Amanda & Kevin ~ Feature Film ~ Mallozzi’s

Monday, January 2nd, 2012

On a gorgeous September day, I arrived at Amanda’s parents house where she and her bridesmaids were getting ready. They had the music pumping and were all excited about the big day ahead. Kevin sent over some gifts for his bride to be, including a new ring for her to wear as her something blue. So sweet! After a minor wardrobe malfunction, Amanda got laced into her dress and added the finishing touch - the veil, which was the same veil her mother wore at her wedding.

The ceremony took place at St. Augustine’s where Amanda & Kevin made it official, then we headed to Sage for some photos with our faves from Joe Elario Photography. We had extra time in between the ceremony and reception which was awesome so they could spend as much time as they wanted on photos and still make it to the reception in time for cocktail hour.

As the bridal party was introduced, they each did something fun and when Amanda and Kevin made their grand entrance, they turned up the volume and started the party right then. In between dancing and hamming it up at the Elario photobooth, they and their guests partied the night away.

Here is Amanda & Kevin’s feature film from their September 2011 wedding. Enjoy - and feel free to leave comments for the happy couple!

Kelly & William - Wedding Highlights

Monday, September 6th, 2010

On Kelly & William’s wedding day, it rained on and off throughout the day - and just when it looked like there was going to be a break, it would start all over again. All that rain didn’t dampen their spirits though, and when it started raining during their photo shoot away from any real cover, they just put up umbrellas and went with it - smiling the whole time.

Kelly & William were married at St. Patrick’s church in Watervliet, then headed to Saratoga National for their reception. During the cocktail hour, the photographers, Bruce & Wanda from Imagine Photography & Design, took advantage of every covered area and every break in the rain to get photos of the newlyweds and their bridal party. After the couple was introduced and danced their first dance, Kelly’s father gave a very touching welcome speech, though he did have to ask her to stop looking at him at one point so he could get through it all. The best man and maid of honor followed with equally great toasts - evoking both laughter and tears from the bride & groom and guests. After dinner, DJ Mike Garrasi from Music Man Entertainment cranked up the tunes to get the crowd moving and it was a non-stop party until the end of the night - only pausing a bit when the yummy dessert station opened up. :)

Here is Kelly & William’s highlight video from their August 2010 wedding. Feel free to leave comments for the happy couple.

Jaclyn & Robert - Wedding Highlights

Saturday, November 28th, 2009

Imagine having two daughters plan their weddings in the same year - only four months apart - June and October. Jaclyn is the October bride in this scenario and I have been looking forward to this wedding since I first met this family back in June, and I’m so glad I got to be a part of both of these incredible weddings.

Jaclyn & Robert’s day took place in Saratoga Springs with the ceremony at St. Clement’s and the reception at Saratoga National Golf Club. The day started with the forecast calling for downpours in the afternoon, however the rain held off and blue skies and sunshine made an appearance by the time the reception got under way. Sharon & Kristen from Captured Moments by Sharon Mahar took advantage of the change in weather and brought the newlyweds outside for a series of quick, beautiful shots in the awesome light. This duo is so much fun to work with, we always have a great time when they are around. (Sharon doesn’t blog though, so I’ve included a couple of photos from the wedding below the video so you can check out her work.)

Back inside, the best man had everyone laughing when, during his toast, he offered Rob some words of advice since they both had married “pretty little Italian women, with big Italian families”. After dinner, Mike Garrasi from Music Man Entertainment got the party started. He didn’t need to do much though - not with this crowd. They were there to party and that’s just what they did - owwww! Jaclyn’s nephews entertained everyone with a performance to “Boom Boom Pow”, Jaclyn’s brother and cousin snuck up on and danced around people during “What Is Love” (they got me again!), Robert’s grandmother was out on the dance floor all day, there were sing-a-longs, a 40th anniversary dedication to Jaclyn’s parents, and Jaclyn’s sister and sister-in-law showed up in sombreros at one point (don’t ask!). The night ended to “New York, New York” (where the bride & groom live) with the crowd forming a huge circle around the happy couple.

Also, I have to give a quick plug to Jaclyn’s sister, Lindsay (the June bride). She designed all the printed materials - invitations, programs, menus, etc. and just started her own business - check her out here.

Now, onto the video. Here is the highlight video from Jaclyn & Robert’s October 2009 wedding. Feel free to leave comments for the happy couple.
