Elopements & Intimate weddings

Celebrate Your Love in the Beauty of Michigan’s Upper Peninsula

This is way more than just some pretty wedding photos! It’s me helping you craft an experience that’s more than just a ceremony and some pictures. Tailored to meet your dreams, needs, and wants for the day. Do you dream of saying your vows on a secret beach in the wild? Let’s plan it! Want to include some magical ceremonies or rituals? I can help with that. How about “choose your own adventure”? Heck yeah!

An unforgettable Experience

I help imaginative, nature-loving couples craft amazing, uncomplicated elopements and micro-weddings in the incredible wilds of Michigan’s Upper Peninsula.

So you can have an adventurous yet meaningful experience, in an incredible place in nature, that’s adventurous and spiritual.

If the thought of having a low-key, no-frills intentional wedding experience that allows you to connect with nature, and each other, and be able to savor every magical moment, then this is for you!

that’s me! Let’s do this!

Does any of this sound familiar?

If it does, then you’re in the right place!

Planning a traditional wedding with all the stress, drama, and money wasted on stuff that’s used up in a day just doesn’t feel right for you.
While beautiful pictures are very important to you, you’d like to be able to spend the majority of your day not worrying about posing or having to perform for the camera.
You love the idea of a magical, romantic escape in nature vs. a big, traditional wedding, but don’t know how to plan.
Having an incredible, spiritual experience with the love of your life, that you can look back on with zero regrets would be fantastic.

My APPROACH

Your Love Story, Documented In Beautiful, Timeless Imagery.

I love working with couples who don’t love the idea of posing for perfect or trendy pictures. Who want to enjoy their day without feeling pressured or directed constantly. Who are ok with going with the flow and enjoying every moment.

My style of photography is laid-back & relaxed, focusing on storytelling in an artistic and emotive way.

On the day of, I spend most of it just hanging out and celebrating with you as you enjoy all the amazing locations and things we planned ahead of time. Along the way, I’ll share stories and remind you about why this experience is so special. And for a small portion of the day, we’ll create some art that focuses on your connection, together.

frequently asked questions

Yes, you can do whatever you want- this is your wedding! But to keep things organized and easy, I define an elopement as a “just us” wedding ceremony, and weddings or elopements with 1 to 20 guests as “Micro-Weddings”. ;)

I am here to help you plan your perfect elopement experience! While I’m not officially a wedding planner, I have over 10 years of experience with elopements and small weddings. I can help with everything from choosing the best locations to crafting your day of timeline, and everything in-between. I can’t make decisions for you or book other vendors or reservations, but I’m happy to help make sure you have an amazing, memorable, stress-free experience!

YES! I love dogs (and all animals) and I work really well with them. I can also help you find pet-friendly locations & lodging.

Michigan is my home- I grew up in the Southeast Lower Peninsula, lived in Traverse City for 8 years, and now reside in the Upper Peninsula. I’m very familiar with locations and logistics all over the Mitten State, so I can confidently say I’m a Michigan elopement expert.

Besides Michigan, I’ve photographed weddings and elopements as far as Costa Rica and Scotland. In the States, I’ve traveled to California, Arizona, Colorado, and many other places to photograph elopements and weddings. I’m an avid traveler and love documenting love stories all over the world!

If you’re considering eloping outside of my local area (the Western Upper Peninsula), I’d love to help you plan an amazing experience, give you recommendations, and be there with you to photograph it! My travel rates are all-inclusive so you don’t have to worry about mileage, permits, fees, accommodations, airfare, or anything else. Contact me today and let’s get started!
