Emily Belanger Photography specializes in experience-driven Adirondack elopements and intimate weddings, combining documentary-style photography with full-service planning for couples seeking an authentic, adventure-filled wedding day.
Experience-Driven Adirondack Elopements & Intimate Weddings
Emily Belanger Photography specializes in elopements and intimate weddings throughout Lake Placid, Lake George, the High Peaks region, Saranac Lake, Old Forge, Inlet, Tupper Lake, Long Lake, Wilmington, Jay, Saratoga Springs, and elsewhere throughout the Adirondacks and Upstate New York.
With a documentary approach, Emily captures genuine moments while showcasing the breathtaking landscapes that make the Adirondacks such an unforgettable place to say "I do."
Full-Service Planning for a Stress-Free Wedding Day
More than a photographer, Emily serves as a planning partner throughout the entire elopement experience. From recommending hidden ceremony locations and building custom timelines to helping secure permits, suggesting trusted local vendors, and finding the perfect Airbnb or lodging, every detail is thoughtfully planned so couples can focus on enjoying their day.
Each collection also includes 24-hour sneak peeks, an online gallery of high-resolution images, behind-the-scenes content, heirloom album options, and the ability to add a dedicated officiant.
Local Expertise & A Personal Perspective
After more than a decade exploring the Adirondacks, Emily offers local knowledge that goes far beyond photography. She helps couples discover scenic overlooks, quiet lakes, mountain summits, and lesser-known locations tailored to their vision rather than relying on the same popular spots.
Having chosen to elope herself in 2022, Emily understands firsthand why couples seek a more intentional wedding experience. Combined with her background in law enforcement, she brings calm decision-making, preparation, and confidence to every celebration, helping couples feel supported from the first conversation to the final photograph.
Personalized Elopements for Every Adventure
Whether you're planning a mountaintop ceremony, a lakeside exchange of vows, or a dog-friendly celebration with your closest loved ones, Emily Belanger Photography creates experiences that reflect who you are as a couple. Hiking and non-hiking locations, family-friendly options, and Leave No Trace guidance ensure every wedding day is both meaningful and uniquely your own.
Emily believes your wedding day, as one of the first big decisions you'll make as a married couple, should genuinely reflect who you are, to set the tone for everything that comes after. Lean on her and her expertise to guide the way.
