A real Adair Inn Small Wedding

Sarah and Dane had the most magical wedding day in the White Mountains. I met up with them in afternoon for a hike that would change their life forever. We met at the trailhead and hiked up with a few of their close friends on a beautiful summer day. A few family members and other friends hiked up behind us to meet us at the summit for their elopement ceremony.

Surrounded by loved ones they shared their vows to each other with the only other guests being the mountains that we were tucked into. It was truly a perfect summer ceremony. After They explored the summit and celebrated before heading back down the mountain to the beauty that awaited them at the Adair Inn.

Back at the Adair Inn they had some time to relax and then gathered back together for cocktail hour and family photos on the beautiful property. They had a stunning floral table scape that was the perfect setting to celebrate their intimate wedding day in the white mountains of New Hampshire.

After a delicious dinner and sweet speeches from their guests, they danced the night away to close out the most perfect White Mountains elopement day. (See a look into their day in the gallery below.)
