deanna + stephanie

There is something wildly romantic about choosing adventure over expectation. Deanna and Stephanie did exactly that when they eloped in Lake Placid, tucked deep in the heart of the Adirondack Mountains.
Two brides. One epic mountain backdrop... it was AMAZING!
They rented the sweetest Airbnb, packed up their hiking boots, and yes, brought their cat along for the ride because obviously your family comes with you on a day like this.!
Their elopement wasn’t about timelines or traditions. It was about fresh air, big views, and choosing each other with intention.
And because these two are the definition of bold love, they went ziplining! Harnessed up, laughing, flying over the trees like the Adirondacks themselves were cheering them on. That’s the kind of energy I live for as an LGBTQ elopement photographer. Adventurous. Unapologetic. and so YOU.
What I loved most about photographing Deanna and Stephanie’s Lake Placid elopement was how grounded and intimate  it felt. 
As a queer, inclusive wedding and elopement photographer, creating a safe space for two brides to be fully themselves is never an afterthought. It is the foundation.  
If you’re dreaming of an LGBTQ Adirondack elopement in Lake Placid, one filled with adventure, intimacy, and wildly authentic moments, I am here for it! Mountains, zip lines, Airbnb mornings, windswept vows. Your love story deserves to feel expansive.
