The Marriage of Lora-Ashley & Eamonn
August 20, 2022 at The Maples Estate

Schoharie, NY - Upstate, NY

This extended weekend estate wedding in upstate New York was a true family affair!

Lora-Ashley and Eamonn arrived at The Maples Estate on Thursday, dropped off a couple family golf carts and headed off for a full day of fun at the lake with their bridal parties! Back at the house that evening they enjoyed a simple dinner with friends and family and prepped for another full day on Friday. First thing in the morning Eamonn’s crew headed off for a day of golf and Lora’s crew made their way to a petting zoo for goat yoga followed by a rehearsal ceremony and dinner that evening.

This couple embraced the weekend with activities every day and got to spend so much quality time with their family and friends before their wedding day even began on Saturday.

An extended engagement

Lora and Eamonn booked The Maples Estate back in 2019 and knew they wanted an extended engagement with their wedding planned for summer 2022. Little did we know that COVID-19 was just around the corner and their timing could not have been better. Having two young children at the time of their engagement, they wanted to ensure their children would be old enough to enjoy their wedding and I’m so glad they waited as their adorable kids were involved in every bit of their day! From glamming together in the get ready room, to walking down the aisle and dancing into the evening they had the time of their lives and I’m sure they will remember their parent’s special day as they grow older.

Keep in mind, an extended engagement can also allow you additional time to plan or save for your dream wedding!

Getting Ready!

The get ready room was the place to be with all the bridal party glamming together. From friends and family to adorable children and multiple first looks, Lora-Ashley and Eamonn enjoyed the morning of their wedding surrounded by their loved ones.

Time to Celebrate!

As the day progressed they enjoyed time in the pool, relaxed in the hammock, got ready for the evenings events and took photos throughout the estate! An estate wedding at The Maples Estate means so much time to celebrate!!

First Look

This first look in our meadow was so beautiful and captured from all angles! They even enjoyed photos in the estate farmhouse following their first look before guests arrived for their ceremony.

The Ceremony

A ceremony under the trees is one of our favorites and this 180 person guest list enjoyed views of the hills while Lora-Ashley and Eamonn said their vows. With two friends and their officiants, they had a very personal ceremony that spoke to both of them as individuals.

The Reception

The reception would not have been complete without this mother son dance with rival team jerseys! Such a fun, charismatic and loving group that danced the night away under the stars!
