A Lake Placid Lodge Wedding | New York Wedding Photographer

Annie & Luke | July 31, 2016 | Lake Placid, New York

I first met Annie the way I meet a lot of my clients. We e-mailed back and forth, met up to chat & answer questions, planned the engagement session… Yet, just in the first few months of knowing Annie we became instant friends. Annie & I both lived in Burlington and Luke and I actually knew each other a little from college. We lived in the same freshman dorm at UVM (Buckham represent!) and like anytime when you connect with someone from undergrad, you discover a ton of mutual friends. Annie & Luke’s wedding was a big collision of worlds because I am also close friends with their wedding planner, Jerica from Et Cetera Event Company (she’s amazing!), and on top of that my roommate was a guest because her boyfriend, Spencer, was one of the groomsmen… Like I said, a big collision of lots of friends from different parts of my life. So needless to say, their wedding was one I was looking forward to for lots of reasons.

The forecast was calling for rain on their wedding day right up until the night before. I had all my rain gear packed, but when I woke up on Sunday morning, it was nothing but sunshine & blue skies. It was the perfect foundation for their gorgeous wedding in Lake Placid, New York, where Annie & Luke first met. In fact, their first date was at the Lake Placid Lodge (heart melt)! They had their ceremony out on an island, we went on a boat ride in a classically beautiful Chris Craft boat, and these two danced the night away under twinkle lights. It was so dreamy & so perfect, and I wouldn’t have imagined anything less for Annie & Luke. I’m so honored I got to be there to capture it, and am so excited to be sharing it today!
