The problem, and the fix

The Problem

Somehow a wedding photographer and a Saturday costs as much as a used car.

Guest lists, seating charts, a planner on retainer, an "album consultation." Somewhere in there it stopped being about you two.

The Fix

Hike up. Say "I do." Skip the invoice that costs more than your car.

No planning or vendor coordination included — not every couple needs the comprehensive route. I know the White Mountains trails and the light, and I don't charge extra for gimmicks like albums or print credits you don't need.

Pick a trail, pick a package

Real prices. Right here. No "contact for pricing" games.

Free perk: I'm also a licensed officiant, so I can sign your marriage license on the spot (where state law allows) — no extra fee. That's a $650+ savings, built right in.
No hidden fees

No engagement session upsell. No "second shooter" fee. What you see is what you pay.

Need more time?

Extra time beyond 3 hours is $200/hour.

Travel

Free within 90 miles of Nashua, NH. Beyond that, $2/mile — not free, but not a markup either.

Franconia Notch

Franconia, NH

Artist's Bluff, Echo Lake, Cannon Cliffs. Short hike, huge view — the easiest yes in the Whites.

Cathedral Ledge

North Conway, NH

Drive most of the way up, still looks like you earned it. Big cliffside views, low effort.

Crawford Notch

Hart’s Location, NH

Mount Willard's summit has one of the best view-to-effort ratios in the state.

Pinkham Notch

Gorham, NH

Base of Mount Washington. Trails for every fitness level, waterfalls if you want them.

Zealand Notch

Bethlehem, NH

A longer hike to a hut with a view worth every step — for couples who want to earn it.

Sugar Hill

Sugar Hill, NH

Lupine fields every June. Nothing says New Hampshire quite like it.

The Sugarloafs

Twin Mountain, NH

North and Middle Sugarloaf — quieter trails, same big payoff, less crowded than the notches.

Mount Monadnock

Jaffrey, NH

One of the most-hiked mountains on Earth, for good reason. Southern NH's answer to the Whites.

Mount Washington

Sargent’s Purchase, NH

The tallest peak in the Northeast. Not for the faint of heart — or the faint of hiking boots.

Anton, elopement photographer, on a trail in the White Mountains

About Me

Hey, I'm Anton — I don't own a suit, but I do own good hiking boots.

I got into elopements because I like couples who know what they want and don't want to pay for what they don't. No packages named after gemstones. Just good photos, honestly priced. Based in New Hampshire, I spend most weekends somewhere in the White Mountains — Franconia Notch, Pinkham Notch, Crawford Notch — doing exactly this.

Common Questions

Eloping in the White Mountains, answered

How much does an elopement photographer cost in New Hampshire?
Packages start at $600 for a one-hour, one-location elopement in the White Mountains, up to $1,000 for a longer multi-location adventure day. No "contact for pricing" games — see the Pick a Trail, Pick a Package section above for exact numbers.
Do you need a permit to elope in White Mountain National Forest?
Most of the trailheads and overlooks I shoot at don't require a special permit for a small, low-key elopement ceremony — but rules vary by land manager (National Forest vs. state park vs. AMC land), so I'll help you pick a spot that's simple and legal when we talk.
Can you legally marry us in New Hampshire?
Yes — I'm a licensed officiant, so I can sign your marriage license on the spot (where state law allows), included free with every package. That's a $650+ savings built right in.
What's the best time of year to elope in the White Mountains?
Fall foliage (late September through mid-October) and lupine season in Sugar Hill (June) are the most popular, but the White Mountains work year-round — winter summit elopements and spring waterfall hikes both make for incredible photos.
Where in New Hampshire do you shoot elopements?
Mostly Franconia Notch, Pinkham Notch, Crawford Notch, Franconia Ridge, and Mount Washington — plus trips outside New Hampshire for adventure elopements in Colorado, Utah, Maine, and beyond.
How far in advance should we book?
I only take one elopement per day, so popular dates — especially fall weekends — book up months out. Reach out as soon as you have a date in mind and I'll hold it once you sign.
How do we get a marriage license in New Hampshire?
You'll get it from any New Hampshire town or city clerk's office — it doesn't have to be the town where you're actually getting married. Both of you typically go in person with ID, and the license is valid for 90 days once issued. I'll point you to the exact steps once we lock in your date.
