Washington Park - Russell Sage - Downtown Troy Engagement | Renee and Raymond | Jay Zhang Photography
These two highly intelligent and fun loving couple just could not stop swooning and laughing and being silly with each other. You could say we had some fun times in Downtown Troy NY making some Engagement Photos, but what we were really doing was just being crazy kids hanging out in the rainy and cloudy day - perfectly overcast for some photos. It was a perfect day for an indie band cover photo against a shrub! Throughout the day they reminisced on places they used to go to, Schools they used to attend and all the memories in between.
Revolution Hall Browns Wedding | Katie and Ryan | Jay Zhang Photography
The day starts with A TON of laughing, perfect - that means we’re in for a PARTY. I get to Katie’s room and one of the bridesmaids is DEFINITELY keeping the party vibes on high (You the true MVP). There was no shortage of laughing, champagne, beautiful details and loving family in this room. Before her mom gets to put on her dress we take a couple of photos of Katie and her Bridesmaids on the balcony and a small champagne toast. When Katie is all buttoned up in her dress, we did a quick first look with Dad and then I moved into Ryan’s room to capture some details as he gets ready. His sister helps him put on his jacket and a family friend/florist help pin the flower and we quickly whisk ourselves away to get ready for the First Look before it starts to have the IDEA of rain.
Troy Kitchen + Riverfront Park Troy Wedding | Nikki + Reilly
Nikki and Reilly are so made for each other, Nikki is the type of woman who's always super enthusiastic and you can tell when her wheels are churning and she comes up with a plan in less than a minute. Reilly is the Cool, chill we're going to make it work type of person who would roll with however things are going. Nikki fires Reilly up, and Reilly settles Nikki down. On this day though, there was nothing that was going to keep the high of the feeling of finally celebrating the day with all their friends. They have been "Officially" Married for some long now, it was a day that they now get to share with their loved ones.
