This park is truly underrated for small weddings and elopements in my opinion. It’s proximity to Duluth, MN makes it a great option for couples wanting to get married in an old glacial carved landscape full of water features, woods with endless craggy rocks and pebble beaches.

Hosting their Elopement wedding in Minnesota along North Shore was a no-brainer for Chelsey and Garrett. Incorporating their love of travel and exploring new parks with their dog, the mix of awe-inspiring views and adventure were perfect for their wedding day!

Kate and Jason’s wedding day at the Bluefin Bay Cove in Tofte, MN was beyond amazing. The resort is nestled right on the shoreline of the lake with incredible views all around.

Every part of their day was intentional; from the location of the ceremony overlooking Lake Superior, to the local vendors all the way down to their Red Wing boots - every detail was inspired by their love for Minnesota! Gripped with anticipation as we hiked down the path towards the pebble beach, we were completely taken back by the view! This has to be the best beach in Lutsen, the absolute perfect place to celebrate their union!

As first light breeched the horizon, illuminating the sea cliffs in the distance, Stacia & Josh said their vows to each other. It was such an intentional and intimate moment to witness. Two people promising to love and experience this adventure called life together forever. It was magical y’all!

Queenie and Roger knew they wanted something steeped in nature, with big ol’ cliffs and all the waves crashing on the rocks sounds. My mind immediately went to Lake Superior. A wedding on the North Shores of Minnesota is all of those things and more, depending on where you look. You can find so much solitude and beautiful views wrapped up into one place.

So we started our little adventure in Duluth (the town they first met) then headed up the North Shore to wander around some epic cliffs (part 1) and finally the Black Beach for some misty sunset feels.

Palisade Head is a shallow headland of pink Rhyolite cliffs along the North Shore in Beaver Bay, MN. It is an epic section of Tettegouche State Park, were you can really grab some insane views of Lake Superior along with the dense forest and slabs of giant rocks surrounding it.

Are you planning your small wedding or elopement and want somewhere to explore on your wedding day, or maybe you just want some killer views without traveling out of state?! Duluth is totally worth a look!!! It’s where adventure meets the city.

Brooklyn & Matthew recently moved to Minnesota. Their love of exploring new State Parks and sense of adventure connected us. They hadn’t spent a ton of time on Lake Superior yet, but they knew they loved evergreens, rocks & the views of the lake up by Two Harbors, MN. So we planned a little road trip to Gooseberry Falls State Park for their anniversary photos!

The engagement photo adventure started at the top of Tettegouche State Park in Minnesota over looking Lake Superior. The clouds were heavy with all the North Shore moodiness we could ask for. From there we continued the journey by hiking down to High Falls, where these lovers got all kinds of cuddly on the rocky beach!

These two got married in Duluth, MN with their closest people a few weeks prior. They decided to do more photos of just the two of them along Lake Superior at sunset. Love these two, I’m so dang happy for them!

Eloping at Tettegouche State Park along Lake Superior in the winter is such an incredible experience.

Connor & Nichole opted to elope & celebrate their marriage in historic downtown Duluth, Minnesota!

Being big fans of the rugged and woodsy Lake Superior shoreline, hiking around Silver Bay, MN was the obvious choice for their engagement photos!

Imagine hiking through a gorge, wearing your wedding gear, hand in hand with your love... to a waterfall where you promise yourselves to each other in the rawness of nature. Simply, two people in love, devoting their lives to each other!

This hidden gem at the end of Gooseberry Falls park is one of my favorite spots to shoot in Two Harbors.

Zack & Jessica got engaged on the cliffy beaches of Northern Minnesota's Lake Superior shoreline. She had no idea Zack had called me the day before their adventurous couple shoot to ask me if he could surprise her with a proposal near sunset on the lake!!!
