Eloping in Maine in the Fall

Your girl is married! Tristan and I have been together for 12 years and we finally tied the knot in October! We got engaged in Maine in 2019, and after Covid changed our wedding plans, we decided to go back to the state that is so special to us exactly four years later! Planning a wedding from 1,000 miles away was not exactly easy, but so worth it!

We started our journey in Portland where we got our marriage license and then headed up to Bar Harbor. Our October fall foliage wedding weekend in Maine was perfect! We did a sunset ceremony rehearsal followed by a lobster bake dinner. Tristan and I kept tradition by not seeing each other until the ceremony. I loved our morning ceremony because we had the entire day to explore Acadia National Park and spend time together and with our family. We had our cocktail hour on sunset sailboat cruise and ended the evening with dinner and moose tracks ice cream. The day was more than I could have dreamed of!

Our photographer, Jamie, was amazing! She helped us with our day-of itinerary and knew the park like the back of her hand! Her attention to detail was fantastic and she had so many creative ideas. If you or anyone you know is planning to do a New England wedding, Jamie is your girl!

See a few of our favorite photos below and be sure to pin them for inspiration. Check out my Instagram and Jamie’s for even more looks at this incredible day. I’ll be sure to post more details about our weekend from how we planned it to what we did to have an amazing day on a budget. I highly recommend eloping in Maine in the fall.
