CLAIRE + ERIK – Inn at Erlowest Wedding (Part I of II)

What is better than doing the thing you love most (yes, photographing!) with some of your most favorite people in the world? I can’t think of many things…

I traveled up to Lake George, New York at the end of June to shoot my longtime friend Claire’s wedding. In my mind, this first picture encapsulates the feeling of Lake George: so peaceful, serene, lovely.

The day before their wedding, Claire and Erik (and the crew!) rehearsed at Sacred Heart Catholic and then dined at a family-owned lake house. I was so excited to finally visit the place where Claire and her twin brother, Nick, always talked about growing up. The town was so charming, and I loved all the awesome views. Stay tuned for Claire and Erik’s wedding day!

I always LOVED Claire’s laugh. I can almost hear it through the second photo!

Erik and his brother donned some colorful pants for the occasion. : )

Two of my oldest (and loveliest) friends in love:

I have the privilege of shooting this girl’s wedding this fall… I LOVE her bling and just have always loved her personal style:

Claire and Nick’s Nana is so spunky!

I always (sneakily) try to make it into my friend’s photos…!

Meet the STANIMAL!

Those shades are almost too hot to handle. Ah-mazing!

It’s tradition to jump off the top deck of the dock…

…I was told the water was pretty chilly and Nick’s blue-ish body here confirms it.
