Some couples love the idea of stepping just a little off-venue for portraits — a quiet moment together surrounded by the landscapes that make the Adirondacks feel so special.
When planned intentionally, this can add an unforgettable layer to your gallery without disrupting the flow of the day.
Over the years, a few of my favorite areas for this kind of portrait time have included places like Loj Road, Mt. Jo (you might recognize it from the Apple TV screensaver), Indian Head, and even a handful of beautiful spots that aren’t marked on the map at all.
The goal isn’t hiking in wedding attire or going far — it’s choosing a location that feels meaningful, peaceful, and true to you.
If stepping away on the wedding day feels like too much, another great option is scheduling a post-wedding portrait session. This allows us to explore epic scenery without time constraints, crowds, or pressure — and many couples love having the freedom to fully enjoy their wedding day first.
