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.
So you want to bring your family with you?
I LOVE that!
Eloping in Acadia National Park doesn’t have to mean leaving your people behind or forcing everyone into a rigid, unrealistic timeline. Instead, embrace it as a slower, more meaningful way to get married that makes space for real life, shared adventure, and genuine connection.
As your Acadia elopement photographer, I help couples create thoughtful, low-key elopement days that feel manageable, adventurous, and true to who they are, whether that includes babies, pets, grandparents, or just a few of your favorite people.
This isn’t your typical wedding day
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 elopement photographer (yes, I really live here!) 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.
“Gina, oh my goodness I cannot thank you enough!!!!! I had the most perfect wedding day!” - Charlotte

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.
