Let’s Pause for a second.
This is not just about choosing a package. It’s about choosing the kind of day you want to have—and the kind of presence you want beside you. What I offer isn’t just documentation. It’s support. It’s space. It’s a way to move through your wedding day with intention, emotion, and ease. These offerings were created for people who care more about meaning than tradition. People who want to remember how it felt, not just how it looked. If that’s you, you’re in the right place.

meet Your Guide and storyteller
My name is Andrea, and Lume Photography is the space I’ve created for stories that feel wild, true, and beautifully untraditional. Based in the remote, wild beauty of Michigan’s Upper Peninsula, I offer photography and planning for couples who want space to breathe, feel, and move through the day in a way that feels deeply natural. For over a decade, I’ve helped couples create wedding days that feel like exhaling.
As the Upper Peninsula’s top elopement planner, I bring together deep local knowledge, calm support, and a quiet creative presence that allows space for real connection. I create photographs and GIFs that hold feeling—not just what it looked like, but how it moved, how it breathed, how it felt to be there. Couples often tell me they felt safe and grounded in front of my camera, that it all felt easy, natural, and like working with an old friend. My work is intuitive, emotion-driven, and rooted in the belief that your wedding day should reflect who you are, not what anyone else expects it to be.
What if your wedding felt like this?
Coffee and cinnamon rolls in a quiet cabin.
A swim beneath a waterfall.
A cliffside vow exchange with the wind in your hair and no one rushing you.
Letters from the people who love you most, read by a crackling fire under a sky full of stars.
That’s not a fantasy, it’s a real, grounded, soul-filling kind of day. And it’s absolutely possible.
I’m here to help plan it with you. From location ideas and timeline planning to helping you stay grounded and present in the moment. I guide the process gently and intentionally. So when the day arrives, you can let go. No drama. No pressure. No expectations to perform.
Just space to feel it all.
Freedom to be yourselves.
And a story that unfolds naturally, held with care.
If you’re like me, the idea of planning a large wedding event, spending a significant amount of money on things that aren’t truly important, and being the center of attention all day long is daunting. Let go of stress, expectations, and drama. Embrace freedom, nature, and the ability to relax and enjoy yourselves!
What makes this experience unique?

Lume Photography stands out with a focus on nature elopements and intimate weddings. The magic happens amidst the beauty of Michigan’s Upper Peninsula. With a sprinkle of magic, and a keen eye for the extraordinary, I infuse creativity and art into every wedding, engagement, family, and couples photo session.

I have 13+ years of experience and that comes with TONS of advice and resources for you! I’m full of knowledge and here for you throughout your experience. I tailor each experience to your unique story and essence. It’s not just about taking pictures; it’s about crafting visual stories that resonate with your unique journey.
No Stress
It’s like having a laid-back friend with a camera capturing your moments effortlessly, so you can relax and enjoy your experience without any added stress or pressure. You won’t have to worry about what to do or how to pose or even feel like you’re performing for the camera. Instead you get to relax, enjoy your day, and make amazing memories!
Photography without worries
Imagine just hanging out with a friend (that’s me!) who happens to have a camera. We’ll explore, chat, laugh, and I’ll provide easy prompts, gentle guidance, and soulful inspiration. Before long, you’ll forget about the camera and just be focused on having the best time together. Trust me, it’s going to be relaxed and fun, and you’re going to be amazed when you see your photos.
No pressure, no stress. It’s all about making you feel comfortable and capturing your genuine interactions.

Make It Yours
Your love story is unlike any other—why shouldn’t your wedding day be, too?
I believe in creating experiences that feel as personal and intentional as your love, and that’s why I offer a range of add-ons and enhancements to help you customize your day. Whether you’re dreaming of incorporating a sacred ritual, adding cinematic storytelling elements, or bringing in meaningful keepsakes, there are endless ways to make your experience even more unforgettable.
Imagine exchanging vows surrounded by a circle of candles or wildflowers, planting a tree to symbolize your growing love, or setting the mood with music created by living plants. Maybe you want to add an energy-clearing ritual to start the day grounded and connected—or include a custom crystal grid for intention and balance.
For couples who want to relive their day through movement and sound, I also offer GIF videos- short cinematic films that bring your memories to life in a whole new way. And when it comes to keepsakes, you’ll find handcrafted heirloom albums, memory boxes filled with natural treasures, and rustic wall art designed to help you carry the magic of your day into your home.
Whatever you’re envisioning—whether it’s a cozy bonfire under the stars, an adventure session the day after, or something completely unique, I’m here to help you dream it up and make it happen.
