Idyllic Garden of Eden Wedding at the Mansion in Saratoga

I recently photographed the most idyllic Garden of Eden Wedding in Saratoga at the Mansion.  It was so perfect that Sheala and Charlier’s Pastor called it The Garden of Eden–and it was so apt!  The florals by Rena’s Flowers were unbelievably lovely.  Below is a slideshow of the day and you can decide for yourself:

In case you want to take a peek at just Wedding Photos, here is a small(is) gallery of this timeless Saratoga Wedding:

The Idyllic Garden of Eden Wedding Ceremony Set Up

Rena’s Fine Flowers did a spectacular job with all the florals for Sheala and Charlier’s Wedding.  Photographing them was a dream.

It is always special to photograph a bride with her dad walking down the aisle and capturing the groom’s response.

Capturing the guests at a ceremony is a storytelling element. The Bride and Groom will want to see these faces in their Wedding album.

Because a wedding is so intense, it is important to capture all the expressions and nuances at the Ceremony.

Wedding Portraits On Location at the Mansion

There really is not a more picturesque place to create Bridal Portraits than The Mansion.  You can really create a wide variety in a relatively short amount of time.
