September Sunrise Elopement on Stony Man Summit with a Ceremony and Picnic

Nothing is more beautiful than the stillness you get first thing in the morning. The warm summer air as you see the sun peak beyond the horizon. Those were the moments just before Brittany and Cameron said “I do” during their summer sunrise elopement at Stony Man Summit.

Brittany and Cameron stayed in Skyland Lodge the night before, which is only about a minute away from our hike. We met up while it was still dark with Dave (one of my favorite hiking officiants!) and their videographer Abby (watch her video below or here) before our hike together and had lanterns to get us up in the dark. When we arrived to the top, the light was just starting to show off the gorgeous view and we found a nicely secluded spot for their ceremony. Dave led the ceremony, but Britt and Cameron wrote their own vows. After an emotional ceremony, Dave helped with the paper work and then made his hike back down while we found a spot for cake and champagne.
