The Bark Eater Inn is a wedding and elopement venue. It sits tucked into the high peaks of the Adirondack mountains in Keene, New York. This stunning setting is one of the few on location Adirondack wedding venues that can be completely private. As a result, one could plan a destination wedding that easily fills the property and invites guest to a secluded luxury experience.
Savannah + Erik planned a weekend wedding in August. Family and friends could come celebrate and enjoy a mountain getaway. Then the pandemic came and they adjusted plans. We created a beautiful elopement inspired engagement shoot instead.
Jules of The Luminous Bride, created Savannah’s chic pony and red lip. She is one of my favorite hair + makeup artists. We met while working together on my first workshop.
Bark Eater Inn Adirondack Wedding Venue
The main house of the inn can accommodate 12 people in 6 different rooms. The woods hold two cabins. One is big enough for 6-10 and the other for 2 people. On site there are several locations for a ceremony, a tent and of course views all around of the high peaks. It is home to a beautiful garden full of flowers and the butterflies it attracts. It sits close to Lake Placid, Jay, Wilmington and Elizabethtown.
