I’m not quite sure where to begin with these two. So I’ll take it from the top.

Melissa and Ryan booked with me over two years ago and probably was my FASTEST booking ever. The moment we connected it felt like I had known them for ages and literally invited them over to my backyard for a slip n’slide party with my kids. As a 2020 couple, they went through the ringer like many did, but chose to maintain their original wedding date and I headed out east to capture their microwedding in Garden City in October of 2020. They pushed their larger celebration to this past weekend and I cannot even begin to tell you how happy I was to finally see them have their celebration! Even though I was selfishly sad that I was not going to have an excuse to reach out to them on a regular basis.

Their Friday wedding fell on Whitney weekend at Saratoga Race Track so what better way to celebrate than with details nodding to a true Saratoga tradition. It was BEAUTIFULLY balanced with the most perfect floral touches by Fleurtacious Designs and surprises throughout the night for the guests to enjoy including an airstream photo booth, soft pretzels, and a Ben and Jerry’s Ice Cream stand. To say the night was epic is an understatement!

Melissa & Ryan, thanks for making me laugh on the hottest day ever. You guys are INCREDIBLE and I can’t wait to dive into the rest of this wedding.

Love you both. xo
