Elope in Anticosti
Trade the expected for the extraordinary. Anticosti is made for couples who want their day to feel like a true adventure — a remote island in the Gulf of St. Lawrence, limestone canyons hiding waterfalls, and white-tailed deer outnumbering people a hundred to one. I will be there to document it all honestly: the wind in your hair, the laughter between your vows, and the quiet moments no one else sees.
Why Anticosti
Total remoteness — Say your vows on an island so wild it feels like the edge of the world, with no crowds and no noise. Rugged, raw, and impossibly romantic.
Canyons and waterfalls — Limestone gorges like Vauréal Canyon, where waterfalls plunge through sculpted rock. A landscape that feels like another planet.
Wild deer — Thousands of white-tailed deer roam free, often wandering into your portraits like invited guests.
Sea cliffs and fossils — Fossil-rich limestone shores and sea caves along hundreds of kilometres of untouched coastline.
When to Go — June through September brings the mildest weather and longest days, with wildflowers in early summer and salmon running in the rivers. Winter elopements are for the truly bold: the island nearly empty, dramatic seas, and total solitude.
