Michelle & Chris, October 10, 2020-PART 1, Franklin Plaza, Troy, NY
We all know this year has been tough on the Wedding Industry and couples looking to get married. Many couples moved their weddings to next year or even 2 years. A few stuck it out and we applaud Michelle and Chris for pushing through this year with their I Dos. Granted, they had to have an intimate guest list at this years’ wedding, but they split their date and have us capturing their larger Reception in 2022. The day started at the Best Western Franklin Square, where both Bride and Groom were getting ready in different rooms. We captured all the details in both rooms and each of them getting dressed. The couple opted for a First Look, which we did outside in front of Franklin Plaza. It was an unusually warm October day, and it was quite windy. Michelle’s veil swayed and blew around in the breeze. We walked around the area taking more pics before heading inside for their Ceremony. After the couple kissed, they literally danced their way back down the aisle in celebration. We were able to head up to the roof top at the most perfect time as the sun was slowly lowering in the sky. The Franklin Roof is probably one of our most favorite spots to capture a sunset and this one didn’t disappoint; we just love the images up there. The couple then entered their ballroom. Tables were labeled with trips that the couple had traveled to and a world globe was used as their guest book. Guests enjoyed delicious served food from Franklin and also had fun in the photo booth. We ended the evening with their cake cutting. Congrats again and kudos for sticking it out this year, Michelle and Chris. We can’t wait to celebrate with a big party in 2022. Wishing you both all the best.
