Jenny+Cameron at the Whiteface Club in Lake Placid


I’m excited to show you another Summer Whiteface Club and Resort wedding! I always enjoy Lake Placid and working with everyone from Whiteface Club, especially Kristin!

Cameron and Jenny families have known each other for a long long time, and even graduated from high school together…hanging out with the same crowds and dating each other’s friends, etc.   They  dated for a little over 6 years, over the distances (at times he was in Greenville, NC and Jenny was in Savannah, GA), before they moved back to Fayetteville, NC (their hometown). Many of the guests were from North Carolina, and it was nice hearing that Southern draw here in Upstate NY! :)

Jenny’s family has a property in Lake Placid so it was an easy choice to getting married for a destination wedding.

Jenny’s sister (Brooks, the Matron of Honor) grew most of the sunflowers used in Jenny’s bouquet and at the altar.

Meet ‘Banks’, the couples dog named after the North Carolina banks of course, where they love to vacation together.

Jenny’s ‘something old’ was from her mother-in-law, who wore it at her wedding, and then lent it to her sister-in-law when she got married….

The couple’s color was purple, with a somewhat “wildflower” look, with green, yellow, and orange.  Jenny also wanted to incorporate a lot of the birch bark and “Adirondack” feel, without going too overboard with it! I think Lake Placid Flower and Gift nailed that!

Jenny bought purple rain boots, just in case. But not a cloud in the sky all day!

I’ve said this on my blog before and will say it again but Whiteface Club and Resort’s garden is AMAZING! Lots of these butterflies flying around this time of year.

In lieu of “flowers placed at the altar” in memory of their loved ones who have passed away, they hung eight crosses to honor them!

What sums up the Great Out Doors better than an awesome camp fire with the best of friends in the most ideal of locations? S’mores anyone? Don’t worry, this photographer couldn’t pass them up. YUM-YUM!

A quick shot out to the Glass Onion…from Plattsburg, NY.  Great band!  Matt Mero and the rest of the group were so incredibly nice, and they definitely kept the dance floor hopping ALL night!

Enjoy your newly married life back in Fayetteville, NC!

Lisa+Matt @ Whiteface Club+Resort


Up for you on this fine Wednesday we’ve got a lovely wedding from The Whiteface Club & Resort. Kristin, the Wedding and Events Coordinator, is always just a pleasure working with and makes my photograph life so easy for the day! You will be in good hands at the Whiteface Club while Kristin is helping out in your day!

Lisa+Matt have a lot of Adirondack love going on throughout their wedding which us “Upstate-rs” all love!

A nice B&W of the bride and groom to start you all off, and a cameo from the Makeup Artist, Marni Giannotti.

A lovely dress for a lovely bride, from Casablanca Bridal.

A few helping hands finishing getting on Lisa’s dress, and a great Swarovski necklace to compliment the dress.

Love the bouquet with the sunflowers, from Lake Placid Flower & Gift. Goes so well with the After Six bridesmaid dresses!

The Whiteface Club has some serious flowers going on. I just LOVE their garden and can shoot all day in it if Kristin would let me. :)

I just LOVED this butta light on family formals, no less! The light was just perfect for a Lake background!

Congrats you guys. Best of luck in your new married life. ~A

Alexis + Adam – Whiteface Club & Resort


Alexis and Adam had an incredibly fun wedding in the Adirondacks at the Whiteface Club & Resort where they worked with the awesome Kristin Parker. The result was a celebration infused with sweet, personalized details that we just loved.

To start the day off right, a beautiful bride decked out in a drop dead gorgeous Priscilla of Boston Vineyard Collection dress and fabulous Stuart Weitzman shoes. (We have a thing for an amazing dress and killer shoes around here, have you noticed?)

Alexis worked with the spa at Mirror Lake Inn for her hair and makeup. Liz Scofield of Lake Placid Flower and Gift created the beautiful fall-inspired flowers, all in vibrant shades of plum, orange and yellow.

Alexis wore pearl earrings that were an engagement gift from Adam’s mother, a pearl necklace borrowed from her mother and her grandmother’s garter from 1947. Adam wore Laborador Retriever cufflinks that were a wedding gift from Alexis in honor of their beloved lab Hudson.

Adam and Alexis included a mix of both Catholic and Jewish traditions in their ceremony and used a Kiddish cup from Adam’s dad and his wife, Arlyn’s, wedding. At Adam’s request, they also had a bag piper.

Alexis’s bridesmaids wore Melissa Sweet dresses in a gorgeous shade of plum that was just perfect for an early fall wedding. The colors worked perfectly with all of the other details, including the DIY wedding ceremony programs, table numbers, menus and welcome bags that Alexis crafted.

By far one of the coolest guest book ideas we’ve ever seen, Alexis and Adam had guests sign a green painted Adirondack chair in lieu of a traditional guest book.

Alexis’s dad made the birch log cupcake stand, which held incredibly tasty cupcakes from Adirondack Delectables.

The crowd loved Body and Soul and Alexis and Adam showed their guests one heck of a party!

Of course, when we’re in Lake Placid we can’t resist some gorgeous water shots and can’t get enough of these mountain views…
