ERin & Chad’s Chic Fall Wedding in Altamont

Saturday, October 1, 2022

The Appel Inn

Altamont, NY

Erin & Chad tied the knot before family and friends at the Appel Inn, freshly painted in pale yellow and just as charming as ever. Their cocktail hour featured lawn games, hors d’oeuvres and sipping drinks in Adirondack chairs sitting around an outdoor campfire.

Erin & Chad’s Engagement Session

In the lead-up to their wedding, we did an engagement session at Thatcher Park in February. It was one of the coldest days of the year at 25 degrees with the wind gusting at 20mph, but Chad and Erin weren’t the least bit worried. They soaked in the sun, kept each other moving, and took mini breaks in their car to warm up. I love the shots we got and their save-the-dates turned out beautifully!
