When couples say they want to keep things simple, intentional, and scenic, we can’t help but think of the Adirondacks. Deserez and Brandon’s lakeside micro-wedding near Lake Placid was exactly that – quiet, heartfelt, and filled with meaning.

Picture this: music playing, Deserez walking in with her dad, and tissues coming out left and right. Yep, not a dry eye in sight. Their lakeside vows were short and sweet, shared with their closest people in a spot that felt like pure Adirondack magic.

After the “I do’s,” these two traded dress shoes for hiking boots and set off on a mountain adventure. It was the perfect balance, celebrating with family in a lakeside ceremony and then slipping away for a little Adirondack magic of their own.

What made it even better was how true it felt to who they are. No huge production, no endless timeline – just a day about connection, family, and one of their favorite corners of the world. Lake Placid has been part of their story since those early trips together, so it was the perfect backdrop to start this next chapter.
