Tyler & Seth’s Acadia National Park Elopement

SWELL & STONE / ADVENTURE WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHER / MAINE & BEYOND

It looks like Tyler & Seth’s Acadia National Park elopement day encompassed an entire lifetime in one day. From summiting a mountain before the sun rose, to a picnic on the beach, to flying in a plane over Acadia, to eating cake and exploring the rocky coastline as the sun set and the stars came out, this day had absolutely everything.

We fit in so many views, activities, and so much fun that it was impossible to choose just a few photos to encapsulate their day here. Let’s start with the morning. It was cold outside and we met in the dark, but the sheer enthusiasm that they were getting married was radiating off of them like the steam that would soon radiate off their shoulders as we started to climb up the mountain. Their faces when they saw the view from the top were nothing short of astonishment. Color was filling the sky and they breathed it all in before picking a ceremony site and preparing to say their vows.

The vows were full of Taylor Swift lyrics and there were a lot of smiles, laughs, and some tears. We had the mountain completely to ourselves and the ceremony could not have been any more beautiful.

They took their time exploring the top and as we headed down we saw even more incredible views. Somehow the day kept getting better, a theme throughout their whole elopement. Next up was a private picnic on the beach. They strolled and took in the views, ate some delicious locally sourced foods, and played some games they love.

After the beach, we met up at Acadia Flights. The next thing we knew we were soaring over the park and seeing a lot of the sights they had seen on foot from the air. It was so cool to see their elopement spot from above. The entire experience was so beautiful and unique and I highly recommend as a part of your elopement day if you like getting a bird’s eye view. The fall colors were even more spectacular from the air.

After the flight, we headed to where they were staying to freshen up, eat some cake, galavant around town a little, and then we packed up to head to our sunset location. The sky had become cloudy in the direction of the sun, but it was still open enough to stay for the blue hour and catch the starry night sky. The wrapped up the most perfect elopement day dancing under the night sky and walking back to the car via lantern light.

And so the perfect day that looked like 1000 different days because they packed in so much will live in their memory as the perfect way to get married.
