Mountaintop Intimate Wedding // Lake Placid ADK

One of the first things I remember Kylie saying when we hopped on the phone to discuss her and Sean’s intimate wedding was “I just love him so much and I can’t wait to marry my best friend”. You know how you can just tell in someones voice how genuine they are being? It wasn’t a to-do list or “well it was about time” kind of response. It was a real, genuine, happy and giddy excitement and it  tugged straight on the heart strings folks!

The first time meeting them I brought my babe along (The hubs..aka: Ryan) to shoot with me. We met at a campground in the mountains under a tarp while we waited for the rain to lighten up and do their engagement photos. I like to think we all became pretty close that day because Sean + Kylie’s dog, Yukon got loose and we ended up chasing him across a big open field into the woods. It made for a good story!

Fast forward to their wedding day. Kylie gets out of the car and I start tearing up. Which then makes Kylie start tearing up. Which was a fail on my end because somewhere out there is a written rule that you’re not allowed to have ‘the feels’ before you walk down the aisle and mess up your makeup. Also, having Ryan marry these two was just the icing on the cake. It makes me so happy that my job title goes far beyond signing a contract and being behind a camera. We really loved getting to know these guys and their mountaintop wedding was nothing short of breathtaking.

Sidenote: Be more like this bride who says “Have me do anything you want. That’s why I bought the dress” and “No, I don’t need shoes”
