Gina & Evan's Glen Sanders Mansion Wedding Albany NY Wedding Photographer

Gina & Evan, October 21, 2023, Glen Sanders Mansion

We had a wonderful day for Gina and Evan’s Wedding at the end of October at Glen Sanders Mansion. The day called for rain (like most weekends in October), but we were still able to work outside as the showers passed here and there. Gina got ready up in the Bridal Suite and then got into her gown with the help of her mom and sister. Meanwhile, Evan was getting dressed with the help of his dad in the Man Cave downstairs. Instead of a first look, the couple wanted to do a “First Touch.” This is where they do not see each other, but only touch hands and say a few words. Evan’s grandmother was on hand to say a special prayer with the couple as well. The Ceremony took place in the ballroom and they were married in front of a wooden circle adorned with a white and red floral swag. After the ceremony, we were able to capture the family and the wedding party with the couple, before working with the two for their portraits. Glen Sanders property had one very vibrant tree in the front and we used this quite a bit for some fall vibes. Since the couple extended their cocktail hour, they were able to relax after photos a little before the Reception. The couple entered the

ballroom and everyone cheered as they had their first dance. Evan then danced with his mom and then Gina danced with her dad; which quickly broke out into a fast dance. Gina is a dancer and apparently gets her dance skills from her dad. It was so fun to watch. We were able to sneak up to the balcony for some blue hour photos with the moon and then some interesting staircase photos with the couple. The rest of the night was filled with a KILLER dance floor thanks to DJ Mike! Congrats again; Gina and Evan. We had such a blast with you two and wish you much happiness with your marriage.
