Happy New Year and The Knot love us!

December 31st, 2009

As we get ready to eat some homemade cake and all sorts of other goodies that are clearly not in my diet this evening I just wanted to share last year’s New Years Eve wedding with you since it’s featured on TheKnot.com right now. In addition to being featured on The Knot’s blog for this evening, their wedding is also permanently featured in the Upstate NY section of the website too.

Enjoy a wedding free NYE and thanks for the shout out! And ps, congrats on your first holiday season as a married couple Luke and Alisha!


Engagement shoot with Brigid+Steve

December 29th, 2009

Last week before we left for the holidays I was able to squeeze in an engagement shoot with Brigid+Steve. At first I was skeptical that the weather would work when we penciled it in, but sure enough as we got closer I saw that we were actually supposed to get some really nice light for a shoot. No snow and some good light…. no complaints! Ok I can complain about the fact that it was literally about 10 degrees (with a wind chill so cold I won’t even comment), but since I was the one behind the camera and all burled up I won’t :)) Huge props to Brigid+Steve for braving the cold and for being such easy subjects to work with. Hope you enjoy some of the photos we were able to grab…
Another attractive bride for the blog, love it!

I love shooting in downtown Troy (a photographer’s dream) with all these little back alleys and neat little niche spots

Sunsets like this don’t exist up here in December

Even in single degree temperatures our couples find ways to have fun

LOVE the shot on the left

Thanks so much for checking out the photos and we hope everyone had a fantastic holiday! Look for these two again after their wedding this summer at the Inn at Erlowest.

5th Annual Photo Contest!

December 18th, 2009

It’s that time of year again, time for the Clark+Walker annual photo contest! Sweet! For those of you who are new to our blog – every year we have a photo contest at the end of the year. Each year we choose a new category for the contest, we’ve done everything from best cake to best bouquet to best portrait. This year we are doing “BEST GROUP SHOT!” We’ve had a lot of fun watching our signature, relaxed bridal party shots evolve over the last couple of years and are excited about showcasing our favorites. Each photo will have a number above it, please vote for your favorite in the comments selection by writing down the number for which you’d like to vote.

The winner of this year’s contest will get a $150 credit towards anything she would like. You can use it toward prints, toward a canvas, an album upgrade, a boudoir session (Valentines’ Day hook up!), gift it to a friend… anything you’d like.

Below are the contestant entries…. vote away and Happy Holidays!

    I will have to go with the boys near the 1954 Rambler Nash. It’s classic. Not just because I’m biased (maybe a little), but photo # 2 has all the right elements; lighting, colors of grass, ties, and cars, and just pure attitude.

December 11th, 2009

We are excited to present to you our wedding, featured in the new issue of Destination Weddings Magazine!
NY
Grab it on the closest news stand you can find :)

Also, big time props to our good friends Jason Groupp and Jennifer Davis for giving us some kick ass photography

More Congrats to Kate + Randy!

December 10th, 2009

They say you never forget first times. And this, my friends, was my first video shoot for Clark + Walker Studio.

I’ll certainly never forget that day as Alisha kept a careful eye on my every move to make certain I was getting the great shots that has made Clark + Walker such a prominent name in wedding photography / videography in the Capital Region. In lieu of such a high pressure situation for yours truly, (and if you’ll indulge me for a moment) — I do believe we have a winner!

Thank you to Kate + Randy for allowing me to capture your wedding for my first time! You guys make a fabulous couple and I’m so pleased to have been a part of your celebration!

-John
