Dayna and Josh's Mountaintop Elopement on Mount Mansfield in Stowe, Vermont

It’s always a gamble when the first time I meet a couple is on the day they get married- I get nervous if our personalities will work well together, and what kind of people will they be. Within the first five minutes of meeting Dayna and Josh yesterday, I knew I had won the lottery. They’re absolutely head-over-heels in love with each other, and their dogs, and didn’t hold back their feelings of pure joy and the happy tears at their elopement.

An elopement allowed Dayna and Josh to get married exactly where they wanted- at the top of a mountain in Vermont- without the stress and money of transporting and hosting over a hundred people on said mountaintop. It also took any stress away and allowed them to live totally in the moment with each other and their pups. After an intimate ceremony officiated by Greg Trulson, we all shared champagne before cruising around to take some photos. Days like yesterday make me want to photograph more elopements- it’s a wonderful way to celebrate in the middle of the week!
