Acadia NATIONAL PARK WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHER
Acadia National Park is a place that asks you to slow down.
With its rugged coastline, shifting light, and ever-present ocean air, it offers a very different rhythm than most wedding days. For couples who choose to get married here, the experience matters just as much as the photographs.
We’re Eastlyn & Joshua, wedding and elopement photographers specializing in intimate, experience-first celebrations in Acadia National Park and along the Maine coast. We photograph both elopements and small weddings, always with care for the landscape and a deep respect for how it feels to be married here.
Getting Married in Acadia National Park
Acadia is one of the most beautiful and most visited national parks in the country. Because of that, thoughtful planning matters.
We work with couples who are drawn to:
The dramatic Maine coastline
Quiet early mornings or off-peak hours
Intentional, unhurried wedding days
Natural light and real moments over performance
Whether you’re planning a just-the-two-of-you elopement or a small wedding with guests, our approach stays the same. We prioritize experience first, creating space for your day to feel meaningful and fully lived.
Elopements and Intimate Weddings in Acadia
Not all Acadia wedding days look the same.
Some couples choose to split their day into a quiet morning ceremony and a slower evening along the coast. Others gather a small group of family and friends for a simple, intentional celebration. Some couples write their own ceremony, exchange vows privately, or include personal elements like music, art, or time spent simply being together.
Our role is to help shape a day that feels like your wedding day, not a photoshoot.
We guide when it’s helpful and step back when presence matters more than direction.
The goal is that you remember how the day felt, not just how it looked.
A Thoughtful, Experience-First Approach
We photograph elopements in Acadia during off-peak hours, when the park is at its calmest. This allows for:
Fewer crowds
Easier logistics
A more private, grounded experience
We also help with:
Location planning
Timeline pacing that allows room to rest and pause
Understanding permit requirements and park logistics as they evolve
Above all, we care deeply about protecting Acadia as a place and preserving the experience for those who come after.
Why Couples Choose to Work With Us
Couples often tell us they value:
A calm, steady presence on the day
Natural guidance that never feels forced
A balance of classic portraits and honest, in-between moments
Experience photographing in national parks, including Acadia
We’ve photographed weddings and elopements across the U.S. and internationally, but Acadia holds a special place for us. Its coastline, light, and scale offer something rare, especially when approached with intention.
