Erin & Justin, April 29, 2023, Saratoga Hall of Springs
Erin and Justin’s Wedding Day is one we will treasure for a long time. Meghan was Erin’s middle school Reading teacher years ago and worked along side Erin’s mom. It’s been quite some time since Meg has taught, but when Erin contacted us for her wedding photography, it was a true honor and very meaningful and special to capture. Meeting Justin came easy, as we could quickly see how his personality was such a nice match and compliment to Erin’s. These two were meant to be together. We started their April Wedding Day at the Embassy Suites in Saratoga, where Justin and his group were getting dressed. Both Justin and Erin’s fathers were on hand to help and for photos as well. We then moved over to Erin’s parent’s home. The house was busy with all the girls hanging out and Erin in the makeup chair when we arrived. The family dogs were there as well to join in the fun. Erin had gifted her group cute pjs and socks and we took some fun shots before Erin got dressed with the help of her sister and mom. The couple decided on a First Look so we got to the Hall of Springs first to meet up with Justin for some quick shots, before Erin arrived. After their First Look (which Justin was ALL smiles), we did their portraits and even the Wedding Party shots before it started to rain. The Hall of Springs Porticos came in quite handy for family photos and even was set up for the Ceremony to be outside (and covered). A little over 150 guests watched these 2 get married and their officiant was really great and so animated during the ceremony; which made everyone laugh. As guests moved to Cocktail Hour, we did some quick shots in SPAC and then the couple joined their guests. DJ Mike greeted everyone coming into Reception with a fun play list and Mazzone Hospitality served up some delicious entrees. The dance floor was packed all night and guests even enjoyed some fun shots in the photo booth. We ended our time with some quick night shots with the bistro lights outside. Erin and Justin; thanks again for inviting us to capture your day. You two were such a blast to work with and we are so happy for you both. Congrats again #hitlinalumni <3 !
