I finally decided that I would be happiest if I could have a site that I could add to or change whenever I wanted without waiting for some one else to do it for me. (Such as a web designer or even our web host company). So once again I have had to teach myself- with a little help from my friends-a new program. I am happy enough with it as it is now, but I know that if I need to make a change or want to put up a new product line it can be done in my time. So scroll through all the different pages, check out the blog, look at all the pretty pictures and let me know what you think. If you see what you like and would like us to photograph your family, wedding or other event, please give us a call or use our contact form. We’d love to hear from you.

We were really excited to work with Emily and Taylor for their Cooperstown wedding. We had photographed their engagement session at the Fenimore House and the Farmer’s museum in October  and were looking forward to returning to those same gorgeous venues the following summer.  They were both so much fun and so obviously in love, it made for some truly amazing wedding photos.149

This is a perfect image for a 30×40 in a grand hall. I need a bigger studio!

 

The reception was held at the Jones Center located on the grounds of the Cooperstown Farmer’s Museum. This grand entrance set the tone for the rest of the evening.

Emily and Taylor, Thank you so much for having us as your wedding photographers. You were both a joy to work with.  We wish you much love and happiness in your future life together.

We just loved the flowers at this August wedding in Cooperstown NY thanks to A Rose is a Rose Florist in Cherry Valley NY.
The ceremony and reception were both at the Otesaga Resort Hotel on Otsego Lake. It is a great place to have a wedding even if it rains because we can always get a few photos of our couple from the veranda with the lake in the background. The ceremony took place in the Templeton Lounge where you have a great view of the lakefront from the large glass doors and windows.
We were especially lucky to get a nice break in the showers right after all the formal portraits were done with the families. We took a few with the wedding party down by the lake then walked over this beautiful dock for a couple private photos with our couple. Even though we were missing the sun we had beautiful light and  a beautiful couple.  Congratulations Britney and Jonathan. We we hope you love your images as much as we enjoyed creating them for you.
