As Hudson Valley wedding photographers, we love when couples break tradition and do what feels right for them. Jules and Casey start their The Inn at Saratoga wedding day by getting ready together. It’s a quiet, sweet way to begin such an exciting event. They laugh, sip drinks, and soak in the calm before the ceremony.
When it’s time to get dressed, they split up for the final touches. The energy shifts, and anticipation builds. We use this opportunity to document meaningful details. From custom cufflinks to sentimental heirloom pieces, we know how much these items matter.
Rain comes down steadily on this spring day in Saratoga Springs. The Inn at Saratoga provides beautiful indoor options for portraits. Our style leans into documentary-style imagery, and we love working with natural light. The bar area has incredible windows that flood the space with a soft glow.
Jules and Casey share their first look here. It’s cozy, joyful, and intimate. The kind of moment that reminds us why we do what we do. Afterward, we head to the parlor room. The space is filled with antique furniture and charm. We take creative portraits with the time we have.
Family and loved ones gather in the bar for group photos. We move quickly and thoughtfully. Our goal is always to make space for candid moments within these formal portraits. There’s no rush, just presence. Before the ceremony, Jules and Casey step away for private vows. In one of the hotel rooms at The Inn at Saratoga, they take a breath and speak their hearts. These moments feel sacred. We step back and quietly capture the connection between them.
Guests gather under the tent as the rain falls gently around them. The Inn at Saratoga’s tented ceremony space is warm and inviting despite the weather. Jules and Casey walk in smiling, holding hands. They share laughter, tears, and the kind of expressions you remember forever. We stay close without intruding. Our approach to Catskills wedding photography allows for authentic moments to shine. The ceremony ends in a wave of applause.
Cocktail hour takes place beneath the same tent. Everyone sips drinks, mingles, and hugs each other tightly. We wander through the space capturing joyful reunions and quiet exchanges. The reception moves indoors to the elegant ballroom. It’s cozy, beautifully lit, and perfect for the dinner and speeches that follow. Toasts bring out more laughter and a few tears. There’s so much love in the room.
Once dinner wraps up, everyone heads back out to the tent. The space is transformed into a vibrant dance floor. Casey shares a special dance with her father. Jules dances with both their mother and brother. After the parent dances, the party kicks into high gear. Rainbow streamers fly through the air. The energy is high and the joy is contagious. These are the moments we live for as LGBTQ wedding photo professionals.
We love when couples bring in elements that reflect their personalities. Jules and Casey’s temporary tattoo booth is a hit. Guests line up to get inked with fun, custom designs. It’s such a unique and playful touch. The cake comes out and guests gather to watch the couple cut it. Dessert is served, and people continue dancing and laughing into the night. As Hudson Valley wedding photographers, we feel honored to capture these unforgettable moments.
The Inn at Saratoga is a stunning venue for a wedding, rain or shine. It has historic charm, modern comfort, and versatile indoor and outdoor spaces. From the parlor to the ballroom to the tent, each corner has character and beauty. We are always grateful to photograph queer weddings in spaces that welcome and celebrate all love stories. The Inn provides the perfect backdrop for Jules and Casey’s day.
This beautiful wedding day wouldn’t have been possible without an amazing vendor team. Larissa Sala, Director of Sales at The Inn at Saratoga, is so helpful and kind. The florals by Sarrah Fox of Ivy Oaks Design Co. bring the perfect blend of color and texture.
Hair and makeup is done by the incredible team at True Beauty Company. Lauren Trudeau leads the way, with Osman and Amy on makeup. The Moonlight Rollers, led by Madison Daley, provide amazing live music throughout the night.
Jules and Casey’s The Inn at Saratoga wedding is joyful, heartfelt, and truly unique. We are so honored to be the ones to document their story. These images are more than just photos, they’re memories. As Hudson Valley wedding photographers specializing in LGBTQ wedding photos and Catskills wedding photography, we’re always looking for genuine moments. Jules and Casey give us so much beauty to capture. This day will stay with us for a long time. And we hope it lives on in their hearts forever.
