Audrey and Cliff’s Lake Shore Village Resort wedding weekend in Weare, New Hampshire was perfect! They kicked things off with a welcome party the night before their wedding. Family and friends staying on site enjoyed a taco bar, lawn games, and a cozy bonfire with s’mores. Speeches were given under the tent by the couple’s siblings. Audrey and Cliff currently live in Switzerland, and since we couldn’t do an engagement session, we used the welcome party as a warm-up in front of the camera! Their wedding day was filled with bright colors, nonstop laughter, and loved ones who traveled from all over. A & C’s vibrant wedding vision came to life effortlessly. It was sweet, relaxed, and full of sweet moments from start to finish!

Getting Ready
We arrived the next day back at Lake Shore Village Resort to lake views, foliage, and amazing energy! Audrey got ready with her bridesmaids and family in their cozy cabin as soft light poured in. She wore a custom “Camp Norrington” shirt to match their camp-themed weekend, which would also be gifted to every guest during the reception. Meanwhile, Cliff and his groomsmen got ready just a few cabins away. Cliff’s stepdad, Gary, helped with final touches before the guys shared a quick cheers. Back at Audrey’s cabin, she slipped into her dress. Cliff’s mom helped her with the zipper, while her mom fastened her necklace. Audrey’s jewelry represented her “something borrowed” with pieces from both her mother and grandmother. Once they were ready, we brought Audrey and Cliff to the dock for a private first look. Cliff’s reaction was too sweet! They shared the sweetest moment by the water before jumping into portraits together. From there, we moved right into wedding party and family photos before the ceremony began!
Lake Side Ceremony
Audrey and Cliff’s lakefront backdrop on the sandy beach was the perfect ceremony setting. Their friend Zach officiated, which made the moment feel even more personal. Cliff and Zach walked down the aisle first, followed by the groomsmen and bridesmaid pairs. Soon after, Audrey arrived with her dad as the crowd stood, and Cliff’s smile grew with every step. The couple then shared emotional personal vows that had guests tearing up. Once pronounced husband and wife, they sealed it with a kiss. As they walked back up the aisle, they paused for a picture-perfect dip kiss with the lake in the background. Afterward, guests made their way under the tent for cocktail hour as the celebration officially kicked off. Before the reception began, we whisked the newlyweds to the dock for golden hour portraits!
Lake Shore Village Resort Reception
As cocktail hour came to an end, guests gathered under the beautifully decorated tent bursting with color. Once everyone found their seats, the introductions began. After the parents and wedding party entered, Audrey and Cliff made their big entrance. Immediately, the tent lit up with cheers as they stepped right into a perfectly choreographed first dance, complete with lifts, dips, and spins! Next came toasts. Audrey’s dad spoke first, followed by Cliff’s mom. Soon after, the Best Man, Gary, and Maid of Honor, Tara, shared kind words that had everyone smiling. Dinner then followed, served family-style down long caterpillar tables — such a fun & unique setup! Once dinner wrapped up, Audrey and Cliff cut their cake, with their dog Suki as the topper! After that sweet moment, they kicked off the dance floor with a group photo. From there, the party exploded into non-stop dancing, complete with a conga line & the cupid shuffle!
