If you’re dreaming of eloping in Utah, these are some of the best locations for you to stay! Imagine getting ready for your wedding day while listening to the river rushing by outside. Going on a hike to your ceremony location or paddle boarding straight from the front door of your Airbnb. Ending the day with a campfire or a soak in a hot tub. All of these properties have the potential for an epic elopement.

We have the same kind of stardust in our souls, read the welcome sign at Destinee and Michael’s magical Halloween wedding. The couple got married in Detroit, Michigan at the majestic Old St. Mary’s Catholic Church, one of the oldest Catholic churches in downtown Detroit.
What could be better than a secret elopement on the beach? Summertime is the perfect time to sneak away to the dunes for a lakeside elopement or adventure session! We met Esteban and Iris on the sandy hills overlooking Lake Michigan in the middle of July. They were the perfect couple to exemplify all that a Lake Michigan adventure elopement can really be. The beauty of an elopement is you can craft your day to be anything you would like.
Marris and Stephanie were referred to us by another photographer who was unable to shoot on their date, and we were suggested due to our similar style. We love our close-knit connection of Midwest photographers in the Fort Wayne, Indiana area especially, and we were so excited to get to know these two!
Hailing from different countries, time zones and cultures, wandering spirits, Hana (originating from New York) and Max (originating from Ecuador) ambled into one another’s lives and have since taken on the world together.
With how hard the wedding industry was struck by the Coronavirus, most photographers in Northern Indiana, just like photographers around the world, found themselves with less content to put out on their social platforms and websites since real weddings just weren’t happening as much this year. Our friend Hiedi at Photos By Hiedi saw a need for wedding industry creatives to get together to make something beautiful to re-inspire and re-energize everyone creatively again, so she put on an amazing styled shoot on the shores of Lake Michigan.

Grab your loved one and let’s dream up the most beautiful elopement experience you can think of, and then let’s make it happen and capture those memories to cherish for the rest of your life!
When planning your engagement session, I always encourage couples to select a location that has some type of meaning for them (even if they haven’t physically been there before). In this case, Alex and Anika chose a location where they had gone on dates throughout college. On the golden shores of Lake Michigan we met them for their end of summer engagement session.
