Sam & Dustin’s Marquette Beach & Mountain Elopement

Sam and Dustin had such a fun elopement day at the beach and climbing a mountain in the Upper Peninsula!

The day started with capturing Sam getting ready before meeting Dustin at the City Hall for their first look. Dustin’s exact words in reaction to seeing Sam in her dress for the first time were “shit yes” ⁠⁠
⁠⁠
After their ceremony at City Hall, they hiked out to a private beach that we had completely to ourselves and spent some time exploring the area. Then we went to a second hike for their vow exchange. We ended up having the majority of this hike to ourselves also, only seeing a few other people along the route, and there was no one else on the summit. Sam and Dustin’s beautiful vow exchange was completely private. After their vows, we hiked back down to the parking lot, and they set up a tailgate picnic in the parking lot as the sun went down. ⁠⁠
⁠⁠
These two had so much fun goofing around with each other all day, and I’m so happy I was able to capture the love they have for each other. Congratulations to you two!
