Trish & Rick ~ Feature Film ~ Sagamore

Sunday, December 11th, 2011

Trish and Rick live near New York City, and on the day Hurricane Irene made landfall there, they got married. Luckily, they and all their guests were safe and sound enjoying the beautiful weather at the Sagamore on Lake George.

When I arrived that morning, Trish and her girls were getting ready in the bridal suite with the TV on, keeping an eye on the weather reports.  Trish was calm as could be - until her dad got emotional and the tears started flowing.  She quickly regained her composure and made her way down the long, long aisle to where Rick was waiting for her. With Lake George as their backdrop, they made it official then headed up the hill for pictures and their party.

In the tent, Lindsay Landman (their designer/planner) was making sure nothing was overlooked.  The room was absolutely gorgeous, and Trish & Rick had the best seats in the house - front and center by the dance floor so they could be right next to the action and the toasts.  I must add that the best man’s toast, which I have watched somewhere in the double digits now, still makes me laugh every time I see it.

The rest of the night was a non-stop party, which included jumping rope, the robot, a surprise fireworks display and the three man wolf pack ending the night up on stage with the band.

Here is Trish & Rick’s feature film from their August 2011 wedding.  Enjoy and feel free to leave comments for the happy couple!

Becky & Chris ~ Feature Film ~ Sagamore

Saturday, November 5th, 2011

Chris & Becky picked a beautiful day to get married at the Sagamore. Becky and her mother tried to keep it together as they were getting ready and did so for the most part - at least until Becky’s father walked in. As he walked Becky down the very long aisle, more tears flowed - this time by the groom.

The ceremony was beautiful with the lake in the background and the turquoise and orange dresses and flowers blowing in the breeze. After Chris & Becky were pronounced husband and wife, they made their way around the resort for photos with our friends from Gallery 9 North - the newlyweds even hopped on a boat for a few.

In the tent, the reception kicked off with a special first dance and continued into the evening with dancing and good times for all. On our way out, we were treated to favors of chocolate chip cookie mix too - yum!

Kate & Alex - Wedding Highlights

Tuesday, August 17th, 2010

“Wait,” Kate’s father instructed Alex when they reached the end of the aisle. He wanted one more moment with his daughter. So Alex waited, and when he finally got to take Kate’s hand he was given one more instruction, “Take care of her”. And that’s how their life as a married couple began.

For those of you that frequent the Elario blog, you’ll recognize Kate & Alex from their engagement photos - they’re the Fenway Park couple. I saw their photos myself and was so excited when they contacted me to help document their day - and what a wonderful day it was. Blue skies, white fluffy clouds, perfect weather and everything taking place on Lake George. You couldn’t ask for a better day.

Kate got ready in Ticonderoga at a house right on the lake. As she was getting her make up done, her sister handed her a gift that Alex had sent over - gorgeous custom earrings to match her engagement ring. She immediately swapped out the pearls she was going to wear. When she was done getting ready Kate headed downstairs where her father was waiting for her.  She then grabbed her beautiful bouquet created by Kris Ann of Fleurtacious Designs and headed outside for photos by the lake with her bridesmaids.  Big Joe & JP from Joe Elario Photography were on hand to create the images that day and once again did an amazing job (check out the photos here).  The ceremony was right up the road at St. Mary’s which was followed by the reception at The Sagamore.  While the guests enjoyed the cocktail hour, I hopped on a boat with JP and the bridal party to get some shots out on the lake.  If you’re getting married near a lake, I highly recommend this - so much fun.   We headed back to a cheering crowd and as Kate & Alex made their way up to the party, everyone they passed congratulated them and told them how great they looked!

Soon the reception started and DJ Paul Malo introduced the new couple/Red Sox fans to a cheering crowd as they entered the room to a fun Dropkick Murphys tune.  From there, the rest of the night just flew by. 

On a personal note, Amanda and I would like to send out special thanks to Nick and Annamae Fleming for their help that day.  Thank you!  ;)
