1. MICHIGAN ELOPEMENTS:
ENVISION YOUR ADVENTURE MICHIGAN WEDDING
Are you reimagining your weddings and considering a smaller intimate ceremony in an unorthodox venue or an outdoors adventure elopement to celebrate your love story? The typical wedding day of 10+ hours can be stressful and the pressure to create an event for hundreds of guests in this added uncertainty can feel overwhelming. Instead, you can plan an intentional celebration with your one and only in a beautiful landscape in Michigan. You can say your vows privately, under the pines, overlooking the Lake Superior or while you are sitting in a canoe on the Manistee river. These intimate ceremonies are incredibly emotional and powerful.

Elopements focus on creating an experience, rather than rushing to take as many photos as possible and they deserve to be captured in a way that goes beyond posed photographs.
