Olympic National Park Elopement | CJ + Teylor

CJ and Teylor had the sweetest Olympic National Park elopement this Summer. It was just them, us, their little girl and two friends who served as witnesses. They knew from the beginning they wanted to avoid the stress and chaos of a big traditional wedding so an elopement at a beautiful destination was an easy...

Small Destination Wedding at Split Rock Lighthouse

This small destination wedding at Split Rock Lighthouse was 2 of my favorite hours spent so far this summer! Sara and Jake road-tripped from their home in Indiana, along with their immediate family to celebrate their love and commitment. When I spoke with Sara on the phone, I knew as soon as she asked about...

Black Hills Elopement | Sylvan Lake, SD

Molly and Brandon had their eyes set on a Black Hills Elopement long before they were even engaged. The Black Hills holds a special place in their hearts.

Minnesota Micro-Wedding | Jay Cooke State Park & Juliane James Place

Bethany and Ryan decided an adventurous Micro Wedding in northern Minnesota was the perfect fit for them. They both love Jay Cooke State Park so they found an adorable cabin nearby, Juliane James Place. It is tucked away in the woods in the countryside of Finlayson and suitable to host micro-weddings. I would love to...

Winter Cabin Elopement on a Lake in St. Croix Falls, Wisconsin

Casi and Nathan decided a simple winter elopement at a small cabin on a lake in St. Croix Falls, Wisconsin was the perfect fit for them. They were joined only by their adorable pups, and us lucky few vendors from the Elope West team. It was a very brisk January day, but luckily their enduring love, warm...

Small Outdoorsy Wedding | Little Falls, MN

Callie and Nathan are old souls with simple values so they chose to have a small outdoorsy wedding close to home in Little Falls, Minnesota.

North Shore MN Elopement | Havens Northwoods

Alexis and Andrew’s Mn North Shore elopement started off at the most adorable tiny home tucked away in the woods along the hillside of Lake Superior… hence the name Havens Northwoods Hillside Tiny Home!

Micro Wedding at Linden Hill Historic Estate | Little Falls MN

I only spent a couple hours with Kate and John at their intimate micro-wedding on the Linden Hill Historic Estate this Summer, but I left feeling like we were forever friends. They, along with their few selected friends and family members, gathered on the Historic Estate grounds in Little Falls, Minnesota on July 13, 2024....

Morning Elopement at Catalyst by Naturelink | Nisswa MN

Cray and Heather hosted the sweetest morning elopement at Catalyst by Naturelink in Nisswa, Minnesota. It was intentional, intimate and even eco-friendly. Heather put so much love, kindness and thought into every choice she made. If you want to ditch the $40,000-$80,000 traditional wedding that, according to New York Times, on average emits 57,152 kilograms of CO2, then check out...

North Shore Minnesota Elopement at Black Beach

Trent and Nikki’s North Shore Elopement at Black Beach in Minnesota is one of the prettiest weddings I had the privilege of photographing. They chose to elope at the iconic black sand Beach in Silver Bay, and it was certainly showing off for us. Their family stood by their side as they exchanged vows on...
