Minnesota adventure elopement photographer
You want a Minnesota elopement that is intimate, meaningful, and truly YOURS.
This day is all about the two of you. No big crowds, no stress, just love and adventure. You want to focus on what really matters to you. From saying "I do" at sunset on the cliffs of the North Shore to exchanging vows by the waves of Lake Superior.
No pressure. No rules. But the idea of planning your elopement is daunting...even if it's just the two of you.
With so many decisions to make, it can feel like a lot is riding on your shoulders.
Planning your elopement doesn't have to be hard...

I’m here to help you envision, plan, and create a day that’s intentional, adventurous, and uniquely yours. I’ll guide you, cheer you on, so you can slow down, soak it all in, and be fully present.
With me, you’ll get more than stunning photos, you’ll get the ease of your elopement being planned from start to finish and an experience that you remember for the rest of your lives.

I recommend starting the planning process about 6–12 months in advance to give us time to secure permits (if needed), finalize your dream location, and create a relaxed, meaningful timeline. That said, if you're planning something more spontaneous, I'm always happy to accommodate!
