Acadia National Park Elopement

There’s something uniquely magical about an Acadia National Park elopement. Its raw, natural beauty creates an unforgettable backdrop for a love story, and this stunning elopement at Cooskey Drive Overlook was just that.

The morning began with a quiet, heartfelt ceremony overlooking the rugged cliffs, with the ocean stretching endlessly behind them. The early light bathed everything in a soft glow, making the moment feel even more intimate and timeless. It was just the two of them, focused on their vows and the moment—it felt so genuine and peaceful.

After the ceremony, we headed out to explore the park. We hiked some trails, stopping along the way for photos on the cliffs, with waves crashing below, and in the forest, where the tall trees and filtered light created such a serene vibe. It was the perfect mix of dramatic scenery and quiet, intimate moments.

As the day unfolded, we paused to soak in the magic of the island before heading back out for sunset photos. The golden hour in Acadia is like nothing else and made for such soft and beautiful photos.

Afterward, the couple celebrated with a cozy dinner in Bar Harbor, a charming seaside town just outside the park, a perfect place to celebrate their wedding day! It was the perfect ending to a day that was all about them—their love, their adventure, and their Acadia National Park Elopement story.

A lot of my inspiration comes from the Public Land Creatives non-profit.
