Jason + Andrea | Acadia National Park Elopement | Mount Desert Island Photographer

2020 is certainly the year for Elopements, and what better place to have your wedding than inside Acadia National Park! With traffic being less than I have ever seen, it’s certainly the perfect time. Jason and Andrea chose to be married on the rocks nearby to Sand Beach, and want to know my favorite part? Their 5 children didn’t know they were getting married UNTIL THAT DAY! How awesome is that? I had such a fun time with this family as they celebrated their new union, followed by some photos around the park. I hope you enjoy these moments captured!

A little Bald Eagle action for good luck right before the ceremony!

Surrounded with the support of their children, they had a wonderful intimate ceremony on the rocks! Plenty of tears as well! :)

After some time on the rocks, we made out way over to Jordan Pond, where the scenery was breathtaking!

Acadia Elopement Photographer | Asticou Gardens | Northeast Harbor, Maine

I had such a great time in my back and forth conversations with DC leading up to the wedding day, that I knew I’d love spending a couple of hours with these two. DC and Erin invited me to capture their intimate wedding in Acadia, which turned out to be gorgeous! The day that they had originally scheduled to tie the knot had turned out to a be a horribly rainy day, but thankfully, we were able to shift things around and move their big day to the next morning. I’m so glad that we did! In the end, they chose to be married at the Asticou Azalea Gardens in Southwest Harbor, which are absolutely stunning in June! If you’ve never been, it’s something I would highly recommend. I had a great morning with these two and am happy to share some of the images captured!

After spending some time in the gardens, we made our way to Jesup Path for a few more photos. The access to get there is found through the Wild Gardens Of Acadia, so if you find yourself confused when Google maps doesn’t seem to take you to this well known spot, that is why! The wooden walking path through the woods is a great spot.
