Luke M2025-02-11Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. When we decided on an elopement, we knew there were certain things we weren’t willing to sacrifice. We wanted our day to feel true to us, intimate, and personal to allow us the ability to be completely present with one another without all of the external pressures. We knew that we wanted to document our day in a special way to preserve this lifetime moment. After much research, we landed upon Forever Wild Vows. Tom and Lexi delivered all of this and so much more. During the planning phase, Tom helped guide us through inquisitive and thoughtful questions, constant and consistent communication, and various follow ups to ensure a smooth timeline leading up to and on elopement day. On elopement day, Lexi was our officiant (and later doubled as our photographer because she’s a star!). She concocted such a beautiful ceremony that was personalized, held with care, and emotional in a way that we weren’t prepared for (in the best way!). It felt like Lexi really knew us, understood us, and we were given space to truly relish in each moment. And as for the documenting of the day?! Wow! Speechless!!! We got married in the middle of winter on what ended up being one of the windiest days. We knew what we signed up for and given the circumstances of that day, we were crossing our fingers for at least just a few good shots! Well, Tom and Lexi put that worry to ease when they sent us a dozen preview pics the same day and we were immediately blown away! I can’t describe just how well they captured each moment - the emotions, the surroundings, the journey. They are both extremely talented photographers who know how to capture a moment and tell a story. For anyone nervous about being in front of a camera, Tom and Lexi truly complement one another and made us feel at ease and comfortable right away. We’ve already recommended Forever Wild Vows to some of our couple friends and 100% recommend them for anyone interested in an adventure elopement. Tom and Lexi are a dream team and thanks to Forever Wild Vows, we were given our dream elopement day! Phylicia Crowe2024-12-04Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We used Forever Wild Vows for our micro wedding this November. Tom and his team were extremely knowledgeable on desirable locations for our ceremony, offered us different options and handled the task of acquiring required permits. The attention to detail was evident in our final photo gallery, my husband and I are in love with our entire photo selection. Andrew was our officiant and made our ceremony feel personalized, authentic, and special. They maintained clear communication from the start of the process up unto our wedding day and even after, available to answer any questions or concerns we may had or have. If you’re considering eloping or having a micro wedding we highly recommend working with Forever Wild Vows. Cruz Johnson2024-11-06Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. My wife Emily and I were so lucky to find Tom, Lexi, and the rest of their team through Forever Wild Vows. They were able to effortlessly accommodate every aspect of what we wanted on our special day: A simple, stress free day to celebrate our love and commitment to each other, and capture memories that we will be able to cherish for a lifetime. Their kind and compassionate nature shaped such a wonderful environment and allowed us to worry about one thing. Love. Vanessa V.2024-10-30Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. From our initial consultation to our wedding day, Tom and his team made us feel truly special. Words can’t fully capture the confidence, creativity, and attentiveness that Forever Wild Vows provided. We knew from the beginning that we didn’t want a huge wedding; we desired a ceremony that reflected who we are. Being surrounded by nature in the Adirondacks and our closest loved ones was an emotional whirlwind, and Forever Wild Vows made it all happen. I would relive that day over and over if it meant having Gavin and Marc Anthony with us. We felt so comfortable with them, and their professionalism combined with a down-to-earth vibe was truly mesmerizing. We can’t recommend them enough Thank you, Thank you, Thank you a million times. Victoria Hurley2024-10-26Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Forever Wild Vows was the best decision we made in planning our elopement! From start to finish, they were very well organized in helping us plan. They provided us with a checklist to make sure we were prepared, provided recommendation for beautiful places in the Adirondack area, were very communicative, and took the time for some phone calls to make sure we knew what to expect. On the day of our wedding, Andrew provided a heart felt ceremony, and Lexi and Tom gave us guidance on every step of the way to make it as smooth as possible. Not only we’re their photographs absolutely stunning, but they were great company as we hiked to the top of a summit. They are clearly very passionate at what they do, and it shows through in their work. After, the wedding they sent us a sneak peak within a few days, and then a slide show a few weeks later to hold us over until we got the final photos! I would 1000% recommend hiring them as your elopement experts. Mike and Nikki Finn2024-10-24Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Amazing experience!! Working with the team prior to the day was easy! They were very communicative and available to talk phone and zoom, offering suggestions when we needed and listening to what was important to us. The day of was magic, we had perfect weather for a sunrise ceremony, the spot was gorgeous. We had an easy hike at Cobbler Lookout, would recommend! The ceremony was small, just the two of us and the Forever Wild Vows team which we can’t say enough good things about! All fun and personable and added to our special day. The pictures came out stunning!! Rachael Ducharme2024-10-24Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. If you're looking for a stress-free elopement, this is it. When we decided to elope we were really looking for not just a single day filled with memories but a place we could go back to and cherish those memories for years to come. After our initial consultation with Tom it was clear we had found a match with Forever Wild Vows. The whole team made our experience easy, seamless and stressless from day one. From choosing a location, answering any and all questions, creating a more personalized ceremony and staying on top of updates and scheduling, we couldn't have asked for better people to help make our dream a reality. The day of was met with amazing weather and the location was even more beautiful than we could have imagined. Our officiant, Andrew, did a wonderful job creating a ceremony personalized to us and what we had told him about our life together. Tom and Lexi created a comfortable environment and made sure we had lots of fun. It was very important to us to have our three dogs there during our elopement and Tom, Lexi and