Cozy Nature Inspired Wedding in The Woods

Share

Romantic forest wedding with bride and groom kissing

It doesn’t get cozier than this intimate wedding in the woods and we love the natural, laid-back vibe this next couple aimed to have for their elopement down by the river in the Adirondack mountains of Upper Jay, NY. 

With only 5 people in attendance, their nature-inspired day was completely charming with gorgeous florals and an intimate table setting to celebrate with their nearest and dearest. Ready for a closer look? Then keep scrolling for more gorgeous photos + the couples budget breakdown, and be sure to visit the full gallery from Dawn Honsky Photography.

Beautiful early summer elopement

From Dawn Honsky Photography: This couple wanted something completely intimate that incorporated nature and I believe our group of vendors did just that. The couple, five of their nearest and dearest friends and their pup Lexi all celebrated the weekend together at a beautiful camp in the Adirondack mountains of Upper Jay NY. Hanging florals, a beautiful Airbnb, campfires, and the Ausable River. Perfect location for a beautiful early summer elopement.
