Springtime Splendor 🌱

Revitalizing yoga in nature`s bloom
Kayaking on peaceful waters
Biking through flowering paths
Horse-back riding in the mountains
Tasting the season at a winery or brewery

Summer Fun 🌞

Gaining a new perspective with rock climbing
Snorkeling in clear, cool waters
Hiking to awe-inspiring spots
Sailing into the golden sunset

Autumn Adventures 🍁

Discovering aerial views on a scenic flight
Enjoying a relaxing picnic
Unwinding with a couples massage
Warming up in a relaxing sauna
Having a cozy campfire

And that`s just the beginning! From sunrise breakfasts to stargazing nights, painting your surroundings, or cooking together, there`s no end to the fun. It`s about celebrating your togetherness in ways that light you up as a couple.

✨ Love, Peace, and Light: Jen and Rob`s Mountain-Top Elopement ✨⁠
⁠
What a magical sunrise it was, as Jen and Rob embarked on their incredible journey of love high up in the mountains! ⁠
⁠
Originally planning to elope alone, they decided to include Rob`s parents in their intimate celebration. And guess what? They were up for a hike in the dark to witness the sunrise together! ⁠
⁠
As the first rays of sun crested the horizon, Jen and Rob`s elopement ceremony was filled with intention and love. They began with a sage smudge, cleansing their space and souls. ⁠
⁠
Drawing inspiration from the elements, they asked for lightheartedness from the air, courage and passion from the fire, stillness, creativity, and flow from the water, and humility, friendship, gratitude, and growth from the earth. ⁠
⁠
It was a moment of pure magic, and one of the highlights of their incredible adventure together. ⁠
⁠
Stay tuned for more from their wonderful Acadia elopement, as their love story continues to shine brightly! ⁠

This Thanksgiving, I`m all about gratitude and togetherness. As we gather around tables filled with feast and festivity, let’s cherish these moments of laughter, love, and shared stories with our loved ones and remember the ones we can`t be with.

Thankful for the simple joy of coming together, for good food, and even better company. Here`s to creating new memories and savoring the old ones.

Happy Thanksgiving, everyone! May your day be filled with all the warmth this season has to offer.

May your gatherings be peaceful, fun, and filled with fond memories. 🫶🏽✨️🧡

There`s something undeniably magical about a sunrise elopement. It`s the promise of a new beginning, the world awakening with you as you embark on life`s greatest adventure. 🌅🧡 Ben and Sara`s sunrise ceremony in Acadia was nothing short of enchanting.

Trusting me with a last-minute location change, they met me at the trailhead in the dim pre-dawn light. Their willingness to embrace the unknown led us to a breathtaking, secluded spot, away from the world, where the first light of day greeted us in solitude. There, on the rocky cliffs, with the ocean`s expanse before them and their beloved dog Fable (adorably serving as their maid of honor), they shared their vows and exchanged rings. 🐾💍

Sara, whose favorite color is the vibrant hue of sunrise, was in for a surprise. Just days before, I had picked gorgeous orange dahlias from my mom`s garden further north in Maine. The bouquet, a spontaneous creation, brought an extra touch of beauty and personal significance to their day. And it seems Fable was quite the fan of them too!

Our journey continued through Acadia, immersed in the saturated glory of autumn foliage. In a quiet, reflective moment overlooking the Atlantic, we paid homage to Sara`s father, whose spirit felt ever-present in one of his favorite places, by the ocean. It’s moments like these that remind us of the deeply personal and meaningful ways to include our loved ones in our elopement day.

Ben’s incredible artistry shone through in his vow books, each stroke a testament to their unique love story. Their day was as artful and intentional as their love for each other, a true celebration of starting anew under the day`s first light.

For those dreaming of their own sunrise elopement, let Acadia enchant you. I’ll be available the first week in July and again from October 1-9. Let’s create a day as beautiful and meaningful as your love story.

In the quiet serenity of Acadia, as the first light of dawn kissed the ocean, Denielle and Dan`s love story unfolded in a way that was as heartfelt as it was beautiful. From Kentucky to the rugged shores of Maine, they chose to celebrate their love in the purest form - a `just us` elopement.

For Denielle and Dan, both heroes in healthcare, this was a second chance at love, a testament to their dedication not just to helping others, but to cherishing each other. They dreamt of a day free from the chaos of life, a moment in time where everything stood still, just to be with one another.

Their day was about simplicity, about finding peace in each other`s presence. As they exchanged vows in the land of the Wabanaki, the emotion was palpable. We all witnessed the beauty of their connection, tears blending with smiles, as waves crashed rhythmically against the rocks, echoing the steadfastness of their love.

This was more than an elopement; it was the realization of a dream. Denielle once wished to simply hold Daniel`s hand, feel the sun (or in this case, the soft light of fall) on her face, and find peace in his presence. Daniel, whose only wish was for Denielle`s happiness, saw his bucket list dream come to life in Acadia.

Their day was a beautiful reminder that love doesn`t need grand gestures or elaborate settings. It`s in the stillness, in the quiet moments spent together, that love truly shines. Here`s to Denielle and Daniel, who showed us that sometimes, all you need is to pause time, be still, and let love do the rest.
