Kelsey and Justin’s wedding was nothing short of magical, set against the stunning backdrop of the Adirondacks on a sunny, hot June day. Their celebration was filled with personal touches that made the day uniquely theirs.

A Perfect Adirondack Retreat for Their Guests The couple rented two large Airbnbs right next to each other in Lake Placid, NY, allowing their guests to stay on the property and fully immerse themselves in the celebration. A big white tent was set up in the backyard for the reception, while a beautifully decorated ceremony arch marked the spot where they would exchange vows.

Getting Ready: A Heartfelt Exchange Before the ceremony, Kelsey and Justin took a quiet moment to exchange letters, sharing their love and appreciation for one another. It was a touching start to a day filled with deep emotion and joyful moments.

A Unique Ceremony with Special Traditions Kelsey and Justin opted for a first look down the aisle, with Kelsey making a breathtaking entrance from the second story of the Airbnb, descending to meet her father before walking to the ceremony site. Their wedding date was extra special as both sets of parents had also been married on that same date. During the ceremony, they added a personal touch by sharing a sip of beer, symbolizing their vows, with the beer featuring a Gaelic Irish quote of commitment.

Scenic Portraits at Marcy Field After the ceremony, the newlyweds embraced their adventurous spirits and enjoyed fresh oysters before heading to Marcy Field for portraits. The Adirondack Mountains provided a breathtaking backdrop where we found the perfect angles to capture their love.

Kelsey, who had gone barefoot all day was the epitome of carefree. Justin made a fun, energetic entrance, setting the tone for an unforgettable evening. They danced, took celebratory shots, and soaked in every moment of the celebration.
