A sweet spring engagement session in the Adirondacks of upstate NY! Wendy and Jim are hosting their destination wedding at the Whiteface Lodge in June. Which made having their engagement session on the shores of Lake Placid even more special!

A stunning Lake Placid wedding in the heart of winter at the Whiteface Lodge in Lake Placid. A beautiful wedding in the Adirondacks with all the perfect details including gentle snow falling in the evening!

We met in the parking lot of Noblewood Beach and made our way to down the gravel road to the parking area with the warm summer air hanging still around us. 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!

Lake Champlain was smooth as glass and the mountains were every shade of blue across the waters for Kelly and Ryans summer engagement session this June! The rains held off until the last few minutes but the pictures under the umbrella are some of my favorites from they session!

I love sharing pictures and even more so the stories highlighting the amazing people that I have the privileged of photographing in the Adirondacks and beyond. I can’t believe this will be my 60th blog post! I feel like 60 is a pretty cool number to get to : ) I bet 160 blog posts will be even more exciting!

When I met Lauren in her hotel room on the morning of her wedding, she seemed to have tucked away any stress and nerves she may have had into a little box and put it away for the day. Lauren was all smiles as the back of her sweet dress was laced and her white veil put in place. To say she looked angelic is an understatement : ) 

“I love you simply, without problems or pride: I love you in this way because I do not know any other way of loving but this, in which there is no I or you, so intimate that your hand upon my chest is my hand, so intimate that when I fall asleep your eyes close.” […]

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!

He stood beside her, as they waited behind the thick wood door of The Whiteface Lodge. Inside the excited cheers of friends and family echoed through the room as their grandparents entered the reception. The band announced their families, and then the last of their wedding party danced into the Whispering Pines to wild applause. They were next, his beautiful bride, his wife and best friend, by his side. “And now for their first appearance as Mr. and Mrs. Laverty…” echoed through the grand lodge, and they stepped through the doorway, hand-in-hand and side-by-side, as they would be for years to come…

We were gripping our seats in the truck, balancing camera gear and trying to keep their change of clothes from sliding off our laps, while laughing the whole way up Gore Mountain. After climbing out the truck and taking in the stunning views of the Adirondacks, Tim pointed to the peak to our left where in -10° weather with winds swirling, Tim proposed to Maggie during one of their ski trips. I loved looking over to that peak during their engagement session at Gore Mountain, and thinking of the joy and excitement that they both must have been feeling at that moment.
