A formal ceremony with a beach side reception at church landing at mill falls

Kristen and Zach had to make the tough call to postpone their wedding a year along and had to reduce their guest count due to the wedding. However the smaller numbers allowed them to refocus on their guest experience. Their weekend started with a boat trip with their bridal party. They held their formal ceremony on the banks of Lake Winnipesaukee, just a mile up the road from Kristen's grandparent's lake home. They held a formal cocktail where they cut their cake and listened to toasts. Then all the guests took an hour break to change into casual beach wear and loose their shoes for a reception in the sand at the Town Docks- the same restaurant Kristen worked summer in college. In true New England summer fashion, lobster rolls and ice cream were the obvious favorite choice.
