Planning an elopement in Acadia National Park?

Throw the rule book out the window

After 6+ years of experience documenting elopements in Acadia, I know what it’s like to make the decision to get married in this magical National Park. It truly has it all – the mountains, cliffs, whimsical forests, lakes, adorable downtowns – you name it.

You can hike Cadillac mountain at sunrise, or have an intimate ceremony with your closest family and friends at Otter Point, or adventure to some of my less known locations for complete seclusion. Together, let’s forget the rules and dream up a day that you can look forward to and experience fully.

Connection is the core

to eachother, your people & the natural beauty surrounding you

Founded on the belief that human connection is the real magic in life, I’m all about building relationships and capturing the real moments with landscapes at the forefront. With this idea in mind, I always take the time to listen to your vision, understand your true desires, and ask questions to get to the heart of your wedding dreams.

I’m forever dedicated to learning your story and helping you and your partner celebrate the commitment you’re making in a way that feels just right.

Hear it from my couples

What a dream is was to work with Kelsey!

“My husband and I had the most relaxed laid back experience with Kelsey after deciding that the big wedding wasn’t for us, ditching those original plans and planning a very small intimate wedding in Acadia. We had a meeting with Kelsey and knew that she was the person who we’d want to capture our day.

From the beginning Kelsey was extremely helpful with helping us PLAN our day. Yes, not only is she a photographer but she’s going to help you get those details ironed out. She was extremely helpful with location scouting, making sure we had the right documents for a National Park wedding, and was truly an Angel.

On our wedding day Kelsey showed up prepared with the most calming presence I can even imagine. Most people say how the wedding day is a blur but Kelsey helped my Husband and I plan a day so that we could stay in the moment and really appreciate what we were doing and valuing that time. Even when our Officiant was late Kelsey was effortless with making use of the time and making sure there was no panic! Literal Angel.

I cannot even begin to describe the photos or my memories of the day. She captured everything perfectly, not only my husband and I, family, friends but the amazing backdrop of Acadia National Park. We truly love all of our photos and seeing them is so special. Kelsey is a great photographer and fantastic presence to be around on a day that you want to remember forever.

If you’re looking for an amazing elopement photographer, she is your girl.”

I love to take the road less traveled

I’m Kels! I’m a New England-based photographer with a passion for experiencing the great outdoors and living life in a way that prioritizes freedom and purpose. I love to work with couples who feel the same and want a wedding that’s authentic to their unique love story. Living in the Northeast, I’m lucky enough to have access to some of the most stunning sights our world has to offer, and I truly believe that there’s no better place to say “I do.”

Over the last 6 yearsand over 100+ couples, Acadia has become my second home. Spending multiple weeks every year exploring and documenting couples days, this has become my favorite area to document in the Northeast.

I also know that choosing a non-traditional wedding can feel overwhelming, so I’m dedicated to empowering you in your planning and creating an unforgettable adventure to celebrate your next chapter together.
