Our ceremony starts at 6:30pm and then goes right into the reception. We want to take photos a few hours before. The problem is I am not sure where would be a good spot. We can take a few before on site but there is other events happening there earlier in the day. 

I've only been licing here for a little while so I am not sure where to a good spot would be. Does anyone have a good suggestion for around the saratoga, ballston spa to clifton park area? Please Help

    I would suggest Congress Park,Saratoga Spa State Park, or Yaddo Gardens. They are all located in Saratoga. Where is your ceremony and reception?

    Maybe you could try the Schuylerville area?  The Saratoga Battlefield has some beautiful panoramas; Saratoga Apple has an orchard you could take pictures in (and get a snack!); and the Phillip Schuyler House is a nice historic location.  Also, the Hudson runs through the town if you wanted some water shots.

    If you took the long way from B Spa to Mechanicville, this could be (sort of) on the way, haha!

    Saratoga State Park is amazing!  We went there for our engagement session.

    My advice is to stay as close to the reception area as possible and to also choose a location that means something to you and your fiance. Saratoga State Park is beautiful, but if it's not something that is personal to you and your husband-to-be, maybe you could find something that is also beautiful, but that when you look back at your pictures, you'll have more of an emotional attachment to them because it was something special to the two of you.
    Does that make sense?
