We’re still compiling our list of favorite photos from 2007 weddings, but wanted to share one from what we have so far.
This photo was taken at Christine and Anthony’s wedding in the Thousand Islands. It actually won an award from our local chapter of the Professional Photographers America, a professional photographers organization. Just in case you don’t know where the Thousand Islands are, they’re a beautiful group of islands on the border of Canada and New York State.Â
Christine and Anthony got married at the Boldt Castle in May.  The castle itself has a very sad and romantic history. It was built in the early 1900′s by George Boldt, who owned NYC’s Waldorf Astoria. He wanted to build it for his wife, Louise. Unfortunately, Louise died suddenly in 1904 and George was so heart-broken that he abandoned the castle. The castle was then left abandoned for years until one of the municipal authorities decided to restore it recently.
After that sad story, let’s talk about happier things, i.e., Christine and Anthony’s wedding ! Christine and Anthony love the Renaissance era and travel all over the world to participate in Renaissance fairs. For their wedding (though you can’t see it from the picture), they both dressed up in Renaissance garb.  You can better see their traditional Renaissance Era-wedding clothing in the 2 pictures below. Unfortunately, these 2 pictures didn’t make our list of favorites, but we like them a lot as well !
We really liked Christine and Anthony’s wedding. For us, it was our first experience with Renaissance weddings, so we were really excited that they chose us to photograph their day. And, we really admire the way they integrated their interests into their wedding and made it even more special.Â
Stay tuned…Â More 2007 favorites to come…
