Intimate Fall Outdoor Wedding in Mont-Tremblant

Victoria and Sawyer travelled all the way from LA to elope in Québec during peak fall colors, and we found just the right place to make that happen. The picturesque mountain locations we chose were ideal for their intimate fall outdoor wedding in Mont-Tremblant, from the quiet moments getting ready at their cabin to evening portraits under a colorful sunset sky. It was an honor to show these California adventurers around the beautiful place I call home!

Victoria + Sawyer’s Mont-Tremblant Mountain Top Intimate Wedding

A trip from LA to elope during Québec’s peak fall colors

If you are traveling from the States to elope in Québec, you can trust that I’ll find the most amazing location to bring your vision to life and make the trip incredibly worth it. For Victoria and Sawyer, this meant finding somewhere they could experience Québec’s peak fall colors as much as possible, as vibrant fall foliage is not something they have where they live in LA. I always love scouting out locations for my couples beforehand, so I was thrilled to explore and find an amazing destination for them since they couldn’t travel here before their intimate wedding.

Let’s back it up a bit first, though, because I am a sucker for a romantic proposal story. Sawyer asked Victoria to marry him while hiking in Malibu, California, at the highest point with a view of the ocean and no other people in sight, just fields of wildflowers and trees. So it only made sense that they would exchange vows atop a mountain and incorporate their shared love for adventure and being outdoors!

Victoria and Sawyer’s main priority was being able to enjoy their wedding without a packed, rushed schedule and to have plenty of time to spend with their immediate families. We kept this in mind as we coordinated their timeline, ceremony, and activities, making sure that nothing was too set in stone and that we’d have a chance to go with the flow when the day arrived. We definitely succeeded in that goal, and it shows in how laid-back, effortless, and intimate their photos (and experience) turned out.

Their day started at a gorgeous cabin in Lac-Supérieur with stunning views of the surrounding mountains, joined by friends and family who all traveled from the States to celebrate with them.

Victoria’s mom helped her get ready alongside a talented hairstylist, whom I recommended because she had eloped herself and had firsthand experience to offer. Victoria wore a simple yet elegant low bun, a hairpiece for a little sparkle, and loose, effortless curls framing her face.

Sawyer got ready with his dad in another room, where he opened a sweet and heartfelt gift from his bride-to-be’s mom: a traditional Chinese red envelope. In Chinese culture, these envelopes are traditionally given by elders or married couples, and symbolize joy, happiness, and prosperity. What a lovely and thoughtful way to start off their marriage journey!

Once dressed in his eye-catching forest green tuxedo and brown bowtie, he found his beautiful bride out in front of the cabin for their first look. And with the most spectacular views, I might add!

If you’d like help figuring out if a first look is the right choice for you, I talk more about them in this blog post, where the couple actually did a first look with their family.

Breathtaking mountain top vows and views

During the planning process, Victoria and Sawyer shared that their dream location was somewhere with mountains and big, colorful trees, with vast skies in the background. So I found just the place: this stunning location in Mont-Tremblant. I recommended it to the couple for its ease of access, since they wanted to bring their loved ones to their ceremony. I guided them to pick the best timing and area, since Québec’s peak fall colors don’t last long, and it’s important to choose your date carefully.

We took the road from their cabin toward their ceremony location, where they hiked and exchanged vows in front of their loved ones (with a celebrant I recommended, who officiated in English). The foliage in the background was just as rich and vibrant as Victoria and Sawyer had hoped for, especially with the warm fall sun shining down on us the whole time. We were all amazed by the fiery reds, bold oranges, and golden yellow hues that painted the forests around us!

Dinner with a private chef and a sunset hike

Back at the cabin, we were greeted by Max, a local chef who had delicious food ready for us. I was excited that Victoria and Sawyer decided to hire this talented chef to prepare their meal, using local products to create his delightful, seasonal fall dishes. Less stress and planning for them, and a more memorable experience for their guests!

I am always more than happy to recommend my favorite local suppliers that I trust to make your day unforgettable, whether you are looking for a hair stylist, celebrant, florist, chef, or anyone else who would make your celebration easy and stress-free.

We later met back up for a short sunset hike in Mont-Tremblant, ready to enjoy the beautiful show of fall colors yet again for newlywed portraits. This is often one of my favorite parts of intimate wedding days, when the couple gets a chance to celebrate in private and bask in the scenery, as well as appreciate the emotions that come with being newlyweds. A toast to Victoria and Sawyer and the amazing Mont-Tremblant fall outdoor intimate wedding that was everything they had dreamt of!
