Sara + Bryan

The Desmond, Albany NY was the site of Sara and Bryan’s elegant wedding on November 9, 2024.

Sara and Bryan were all smiles the entire day, surrounded by family and friends celebrating their marriage and love for each other. Their day started with a private vow reading where they laughed and wiped tears away. Following their vow reading, we were able to get in portraits and family photos before the sun went down completely.

After the sun went down, their wedding ceremony was held in the courtyard at the Desmond. I was a little nervous how the lighting was going to be, but it was so nice and romantic with soft ambient lighting.

During their reception, their family spoke more about their personalities and hearing the wonderful stories of them was no surprise. I first met Sara and Bryan at their engagement session earlier in the year. Both of them are in the service industry (he’s in law enforcement and she’s a Physician Assistant) and you can definitely tell that they think about others above themselves. This was mentioned during Sara’s siblings and Father’s toast and Bryan’s best friend’s speech. All during their wedding Sara and Bryan kept making sure that every one else was doing good and had everything they needed. They were just the sweetest, nicest couple.

Guests danced the night away to music by Digital Musicians Entertainment and it was PACKED the whole night.

It was the last wedding of 2024 and it was amazing. I enjoyed working along side the following vendors that made this day the Best Day Ever for Sara and Bryan.
