Neely & Edward's Wedding By The Lake: A Perfect Day Manifested!

If you're a nature lover dreaming of an outdoor wedding, The Lodge at Boulder Lake in Troy is nothing short of breathtaking. With a serene lake as the backdrop and towering trees surrounding the ceremony site, it was the perfect place for Neely and Edward to begin their journey together.

Even though rain was in the forecast, the skies cleared, and the entire day felt like it had been manifested into perfection. Every moment, every detail, came together effortlessly, creating a celebration that was simply flawless.

Before the ceremony, Neely and Edward had a sweet and private moment. Rather than a first look, they stood back to back, holding their vows, and read them to each other without actually seeing one another. It was such a special moment, where they got to express their love and commitment in their own personal way before the big reveal. It really set the tone for the rest of the day, making it even more meaningful. This is a great option when you don’t prefer to do a first look!

When Neely’s mom walked her down the aisle, it was a truly touching moment, honoring the special bond they share and the memory of Neely’s dad. Later, their mother/daughter dance together at the reception was so emotional that there wasn’t a dry eye in the room.

Adding even more charm to the day, Neely and Edward’s grandmothers took on the role of flower girls, and they couldn’t have been more adorable which added a lighthearted vibe to the ceremony.

One of the most memorable parts of the reception was Neely and Edward’s choreographed first dance. You could see how much effort they put into it, and they absolutely nailed it. Everyone deserves a partner who looks at them the way Edward looks at Neely! Their love is the kind that lights up a room and makes you believe in happily ever after!
