Hi, I’m Andrea
Michigan Elopement Planner & Award-Winning Photographer
Deeply inspired by the Keweenaw’s wild landscapes and the intimate connection shared between two human beings. I have been photographing and co-crafting elopements for over 10 years.
I live for my family, my dog (Apollo), my 3 cats (Yeti, Deena & J’zargo), and my horse (Scarlett). When I’m not behind the camera, you might find me collecting rocks, foraging for wild mushrooms, or relaxing in my hammock by the lake.
I help couples like you plan amazing, unique elopement experiences in the untamed beauty of Michigan’s Upper Peninsula. An intimate, magical, romantic escape into the wild.
What it means to elope
Although the traditional approach to an elopement is to run away and get married without parental consent, elopements have evolved into something different– something much better- and something you don’t have to hide from your family.
An elopement is choosing a unique and adventurous wedding experience that’s focused on what matters most- your relationship, your commitment, and what feels right for you. It involves either just the two of you or a small group of loved ones, opting for a more authentic, low-cost, and stress-free alternative to big traditional weddings.
Let’s ditch the traditional, embrace the extraordinary, and make this an adventure to remember!
Close your eyes and just imagine…
You’re standing in an incredible spot in nature. As the wind winds its way around you, the sun warms your skin, and the sound of Lake Superior’s crashing waves fills your ears, you can feel intense sacred energy as if the ancient spirits of the land are rising up to greet you. It’s as if the rocks, trees, and sky are alive and welcoming you home.
Now you open your eyes, look into the sparkling eyes of your partner, smile, take their hand, and place the ring on their finger…
You just had the most incredible experience, joining your soul mate in marriage and beginning your journey together in a breathtaking place in the wilds of Michigan’s Upper Peninsula. Instead of feeling rushed or pressured on your wedding day, you had the freedom to relax, unwind, let go, and be present in each amazing moment.
