Although my wedding and portrait photography business is based in Woodstock, Vermont; Upstate New York is only 45 minutes away and Albany is only 2 hours, so there is never any travel expenses for the greater Albany area, Saratoga Springs, Glens Falls, Troy or Lake George weddings. Upstate New York has some amazing, elegant wedding venues from The Mansion at Cedar Hill in Selkirk to The Saratoga Golf and Polo Club in Saratoga Springs. Another favorite wedding venue of mine is The Queensbury Hotel in Glens Falls with it's elegant ballroom and park like setting for the wedding ceremony. 

Just like Vermont, Upstate New York has so many beautiful wedding venues, it is impossible to list them all. Here is an interesting link in "Here Comes The Guide" featuring Upstate New York wedding venues to check out. 

Saratoga Springs, New York is one of my favorite destination wedding locations. The wedding venues are endless with the historical Hall of Springs in the beautifully landscaped Saratoga State Park to the glam and glitz of the Saratoga Casino. 

Not only does Saratoga Springs boast an phenomenal diversity of wedding venues and locations it is also home to Saratoga Race Course and the entire town has a very "horsey" feel to it with colorful horse statues placed along the streets and in some of the wedding venues as well. These horse statues make a fun wedding prop for any wedding couple and in the past I have also used one as a prop for the wedding dress.

Saratoga Springs is not quite a two hour drive from Woodstock so getting there is easy and there are never any travel expenses for weddings, elopements or enagement sessions there. 

Glens Falls is home of The Queensbury Hotel and I love photographing weddings there! You can just feel the old world charm in the lobby and tavern and the grand ballroom is so very elegant with chandeliers, colorful up lighting and mirrored walls along one side. There is also Crandall Park near by and it is just perfect  for "First Look" and pre wedding bridal party photos. Lake George is also minutes away and time permitting and easy drive for wedding photos on the lake.

Troy, NY is an urban treasure and a mecca for art, culture and music. As well as the official "Home of Uncle Sam," Troy, NY is also home to exciting public events, wonderful small business, and a unique variety of things to do not to mention boasting some beautiful wedding venues from the rustic barn and country setting at Greywacke Meadows to the classic modern feel of The Takk House.

Troy is also minutes away from Albany and the capitol city has some phenomenal wedding and pre wedding photo locations from the downtown area to the landscaped grounds of Washington Park.
