Lake Placid Lodge Micro-Wedding // Adirondacks, New York

An Intimate Lake Placid Lodge Wedding | Kevin & Heather

Picture this: a quiet summer day in the Adirondacks, the peaks standing tall in the background, and a peaceful lake stretching out in every direction. Now add two people completely, wholeheartedly, and gently in love. That was Kevin and Heather’s Lake Placid Lodge micro-wedding, and it was everything a micro-wedding should be: intimate, emotional, and effortlessly beautiful.

A Love That Feels Like Home

Kevin and Heather have the kind of love that is easy, warm, and deeply rooted. They aren’t about grand gestures or over-the-top displays. They’re about the little moments, the deep connection, and the quiet joy of simply being together. Their wedding reflected that perfectly.

They chose to have a small ceremony with only their adult children and their partners in attendance, making every moment feel even more personal. It was truly a family affair, filled with the kind of love that doesn’t need an audience to be powerful.

A Perfect Summer Wedding in the Adirondacks

The wedding took place in early August, and if you’ve ever been to the Adirondacks in the summer, you know how magical it is. The weather was perfect, with a soft breeze rolling in from the lake and the sun warming the mountain peaks in the distance. Everything about the day felt calm and unhurried, just like Kevin and Heather.

Heather got ready with their daughters, sharing quiet moments filled with laughter and anticipation. Meanwhile, Kevin spent time with his sons and Heather’s son, making the day feel even more special. Heather’s son had the honor of walking her down the aisle, a moment that left not a single dry eye in sight.

A Ceremony Surrounded by Nature

With Whiteface Mountain towering in the distance and the lake shimmering under the afternoon sun, Kevin and Heather exchanged vows in one of the most breathtaking settings imaginable. The simplicity of the moment made it all the more powerful. No distractions, no unnecessary frills. Just two people promising forever with their closest family watching on.

A Boat Ride Celebration on Lake Placid

After the ceremony, the entire family stepped onto a 35-foot mahogany Hacker-Craft for a private boat ride around Lake Placid. If there’s a more iconic way to soak in the beauty of the Adirondacks, I haven’t found it. They toasted with champagne, laughed, and took in the views, making memories that would last a lifetime.

An Intimate Dinner at the Lodge

The day ended with an intimate dinner back at Lake Placid Lodge. The setting was cozy, elegant, and perfectly Adirondack. They dined on a carefully curated meal infused with local flavors while their children gave heartfelt speeches that had everyone tearing up and laughing all over again. It felt less like a wedding reception and more like the most incredible family vacation wrapped in love and celebration.

Kind Words from Kevin

“From our very first communication, it was clear that Andrea has the enthusiasm, passion, attention to detail, and flexibility that we were looking for. We had a wedding in Lake Placid, New York, and Andrea was excited about the opportunity to come to the mountains for our big day, even though she had to find accommodations during the busy season in the High Peaks of the Adirondacks. She worked the hardest to earn our business (among some very strong competition), and once we settled on her, everything was done professionally, promptly, and with a smile.

We exchanged a number of emails with ideas of what we were looking for, and Andrea exceeded our expectations. On the day of our wedding, Andrea was so positive and fun and fit right into our small wedding group, which consisted of nine people. She let things unfold naturally but also offered great suggestions. We are thrilled with the photos, and we would recommend Andrea for your wedding without hesitation.”
