Eric and Mackenzie’s wedding was the epitome of timeless elegance, unfolding on the eastern shores of Lake George at one of the area’s most beautiful wedding venues in Lake George – the Lake George Club. From the stunning lake views to the heartfelt moments shared, their celebration was a true reflection of the love and excitement surrounding their special day.
The Morning of the Wedding
The day began with Mackenzie and her bridesmaids preparing for the wedding in a picturesque setting, surrounded by breathtaking views of Lake George. As they settled in for hair and makeup, the excitement built up for the day ahead. The first stop was a deeply emotional moment: Mackenzie shared a tearful first look with her father at her grandparents’ camp on the lake. This intimate moment was made even more special when Mackenzie gifted her father a tie featuring a sewn-in photo of the two of them, adding a personal and touching detail to their first look.
Meanwhile, Eric and the groomsmen enjoyed a more relaxed start to the day, posing for photos by the docks and taking in the essence of a Lake George wedding. These pre-ceremony moments helped capture the peaceful beauty of the day as the couple prepared to embark on their lifelong journey together.
A Private First Look and Family Moments
After their individual moments, Eric and Mackenzie shared a private first look that was filled with emotion. It was the perfect start to the formal portraits, where the couple made sure to highlight their new family dynamic, especially with Eric’s son. The love and joy they shared were evident in every photo, capturing the essence of their blended family and the happiness they felt on this special day.
The Ceremony at Lakeside Chapel
The couple’s ceremony took place at the historic Lakeside Chapel in Cleverdale, a stunning location with deep sentimental value. It was the very same church where Mackenzie’s parents had exchanged vows, adding another layer of significance to the ceremony. As they exchanged vows surrounded by family and friends, the beauty of the lakeside setting and the rich history of the location made this moment even more unforgettable.
Cocktail Hour and Scenic Boat Ride
After the ceremony, guests were invited to a delightful cocktail hour at the Lake George Club, a premier venue for weddings on Lake George. With its elegant charm and lakeside setting, the Lake George Club provided the perfect place for guests to mingle and enjoy stunning views. Meanwhile, Eric and Mackenzie took a scenic boat ride in one of Lake George’s iconic wooden boats. The couple even revved up the engine for an exhilarating high-speed flyby, adding a fun and adventurous twist to their day!
Reception, Speeches, and Surprise Entertainment
Back at the Lake George Club, the couple’s reception began with their first dance, a touching moment that was followed by dances with their parents. But the fun didn’t stop there—Eric surprised everyone by performing a hand-written rap about their relationship, showing off his creativity and humor. It was a unique and personal touch that had everyone laughing along.
The night continued with music and dancing, as guests celebrated with the newlyweds and partied the night away. The evening culminated in a magical sparkler sendoff, marking the end of a perfect Lake George wedding celebration.
