​A perfect example of synergy. There were 1000 things to do. Cocktail hour just about to start. Passed appetizers being plated. Food station being set. We had this charming idea of a tiered pre pour station greeting. Champagne and wine. Until the wind started gusting. And glasses were  blowing over into each other and breaking. Enter team synergy. The most important element of a successful event. This amazing serving crew from The Hindquarter Catering jumped in to help bartenders from Olive or Twist Traveling Bar Co. For a holding team long enough to save the day. Go team!!

A fairytale. This lovely couple married at the club where they met through a reluctant introduction by their mothers. Their guests enjoyed an Adirondack retreat weekend with tennis, hiking, golf and breakfast, lunch and dinner at the club. All punctuated by perfect weather and relaxed smiles.

The couple was gracious and kind from the beginning of the planning process and right through the Wedding day. Often saying, “whatever you think is best Mim, we trust you—you do this all of the time.”
​
Embarrassingly, during their speech of the friends and family they wanted to thank for making their relationship and day possible they mentioned Mim, who at the time smiled back and nodded—but felt like crawling under the dining table. Not that I’m shy, but I feel a job well done from a planner is a humble and invisible one.

A special local couple enjoyed a magical day with picture-perfect June weather at amazing local venues! The ceremony at beautiful St. Agnes Church, followed by reception at Intervale Base Lodge at Olympic Jumping Complex, with Good Guy Productions entertainment, Little Farmhouse Flowers, and Simply Gourmet Catering, unified this fairy-tale event. We look forward to sharing the photo album captured by Out of the Ordinary Photography. #LakePlacidWedding @ericewilsongoodguyproductions @SimplyGourmetLakePlacid  @littlefarmhouseflowers @ootophoto

When working with a client recently, the bride asked me if she should consider a second shooter, since her wedding would have about 200 guests. I replied that the second shoot had less to do with covering a shot for all of the guests but instead for capturing moments at the wedding that are simultaneous. i.e., bride and groom getting ready in different places at the same time, the grooms face when the bride is coming down the aisle and the brides face at that same magic moment, detail shots of the set up of reception room before guests enter—at the same time family portraits are being taken.
​
In my experience, the second shooter is most critical until guests are seated for dinner, at that point events consolidate and it is easier to capture moments in one space as they unfold for one photographer. 

A colleague and great photographer posted this great explanation recently.

Connor will be returning for a third planning season after graduating college and Joseph Wilson returns for his second season. With this experienced and cohesive staff, there is little that can’t be done to make sure your every need is met on event day, or in advance.

A guest book you can use, display and cherish forever! Today guests are getting personal and creative when it comes to guest book ideas, signing and Adirondack Chair, a pair of antique skis, and a guest book quilt. This beautiful quilt was put together after a recent wedding. At the event, guest signed pre-cut quilt squares with a permanent fabric pen, later it was quilted together by a close family friend and served as the wedding gift to the couple. What a keepsake to treasure over. Another great idea or inspiration to break the traditional mold and do things your way for your day. #weddingquilt ​#guestbook

There was just enough snow on the ground to blanket the earth in white for this romantic early December wedding. 
The event took place at the glorious St. Agnes Church and the Whiteface Lodge. Juniper Events & Design created a look for the Whiteface Lodge terrace with romantic candlelight dinner and then brightened up the Pines room with Ivory accents of drapery and furnishings and lighting to fit the bride’s vision. Stay tuned for full photo gallery of this dreamy wedding! ​#decemberwedding @whitefacelodge ​@mateovaleproductions
