Grand Teton National Park in Wyoming…. an unbelievably beautiful place to have a wedding. While thinking of their perfect wedding day, Cambria and Alex realized that eloping in a National Park would be a more unique and a totally “us” experience.

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!

We followed Kara & Jake from Vik up the ring road to so many amazing places; from a spontaneous stop at a roadside waterfall, to a small hike to an iconic gljúfur (canyon) and ending our adventure as the sunset over a glacier filled lagoon on another of Iceland’s amazing black beaches… it was unreal!

So if you’re up for an adventure, wanna meet some incredible people and take in some killer views, Iceland just might be the perfect place for your wedding!

There are limitless possibilities and an endless amount of beauty on our planet, let me help you narrow down the best place for you to elope!

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.

Your favorite outdoor activities can be an incredible way to celebrate on your wedding day! Well here is a list of a few awesome adventurous activities in the great outdoors to consider for your wedding day adventure!!   

Interstate State Park is one of the midwest’s best kept secrets. Tucked between two states, split by the Saint Croix River. This glacier sculpted landscape is some of the most dramatic in the area.

Anyway, when Kara and Jake said they wanted to stop and explore this area for the first stop of their engagement photo adventure, I was hella STOKED - daydreaming about how epic it would be! THEN, actually seeing these two, hand in hand, in front of this incredible former sea cliff, with millions of gallons of glacier fed water cascading down, the whole experience was pretty freaking unreal and beyond anything I could dream up.

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.

Kara & Jake have been dating since they met as freshmen in college and HOLY FREAKING HECK- they ended up getting engaged in ICELAND, the day before this shoot! I mean, Jake really nailed it with the timing, amirite?! Not only did they get to sip wine and do some natural bath/hot tub soaks, but they also had one hell of a two day engagement adventure with us to celebrate!!

We met them at the base of the cliffs at sunset by a big sea cave, another fun find we had no prior knowledge of! Then wandered around the cave walked to some cool rock formations, then headed up the trail to the top of the ridge for peak sunset.

Anna and Dan are two of the most adventurous and beautiful souls I have ever met. We actually photographed their wedding two years ago at a group camp here in Wisconsin. For their honeymoon they traveled around the world in 30 days – so when they heard we were flying to Iceland around their 2 year wedding anniversary we started planning an adventurous photoshoot to celebrate, in the land of fire and ice! I am beyond stoked our travel plans lined up so all of this could happen.

For their engagement photos, we wandered around the cliffs of the St. Croix River at one of the best local State Parks in Wisconsin! - They explored, played around & loved on each other so dang hard!
