I first met Eileen and Alden while they were on a visit to NY up in the Lake George region.  We met for coffee, and talked about their wedding day.   Alden’s  family owns property in Bolton Landing, which is where they were going to hold their wedding. I knew the area, and how stunning it could be.  The properties blew me away.  And yes, I said properties!  After a conversation with Alden, he explained that the land had been in his family for 5 generations.  Way back, the first was bought, and a handful of others in the same general area shortly followed.

It was breathtaking to walk the property and take it all in.  Eileen and Alden were almost ready for the ceremony to begin.  The backdrop, well it couldn’t have been more perfect.

And did I mention Eileen has 4 brothers???
