Rebecca and Baelyn’s White Mountains elopement was a day filled with beauty, spontaneity, and fun! When these two first reached out to me, they knew that they wanted to elope in the White Mountains, but they weren’t sure exactly where, or what to do for the day. After finding out that they enjoy spending time together in nature, with Baelyn fishing while Rebecca reads, I know that the eastern White Mountains was the place to be.
We started the day quietly, with some early morning stops along the Kancamagus Highway to explore the water and relax with some fishing and reading at the stocked trout pond. We mostly had the place to ourselves because of how early in the day that we were there. Unfortunately, Baelyn didn’t catch anything, but he did come pretty close!
After the morning’s adventures, we returned to their AirBnB in Madison, NH to get ready for their ceremony. This little cabin in the woods was simply beautiful and happened to overlook the mountain that we would be hiking, too. While Rebecca worked on doing her own hair and makeup, Baelyn worked on packing a picnic for the two of them to enjoy after their vows.
Once these two were ready, they had a special first look on the porch of the cabin. Rebecca had a special gift for Baelyn to honor a fallen friend, and the two shared a celebratory champagne toast before we hit the trail.
The hike to the summit of their White Mountains elopement ceremony location was a short, easy trail through the woods and some blueberry meadows. At the top, they enjoyed 360-degree views of the White Mountains and Maine.
One of my favorite things about elopements is that couples get to share their vows privately. I think doing this allows for a wedding ceremony that feels more true to them and allows them to express their emotions more fully in the moment.
One thing about the day was that we just weren’t sure if we were going to get stuck in the rain or not. The weather kept changing rapidly, being predictably unpredictable for the region, but in the end we had gorgeous sunny weather for their ceremony and picnic, with views of the rain moving through the mountains.
After some relaxing time at the ceremony location, we decided to head back out the the Kanc to enjoy some more river time with these two in their wedding clothes. Rebecca and Baelyn were unafraid to get dirty and wet while they played on the rocks in the river, making for some extra special memories filled with joy.
