It’s the most wonderful time of the year! When we look back on the previous year’s wedding shenanigans and go behind the scenes to see how much we all love our jobs and that enjoying the wedding day is the single most important thing for everyone involved. What good is a photo without a good memory attached to it?? Enjoy!

Classic Rob, walking backwards into traffic.
Sometimes you only get the bride and groom alone for a few minutes, you’ve got to make the best of it!!
Hopefully a version of this photo exists without Rob’s head in it. Oh wait, probably the one Rob took…
Rob and Mitch filming Hunter getting ready and then actually GETTING Hunter ready, LOL.
Yes ladies and gentleman, he does it all. Those are probably the bobby pins that Rob brought to the wedding.
Sometimes the veil is in the way when you need to fix the train, what can I say.
Everyone left before the veil? No worries, Sarah and Dyan got you!
Making veil magic!
What happens when you miss a button? Dyan hooks you up! (literally!)
Mitchell. He does photo, he does video, he does last minute sewing repairs. (while Egan stays hydrated)
Angel comes through with the makeup mirror for Jenna’s lip gloss!
Always finger guns. Nothing says wedding like finger guns with your photographer.
Rain rain go away, Kayla and Dyan got you anyway!
Mitchell looks good AND films even better!
Wondering what to do with the bouquet? Let Matt show you.
Sarah seems surprised to be on camera here. Luckily no one ended up in the lake.
Mitch celebrates a successful shot, and Angel tells them to stay put, LOL.
We will do ANYTHING to make kids laugh.
When the flower girl wants to be the center of attention, let it happen!
We spend a lot of time tricking kids into smiling.
Rob made a friend, but looks like he might need to work out more.
The ladies of Erlowest! ALWAYS there when you need help!!
And Captain Ron! Don’t get on a boat without him! He will get you from A to B in style!
Ozman and Joanna making the brides look amazing!
And the Make Me Fabulous ladies doing what they do. Making you fabulous!!
Alayne from MMF will also keep OUR staff looking fabulous if necessary. Here she is tidying up Dyan’s wedding day updo!
Gah! Nicole is a True Beauty already, Lauren here is just making sure we can all see it!
Sometimes your hair stylist photobombs your pics (Britney above) and sometimes your wedding coordinator (Jessica, below) is 9 months pregnant and it’s 100 degrees outside and she STILL shows up for you!
Mazzone Hospitality delivering the actual GOODS!
Kayla and Tyler doing their thing and looking good doing it!
Funk Evolution bringing the party to your front door!
Zane (Superfly Sounds) and Fernando (Piano Man DJ) getting the crowd warmed up.
Piano Man DJs having more fun than they should? Never!
Dj Tru and Eric Whinnery are amazing at what they do! (and look good doing it)
DJ Simsation and DJ Mike Napoli – they love the camera!
Nobody loves their job more than Tania Susi!!
Laura from CW Events Firm – she pours champagne AND fixes your dress… both SUPER critical parts of the day!
Ahh! You will want to invite Katie from A Lively Event to your wedding whether she’s planning or not!!
Wedding planner Mary Jacobs pins the boutonniere and On Thai (from Surroundings) delivers them!
Sometimes you get to go to St Lucia to photograph an amazing couple with your wife (and meet two past wedding couples there as well!
Ashley in BOTH of her natural settings – shooting a wedding and partying at her brother’s wedding!
Ashley even showed up with hairspray for the bride! We love when she gets her party on!
Sarah’s besties got married in Salem, MA and Sarah got the day off – to act foolish and stand by her friend’s side!
Sarah and Dyan with the Salem ghost photobomb.
Sarah looking dapper with her husband, Sean – we didn’t have any fun at this wedding.
Reflectors: good for keeping the bride cool under her dress and detail shots of the rings!
Can’t photograph the bride without that engagement ring, luckily Sarah Moore was there to put a ring on it for Tara!
Amelia does it all! Keeps the wedding party happy at the track and makes sure you don’t stain your dress with wet flower stems!
Always willing to stand in for a photo – before we make the bride and groom do something Dyan wouldn’t do.
Oh boy. This looks dangerous. Ice and water, not for the faint of heart.
Nathan hooked us up with some second shooting this year (and a stylish sun hat).
There’s a lot going on here Sometimes you need a light, sometimes you need to lay on the ground in November to capture the sunlight.
Julio and Dyan demonstrate the latest in veils and headwear for weddings.
Apparently the guys were VERY interested in checking out the bridesmaids here on Lake George!
Or maybe they were in it to check me out?
Okay, fine, be that way… but first, let me take a selfie.
Sometimes Mitch puts his body in the lake, and sometimes he puts his camera in the lake. Whatever it takes!
Mitch films a wedding from above at The Sagamore.
This wire was hanging down and we didn’t want it in the shot – so Mitch and Matt scaled the wall to tuck it away.
Our staff is proud of their work! Dyan creating a beautiful flat lay and Egan stepping in to set up the first look shot.
Hey girl, hey! Assisting and shooting, Angel is ALWAYS in a great mood!
Angel and Egan put their lives at risk and in the hands of Dyan’s golf cart driving skills.
Hannah (above) happy to mug for the camera, and Sarah (below) happy to see the bride!
REALLY happy to see the bride.
Wait, what? I thought you wanted photos WITH us?? Don’t worry, I’m sure there are versions of these WITHOUT Dyan and Rob!
I love a good photo with the groom!
Rob making sure Alex is ready for the first look, and trusting Ashley, the bride, with his camera!!
When you’re trying to shoot the details and end up in each other’s way. Rob vs. Kayla & Dyan. (Rob is going to lose this one)
I know that everyone thinks sun is good – but sometimes we actually need to BLOCK it. Whether with a fur shawl (Dyan) or with all of your hands (Emily & Dyan).
Sarah stays warm in winter on Lake George, and then proceeds to hide under the head table. What is she shooting there?!?!
Sarah will wrestle an alligator for you. It’s in the contract.
When your one-eyed cat can’t make it to the wedding, Sarah can help – while Rob carries all the things for you.
What a nice, intimate moment, with the bride, groom. and the bride’s dad!
It is a public park after all, he’s got the right to ride there. And when you show up wearing the same dress as another wedding guest!!
We are always trying to move distractions, whether its chasing ducks in the park (Dyan and Sarah above) or moving unused uplighting (Rob, below).
Sarah shares an extra chin with the bride while Rob channels his inner Zoolander (if you don’t know who that is, we can’t be friends).

There it is folks! Can’t wait to see you all out there for a wonderful 2023 wedding season!!
