The magazine was created by a young newlywed couple who,upon getting engaged in 2010,realized there was no magazine resource for couples interested in marrying in the Adirondack region. Therefore,Laura Ward and Ahren Wolson,both natives of the Adirondacks,decided to launch the magazine and accompanying website. Mr. Wolson is a graphic designer and Ms. Ward is an award-winning journalist who has published more than 500 articles and photographs in publications including Glamour,Self,Shape,Girls’ Life,The Village Voice,and Women’s Health & Fitness. Ms. Ward has taught magazine journalism at the collegiate level since 2006. Together,the couple wrote,designed,and edited every page of the debut issue.

Newsstand reception has been exceptionally strong; ADIRONDACK WEDDINGS has completely sold out at hundreds of locations since its August debut,from the Rite Aid in the small Adirondack town of Tupper Lake to the Barnes & Noble at 2289 Broadway in Manhattan. Many stores sold out after just a couple days on shelves,distributors have reported.
