Acadia Retreat

May 2023

In a world filled with grandiose weddings and extravagant celebrations, there's an undeniable allure to the intimate embrace of elopements. Nestled on the picturesque shores of Maine lies Acadia National Park, an idyllic haven where nature's beauty dances with the whispers of love. Here, amidst the tranquil wilderness, an elopement photography retreat offered myself and several soon to be friends a unique opportunity to capture the essence of intimacy and warmth. .

I was traveling to Acadia National Park from Vermont by car and alone, it promised to be a thrilling (sarcasm) adventure. I was anxious to arrive as I would be staying in an AirBnb with strangers, all of us united in our love of photography and determined to make the most of our elopement photography retreat. Despite the anticipation of the week that lied ahead, there was a hint of uncertainty. Would the weather cooperate? Would we be able to capture the perfect shot? How long would those awkward introductions linger. By the end of the week, all of our questions were answered and we were certain that the journey to Acadia National Park had been an incredibly rewarding experience.

I am filled with gratitude for the photography retreat I had the pleasure of attending. It was an incredible experience that not only allowed me to expand my knowledge and skills as a photographer but also provided an opportunity to connect with like-minded individuals. The bonds formed with fellow photography enthusiasts during the retreat were invaluable, as we shared our passion, exchanged tips and tricks, and encouraged each other's growth. The support and camaraderie that emerged from this retreat are something I will forever cherish. I am truly grateful for the friendships and connections made, as they have enriched both my personal and professional life.

Special Thank you to all the models and Vendors for making this retreat happen, so much behind the scenes work that goes into these and everyone was fantastic to be around.
