Acadia, maine, & destination ELOPEMENT photographer

Eloping in Acadia or along the Maine coast means choosing a day full of intention - a day rooted in presence, emotion, and beauty. I document these moments with a quiet, editorial approach that honors your connection to each other and your relationship with the landscape.

Whether you’re exchanging vows on a rocky cliff overlooking the ocean at sunrise, wandering through pine forests and trails, or escaping to a remote shoreline, your elopement deserves to be photographed with depth, care, and artistry.

Elopements ARE SO MUCH MORE THAN JUST GETTING MARRIED

They’re the space where love becomes intentional — where y0u choose presence, intimacy, and connection over anything performative or expected.

They tell the story of who you are and how you love, in a way that feels true to you.

They remove the noise, the pressure, and the traditions that don’t fit — leaving room only for the moments that matter.

An elopement becomes a day you can look back on for years, a story you’ll share with future generations:

“This is where we began — fully ourselves, fully present, and fully in love.”

The love shared between you and your loved one is unique, so your elopement should be, too.

“We absolutely love our pictures!!!! Easily the BEST experience with a photographer to date!! Janelle is super personable, caring and very talented at her craft. She made sure we were comfortable and enjoying the experience and helped us navigate Acadia in the midst of an almost-stressful wedding. She was great to work with - professional, friendly, and flexible, especially when dealing with our last-minute schedule changes (including a potential govnt shutdown!). Janelle really has the best, most responsive communication. Thank you, Janelle, for the amazing photos and fantastic experience!!!”

— Sibel

You don’t need to summit a mountain to experience the beauty of Maine — or to have breathtaking elopement photos.

You can choose a space that feels like you and still create something extraordinary.

So many elopement stories highlight full-day adventures from sunrise to sunset. But your experience doesn’t have to be extreme to be meaningful.

You can choose a slower, quieter kind of adventure — something low-key, intentional, and still unforgettable.

Most of the locations I guide couples to require little to no hiking, often just 10-20 minutes of easy walking with incredible views at the end.

No pressure. No expectations. No “must be outdoorsy enough.”

Just the freedom to choose what feels right for your day.

Whether that means wandering the coastline, exploring pine forests, sharing a private moment on a rocky overlook, or skipping the hike entirely — you get to define your own adventure.

My Acadia and Maine elopement experience is designed around your pace, your vision, and your comfort.

From intimate ceremonies to beautiful portraits, I help you create a day that is simple, intentional, and deeply meaningful — without needing to spend hours on trail unless you want to.

THE DESTINATION ESSENCE

If your love leads you beyond the coast of Maine — whether that’s across the country or across the ocean — this destination elopement experience is crafted to give you everything you need, and nothing that distracts from the meaning of your day.

Traveling to a place that feels like the two of you invites a different kind of presence. It allows you to slow down, explore somewhere meaningful, and create a celebration that’s intimate, intentional, and rooted in the landscape you’ve chosen together.

Three hours is still the sweet spot: enough time to take in your surroundings, wander beautiful locations, hold space for private moments, document your ceremony, and create timeless editorial and documentary portraits — all without turning your elopement into an all-day production.

After living and traveling across Asia for 8 years, I’ve experienced a multitude of cultures, languages, and traditions.

But no matter where my passport took me, love was the same everywhere.

A thoughtfully crafted elopement experience with location guidance, a custom timeline, editorial + documentary coverage, and complete support from inquiry to gallery delivery.
If I haven’t photographed in your chosen destination yet, I’ll research it thoroughly and offer thoughtful guidance based on everything I learn — from landscapes to lighting to local logistics — so you still feel fully supported
