An early summer wedding at the Ausable Club in the Adirondack mountains of Upstate NY. A beautiful wedding that was full of love, courage, grace and strength.

Weddings in upstate NY always have the chance for rain, but if you are getting married in the Adirondacks it is just something to be embraced. Weddings with a little bit of rain are always some of my favorites and Helen and Lee embraced it. The photos at the canoe club were some of my favorites of the day. With the soft light, calm waters and beautiful pastel colors it looks like something out of a dream.

When I asked Wendy and Jim what they envisioned for their wedding day at the Whiteface Lodge, “Casual, intimate, romantic and rustic” were the words they used to describe what they dreamed of for their wedding. I hope their wedding in the heart of the Adirondacks was everything that they hoped for and so much more.

An Adirondack winter wedding in Lake Placid is always memorable but this January day was truly special. The air was cold and crisp but the sun was shining on Sarah and Dr. Parish’s wedding day in the Adirondacks of upstate NY. With touches of gold, fur, and just a hint of the mountain spirit sprinkled in their winter wedding celebration was breathtaking.

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 think we were all happy the wedding ceremony took place on the shores of Long Lake where a cool breeze blew over the water. Despite the heat though these two as well as their friends and family were a joy to photograph.

When winter and spring collide it is pure magic in the Adirondack Mountains of upstate New York. With soft warm breezes blowing through the valleys, and cool smooth ice still reflecting the blue skies above it is enough to take your breath away. This isn’t the beginning of their love story though…

Those were the words used when Lindsay told me what she wanted the feel of her wedding day to be. If I could wish one thing for my brides it would be for their day to be filled to the brim with those feelings! Lindsay and Mike’s winter Adirondack elopement at the Whiteface Lodge in Lake Placid is a wedding post you have to check out!

Liz and Eric love spending long weekends in the Adirondacks hiking, and exploring the high peaks together, so it was only natural that they would decide to have their wedding day celebration in the Adirondacks!

The day we shot this styled shoot there was a mist still hanging in the damp air of the Adirondacks that almost gave you a sense of time when the Great Camps were being built. I love the smell of the Adirondacks, it is earthy and rustic but at the same time there is a hushed elegance that floats in the air.

“Be strong, be fearless, be beautiful. And believe that anything is possible when you have the right people there to support you.” – I think Misty Copeland got it right when she said this and I think it describes this styled shoot so well!
