Maddie and Austin said “I do” at The Lodge at Schroon Lake, a lakefront Adirondack resort in upstate New York with towering pines, sparkling blue water, and classic rustic-lodge charm. The guys kicked off the day with a game of pool, while Maddie and her bridesmaids got ready together before changing into flowing gowns in shades of emerald and sage.

Their first look on the dock, with Schroon Lake shimmering all around them, was one of the most beautiful moments of the day. The ceremony took place on the lawn overlooking the water, beneath an arch of white florals and draped fabric, surrounded by the people they love most, and ended with a joyful, fist-pumping walk back down the aisle.

After golden-hour portraits among the pines, the celebration moved into the lodge’s stone-and-timber ballroom for heartfelt toasts, a sweet first dance, and a packed dance floor that didn’t slow down all night.
