If you are looking for a stunning outdoor wedding venue in Upstate NY, look no further! The River Stone Manor was the breathtaking backdrop for Matt and Gina’s August Wedding day. During the summertime Upstate NY really shines. Having a wedding venue that allows a couple to have their ceremony and cocktail hour on the river front makes for out-of-this-world photos!

Working with Matt & Gina was very special because I have known Matt for as long as I can remember! When I first met with Matt & Gina they shared with me how they met in high school, but reconnected when Matt moved back home and the world shut down (everything happens for a reason!). They have two adorable puppies and enjoy spending in time with friends and family.

You may have seen their Winter Engagement Session in Congress Park. Where we braved some very cold temperatures but they made it look like a summer day! Matt & Gina were so photogenic and both agreed it made photos on their wedding day feel so much more effortless, and they were much more comfortable during pictures!

Something that Matt and Gina really wanted to prioritize on their wedding day was their family. Being a family-oriented person myself I loved this! There was a lot of family coming from far and wide to celebrate with them and highlighting those people was very important. Including some very special heavenly family members.

Matt & Gina your wedding day was filled with Tradition, Laughter and so much Love. I was honored to be asked to capture your wedding day, and I wish you both all the love and happiness!!

Proposal Story

Matt proposed to Gina while they were cutting down their Christmas Tree. Tell me that doesn’t sound like the end of a Hallmark Christmas movie!

Kind Words from Gina and Matt

“From the moment we first met with Bridget to discuss our wedding we knew there was no longer a need to worry about photography. Her positive attitude, professionalism, and attention to detail went above and beyond our expectations and she delivered on every aspect. She was extremely responsive throughout the whole process and always quick to answer any of our questions. Bridget provided the total package from engagement photos, our wedding day, and even a custom made photo album designed specifically for us and through it all she provided the same high quality service with little wait time for providing us photos. Getting to work with Bridget was truly a pleasure and we would highly recommend her to our family and friends. We truly can’t thank her enough for an incredible experience and for perfectly capturing our special day.” – Matt & Gina
