Willow Creek Country Club Wedding, Kristin & Zach

Words cannot describe the beauty of this wedding, so much love, smiles, laughter, tears of joy. Typically, I am not a cryer at weddings but i had to hold it together several times for this one…Ahh,…Kristin and Zach tied the knot at Willow Creek Country Club, NY. Beautiful lantern lit ceremony, live band style entertainment and so much of the pretty decor was hand made by one of the sweetest brides i’ve had the pleasure to work with. I’ve gotten to know Kristin and Zach a little more since our first meeting and i can honestly say i consider them both more as friends then clients. This is a sneak peak of some of my favorites from the day and PS, i will have to add a separate post for the bouquet itself, because as you’ll clearly see it is a piece of artwork. It took Kristin about 9 months to create it. What’s special about this bouquet is that every single piece of jewelry was her mother’s and it was Kristin’s way to honor her and make her presence felt throughout the day. Zach’s mom gave her a beautiful precious stone to add on to it, how sweet is that.XO… Ina, IM PHOTO STUDIO

Jennifer & Michael

In my opinion, simple and sweet is enough. A gorgeous horse ranch walk in Port Jeff was the perfect choice as a backdrop for Jennifer and Michael’s engagement session… this gallery is a perfect little dose of pretty and i can’t wait to shoot all the loveliness of their big day.

XO. Ina, IM PHOTO STUDIO

From Jennifer: “I just saw some of our engagement photos this morning and I seriously couldn’t be happier with how they turned out! My fiance and I were both a little nervous when our engagement session began, but Ina put us both at ease and was wonderful as far as giving us some direction so that we weren’t totally lost on what to do! She took her time and spent much longer with us than I expected. It was clear that she wanted to do whatever she could to get the best pictures possible, and we walked all over the property we were at to get photos in many different locations. I’m so happy we chose her as our wedding photographer, not only for the quality of her finished products, but for how relaxed she made us both feel. I know she’s going to capture wonderful images of our wedding day in the most natural way possible. Wedding planning can be stressful, but I’m delighted to say that I have definitely chosen a FANTASTIC photographer… I’m going to be recommending Ina to all of my engaged and soon-to-be-engaged friends in the area!”

Noelle & James

When James & Noelle contacted me to shoot their wedding day, I was so excited not only because they seemed so sweet but because I would get to see a little part of NY I had never been to before, Plattsburgh! I was so glad that I was able to travel and be part of this dreamy Adirondack wedding…take a look at the beautiful gallery… XO Ina, IM PHOTO STUDIO.

From Noelle: “Ina did an exceptional job photographing our wedding. We were thrilled with our photos. We received an array of photos with a variety of candid, formal, and detail shots, all of which provided the perfect account of our day. Ina was flexible, patient, and creative. We appreciated her direction while taking photos, which helped to capture the best photos. She has the ability to make you feel comfortable and at ease, and it is evident by her photos. In addition, she was present throughout our entire wedding and made every effort to photograph as much as possible. Our wedding guests, often referred to her as a “ninja” due to the fact that she would suddenly appear to capture a certain event or special moment. I highly recommend Ina. Her skills, demeanor, and commitment to the craft is commendable.”

A Long Island Farm Museum Engagement Session – Claire & Gabe

So fun shooting  this engagement session at the Long Island Farm Museum!…I look forward to shooting their big day. XO Ina, IM PHOTO STUDIO.

From Claire: “Ina did an engagement photo session for my fiance and I. We are not very good posers nor are we very comfortable in front of a camera, but Ina made us feel so at ease and it showed in the pictures, they came out absolutely beautiful!! She had great ideas for the pictures and took a lot of candid ones which I love! Ina is also our photographer for our upcoming wedding and I am more than confident that the pictures for our big day will be just as beautiful!”

Emily & Vincent

Had the pleasure of photographing this beautiful couple at Crest Hallow Country Club NY. Loved being part of their wedding day, i truly enjoyed capturing their interactions,…their humor was my favorite thing about them, those laughters…And it surely doesn’t hurt that Emily is so effortlessly elegant and drop dead gorgeous

From Emily: “Let me start off by saying I wanted no frills and especially did not want the miserably staged photos for my wedding in May. I have been to so many weddings where every moment is ruined with the photographer stopping and staging moments. I explained this to Ina on our first meeting and not much else because it was really my only request. She completely understood and promised that wouldn’t happen. Just Ina’s aura instantly made me know she was the perfect photographer. Just as I had known from the beginning, my wedding photos are the most amazing I have ever seen. They are all captured in the moment… Exactly what I wanted! Ina was by far the easiest and most professional person I worked with for my wedding. If you choose her I promise you will not regret it! (Sorry for the long post)”

Kristen & Zach

Such a pleasure shooting with them, Here are some of my favorites. Enjoy! XO Ina, IM PHOTO STUDIO

From Kristen: “We met with Ina for a consultation and we hit it off. She understood and appreciated the little details that I was looking to capture on our wedding day and I love the fact that she is so passionate about capturing the right moments and really listening to you as a couple and what you want. After meeting with her we hired her for our Engagement pictures and they came out beautifully! We used the pictures for our save the dates and everyone was in awe of them. I can’t wait to have Ina take our wedding pictures in November and continue to use her as our family begins to grow! Definitely a photographer that will make beautiful memories last forever!”
