Green Lakes State Park Wedding. Fayetteville, NY.
In the serene setting of Green Lakes State Park in Fayetteville, NY, a very special wedding unfolded—one that was close to my heart as it celebrated my sister Becca and her partner Freddy. The day was marked by brilliant sunshine and heartfelt moments, making it an unforgettable celebration of love and family.
As both one of the photographers and the officiant, I had the unique honor of viewing this beautiful occasion from multiple perspectives, capturing the essence of the day both through my lens and through the words I shared during the ceremony. The lakeside setting provided a breathtaking backdrop, where the sunlight danced upon the water and the natural beauty of the surroundings echoed the joy of the occasion. (Shoutout to my friend Meghan for shooting the bulk of this wedding for me so that I could celebrate with my family)
The ceremony by the lake was picturesque and moving, surrounded by the beauty of Green Lakes State Park and the warmth of close family and friends. The vows were exchanged under the canopy of blue skies and the lush greenery that makes the park a gem of nature.
Following the ceremony, the reception was filled with emotional speeches that tugged at the heartstrings. The best man, my other sister who was the maid of honor, our father, and even the bride herself, Becca, delivered speeches that were both poignant and uplifting, filled with anecdotes, laughter, and a few tears of joy.
To everyone’s delight, the celebration also featured amazing pizza, creating a laid-back, enjoyable dining experience that complemented the casual and intimate vibe of the day. Adding to the uniqueness was Skippy’s ice cream truck, which rolled in to provide a sweet treat, much to the delight of guests young and old.
Becca and Freddy’s wedding was not just a union of two people but a celebration that brought together everyone dear to them. It was a day characterized by natural beauty, emotional speeches, delicious food, and, most importantly, the love and laughter of family.
