Cheers to a fresh new year. I can’t think of a better way to ring in the new year than sharing this absolutely stunning Sagamore wedding for the sweetest couple, complete with fireworks of their own.

Where do I even begin with the Stewarts? Aneesa and Glenn are two of the most wonderful people I have ever had the joy of getting to know. Their wedding day was full of fun and one of the brightest celebrations of the year!

Renaissance Floral Design​​​​​​​​ wowed us all with the blooms for Aneesa and her bridesmaids. I love how they brought in the bold, bright colors that Aneesa loves in such a stunning way. Seeing all the fun colors again during their reception with their candy bar for all their guests was so fun! Brides, you don’t have to shy away from fun colors when planning your big day.

The Sagamore Resort

The Sagamore Resort on Lake George couldn’t have been more perfect. Tucked away in the Adirondack Mountains in Upstate NY, it was the dreamiest place for a wedding. It also provided some of the most epic portrait locations, which is the key to any photographer’s heart.

We started the day near the water with Aneesa and all her bridesmaids. Later, Glenn, Aneesa, and I snuck away to the dock on the property for sunset portraits, which were beyond beautiful. They even chartered a boat for the evening, and I love that it gave them a little time to themselves on such a special day. Plus, the portraits were beautiful, too!

But, nothing could top what they had planned to end the evening. Aneesa and Glenn surprised their guests at the end of the night with the most spectacular fireworks. It was the perfect way to celebrate a new life together!
