Hey, I’m Andrea — storyteller, photographer, and Michigan elopement expert.
I love uncovering the magic in everyday life. Besides doing my thing here at Lume Photography, I’m an herbalist, forager, crafter, and explorer. I love puns and awful dad jokes.
I live in the rugged Keweenaw Peninsula in Michigan with my little family and the assortment of animals we live with. We’re nestled within the wild beauty of the Keweenaw Peninsula, where every day feels like an escape! We have 3 cats and a dog plus a horse at a nearby farm- what can I say? I love animals! When I have free time you might find me rock or mushroom hunting. And my camera is always with me so I can document life and all of its amazingness.
I’m all about creating unforgettable moments for nature-loving couples in Michigan’s Upper Peninsula. Imagine a cliffside elopement by Lake Superior or a cozy forest gathering with loved ones—I’m here to make it happen and document your unique love story!
My untraditional wedding day and why it was the best day ever.
Scott (my husband) and I had finally decided to get married after 7 years of living together and having our daughter Natalie. We didn’t want a traditional wedding with all the stress, pressure, and drama that typically accompanies it. Instead, we opted to do things our own way. We chose to escape to a special place in nature. We didn’t want the spotlight on us while exchanging vows, nor did we want to spend a fortune on all the unnecessary wedding expenses. It was just the two of us and our officiant,under the open sky, in a breathtaking place, and we cherished every moment. Our wedding day was an adventure that felt absolutely right.
I’m telling you this because I want other couples like us to experience those unforgettable moments in a wild and untamed place, where the focus is solely on you and your story, without any interference from others. If you like the idea of escaping to a magnificent natural setting, free from drama and expectations, where you can truly be yourself and have a fantastic and magical time, I understand and would be thrilled to help make it happen for both of you.
