i wasn’t supposed to photograph this wedding, and i’m so glad i was able to.

sarah and matt’s intimate backyard wedding in albany, new york was one of the most heartfelt celebrations i’ve ever had the privilege of documenting. as a wedding photographer based in athens, georgia, it’s always an honor to travel and capture weddings in beautiful places like upstate new york. small weddings like this one — surrounded by close friends, incredible food, and meaningful moments — are a reminder of how special and personal a wedding day can truly be.
