As the sun rose over The Otesaga Resort Hotel<\/a> in Cooperstown, fog surrounded wedding guests gathered to take a dip in Otsego Lake. The couple and their V.I.P.’s slipped down to the water\u2019s edge and started their day with a cold plunge, laughter echoing across the glassy surface. (I’ve always offered unlimited hours, so I was there from sun-up to sundown!)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As the wedding day unfolded, Cooperstown showed off in the best way. Guests gathered for an outdoor ceremony overlooking the lake, where gusts of wind and shimmering water created a naturally stunning backdrop. Vows were exchanged with happy tears and wide smiles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

By the time the sun dipped low again, the energy had completely shifted in the best way. What began as a serene, intimate wedding morning at The Otesaga transformed into a full-on celebration. The dance floor filled fast and stayed that way all night…<\/p>\n\n\n\n
