Kristen & Michael’s Upper Peninsula Hiking Elopement

Kristen & Michael had a beautiful hiking elopement in Michigan’s Upper Peninsula!


The day started off with crazy thunderstorms that cleared up just in time for a breakfast picnic overlooking Lake Superior. Kristen & Michael shared coffee, read letters from their families, and explored all over the park. They ended the day hiking up a mountain to exchange vows in the rain.⁠

Kristen & Michael were so wonderful to spend the day with, and I loved capturing this day that was representative of who they are as a couple. They are moving up to the UP soon, and they got married on UP Day, so these two are officially married and officially Yoopers!⁠

I’m so happy that Kristen & Michael chose me to capture this incredible day for them. Congratulations you two! ♥️
