Max Patch Photography - Mountaintop Elopement on the AT

Hot Springs, NC - Brittany and Joshua - Max Patch Elopement - 5.20.26

Elopement photography is all about capturing who you are as a couple. When Brittany and Joshua chose to get married on Max Patch, a beautiful spot along the Appalachian Trail, I was thrilled to join them and take photos. I love hiking, adventure, and the mountains of western North Carolina, so this morning was a real treat for me. I photographed their heartfelt vows, and then we took more pictures in this amazing place atop the mountain. Being part of any wedding is an honor, but the intimacy of elopements always feels extra special to me.
