A Sagamore wedding is the definition of timeless lakeside elegance. Set on a private island overlooking Lake George and the Adirondack Mountains, The Sagamore Resort offers breathtaking views, classic architecture, and an unforgettable setting for summer celebrations. James and Sarah’s wedding captured everything couples love about getting married on the lake—sunshine, sweeping views, a glowing sunset, and an unforgettable dance party.
From a relaxed first look to a sunny ceremony and high-energy reception, their day was joyful, elegant, and full of life.
Getting Ready at The Sagamore Resort
Sarah began her wedding morning at the Sagamore Hotel, surrounded by soft light and the calm of the lake. The historic rooms and waterfront views created a peaceful, beautiful start to the day.
Her look came together seamlessly with hair by Ash Matte Does Hair and makeup by MMU by Jess, while her gown from Lovely Bride Rochester added a timeless, romantic feel. Having everything on-site allowed the morning to unfold naturally and stress-free.
A Sunny Ceremony Overlooking Lake George
The couple exchanged vows during a sun-filled outdoor ceremony overlooking Lake George. The sparkling water and mountain views created a breathtaking backdrop as friends and family gathered to celebrate.
Summer weddings on Lake George are truly special. The warmth, the light reflecting off the lake, and the open air create a ceremony atmosphere that feels both relaxed and elevated—perfect for a Sagamore wedding.
