A Foggy Elopement in Acadia

Acadia National Park offers a wild and timeless backdrop for couples looking to escape the ordinary, and this foggy coastal elopement proves just how breathtaking it can be. With ocean waves crashing below and soft mist rolling in from the Atlantic, this intimate wedding day was nothing short of magical.

The couple began their elopement day with a private ceremony along the rocky cliffs, surrounded by the peaceful stillness that only fog can bring. The groom wiped away tears as they exchanged personal vows, with a close friend officiating beside the sea. The mist added a surreal, almost cinematic atmosphere to every moment.

With Acadia’s iconic rocky shoreline beneath their feet, the couple stood hand-in-hand, hearts full. Waves crashed behind them as they said “I do,” kissed, and took it all in with only the sound of the surf and seabirds to witness it.

From black and white portraits to vibrant coastal scenes, their gallery reflects both the raw emotion and natural beauty of Maine’s rugged coastline. The fog created the dreamiest soft light, perfect for capturing candid, emotional images.

After the ceremony, the couple shared a sweet champagne toast and charcuterie picnic, complete with laughter, forehead kisses, and cozy cuddles under a blanket. They wandered hand-in-hand through pine-lined trails, stopping for quiet moments on the cliffs and under mossy evergreens.

One especially tender moment was watching the bride wrapped in a green knit blanket, bouquet in hand, resting her head on her new husband’s chest with the Atlantic stretching behind them. Pure Acadia magic.

A highlight of the day? A sweet flower girl running barefoot across the rocks, bouquet in hand, gathering wildflowers and smiling with pure joy. Her energy brought even more warmth to this already heartfelt elopement.
