Jodi and Nick’s wedding day was probably the hottest day the Adirondack Mountains saw throughout the whole summer. With temps hovering in the high 90’s all day these two took it all in stride and just kept smiling.

I was so glad that Lauren and Christian were up for an adventure and open to having the sand between their toes and maybe a few bug bites after their engagement session in upstate NY!

he fine river dust rose and fell with each step we took as we made our way down the path through the soft ferns along the bank or the river. The sun was streaming through the leaves as it sunk lower in the evening sky the night of their engagement session. I was so glad that Stevie and Logan were up for a small adventure before we headed to the second location we had planned for their engagement session in upstate NY.
