Franconia Notch is one of the most versatile elopement areas in the White Mountains, with completely different looks packed into one corridor. Artist Bluff gives you wide open mountain views after a short hike, Echo Lake delivers that classic still-water reflection shot at golden hour, and Lonesome Lake earns its payoff with a moderate climb to an alpine pond with Franconia Ridge filling the entire skyline. For couples who want to go all in, the Franconia Ridge Trail is one of the finest above-treeline ridge walks in the Northeast — serious hiking, unmatched views, and photos that look like nothing else we shoot. We've shot here at sunrise, sunset, and everything in between, across every season, and it never gets old.

Crawford Notch is one of the most accessible and popular elopement areas in the White Mountains, with a mix of locations that work for just about any couple. Mount Willard delivers a stunning cliff-edge view straight down the notch after a short, easy hike — one of the best payoffs-per-effort trails in New Hampshire. Arethusa Falls, the tallest waterfall in the state, has a wide open base that's perfect for ceremonies and feels tucked away despite being a well-known spot. Sugarloaf adds a quick summit option with sweeping Presidential Range views for couples who want a little more elevation. We shoot here at every time of day and in every season — it's endlessly versatile.

Pinkham Notch sits at the base of the Presidential Range and offers some of the most dramatic alpine terrain in the White Mountains. Glen Ellis Falls is a stunning roadside waterfall with a short walk in — powerful, wide, and incredibly photogenic in any season. The Alpine Garden, tucked above treeline on the flanks of Mount Washington, is one of our favorite spots in all of New Hampshire — open tundra, wildflowers in summer, and views that stretch endlessly in every direction. Gorham sits just north of the notch and gives us easy access to quieter, less crowded terrain that still delivers big mountain scenery. We shoot Pinkham at every time of day and love it most when the weather is doing something interesting.

  The Presidential Range is the most ambitious elopement terrain we shoot in New Hampshire — and some of the most rewarding. The Ammonoosuc Ravine Trail is our most used route up, gaining elevation through forest before breaking above treeline into a landscape that feels completely otherworldly. Lakes of the Clouds sits in a col between Monroe and Washington and is one of those spots that genuinely stops couples in their tracks — two alpine ponds, 360-degree views, and nothing between you and the sky. Mount Monroe adds a quick side summit with views back toward Washington that are some of the best in the range. And the Washington summit itself is the highest point in the Northeast — exposed, dramatic, and unlike anything else we shoot. This is terrain for couples who are comfortable in the mountains and want an elopement that feels genuinely big.

The Kancamagus Highway runs 34 miles through the heart of White Mountain National Forest and is one of the most elopement-friendly stretches of road in New England — pull-offs, trailheads, river access, and overlooks around every bend. Sabbaday Falls, Rocky Gorge, Lower Falls, and the Swift River give you waterfall and river options at almost every fitness level, from a two-minute walk to a short trail through the trees. The Boulder Loop Trail adds an elevated ledge perspective with open mountain views for couples who want a bit more of a hike. The Kancamagus Overlook is one of those spots that earns its place in every fall shoot — layered ridgelines, peak color, and nothing blocking the view. In fall especially, the Kanc is in a league of its own.

With nearly 800,000 acres of protected wilderness, White Mountain National Forest is the backbone of everything we do — and living here gives us access to a level of local knowledge that no visiting photographer can replicate. We know the hidden waterfalls that don't show up on any trail map, the remote backcountry routes that stay quiet even on peak weekends, the alpine ponds tucked behind ridgelines that most people walk right past, and the forest glades where the light does something extraordinary at certain times of year. We choose locations based entirely on your vision — the feeling you want, how much you want to hike, the season — and then we take you somewhere that actually fits, not just somewhere convenient. If you want your elopement to feel genuinely off the beaten path, this is where we shine.
