It’s hard to put this day into words, but we’ll give it a shot. 🤍

Susan and Jeffrey’s vows had us feeling all the feels, but honestly, what stuck with us most was the way they were with each other all day long.

The kind of couple who can’t stop smiling at each other. The kind who are always sneaking in little check-ins, little jokes, little moments that probably go unnoticed by everyone else.

They had such a sweet balance to them: playful and full of energy, yet grounded in the kind of way that comes from building a life together.

Susan and Jeffrey, our team loved celebrating with you. Congratulations, you two!!

Okay, we’ve been itching to share more real-life elopement timelines… and this Adirondack High Peaks adventure with Elena and Nick was the obvious first place to start.

No two elopement days ever look exactly the same. But seeing a real timeline can make the whole process feel a lot more clear (and a lot less intimidating).

This one is a great example of what a more advanced High Peaks elopement can look like. It definitely required some preparation and an early start, but the payoff at the summit was absolutely worth it.

If you’ve been curious what a day like this could realistically involve, this walkthrough will give you a solid picture.

Swipe through to follow their adventure! 🥾🏔️

The day before their vows, Elena and Nick hiked deep into the Adirondack High Peaks with heavy packs, stopping just a few miles from the summit to spend the night in a lean-to beneath under the stars. At 2:30 a.m., we set out together in the darkness, chasing the same peak where their story first began five years ago. As the sun broke over the horizon, we watched them step into the first light hand in hand, in the place where it all started — a moment we’ll carry with us forever. Congratulations Elena and Nick!

Elizabeth and Matt brought their three kids along for a hike in the Adirondacks, with a pretty special stop at the top: getting married! 🤍

It was a sweet day spent outside together, with some great views and a chance for all five of them to celebrate this next chapter as a family.

Congratulations, Elizabeth and Matt!!

From booking to married in just over a month! 🥹

Megan and John knew what mattered most to them: an intimate celebration, time by the water, and a day that felt memorable for all the right reasons.

Our team loved helping them pull it all together on a shorter timeline. If you’re thinking about getting married soon, you don’t necessarily have to wait a year or more to make it happen!

Congratulations, Megan and John! What a fun one to be part of 🤍

An epic October day for two very happy newlyweds. 🍂🧡

Stacey and Tyler got engaged in the Adirondacks last October, so coming back to the mountains to get married felt pretty fitting. They kept things simple, took in the views, and embraced every bit of the adventure along the way.

And honestly, what a way to come back to the place where it all started. Congratulations, Stacey and Tyler!!

The Adirondacks + peak fall + the people you love most. Pretty good combination. 🍁

Laura and Kevin wanted an alternative to the big traditional wedding, and this ended up being such a fun way to make their celebration feel more like them.

In between celebrating with family, they had a few little pockets of time tucked away together, and these are some of those moments we got to capture.

Congratulations, Laura and Kevin! Here’s to more days like this. ✨

A little sunshine at exactly the right time. ☀️

As Cailyn and Logan shared their first kiss as husband and wife, the sun suddenly broke through the clouds, lighting up the mountain around them.

We couldn’t have timed it better if we tried. What a pretty unforgettable way to wrap up the ceremony!

Congratulations, you two! 🧡

Eleven years together, and what better way to celebrate than back in one of your favorite places? 🧡

Juliet and Stephen have spent so many of those years exploring the Adirondacks, so getting to spend their 11th anniversary here felt pretty fitting.

We loved getting to celebrate this milestone with these two. Here’s to many more adventures together! ✨

A pretty epic day for two pretty happy newlyweds. 🧡

The mountain Natalie and Zach climbed on their wedding day was the first hike they ever did together. It was also the place where Zach proposed, so getting to come back and climb it again on their wedding day made it even more special.

Pretty cool way to add another chapter to a place that’s already seen a few big moments for these two. Congratulations, you guys!!

There was something really special about the way Christian and Mercedes slowed down and took in the morning together. During their ceremony, they shared a quiet moment of meditation and presence, followed by hand written vows that somehow touched on so many of the same things without either knowing what the other would say. Just a really beautiful reflection of how in sync they are.

Then we traded lakeside views for a hike up the mountain, and celebrated with a private first dance above the clouds as they rolled in around us.

Today was MAGIC, and we loved being there to document it all!
