Heading into 2026 as Husband & Wife and soon to be Mom & Dad. This year has been one for the books but I have a feeling 2026 is going to be one of our best yet! 🥰

One of my favorite things to do this time of year is to sit down with my calendar and block off some non-negotiable dates. This could be anything from family trips, birthdays, yearly traditions, intentional days off, holidays, etc. For the first 7 or 8 years of owning this awesome photography business, I said yes to pretty much anything, at any time, in any place. While I wouldn't necessarily change that, I realized that because I was so busy working and running my business I missed out on a ton of things in my 20's. Plus I eventually got burnt out and something needed to change.

Now, especially with our little man on the way, it's even more important to me to block off days in my calendar that I won't book any elopements, meetings, shoots, etc. I even schedule in some "do nothing days" where although I may have things I want to get done and errands to run, it's not happening on my "nothing days". It was one of the best decisions I made I highly recommend everyone do this!

Regardless of what your life looks like, you can implement this right now! Make sure to put yourself and your family first, even if that means saying no to things in order to make sure you are rested, recharged, and not missing out on stuff you really want to be a part of. Even if that means reading a book and taking a nap on your deck on a beautiful Summer day.

Start with a few days or a few weekends that you block off in your calendar that are reserved for just you. This means saying no to invitations and not scheduling a darn thing! It's easier said than done but once you do it a few times it gets a lot easier to set some calendar boundaries moving forward.

You got this!

Mike and Reilly's elopement was the perfect mix of special moments with their family, quality time with just each other throughout their day and magnificent views of the ADK high peaks!

They began their wedding day by getting ready in a large Airbnb with their immediate families. It was important to them to head out for a private adventure so after their first look with an epic mountain view, we hopped in the car and drove to Whiteface Mountain in Wilmington! We took our time and took in the views, while stopping for portraits and some road side bubbly. Once they felt ready, we went back to their Airbnb where they officially got married in a mountain ceremony with their parents and siblings in attendance. The rest of their day was relaxed and fun as they spent time celebrating with their loved ones and shared a few more quite moments to themselves.

Their fantastic dinner was prepared by Take Home Cheffy who came to their Airbnb and cooked dinner for everyone to perfection. They all wined and dinned outside while looking at the mountain view as the sun set, ending their stress-free wedding day in the Adirondacks!

If Mike and Reilly's elopement sounds perfect to you, send me a message and we can talk more about how we can create your dream micro wedding in the mountains!

Thinking about wether or not to wear a vail during your elopement? My advice... DO IT and go cathedral length vail, baby!!

Wedding vails not only make you feel a little more bridal but they also look incredible in photos! Especially if mother nature grants us with a breeze. You can always take your vail out for some photos so if you're on the fence, I say go for it!

Sure, a horse and buggy is pretty cool to arrive at your wedding in but what about traversing a mountain in a side by side?!

The Adirondack region offers so many unique things to incorporate into your micro wedding or elopement to make it truly unforgettable and fun! You don't have to hike a mountain for summit views, but you totally can if you want. Maybe you'd prefer a helicopter tour of the high peaks or a guided boat ride around Mirror Lake. The possibilities are endless!

If you're thinking about eloping in 2026, now is the perfect time to get to work booking a photographer, hair and makeup artist, Airbnb, etc. Although elopements tend to be quite a bit more flexible than traditional weddings, you don't want to miss out on some vendors you've been eyeing as you start planning your dream day.

Pro Tip: Hire an elopement photographer first and they should be able to help you not only plan your dream elopement but also recommend some incredible vendors to make your planning process a heck of a lot easier!

Picture this: you sit down after hiking a mountain to say your vows, surrounded by the high peaks of the Adirondacks, to read love letters from your family and friends. There's a bonfire illuminating the night and warming the air around you. Champagne is bubbling on the arm of your Adirondack chair, and your wedding day dessert is next to you waiting to be enjoied.

It's the perfect way to end your elopement!

Not everyone can say they went paddle boarding on their wedding day... but because Rachel and Dustin decided to plan their big day around what was important to them, they can!

Choosing to elope rather than have a more traditional wedding means you get to incorporate things you love doing together! These two, love paddle boarding with their pup, Charley. So, after their intimate ceremony by the water on their wedding day, they hauled their boards into the pond and explored the water while soaking up the fact they they just got married! Did it start raining the moment they got into the water? Yep! Was it like the scene from the Notebook? It sure was and they loved every second!

If you’re ready to celebrate your love by tying the knot in a private/intimate way, planning to elope might just be the way to go! If you want someone who will not only take time to get to know you but will also help you plan and document your elopement, send me a message! I promise you, it’ll be one of the best days of your lives!!

When planning your intimate wedding, you may want to consider a sunrise elopement! There’s nothing quite as magical as exchanging vows while the first light of day paints the sky with shades of pink, gold, and purple. A sunrise elopement offers more privacy, peace, and breathtaking beauty that you can’t find at any other time of day. We all know those beautiful views with the tips of the mountains begin to illuminate! If you’re dreaming of a mountaintop ceremony, here’s everything you need to on how to plan the perfect sunrise elopement.

Timing Is Everything! One of the most important aspects of a sunrise elopement is timing. Unlike a traditional ceremony, this requires a bit more planning and flexibility.

Breakfast on the Summit! Starting your wedding day with a cozy picnic is such a memorable touch. Some fun ideas for your elopement breakfast spread include: fresh pastries from a local bakery, bagels, a charcuterie board with fruit, cheese, and crackers, hot coffee or tea in a thermos, champagne or mimosas for a celebratory toast! Your breakfast can be as simple or as indulgent as you’d like! It’s about starting your marriage in a way that feels true to you so bring your favorite breakfast foods to celebrate!

Every season brings its own kind of beauty, but some times of year are better suited for mountain elopements:

-Spring: Crisp/cold mornings, blooming wildflowers, and fewer crowds.
-Summer: Warm weather and clear trails, but be prepared for earlier sunrise times.
-Fall: Cool, comfortable hiking weather with stunning foliage. Arguably the best season for a mountain sunrise but brings out a lot of people.
-Winter: Snowy landscapes and sparkling skies, but only if you’re experienced with hiking in very cold temps and in snow/ice.

Extra Tips for an Unforgettable Sunrise Elopement:
-Scout your location ahead of time.
-Hire an experienced elopement photographer!
-Bring hand warmers and extra socks.
-Trails are often quieter during the week, giving you more privacy. Even if you aren’t planning a sunrise elopement, I highly recommend picking a weekday over a weekend. Trust me, you’ll be glad you did!
