Sweet Elopement at a Unique Airbnb in Pittsboro, NC
Kaitlin & Adam’s Elopement Story
This is one of my favorite elopement stories to date! Kaitlin and Adam had been planning a wedding in 2019 before plans completely shifted in early 2020. Originally they had intended to wait and have their wedding as planned, but as time continued, they realized, as many other couples did at that time, that an elopement might be a better fit! Kaitlin reached out to me and told me the whole plan, which I immediately fell in love with! We then went to work crafting the best timeline for their 4-person elopement day at an eclectic Airbnb Kaitlin found nestled in the woods in Pittsboro, North Carolina.

Their day
Kaitlin and Adam’s day started off at the courthouse in downtown Pittsboro. They had a private ceremony with their two closest friends as witnesses outside, with a large tree as their backdrop. After the ceremony, they headed to their Airbnb on the outskirts of town to meet me and partake in the rest of the celebratory activities!
I think the BEST part of Kaitlin and Adam’s day was how free and calm it was. We were never in a rush, we had plenty of time to get everything done, and it just felt entirely intentional around them, their preferences, what felt meaningful, and what felt FUN in the moment. I loved how laid back they were when getting ready- just giddy to finally be married!
Together, we explored the Airbnb property taking couple portraits and getting eaten alive by North Carolina’s infamous mosquitos. Then, Kaitlin went inside to change into her wedding dress, which was a customized dress made from her mother’s vintage dress and was absolutely stunning! Her and Adam shared an intimate first look before having a sweet little private vow sharing outside before the rain started.
After vows and portraits, we all settled in for the night. They had their first dance while their best friend sang and played guitar, we popped champagne, exchanged gifts, and perused her parent’s photo album from their wedding as a way to celebrate the core people in their lives that weren’t able to physically be present that day.
It was a day full of intention, love, and pure joy. I was so thankful to be a part of it and get to capture the story of that day for them to relive for years to come. That’s the best part about this job, and Kaitlin and Adam are no exception!
