Hotz Wedding – May 16, 2009

I was looking back through my posts and I realized I never blogged about this wedding – how could I have missed it?? In any rate, here is a much overdue recap of a very cool wedding…
Mr. and Mrs. Hotz were married May 16, 2009 at the Albany Country Club. I met these guys in February 2008 so I had the great pleasure of working with them for 16 months. They are such a cute couple, very relaxed and laid back. Danielle is a petite little ball of pure niceness, and he’s a Red Sox fan so they were all right in my book. Actually Nick is also my web designer (check out his work – http://www.weddingplanningplus.net/ ) so he gets extra bonus points for that. These two met in college and moved to Albany to start their life together. A life that included a very fun and very personal wedding! I have to thank some of my favorite vendors for putting in their best work for these two – DJ Greg Frasier rocked out a ridiculously fun reception! And these pictures are all from photographer Tracey Buyce (http://www.traceybuyce.com/) – check out her great work!!

How pretty is she?? The bride’s makeup was done by Jessica Sheridan who works for the makeup artist Amy Elizabeth Smith. Such a beautiful bride!!

I couldn’t possibly blog about this wedding and not mention their very cool wedding cake. Check it out!! This is a CoccaDotts creation and matched so many elements of the wedding perfectly – the quilted diamond pattern on the green layers is an exact replica of the diamond pattern on their invitations and the brooches on the purple bands matches the brooch on the waistline of the bride’s wedding dress. If you are familiar with the Albany Country Club you know what a fantastic placement the cake gets and this cake certainly got a lot of attention. It was awesome!

These guys were so much fun to work with! And their wedding came together just beautifully. Unfortunately they got caught in the rainy summer weather so the outdoor ceremony had to come indoors, but they rolled with it and never let anything distract them from having a night of fun with their family and friends.

This was a picture Tracey took towards the end of the night – I’m one happy wedding planner!! Congrats guys – and miss you!! 🙂
