Schodack, NY Wedding: Breanna & Ben

Two weeks ago I had the honor of shooting the wedding of a friend I’ve had for nearly 20 years. A friend whose parachute pants and tie-dyed belly shirt can be seen in photos from my eighth birthday party. A friend whose first perm once had me coming home from middle school in a complete tizzy, pleading desperately with my mom to pleeease ‘let me be as cool as Breanna.’ For nearly 20 years, Breanna has been a great source of insane amounts of fun, laughter, and friendship. And being there to document the vows she shared with Ben, a guy equally as awesome, was such a beautiful, sweet experience for me.

Breanna & Ben – Thank you. SO, so much. For the absolute BLAST that was your wedding day. And for the honor of capturing it. Love you both!! XOXO!!
Tanya Bartholoma did an incredible job on the bride’s hair and makeup. And Bre’s headband is SO her! :)
Meet Bella, Breanna’s precious little niece. Just absolutely ADORE her.GAH. Isn’t she just plain radiant?Ben looking all handsome like as his bride walks down the aisle.YESSS!! SO unbelievably happy for my friends. :)Hannah Elissa Floral Design is always so impeccably spot-on. Breanna and Ben’s wedding was no exception.Ahh, you two. You melt me. Seriously love this moment.You can never go wrong with a little lens flare. Favorite from the entire day. :)And who could forget the little friend who kept us company while shooting portraits? Beautiful. In a scary way…More gorgeous details.I love, love, LOVED that Breanna and Ben hired a caricaturist to draw their guests. Needless to say, this guy was pretty popular. :)B & B let me in on a little secret just a few minutes before their first dance – a full five minutes of every dance move imaginable. Choreographed by Ben just three days prior. They NAILED it. And the guests ate it up!Bre with her dad. Giggling. Go figure. :)And? I had to… Hannah, me, and Breanna. Friends for 18 years!!

Happy weekend!!
