Olivia & David. They traveled in from Pennsylvania and Maryland, their families traveled in from China. They got a cabin together, we met at 5:20am, and we all went up into the mountains to spend a quiet morning watching the sunrise. We explored and drove along Skyline Drive before going back down into the valley - where we met with their officiant by the lake and found a quiet spot for their ceremony. They had a hand-fasting ceremony, exchanged rings, whispered their vows to each other, and then hugged their new parents. It epitomized peaceful and good.
The misconception that the only time you can say “I do,” is on the weekend, is something that started with big, traditional weddings. Honestly, it makes sense for those types of weddings. But, when you are opting for a more intimate wedding, you should elope on a week day in Shenandoah National Park
When I say Virginia’s weather is temperamental, I MEAN IT — especially in the great parks! Knowing what to expect can really make or break your elopement, or time in general there!
