Kristin & Alec's Fantastic February Nuptuals

On February 3, 2024, Kristin and Alec's wedding day unfolded in stunning winter splendor across two of Central New York's most iconic venues — and it was one of the most beautiful days we've ever had the honor of capturing.

​

Kristin began her morning preparations at their serene Oneida Lake home, while Alec got ready at the rustic and charming Greek Peak Mountain Resort Lodge. Despite it being a February wedding in upstate New York, the day was bathed in radiant sunshine — the kind of crisp, golden winter light that makes every photo and film frame look like it was painted.

​

The ceremony took place at the breathtaking Cathedral of the Immaculate Conception in Syracuse, one of Central New York's most magnificent wedding venues. Before God and their closest loved ones, Kristin and Alec exchanged vows and personally written letters, read aloud by Father Neil. Those letters gave everyone present a beautiful window into their love story — how it unfolded, where it was headed, and their shared dream of starting a family and raising their children on the lake. There wasn't a dry eye in the cathedral.

​

From Syracuse, the celebration moved to the Lookout at Hope Lake at Greek Peak Mountain Resort in Cortland, NY — one of the most spectacular wedding reception venues in all of Central New York. Set against a backdrop of snow-dusted mountain peaks, the Lookout is a venue that truly takes your breath away. The combination of stunning mountain views, elegant interior spaces, and that crisp winter atmosphere made for a reception that was as gorgeous to film as it was joyful to experience. Laughter, dancing, and love filled every corner of the room all evening long.

​

As Lookout at Hope Lake wedding videographers, we are always blown away by what this venue does for a wedding film. The natural scenery alone elevates every shot, and when you pair that with a couple as warm and genuine as Kristin and Alec — and a vendor team as talented as the one assembled for this day — the result is something truly special.

​

We had the genuine pleasure of working alongside an exceptional team including florals by AMK Florist, live music by Prime Time Horns, photography by Alyssa Flood, and so many other talented professionals who helped make this day everything it was. Kristin, Alec, and both of their families couldn't have been kinder or more wonderful to work with — and we are so proud of the film we created to tell their story.

​

If you're planning a wedding at the Lookout at Hope Lake, Greek Peak Mountain Resort, or the Cathedral of the Immaculate Conception in Syracuse, we would love to be your photographer and videographer. Select Photo + Film serves couples throughout Cortland, Syracuse, and all of Central New York.
