Andy & Jen’s Adventure-Filled Elopement in Acadia

July 19, 2025

LOVE ALERT!!

Wedding days are pure magic, and Andy & Jen’s Acadia elopement was one for the books. From a first look at the historic Pemaquid Lighthouse, to exchanging vows on the breathtaking Bubbles Trail in Acadia National Park, every moment was filled with love, laughter, and the wild beauty of Maine.

I’ve known Andy & Jen for a few years now, and I feel so blessed to have been part of their love story. From rafting trips and concerts up in Maine, to their engagement session, to this incredible wedding day, the love and friendship between these two has always been so prominent.

Getting Ready at Home

The day started in the most relaxed and personal way — at their own home. There’s something so special about beginning your wedding day surrounded by familiar walls and the comfort of your own space. It set such a calm, intimate tone before the big adventure began.

First Look at Pemaquid Lighthouse

Our first stop was the Pemaquid Point Lighthouse — one of the most scenic spots in Maine. The salty breeze, crashing waves, and historic charm made it the perfect backdrop for Andy & Jen’s first look. Their reactions were pure joy, and you could feel the anticipation building for the rest of the day.

Family Wedding Ceremony & Blessing in Acadia

From there, we made our way to Acadia National Park for a family ceremony and blessing. Surrounded by loved ones and the stunning coastal landscape, the moment felt deeply personal and sacred.

Hiking to the Bubbles Trail for an Intimate Wedding Ceremony

After the family portion, it was time for the adventure part of the day. We laced up our hiking boots and headed up the Bubbles Trail for the private ceremony. With sweeping mountain and lake views, this was the moment they officially said their vows — just the two of them, the wind, and the mountains.

Wedding Dinner in Bar Harbor

To end the day, we celebrated in Bar Harbor with a cozy dinner. The perfect mix of adventure, intimacy, and celebration, this elopement truly reflected Andy & Jen’s personalities and love story.

Andy & Jen’s Maine adventure elopement was everything I love about photographing weddings — genuine connection, epic landscapes, and unforgettable memories. Thank you both for trusting me with your day and taking me along for such an incredible adventure. Cheers to a lifetime of love!
