Sarah and Luke’s Owl’s Nest Resort wedding in the White Mountains of New Hampshire was an unforgettable day from start to finish. Their sweet pup Brooks joined the celebration, making the day feel even more personal. With mountain views stretching in every direction, the setting could not have been more perfect. From sweet moments to abundant sunshine, their wedding reflected everything that makes a day so special!
We arrived to the Gambrels at Owl’s Nest where Sarah and her bridesmaids prepped in matching black pajamas. Just down the road, Luke and his groomsmen were getting ready, watching football, and hanging out with Brooks! Once dressed, Luke shared a sweet first look with his mom, before he would see Sarah. Back at the girls’ house, Sarah’s mom helped her into her gown before a first look with her dad. Then came the bridesmaids reveal! Sarah surprised them with a completely different dress than they were expecting, and their reactions were priceless! Soon after, Sarah hopped on a golf cart and headed to the ninth hole for her first look with Luke. A tap on the shoulder had him turning to see his beautiful bride. They exchanged personal vows, shared portraits, and then joined their wedding party, families, and Brooks for photos before the ceremony!
Lakehouse Ceremony
It was a picture-perfect day for a Lakehouse ceremony at Owl’s Nest. Sunshine sparkled across the water as guests gathered on the back deck. Christian, a close friend of the couple, officiated, making the ceremony heartfelt and meaningful. Luke walked down the aisle first, followed by his groomsmen, before the bridesmaids made their entrance. Then came Sarah’s big moment! She stepped out with the sun glowing behind her, escorted proudly by both her mom and dad. Luke’s smile grew wider with every step closer she came. Together, Sarah and Luke shared their personal vows once more, sparking tears and laughter from the crowd. After sealing it all with a kiss, they walked back up the aisle hand in hand, pausing for a fun dip kiss that had everyone cheering. Guests then headed to cocktail hour while we whisked the newlyweds away for golden hour portraits glowing in perfect lakefront light!
Lakehouse Wedding Reception
After cocktail hour, guests entered the reception space glowing with candlelight and warm fall colors. The bridesmaids kicked things off by dancing their way in, quickly followed by the groomsmen, setting an energetic tone. Soon after, the doors opened for Sarah and Luke’s grand entrance. The couple lit up the room as they took the dance floor, spinning and kissing through their first dance. Once at their sweetheart table, the evening continued with toasts. Luke’s dad started with a lighthearted tribute, followed by Sarah’s mom, the Maid of Honor, Becky, and the Best Man, Ryan. Laughter and tears filled the room as each toast reflected the couple’s love story. Dinner was served, and guests enjoyed the cozy atmosphere. Afterward, Sarah and Luke cut their cake and stepped into parent dances. Finally, the dance floor opened, and Sarah changed into her reception dress and the party really got going! Sarah and Luke both ended the night in custom “Lavash” Celtics jerseys!
