The Margate Wedding – Lake Winnipesaukee, NH – Madison & Zack

Ever since we had so much fun at Madison & Zack’s Salem Willows engagement session, I couldn’t wait for their June wedding at The Margate Resort on Lake Winnipesaukee.  Destination weddings are always fun, they’re like mini vacations for me, so I was excited to have a weekend away and shoot a great wedding in the process!

The whole day was so much fun, full of family and friends, lots of laughs and an overall great time.  Madison is a very detail-oriented bride and it showed.  Everything was set up, planned out and decorated to perfection.  One of my favorite details was the aisle runner she made with their timeline starting from when they met and going all the way until the wedding day.  It was so creative and sweet!  But my absolute favorite part of the ceremony were the tortoise ring bearers.  They own 2 tortoises which we had planned to have them in the engagement session but it didn’t work out.  I was so excited to see them at the wedding!  Madison made a special ring bearer pillow to fit over the larger one’s shell and they were pulled in a blue wagon by their nephews.

After we had some fun with photos on beaches and boats, and even included me wading into the lake to get a shot, it was time to party!  They danced the night away and had a great time.  I definitely hope to shoot at the Margate again soon!
