A Romantic Adirondack Christmas Wedding in Lake Placid

Whiteface Lodge Winter Wedding

We often talk about the Christmas spirit, but sometimes I don’t think we see it as often as we speak about it. Ashley and Steve’s wedding embodied what we believe Christmas is in our hearts. It is being with those we love most important, sharing a meal together, laughing and telling stories, hugging someone you have not seen in ages, and toasting to new love and old. This is what we cherish at Christmas. This is what their Adirondack Christmas wedding was filled with.

The Whiteface Lodge was dressed to the nines for the Holidays with twinkling lights, red bows, wreaths, and Christmas trees that touched the sky. Ashley and Steve spent the morning getting ready with their family and friends in their suites. I loved the white winter details and classic elegance of their day. The combination was perfect for a December wedding in the Adirondack Mountains.

With the warm weather, much of the snow had melted around the Whiteface Lodge, but I found a spot earlier in the morning where there was still snow for their first look and portraits. I just love how elegant and gorgeous their photographs are in front of the pines trees. We then went to a beautiful location in front of the frozen pond.

You have to have a first look before the ceremony with a winter wedding because the sunset is so early. The sun disappeared at 3:45 on their wedding day. If we had not done the first look, Ashley and Steve would not have had any photos in natural light.

The Kanu Room at the Lodge is one of the most gorgeous locations I can imagine for a December wedding in Lake Placid. However, this room can be dark and dreary without flash, especially on a cloudy day. The Christmas tree framing them during their ceremony was magical, to say the least.

Adirondack Christmas Weddings are stunning, but what made Ashley and Steve’s genuinely magical was the love that surrounded them at their wedding. I don’t think there was a dry eye in the room during their ceremony, and the toasts and first dance.

These two deserve a world of happiness together. Thank you for letting me be a part of your wedding day!
