Lake Lure Inn wedding photographer

Weddings at the 1927 inn on Lake Lure.

The Lake Lure Inn opened in 1927 on Memorial Highway in Lake Lure, NC. Calvin Coolidge, F. Scott Fitzgerald and Franklin Roosevelt all stayed there, and it was one of the filming locations for Dirty Dancing.

The inn has 72 rooms, so most of your guests can stay on site.

What it's like to photograph here

The lakeside pavilion and gazebo. Ceremonies by the water, with the mountains across the lake.

Roosevelt Hall. The main reception room.

The Veranda Terrace. Dinner and dancing outside.

The courtyard and pool. Stucco arches around a pool. It photographs more like the Mediterranean than the mountains.

Jourdan and Jimmy

Jourdan and Jimmy got married by the lake, with their wedding party in light blue and gray. They had their first dance outside on the patio, then moved inside for the rest of the night.
