Why I Took This Photo
I have been the photographer of choice for more than 7 years at Vanderheyden Hall in Wynantskill, NY since Karen Carpenter Palumbo became Executive Director. The experience has been incredibly meaningful to me since Vanderheyden serves a very special population of almost 500.
Vanderheyden’s 185th Anniversary Gala was at 60 State Place, Albany, NY. It was an elegant affair and I wanted to focus on that theme. This photo elegantly depicts their theme color blue amid the stature and excellence of their work and legacy. The food display was beautifully arranged by 2 Shea Catering befitting such a regal and high class institution. This table with its beautiful ice sculpture was at the forefront of the event the entire evening and I wanted to make sure to capture that.
Kind Words
Echoes of our weddings still chime through our days. We are truly newlyweds in our delight. It was wonderful to have you there ~ and with camera in hand. The pictures are great! I’m so glad you captured the waltz ~ you were the only one who did. Your photographs are clearly at a high artistic level ~ you saw the subtle, the beautiful and the meaningful.
