Surprise Mountaintop Sunset Proposal in Acadia National Park

Brian Aquadro January 11, 2024

David reached out to us the week before they arrived in Bar Harbor looking for help in capturing his proposal to Meghan. They had been together 7 years, and he had his heart set on a sunset mountain proposal.

Happy couple embraces after getting engaged at sunset on Beech Mountain in Acadia National Park with Long Pond in the background.

We decided on the location, and Brian went up a few days before and scouted the location. We sent videos, pictures, and map plots showing David exactly how to get to the spot so that he knew right where to be and where Brian would be.

Newly engaged couple smile, standing on a cliff on Beech Mountain with the sun setting behind them in Acadia National Park.

We agreed on a signal, and Brian arrived on site 45 minutes early to subtly mark the turnoff and the proposal location as they’d planned.

Smiling woman lays her head on her fiancees chest as they embrace in the sunset after getting engaged on western cliffs of Beech Mountain.

We were so thrilled that the weather cooperated and gave David and Meghan a gorgeous sunset backdrop for their proposal! The golden light cascading across the mountains was the perfect touch of magic to their special moment.

Couple share an intimate moment on the cliffs of Beech Mountain overlooking Long Pond as the sun sets in Acadia National Park after a surprise proposal.

Seeing the sun was about to dip below the horizon, Brian suggested they take a break from photos so that David and Meghan could savor this special sunset together, and we could pick up with photos again after.

Thinking of proposing in Bar Harbor or Acadia National Park? Let’s talk! No matter how much (or how little!) planning you’ve done, we’re happy to jump in and make sure your special moment is captured beautifully. We live on the island year round and spend most of our time in the park; one of our favorite things to do is find little hidden corners of beauty.
