Romantic, cinematic, salt-
air cozy—and totally you.
I’ll help you plan your acadia elopement that matches your level of adventure (no-hike overlooks to adventure trail wanders) with stress-free logistics and photos that look how it felt.
Weekdays > weekends for privacy, permits, and vendor flexibility. Last-minute bookings welcome when my calendar allows.
I blend done-with-you planning with true-to-color, cinematic imagery. I’ll scout, build a breathing-room timeline, and keep the day grounded so the real moments can happen. Videography with Ryan is available as an add-on.
Why I am obsessed with Acadia National Park? Accessibility for everyone. No one is limited from great views, slower paced moments and adventure in all dirrections. Let me show you more!
“We don’t want a huge hike.” → Low-effort, photogenic routes.
“We’re awkward.” → Prompts > poses. Easy, natural direction.
“We want privacy.” → Sunrise + weekday sequencing = fewer people, more us.
“We need a plan.” → Shared Google Doc timeline, local recs, permit guidance, weather backups.
Thank you for going out of your way for us and making our day something to treasure. We truly had the most magical day and have been reeling. You are everything and more!
Lauren and Zac,

01
Pick your season + vibe — Spring blooms (May–Jun), peak summer (Jul–Aug), famous foliage (late Sep–Oct), or crisp shoulder days.
02
Legal vs. symbolic — Many couples do the paperwork at home and exchange vows here; we can plan either route.
03
Match access to comfort — No-hike overlooks, short strolls, or light trails; I’ll advise on footwear and timing.
04
Permits + permissions — Some ceremonies/locations need advance approval; I’ll point you the right direction and keep us compliant.
05
Vendors + timeline — Hair/makeup, florals, picnic boards, private chef, charter options—small but mighty team.
06
Weather + tides — I build tide-smart, fog-flexible timelines with backups and buffer time.
Sunrise reigns in Acadia—calm wind, open parking, soft light. Sunset/golden hour can also be dreamy, especially on the quiet side; we’ll choose based on your locations and the tide chart.
May–June — fresh greens, milder temps, fewer crowds than peak summer.
July–August — warmest, long days; plan early and choose weekday sunrise.
Late Sept–Oct — foliage glow; book early, lean into sunrise and weekday timing.
