Tara and Jared’s Wedding started off our 15th year of business with their big day in downtown Albany.  We have been planning with this couple for about 2 years (even doing 2 engagement sessions with them) and they put together an amazing team of professionals for their day.  They had so many details planned, that we were so happy they had the amazing Kelly Jeanmaire as their Wedding Planner.  We started at the Albany Renaissance Hotel, where both Bride and Groom got ready.  When we arrived, their details were nicely laid out and we got right to work.  The color scheme for the day was Blue and Green; which not only is their favorite colors but mentioned in one of their favorite songs by Thomas Rhett.  After hair and makeup was finished, Tara and her girls had some fun shots in their coordinating robes and then got dressed.  Tara looked amazing in her gown and did First Reveals with her bridesmaids and dad before we brought her downstairs to have a First Look with Jared.  These two looked stunning together and their shoes were amazing; especially Jared’s with all that blue sparkle.  The couple requested photos with their 2 dogs; Luca and Snowball and then we got on a transport and headed towards the Education building.  It was a cold day, so we moved quickly and then made our way to the venue to get pics there as well.   The set up for the Ceremony and Reception had such attention to detail.  Their Engagement Session images were blown up to poster size and spread around the room and guests were greeted to beautiful violin music.  Once down the aisle, the officiant announced that guests would have a “Media Minute” where they could take as many cell phone pics within a minute’s time and then all cell phones needed to be put away.  After the ceremony we took some more pics outside and then everyone moved to the Reception.  The couple danced a choreographed dance and there were toasts and parent dances as well as an Anniversary dance and special “Friday, the 13th dance” dedicated to anyone who celebrated or had something special happen on the 13th.  They even did a sparkler exit with their wedding party and close family members.  Tara and Jared, you sure had an action packed day and one we will never forget.  Thanks for choosing Hitlin Photography Inc. to capture your love story.
