Married On The East Coast

💜 “Would you be able to marry us?”

💙 “We want to get married, just the 2 of us, we don’t like big crowds.”

❤️ “We love your website, you are exactly what we’re looking for!”

🩷 “We want to get married on a beach at sunset, can you help us?”

These are some of the sweetest words that couples share with me. I love love. 💝

Tucked away in the heart of the forest, surrounded by towering evergreens, the dome at Fire Loch is pure magic. 🌿🏕️

Lauren + Ryan shared the sweetest vows here last fall, followed by pizza from their favorite local spots (because love + pizza = perfect combo 🍕💛). So many happy tears, hugs, and cheers to forever! 🥂

If you’re dreaming of a romantic, secluded elopement, you’ve found it!

I’m so excited for my dear friend Hilary Hendsbee! This gal is a super talented photographer. Her work is meaningful and she documents the authentic life, love and story of her subjects. When my couples book an elopement with us, she is the one who documents the adventure from start to finish. I’m so lucky to have her by my side making all the important things come to life. Congratulations Hilary✨

Exciting things happening at Cast Away Cafe! Hilary Hendsbee Photography is hard at work today, hanging her stunning photos for everyone to enjoy. Her amazing collection will be on display starting tomorrow, Saturday, October 5th, until Friday, October 11th. Stop by, grab a coffee, and check out her incredible work!

✨Private Vows✨

🌲Need inspiration to make this important decision? Then let Alisha + Brandon’s beautiful forest location help you.

📝Vows do not need to be witnessed by your Justice of the Peace, or anyone other than yourselves.

📸 But maybe invite your photographer if you want to capture the special moment. I bet those photos will be some of your favourites of the day.
