Best Otter Point Elopement in Acadia

Sharing some photos from this Otter Point Elopement in Acadia. It is no secret that October is one of the best times to visit New England, and Acadia is a gem of the Northeast. Hana and Michael made their elopement an experience and wanted to exchange vows with the waves as their witness. Already officially married, they wanted to commemorate and celebrate and have an official wedding celebration in Acadia. They decided on October because they knew the fall folliage would be gorgeous and the weather would be comfortable. Read on to maybe get some inspiration for your Acadia National Park Elopement!

Acadia is actually a very dog friendly park, and they brought along their pup for some photos and exploring. Dogs are allowed in a lot of areas and on a lot of trails, so if you have a furry friend you want to include, this is good to know!
