Lake Winnipesaukee Wedding || Liz and John
I was so excited for Liz and John’s wedding day! A sunny September Lake Winnipesaukee wedding is always something special, but this one felt even more personal right from the start.
Their venue was such a meaningful spot - Liz’s aunt and uncle’s campground that’s currently being lovingly renovated - and it made the whole day feel relaxed, intimate, and completely them. I got there a little early and took in the space, with Lake Winnipesaukee nearby and that late-summer sunshine filtering through… just one of those days you know is going to be a good one.
Liz and John are such a laid-back, quiet couple, and you could feel how grounded they were in each other all day long. They really just soaked everything in - staying present, staying close, and not letting anything pull them out of the moment. And of course, they had their sweet little dog by their side (which I absolutely loved), even sitting with them during the ceremony. Such a perfect, personal touch.
As the day went on, things flowed so naturally. Lots of hugs, laughter, and those in-between moments that make a wedding feel so full. When the night picked up, so did the energy, in the best way! Their friends and family definitely showed up ready to celebrate, and it turned into such a fun party.
There were so many great details woven throughout the day. A food truck for dinner (always a hit), and a big dessert buffet that was almost too pretty to eat (almost!). And their choreographed first dance - so special and so well done. You could just see how much joy they were having together.
This day really felt like the perfect mix of calm, meaningful moments and full-on celebration. I absolutely loved being a part of it!

John and Liz had their first look on this secluded bridge above this little stream (or a creek as we say where I’m from :)). It was the perfect spot with the midday sun streaming in through the trees behind them.
The wedding party looks were perfect! The different colors of green for the the bridesmaids, and the less formal look for the guys with the vests.
So sweet!
I love the lake backdrop and how the trees frame the ceremony space here.
Absolutely gorgeous!
A beautiful space under the tent - complete with a Taylor Swift inspired photo backdrop - with “It’s a Love Story” at the top.
Gotta love a sister’s toast for the laughs, tears and of course embarrassing stories.
Just a few minutes for some golden light photos with the lake and mountain in the background!
The absolutely amazing dessert buffet! I might’ve grabbed a cookie… or two. :)
I always love a good anniversary dance!
This crew kept the party going all night long!
Love an outfit change during the reception!
