Discovering Shannon and Nate's wedding was like a breath of fresh air. Looking through the photos by Becky Carpenter of Brown Street Studios, the couple's union reminded us of those long, dreamy days of summer back at camp, albeit a rather chic camp! Coon's Franklin Lodge held all the rustic elements for the big day, from the surrounding deep woods and tranquil lake, to accommodations made from robust logs and solid stone fireplaces. We adored the pleasant details that brought a simple elegance to the day, such as luxuriant white and green florals, a refined dinner menu selection and a gracefully bare wedding cake. The couple relished being amongst family and friends as they shared laughs and a champagne toast before dancing away into the setting sun.
From the Photographer:
Where do I even begin with this
gorgeous wedding event? Ben and I had the most wonderful time photographing
Shannon & Nate’s special day. Guests were gathered from near (the island
across the bay), and far (New York and London), to help the couple celebrate
their wedding day at Coon’s Franklin Lodge. This is the resort’s 124th summer, talk
about historic! The resort radiates rustic north woods charm in every corner.
From hand-hewn log buildings to vintage style textiles & linens, they have
it all! Nan & Sara, along with their staff welcomed each guest and
attended to every detail of the day with great care. With the always fantastic
wedding coordinator D’Arcy Theiler, personalized details stood out at every
turn. It was a pleasure to work with such a talented team. The day was full of
moments that truly captured Shannon & Nate’s joy and love for each other. A
beautiful ceremony, followed by a champagne toast overlooking Trout Lake,
set festivities in motion. After a short walk along the lake, the guests
were treated to a relaxing cocktail hour at the main lodge. Following a
fantastic dinner in the resort’s historic dining room, it was time to let loose
and enjoy the live band. We truly felt the joy from all involved.
