The Perfect Fall Wedding in the Adirondacks


Paige and Cory’s wedding day was nothing short of magical. After months of planning and anticipation, their big day arrived on a crisp November morning in the Adirondacks. The day started with clouds hanging over Lake George, but by the time the festivities were underway, the sun peeked out to shine on their celebration.

The morning began with Paige getting ready in the cozy bridal suite at the Inn at Erlowest, surrounded by her mom and her bridesmaids. Meanwhile, Cory and his groomsmen were a few steps away in a cabin on the property, where they kept the mood light and fun (complete with matching bobbleheads that had everyone laughing).

When everyone was ready, the wedding party piled into the party bus and headed to St. Mary’s Church in Glens Falls. The church was absolutely stunning, but it was the love between Paige and Cory that truly filled the room. From the laughter that bubbled up during heartfelt vows to the emotional glances shared between the two, their ceremony was a beautiful mix of joy and sentiment. When they shared their first kiss as husband and wife, the cheers from their family and friends made the moment even sweeter.

After the ceremony, we returned to the Inn at Erlowest, where the celebrations really began. The bridal party and family gathered for portraits, and then it was time for the most romantic part of the day: Paige and Cory’s sunset portraits. With the golden November light reflecting off Lake George, they shared quiet, sweet moments on the dock. The beauty of the scenery and the love between them made for photos that just felt nostalgic.

One of the best parts of the day was seeing Paige and Cory actually enjoy their cocktail hour together—something I always try to make happen for my couples. From there, the reception kicked off in the most hilarious way: Cory’s groomsmen surprised him by “icing” him, which had everyone cracking up. The rest of the night was filled with heartfelt speeches, incredible music, and a dance floor that stayed packed all night long.
