Vanessa and Nick

Altamont Vineyard Altamont, New York

I first met Vanessa and Nick in Albany on a warm summer day to capture their engagement photos at a very special park to them. They were so fun and sweet to work with, and I especially loved how sweetly the two of them interacted with one another.

Vanessa and Nick’s Altamont Vineyard and Winery wedding was perfect in every way! The weather, the decor, the fun wedding party, the entire vibe of the day and Vanessa and Nick’s adorable love all blended together seamlessly.

Vanessa’s wedding party was so much fun, down-to-earth and her sister is incredibly funny. Nick’s wedding party was hilarious and down to have an all-out fun time! Their dance moves were spot on, and I highly recommend if you can have some form of a jump rope or limbo game at your wedding reception - you definitely should! Also, whatever the colorful sprinkle cookies were, I must have them in my life. Best cookies I’ve EVER had!!!!

We loved getting to capture Vanessa and Nick’s love story. It was a dreamy, gorgeous vineyard wedding, and we had so much fun with all their friends and family!

Congratulations, Vanessa and Nick!!!

All our love!
