Classic Lake Winnipesaukee Wedding | emilie inc. photography

This beautiful classic wedding was featured by the very talented Emilie, of emilie inc. photography on my Kate Parker Wedding.  I love lakeside weddings … i mean, don’t get me wrong – i grew up on the beach and i will be a beach gal for life – but there is something about lakes that can calm a person in seconds.  It is the perfect spot to hold a wedding because there is such a serene and peaceful atmosphere, not to mention you get the beauty of the water without the hassle of seagulls.  Below, Emilie shares some insight into the day’s events … take it away Emilie!

“Katie (who, yes, definitely resembles Elisabeth Shue) and Chris are yet another internet dating success story. They live in Boston but married at Chris’ parents’ summer community on the shores of Lake Winnipesaukee. When I met Chris’ mom a few weeks before the wedding to tour Bald Peak, she explained at the first meeting of the parents that both sets were stunned that neither Katie nor Chris had been scooped up because they are both so wonderful, and so wonderful together. Exactly. It was just that matter of that thing called time for them to find one another. And everyone would agree with these happy parents, their children certainly found the right match in each other.”

“Their wedding day was an ideal September Saturday, with bright blue skies and a pretty breeze keeping things cool but not too cold. Highlights of the day included riding to the ceremony in a vintage Rolls Royce and to the reception in a party boat, and ending the night with a beautiful fireworks display.”

    Inspired by Navy

    After more than a foot of snow, I finally made it out of my igloo to return to the real world!  So what was I working on for today?  Well, something warm of course!  While I certainly love the snow and cannot wait touch my skis to a downward slope, I know there are many of you waiting for a warm up!  So Jessica Harris of  Alden Blair Events is certainly the spark behind this week’s nautical inspiration.  Personally, I LOVE navy and coral together. And Jessica certainly reminded me of something I wanted to order for my trip to St. John’s in March — coral Sperry’s!!!

    And featured in the 2011 issue of Seacoast Bride is a nautical-themed dessert bar by Nothing Bakes Like a Parrott.  She’s so creative.  Really, just wait until we show you more from her dessert display!  But for now, I can just vouch for her brownie pops (with ganache) — yummy!!!

      In no particular order, below are our favorite weddings found on Prepare to Wed in 2010.  Ok, these are just the first five, so stay tuned for more.  And let us just say that this was no easy task!

      emilie inc. photography:  An astronomer meets interior designer in New York though decides to marry in the midcoast region of Maine at a private residence.  Even though it was a fog-filled day, the wedding was simply beautiful.

      The Feds Studio: With all that is offered in California, the bride and groom chose to marry in Ashley’s hometown at their family’s local dairy farm, The Hornstra Farm. If my family had this farm, I would too!  Vintage milk glasses were fill with freshly squeezed lemonade and cold chocolate milk.

      Petal’s Edge Floral Design:  This mod wedding featured a vibrant color scheme of yellow, silver and black.  With pin cushion protea for a bridal bouquet and bridesmaids carrying yellow craspedia or yellow coxcomb bundles, this was certainly an original event.

      Fat Orange Cat Studio:  We fell in love with this intimate backyard wedding in Cambridge, Massachusetts which was certainly a family affair with father’s hanging up lights and a huppa made by a good friend.

      Concept Photography: How can you not love this wedding!  The colors were incredible and the texture of the centerpieces with hanging peacock feathers were amazing!
