Ashley & Todd’s Adventure Elopement on Loon Mountain
There’s nothing quite like a wedding day that’s truly, and unapologetically, you. For Ashley and Todd, that meant a day that combined a mountain adventure with the simple, heartfelt joy of a backyard celebration. Their Loon Mountain elopement was a perfect reflection of their relationship, filled with genuine laughs, stunning views, and of course, their adorable dog as the ring bearer.
The day began in a flurry of nervous energy and laughter at Daydreams Hair Studio in Lincoln, NH. Ashley was surrounded by her mom, future mother-in-law, and sister-in-law, a beautiful and relaxed start to a life-changing day. There’s a certain magic in those quiet, getting-ready moments—the anticipation, the butterflies, and the pure excitement of a bride who knows she’s about to marry the love of her life.
Once Ashley was ready, she took the ski lift up to the summit where she met Todd for a private first look and they shared personal vows. This moment was just for them, a quiet, emotional exchange with a panoramic backdrop that felt as vast as their love. This mountaintop was more than just a beautiful location; it was a special place they had visited often throughout their relationship and a location they had dreamed of getting married at long before they were even engaged.
The ceremony that followed was nothing short of breathtaking. Surrounded by their closest friends and family, Ashley and Todd said their "I dos" against the stunning mountain vista. The cheers and congratulations that followed were a testament to the warmth of their love story.
After the ceremony, we went on a truly unforgettable excursion: exploring the mountain's caves. And yes, Ashley was still in her wedding dress, embracing the adventure and proving that a wedding gown is made for more than just walking down the aisle. It was an epic and unique moment that perfectly captured their adventurous spirits.
The celebration continued back at their Airbnb in Thornton, transforming into a relaxed and joyful backyard BBQ. The ribs were so delicious they were being pulled from the cutting board before they even made it to the serving table! As the sun began to set, Ashley and Todd shared a romantic first dance on the lawn. And then, in a moment straight out of a movie, they literally walked off into the sunset, their dog trotting along beside them on a dirt road, the perfect end to a perfect day.
Their story is a beautiful reminder that a wedding doesn’t have to be a big production to be unforgettable. It can be as simple as a mountain, a backyard, and a whole lot of love. If you're dreaming of an intimate adventure elopement, whether on Loon Mountain or another special place, I'd love to help you capture every genuine laugh and heartfelt moment.
