Jenn & Ben Wedding-Part 2, September 25, 2021, 90 State Events, Albany, NY
Jenn and Ben were one of our couples from last year who were affected by the Pandemic. The couple were originally wed on September, 26, 2000. Check out their images from that day here: https://hitlinphoto.com/jenn-bens-wedding-part-1-albany-ny-wedding-photographers/. On that day, regulations were in place for no large gatherings, so we captured their Ceremony with a small group of family at Trinity United Methodist Church. As with a few of our couples, they decided to split their time with us into 2 parts. This year, they were finally able to have that large gathering, celebrating with all of their family and friends. We started the day at Salon 109, where Jenn and her girls were finishing getting their hair and makeup done. We then made our way across the street to the Renaissance Hotel, where Jenn put on her wedding gown. The couple’s daughter was right by her mom’s side all day. We moved down to 90 State Events where we then met Ben and his guys as they arrived. We did some quick dressing shots of the Groom. The couple did not want to do a first look, so we got Bride & Bridesmaid photos done and then switched over to Groom & Groomsmen photos on the streets of Albany. The couple renewed their vows in front of just over 100 guests. During Cocktail Hour, we were able to do some pictures back outside with the couple. The Reception opened up and the couple enjoyed their first dance in front of guests. Some great speeches were given by the Maid of Honor, Best Man and even the couple themselves. Everyone danced and the Bride danced with her dad and the Groom danced with his mom. It was so great that they could finally have the day they had always envisioned. Congrats again to Jenn and Ben who have stuck with us for 2 years in a row. You guys will always hold a special place in our hearts for all that you had to endure. Thanks for being an awesome couple.
