View this wedding’s slideshow!
I’ve been really passionate about wedding slideshows this year, but it’s let my blogging lag behind. No more! Expect to see a slew of blogged weddings, engagement sessions and other work in the next few months, and who better to lead off with than the wedding of my cousin Adam! Shooting a wedding for a family member is always a tricky proposition, since it’s almost impossible to properly do the duties of a photographer and the duties of a guest. But in this case it worked out, and I was honored to shoot this wedding on a beautiful Lake Placid day.

Adirondack chairs make great cake toppers!

The band was my step-father’s own Double Axel, who has been together for more than 35 years. This is 6400 ISO on the D3, not only with no noise reduction but extra sharpening to boot.
