Lake Michigan Beach Elopement

This intimate beach elopement was so sweet!

Maryjuri and Carlos inquired with me wanting memorable photos so they could look back on them. They wanted candid and genuine laughter. I KNEW we would work so perfect together.

Michigan’s lakes are stunning. Most of them has sand dunes, tall beach grass and dune trees. In some ways, Michigan beaches are better then Florida… not a shark girl;)

As a Michigan elopement photographer, I always push for your wedding day to be exactly what YOU want. For photos, I love allowing my couples to be themselves.

Before getting to the destination, Maryjuri and Carlos eloped at the courthouse. We made our way to the dunes and the two held vows. There may have been a few tears on my end…

After, I captured their joyful, tender and sweet personalities. It was a privilege to tag along!
