Dear Aspiring Photographer,

I would say that I receive about 5-10 emails or messages per week asking business questions and I find this completely flattering.

YM PHOTOGRAPHY | A note for aspiring photographers: The Low Down | Lake George NY Wedding Photographer

As a newly engaged couple you are faced with a million and one decisions about everything from color of your tablecloths to what shoes you will wear on your feet. And it can be daunting! One of the biggest questions I get is “How much coverage do I really need?!”

GIRLFRIEND’S GUIDE TO WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHY: THE SKINNY ON WEDDING DAY COVERAGE

One of my favorite wedding photographers is Hunter Leone of Three Nails Photography. I’ve followed him since one of his first styled sessions went viral… we’re talking years here and totally in a creepy, facebook stalkerish way.

The minute I met Bryan and Remi, I knew they were the right clients for me. Bryan for his past service in the Air Force and Remi… well, Remi because she was just the most perfect bride ever. From their engagement session to their album design, they have been amazing clients to work with. Then add in the fact that they chose the beautiful Daley Inn on Crooked Lake as their wedding location and that was the icing on the cake.

The National Museum of Dance was one of the places I daydreamed as a little girl who wanted to be a ballerina. It’s also one of the wedding venues that topped my list of dream wedding venues so when I met with Stephen and Rene, I knew they were the couple for me.

Chris & Jeri love the outdoors and getting married at Golden Arrow Lakeside Resort in Lake Placid was the perfect choice. They took a cruise on Mirror Lake following their ceremony for beautiful images in the Golden Arrow’s italian gondola. Finishing the evening off at Smoke Signals, they danced the night away surrounded by family and friends.

I love when I get to work with young couples with a unique style and amazing sense of humor… and that was definitely Corey & Myava. They were married by a close friend overlooking a sweeping valley in Canajoharie, NY surrounded by their closest family and friends.
