A Cadillac Mountain Elopement
B + D’s Cadillac Mountain elopement was one of my favorites to shoot in Maine. We started the day Bass Harbor, they got ready together. Then we headed down to the harbor to explore the locations and take portraits. B is very adventurous and had heals on the whole time! I mostly loved that B & D were excited to explore this location and the weather was perfect. This was in the fall, the harbor location was kindof crowded but doable.
We then headed to Cadillac Mountain for the rest of their elopement. You can drive up to the summit and it is an easier drive than other locations I’ve been to in the west coast like Yosemite and the Million Dollar Highway. Cadillac Mountain does requires a reservation to get in, you can find that info here. Cadillac Mountain also does not allow ceremonies at sunrise or sunset. It is a popular spot that people come to, to watch the sunrise. It’s usually crowded that time anyway so it wouldn’t be the best option for a secluded elopement ceremony location.
Once we got to the summit, we explored the area a little bit before getting into vow readings. Afterwards, they shared their vows and celebrated with popping champagne. Then, they had some time to relax and eat cheesecake since that’s both of their favorite desert. I love that they had cheesecake instead of regular cake.
I photographed the scenery as they got to enjoy their time and the views. Cadillac mountain is a great spot if you want mountaintop photos with lakes in the background.
After we took a little break, we took mountaintop portraits and B+D even shared their first dance. I just loved capturing those moments.
Afterwards we wrapped up the session.
