The Adirondacks have a calm beauty and invite you to adventure, which is why many consider an Adirondack honeymoon. Mountains and lakes are abundant, and so many quiet spaces make you feel as though you have the world to yourself. Luxury resorts will invite you to relax and take in views, while local guides will take you on an outdoor experience that suits your taste.

This session was the last shoot of my 2019 workshop. A portrait session that reflected the time escaping when you are planning a wedding – either during or after. Essentially, a honeymoon session. Inspired by escaping on a lake with your love and feeling like you are the only two people in the world… this is what we captured.

Mary Dougherty Photography is based in Saranac Lake and travels around the world as a wedding photographer to create classic photographs for the modern couple. Hosting a yearly workshop in the Adirondacks allows her to share epic locations and natural beauty with other photographers. Her workshop focuses on relationships, both in the real couples she has model and the attendees looking to improve their life and business. You can learn more here.

A classic Cape Cod wedding never goes out of style, especially at the Kittansett Club.

A Chautauqua wedding is stunning no matter the size. Karen and Walker pivoted to host the most amazing micro wedding at this historic American retreat.
