PEI is peaceful. Seriously… it’s the kind of place that slows you down the moment you step onto it. The beaches, the cliffs, the water everywhere you turn… it all just feels calm. Slow. Not rushed. It’s my favourite place to be, and it’s easy to see why couples fall in love with it for their PEI elopement.
You don’t need crowds or schedules here. You can focus on the day, the two of you, and the little moments that really matter. The landscape truly does most of the work. You don’t need heavy decorations or elaborate planning!!
Locations
PEI has a lot of options depending on the vibe you want:
Cliffs: Dramatic views and wide-open spaces.. beautiful water views. Perfect for private moments if you’re adventurous and love to hike. (These photos were taken at Cape Tryon!)
Beaches: PEI offers white and red sand beaches! Soft sand, open horizons, and the sound of waves. Timing with the tides can give you some unique opportunities!
Fields: Calm, tucked-away spaces that feel personal and relaxed. Pick your timing right and you’ll have lupins or wildflowers.
The right spot comes down to how you want your day to feel, not just how it looks in photos. That’s where guidance comes in, knowing which locations flow with the day, the light, and your vision.
The Best Time of Year to Elope
PEI is beautiful year‑round, but the feel of your elopement can change with the seasons:
Winter: dramatic skies and stark landscapes (more adventurous)
Summer: long days and warm light
Shoulder seasons (spring/fall): softer light and quieter locations
How I Approach PEI Elopements
I help couples plan a day that feels natural and unforced. From picking the right locations to guiding the flow of your day and capturing moments as they unfold. My goal is to keep it grounded, relaxed, and real. No stress. No fluff. Just your story, told in a way that actually reflects you.
Your PEI elopement is about being present, feeling calm, and creating a day that actually feels like YOU. The island makes that possible, and I love helping couples make it happen.