Andrew were all so patient and kind to them. We cannot thank them enough for their understanding and gentle nature. Our dogs are a handful to say the least and they were nothing short of sensational with them. We cannot recommend Forever Wild Vows enough, not just for the beautiful photos and wonderful ceremony they provide, but for the overall amazing experience and kindness they emit in every aspect. If you are considering eloping, you will not be disappointed having Forever Wild Vows be a part of your special day. James Lansing2024-10-24Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We cannot begin to express how happy we are with the Forever Wild Vows crew! The magic of our day was beautifully captured and we could not be happier with our photos. From the initial phone call consultation to the surveys they sent a few weeks prior to the event, everything was extremely organized and thought out. We opted for an early morning hike to the summit of Mt. Van Hoevenberg. Seeing the morning sun light up the fluorescing autumn foliage below us marked the scene for truly one of the best days of our lives. Turn around time on our whole album was very efficient as well. Again, forever grateful for Tom, Lexi, Andrew, and Lexi squared. Taylor Larkin2024-10-11Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. My husband and I couldn’t be happier with our experience with Forever Wild Vows! From the moment we discovered them and saw the beautiful elopements and weddings they had created for other couples, we knew they were exactly what we were looking for. From start to finish, every aspect of the process was stress-free and seamless, which is exactly how we wanted to celebrate our marriage. From our first phone call to the emails and planning along the way, Tom was always available to answer questions and offer helpful suggestions. Everything was totally customizable, allowing us to create the perfect day that reflected exactly what we envisioned. Marc-Anthony, our officiant, and Gavin, our photographer, were so welcoming. They made sure that we and our guests felt comfortable, understood, and in control from the moment we arrived at the location until we headed to our car. As we left, we really couldn't believe how simple the whole thing was. We received our sneak peek photos just a few days after the wedding, and they were absolutely stunning! We can’t wait to see the rest of the photos and truly can’t recommend Forever Wild Vows highly enough! Delaney Forgette Boyd2024-10-01Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. My husband Ethan and I are so so happy we chose Tom and Lexi to shoot our special day! when we were in the planning stages, the only thing we cared about was being together and being in the mountains! we originally planned for Whiteface, but with some new rules they made that wasn't going to be an option for our ceremony. Tom came up with a great plan to help us have our perfect day, and I think it worked out better than our original idea! Tom and Lexi were so fun and easy going and really made us feel comfortable behind the camera. The best part is, they had sneak peaks back to us by the time we woke up the next day!! I could go on and on about how great they were. we are forever thankful for them!Load more

Check out some of our top Frequently Asked Questions!
Check out some of our top Frequently Asked Questions!
Not at all! While we’ve worked with many couples who love hiking—some even new to it—it’s not a requirement to enjoy the beauty of nature for your elopement.
We believe nature is for everyone, whether you’re excited about a 10-mile trek or prefer to exchange your vows at a scenic overlook you can drive right up to.
There are countless breathtaking locations that only require a short walk, and many are easily accessible by car.
Absolutely! If having your loved ones with you is an essential part of your day, we’d love to help find the perfect spot that’s both beautiful and accessible for your group.
Our packages are designed for up to 15 people, as many of these stunning locations are best suited for smaller gatherings.
However, we’re happy to discuss options if you’re planning for a larger group! Let’s chat and find the best fit for your vision.
No need to wait—reach out as soon as you’re ready! We can set up a relaxed planning call to talk through your ideas, answer any questions, and help you get a clearer picture of your day. It’s a great way to explore your options and find inspiration for what’s to come.
The first step is to head over to our contact page and send us a message! Once we hear from you, we’ll schedule a call to discuss your ideas, answer any questions, and make sure we’re the right fit for your day. After that, we’ll finalize a date, and to secure it, we’ll need a deposit and contract. Then, we can dive into the fun part—planning your perfect elopement!
Eloping can be as planned or as spontaneous as you’d like it to be! We recommend booking once you’re confident this is the way you want to celebrate. Most couples typically book 6-18 months in advance. For our busiest months—August, September, and October—we suggest booking at least 9 months ahead to secure your preferred date. That said, we’ve helped couples plan elopements in under two weeks, so anything is possible!
Absolutely not a problem! Many couples who inquire know they want an elopement and work with us at the beginning of the planning process to nail down exactly what they would like for their day.
Nope! While we specialize in the Adirondacks, we’re experienced in capturing elopements all across New York State. From the stunning waterfalls of the Finger Lakes to the beaches of Lake Ontario, and the breathtaking Catskill Mountains, we love helping couples create unforgettable moments in beautiful locations beyond the Adirondacks. If you have a spot in mind, chances are we’ve either been there or can’t wait to explore it with you!
Eloping is often far more affordable than a traditional wedding. While the average cost of a traditional wedding in the U.S. is around $34,000, elopements typically range from $5,000 to $15,000, depending on your preferences.
What you don’t need when eloping:
- Venue Costs (average $6,000 – $25,000)
- Catering for a big guest list (average $5,000 – $10,000)
- Formal reception entertainment like DJs or live bands (average $1,000 – $3,000)
- Excessive rentals or decor (average $2,000 – $5,000)
- Open bar (average $2,000 – $4,000)
- Bridal party expenses (average $500 – $1,000 per person)
- Wedding favors (average $500 – $1,000) – Skip these and invest in experiences instead.
- Invitations & paper goods (average $300 – $1,500) – Elopements often have fewer (if any) paper invites or RSVP cards.
- Transportation for guests (average $500 – $2,000) – Without a large guest list, you don’t need to arrange transport for everyone.
Elopements focus on what truly matters—an intimate experience and beautiful photos—without the stress or hefty price tag of a traditional wedding. You get to invest in what’s meaningful to you while skipping the extra costs.
