ACADIA ELOPEMENT PHOTOGRAPHER FOR NATURE-LOVING COUPLES
(and the families they bring with them)
relaxed, intentional wedding days rooted in connection, flexibility, and real moments.
Local to Mount Desert Island. Eloped in Acadia. Raising my family here.
I help couples create meaningful elopements in Acadia National Park with local expertise, flexible planning, and a calm, grounded approach.
Your elopement, your people, your pace
Whether your day includes just the two of you, your kids, your parents, your closest friends, or your dog, there's no right or wrong way to elope in Acadia.
Some couples spend their day hiking, canoeing, or exploring the coastline together. Some share their vows with a small group of loved ones. Some celebrate a vow renewal surrounded by the family they've built over the years.
What matters most is that you’re with your favorite person (or people) and creating a day that feels true to you.
Your elopement can be adventurous or adventure-ish. Quiet and/or celebratory. Carefully planned and/or intentionally flexible. Whatever shape it takes, I'll help you create an experience that feels meaningful while you're living it, not just pretty when you look back at the photos.
This isn’t your typical wedding day. That’s a good thing!
It’s an invitation to slow down.
To be present with the people you love.
To get married in a place that actually means something to you and to create beautiful memories.
It doesn’t have to be rushed.
It doesn’t have to be complicated.
Let it feel like you!

Hey, I’m Gina!
I’m a local Acadia National Park elopement photographer specializing in family-friendly intimate weddings rooted in connection, adventure, and ease.
Living on Mount Desert Island year-round means I know Acadia inside and out, from quiet coastal corners to mossy forest trails and dramatic granite cliffs.
With thoughtful planning, backup plans, and a calm, grounded presence, I help families create wedding days that feel relaxed, intentional, and deeply true to who they are.
I believe your wedding day should never feel like a performance but instead like a sweet adventure, one where family members are welcome, plans are flexible, and real moments get to lead.
The unique perspective I bring
I eloped in Acadia
I know what it feels like to stand where you are now - not just as a photographer, but as someone who chose to get married here too (when we lived in Baltimore). I bring both professional expertise and personal experience to help you create a day that feels meaningful, relaxed, and true to you.
I live here year-round
As a Mount Desert Island resident, I experience Acadia in every season. From navigating crowds and weather to finding the right location for your vision, I offer local insight that goes far beyond a quick visit or Google/ChatGPT search. I’ll make sure you get not only the photos you want, but more importantly the feeling and experience you want for your once-in-a-lifetime elopement day.
Family-friendly by nature
As a mom of two, I know that meaningful moments rarely happen when everyone is standing perfectly still and smiling at the camera. Whether you're bringing kids, parents, grandparents, or your pets, I'll help create a day where your favorites can be fully included, without taking away from the experience itself.
“Gina, oh my goodness I cannot thank you enough!!!!! I had the most perfect wedding day!” - Charlotte

How to Plan a Last-Minute Acadia Elopement
Not every elopement or intimate wedding is planned a year or even 6 months in advance!

How to Elope in Acadia with Kids
Eloping in Acadia National Park is magical: the mossy trails, rocky coastlines, hidden coves, and granite peaks make it one of the most breathtaking places to say “I do.” And Acadia is also one of the most accessible national parks, perfect for enjoying with young kids and others with limited mobility. So yes, you can include your kids! In fact, having them along often adds laughter, spontaneity, and moments you’ll remember forever. Read more.
Eloping gives you something rare in the wedding-world: space. Space to slow down, to be fully present, and to speak to each other without an audience of 150 people. Your vows don’t have to performance, they just have to feel true. If you’re not sure where to start, here are some grounded, real-life ways to write vows that actually feel like you. Read more.
Working with me is for you if:
You want an elopement that includes your family members, without forcing them to perform
You care more about experiencing the day than following tradition
You value flexibility, flow, and real moments over rigid timelines
You want to explore Acadia at a pace that works for your whole family
You want your day to feel as good as it looks
You’d rather have support and guidance than figure it all out alone
You want local insight to help you choose the right locations, vendors and flow
You’re celebrating a vow renewal with the family you’ve built
