Joe and Rachel’s Elopement
Max Patch Mountain
Joe and Rachel decided to elope with just a few days' notice. We met on top of Max Patch but their new baby needed to eat so often on their trip that they pulled up quite late, when the sun was low and a thick fog rolled in. Half way through the hike to the summit they decided to get married off of the beaten path, in the clouds and it was perfect. It was so beautiful to watch them say their vows (I wore their baby while I photographed and cried happy tears). This elopement was a celebration of their family of 3. Even though it wasn’t in their plan, they soaked up every minute and we walked back in the dusky dark happy as can be. Both of their adventurous spirits made this elopement fun and endearing. We did go back for their 1 year anniversary and got the mountain views!
