Trade the expected for the extraordinary. The East Coast Trail is made for couples who want their day to feel like a true adventure — a cliffside hiking path along the Avalon Peninsula, towering sea stacks, and the wild North Atlantic crashing below. 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 East Coast Trail

  • Cliffside hiking path — Say your vows on dramatic headlands with the ocean stretching to the horizon.

  • Sea stacks — Towering rock formations rising from the surf, sculpted by centuries of waves.

  • Avalon Peninsula — Rugged coastal wilderness just minutes from St. John's, yet worlds away.

  • Wildlife — Whales, puffins, and seabirds along the trail, especially in summer.

When to Go — June through September brings the best hiking weather and longest days, with whales from June into summer.
