Nature enthusiast. Lover of wild places. Free-spirited introvert. I have been photographing weddings and love stories for over 11 years. For me, there is nothing more fulfilling than capturing stories of love and connection. Picture this: an amazing day with just the two of you, surrounded by the untamed beauty of Michigan’s Upper Peninsula. This isnโt your typical wedding; it’s an intimate, magical escape into nature. If you’re seeking someone to assist you in planning a non-traditional nature escape wedding in Michigan, then you’ve found the right person
What Is An Elopement?
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.
This experience is anything but cookie-cutter. It is tailor-made to be amazing and regret-free, celebrating your unique story in a way that truly speaks to your love story.
You will have the freedom to relax and savor every minute of it. This is your chance for a fun, stress-free, and truly enjoyable wedding in the beautiful Upper Peninsula that focuses on what truly matters – your love story.
When we work together, I will assist you in curating an unforgettable wedding experience in nature that allows you to truly savor every moment. Your elopement day will be a stress-free celebration of your love, and I will be there to capture every smile, happy tear, subtle hand touch with your partner, and all the small moments that make your day magical. In the end, you will have lifelong memories to cherish.
Close your eyes and just imagine…
Youโre 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 Superiorโs 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. Itโs 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 fingerโฆ
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 Michiganโs Upper Peninsula.
