Jess and Paul's Fall Mountaintop Elopement at Mount Mansfield in Stowe, Vermont

Looking at these photos and seeing how comfortable and happy Jess and Paul are, you’d have no idea that it was only 40 degrees at the top of Mount Mansfield on Sunday. You can thank the sunshine, whiskey, and the adrenaline rush of getting to marry your best friend that you’ve known for nearly half your life for that!

It has been two years since I had the honor of photographing my last Mansfield elopement, so when Jess reached out last month, I was super excited, and even more so when I found out that Greg Trulson (who I worked with for the last Mansfield summit elopement) would be officiating. Between Jess, Paul, Greg, Jack (the videographer), and I, we spent the afternoon laughing together and truly enjoying our time at the start of fall in one of the most beautiful places on earth.
