Your Acadia elopement will be less of a photoshoot and more of an adventure with a built-in third wheel who happens to have a camera. If being photographed feels intimidating, you’re not alone—I feel that too. Which is why I keep things relaxed and real, focusing on laughter, connection, and genuine moments. I’m also totally Type-A, so while you’re soaking up the adventure, I’m already two steps ahead with plans for crowds, weather, and snacks.
Acadia’s rugged coastline is at its most magical in the quiet of early morning, when the light first touches the granite cliffs and the waves crash against the shore. This half-day, five-hour elopement is designed to capture that beauty while giving you space to explore, savor, and celebrate without feeling rushed. Think less photoshoot, more adventure with a built-in third wheel who happens to have a camera.
We’ll begin at Otter Point, where the rocky bluffs stretch out above the Atlantic. Here, as the sun rises and the ocean glows gold, you’ll exchange vows surrounded by the sound of powerful waves. It’s a moment that feels both wild and deeply intimate, the perfect start to your wedding day.
From there, we’ll follow the Ocean Path, a winding trail that hugs the coastline. Along the way, we’ll stop at Monument Cove, where the granite rocks and crashing surf create a dramatic backdrop. Here, you’ll spread out a simple picnic on the sun-warmed stones—local treats (I highly recommend whoopie pies!), coffee, or whatever makes the morning feel like yours—while taking in the sweeping views of the sea.
The path continues to Sand Beach, one of Acadia’s most beloved spots. Here, you’ll kick off your shoes, wander the shoreline, and maybe even splash in the cold Atlantic together! These playful, carefree moments close out the morning in the most natural way—your first hours as a married couple spent laughing, exploring, and soaking in the beauty of Acadia’s coast.
Whether it’s watching the sunrise above the horizon or standing on an epic bluff, I’ll keep you calm, crack jokes when you need them, and find tucked-away spots where you can relax away from the mobs of tourists. This experience is crafted to feel effortless and unhurried, with each stop flowing into the next. You’ll leave not just with breathtaking photos, but with memories of a morning that felt both adventurous and completely your own.
