Some wedding days are so good, I have to pinch myself to remind me that this is actually real life. Meighen + Chris’ weddings was one of those days. From the moment I walked onto Chris’ family property in Lake George, NY, it felt like home. Cultivating that type of an atmosphere is a gift, and Meighen, Chris, and all of their family members and friends had it - and gave it freely. 💛

THE COUPLE

Meighen + Chris are the most endearing of couples. Warm, friendly, trusting - they are people you love spending time with. When we first met to talk about their wedding, Meighen was pregnant with their sweet daughter Emilia, and it was so fun to then get to the wedding and witness her be a part of their day. She was the most precious little miss, and such a beautiful addition to the event.

Meighen + Chris were able to take some of their wedding portraits on a boat, which was a special surprise for all of us that day. The neighbor who owned the boat saw us taking photos on the dock, drove right up, and offered it to us for photos - what a gem of a human.

THE VENUE

Meighen + Chris got married on Chris’ family property in Lake George, NY. Hosting family events is their thing, and what better family event to host than a wedding? The weather was perfectly autumnal - a little moody, a little windy, a little sunny, and a little sprinkly. They got ready in the family’s little house on site, had an outdoor wedding ceremony, and then a tented reception.

THE DETAILS

All of the details for the wedding day were themed around the fall, as many gorgeous September weddings are. Orange leaves. Warm florals. Greenery that was just starting to turn color.

While I am not a person who obsesses over wedding day details, I always appreciate them. They’re usually sweet and thoughtful, and that’s how I felt about the details on this wedding day, too.

THE RECEPTION

I think tented receptions are so precious because they tend to feel more intimate and carefree than traditional venue receptions do. Seeing all of Meighen + Chris’ family and friends dance under the tent, even when they had to put their jackets on at night because the weather turned slightly colder, was the most heartwarming thing to behold. There was a little bit of whimsy and magic to it - especially as the sun set over the mountains. ✨
