Adirondack Spring Wedding Inspiration

Pink and coral florals, perfect calligraphy, vintage jewelry, and a sweet side swept ponytail. I loved pulling together and desiging this Adirondack spring wedding inspiration with some of the best creatives in the Adirondacks.

It can be really terrifying to reach out to ladies that you have met once at a dinner and ask if they want to go all out and put together a styled shoot with you. But I had a good feeling about Jenna and Katy and decided what was the worst that could happen right?!

“Be strong, be fearless, be beautiful. And believe that anything is possible when you have the right people there to support you.” –  Misty Copeland 

I am so glad that I did because these two women are amazing. We met for coffee in Saranac Lake to hash out the details of putting together a styled shoot. We all must have been on our third cup of coffee because at some point in that meeting we decided to have  TWO DAYS of shooting, MULTIPLE table settings and FIVE MODELS! But we pulled it off and I could not be more happy with the results!

The vendors that participated in the two days of styled Adirondack spring wedding inspiration were amazing. A huge thank you goes out to the Porcupine Inn for the amazing venue and hospitality! All of the participating wedding vendors are all local to the Adirondack Region and we are so lucky to have such amazing talent in the Saranac Lake, Lake Placid, and Plattsburgh area. From the flowers to the invitation suite to the jewelry – they knocked it out of the park. Please take a moment to look at the full list of vendors included in the photographs below especially if you are planning a wedding!

The look below is just one of three that we did on the first day so make sure to stay tuned for my next blog post to see the other amazing looks!

A Romantic Canfield Casino New Year’s Eve Wedding

Canfield Casino New Year’s Wedding is such an amazing celebration for a wedding. I was thrilled when Mary Kate and Cristian reached out about photographing their wedding day. Saratoga Springs is one of my favorite upstate NY towns. The Canfield Casino is one of the most beautiful venues in Saratoga. Their wedding was classic and timeless but infused with so much fun. It truly was one of my favorite weddings to be a part of.

Canfield Casino New Year’s Wedding is already an event to remember, but it becomes a true story of romance and elegance when it’s held at such a historic building.

The Canfield Casino is a stunning venue located in the heart of Saratoga Springs, New York. The historic building was built in the 1800s and is known for its intricate architecture and beautiful gardens. The Canfield Casino has been a popular venue for weddings for many years, and it’s easy to see why. The building’s charm and elegance make it the perfect place to start your new life together as Husband and Wife.

The bride wore a classic white wedding gown paired with Manolo Blahniks and a lace cathedral-length veil. The groom was dressed in a sharp black tuxedo. Their timeless style was the perfect match for the elegant surroundings. The bride’s bouquet of white roses adds a touch of natural beauty to the already stunning venue. The wedding flowers designed by Fleurtascious Designs of Saratoga throughout the venue were stunning. Soft light and candlelight created a warm and inviting experience from the minute guests walked inside for cocktail hour. The couple had chosen a color scheme of white and gold with disco balls throughout to make sure it felt like the party it was!

A Reception with a Live Band and Fireworks

As the night went on, the couple danced to the sound of a live band, surrounded by friends and family. The wedding guests were even surprised by an amazing fireworks display from the balcony.

Despite the rainy weather outside, the bride and groom’s wedding day at the Canfield Casino was a truly unforgettable event. Their classic style and the elegance of the venue made for a stunning celebration of love and commitment. This New Year’s Eve wedding was the perfect start to a new chapter in their lives, filled with love, happiness, and timeless memories.

A Saratoga National Luxury Spring Garden Wedding

A Saratoga National Luxury Spring Garden Wedding

A Saratoga National spring wedding that was as beautiful as it sounds. Memorial Day weekend is the start of the wedding season in upstate New York. I could not have imagined a better wedding than Adele and Luke’s at the Saratoga National Golf Course.


Their wedding day was filled with joy, love, and incredible energy, but there was also remembrance and gratitude for those now resting in honored glory. Captain Luke Miller and Adele truly found ways to honor those who had served and given the ultimate sacrifice.

Their beautiful spring wedding started with the ceremony at Saint John’s church in Schenectady, NY. Saint John’s was one of the most magnificent churches I have been fortunate to photograph ceremonies in. The architecture and domed ceiling were stunning. But what was really beautiful was the two people saying their vows. I love beautiful details and gorgeous spaces, but what I love the most are the moments that make up the wedding day. And seeing Luke and Adele be so present and excited about exchanging their vows was magical.

The Wedding Reception

After the ceremony, we made our way to the equally gorgeous Saratoga National Golf Course. The Saratoga National wedding venue truly has it all. The vision that Kelly Strong Events brought to fruition for Adele, Luke, and their families is was beyond breathtaking. Adele had envisioned a garden-inspired wedding reception that was romantic and fresh. The team at Renaissance Floral Design truly worked their magic in creating a space that took your breath away.

In the words of Adele, “Romantic, Patriotic, Partyyyyyy” was the inspiration, and I think that was exactly their wedding day.

Heartfelt speeches, a beautiful sunset, fireworks lit up the sky, and dancing into the night rounded out the night. I don’t think anything could have been added to make a more memorable day for Adele and Luke. Thank you to the amazing team below for making their Saratoga National Spring Wedding a success.

An Upstate New York Wedding at Family Camp on Long Lake

Is there anything more special than having your wedding at your family’s Adirondack camp? Danae and Russ had the most amazing summer lake wedding on the shores of Long Lake in the Adirondacks. Danae and Russ had to pivot their wedding with COVID, and they did it with grace. I loved that they chose Danae’s family’s lake house in the heart of the Adirondacks.

Their day was so incredibly special. Danae and Russ were able to get ready at the neighboring private great camp. Each floor of the camp had charming and warm interiors that matched the feel of the morning so beautifully. One of my favorite photos is of Danae getting into her wedding dress with her mom. The bride’s gorgeous Jimmy Choos are proof that you can have a mix of elegant luxury and Adirondack charm on your wedding day.

Danae and Russ had their first look on the front lawn of the great camp. We then walked down to the water for portraits on the dock before the ceremony. The fresh smell of pine and the crisp breeze off the water was the perfect touch to the lake ceremony. I loved the intimate feel of their wedding with only their closest family and friends in attendance. A summer lake wedding is such a classic Adirondack vibe that it will always feel effortless.

What makes a summer lake wedding in the Adirondack even more special? How about a sunset boat cruise to top off the night? I loved this little surprise for Danae at the end of an amazing wedding day. Bare feet and wedding dresses will always be perfect at a lake wedding!
