This year has thrown so many curve balls at all of us, and weddings have been no exception. Large beautiful weddings that my couples have been planning for years were suddenly having to be canceled or postponed. Their larger Ausable Club Wedding had to be canceled, and it was heartbreaking, to say the least. But so many of my couples, like Emory and Jay, took it all in stride. They decided to have an intimate, heartfelt micro wedding in Keene Valley this summer. They couldn’t imagine waiting another year to be married and start this new chapter in their lives together.

I know it wasn’t what they or their families had hoped for originally, but I hope they can look back on this day and see how amazing and truly special it was. The Ausable Club in St. Huberts was originally supposed to be the venue for their celebration. Still, I am so glad they were able to get ready at the cabin the family has enjoyed for so many summers together in a place they have so many memories.

Emory and Jay had a low-key first look outside of Chicora Cabin, and the look on Jay’s face was so amazing. He was so sweet, and the moment was perfect. From there, we headed down to the Lower Ausable Lake for portraits. We even ran into some family friends down by the boathouse, which was so fun and special. I am so glad that this part of the day was still able to happen. That we were able to take a moment to enjoy the beauty of this amazing place and the memories they have there together.

After the first look and portraits, we all headed over to Marcy Field, where the outdoor ceremony could be held safely. The evening was absolutely beautiful, and the mountains were stunning as the backdrop. Their pup made a special appearance and, after their first kiss, walked into the sunset with them! With all the changes that had to be made for their wedding day, I am so glad that we had gorgeous weather for them.

The Details of An Adirondack Wedding

A micro wedding in Keene Valley would not be complete without a delicious dinner at sunset overlooking the mountains. Can you guess what one of Emory and Jay’s favorite pastimes is? Fly fishing! How amazing is that, and how perfectly they incorporated into the wedding decor. From their wedding crest with a fly fishing rod to gorgeous hand-painted plates and centerpieces. I would never have imagined a fly fishing-themed wedding could be so elegant and timeless. It was thoughtful and personal; I hope it inspires you to do something a little out of the box for your wedding day.

Thank you, Emory and Jay, your friends and family, for letting me photograph this extraordinary day for you. I can’t wait to be doing it again next year at your party!
