Rachel & Austin drove up all the way from Alabama to get married in Michigan’s Upper Peninsula among the pine trees and waterfalls!
They started their day getting ready at their cabin with their families, and then heading to the beach for a first look. Rachel & Austin wrote each other handwritten letters and exchanged them before their wedding ceremony.
They had their ceremony in the woods with their parents as their only guests. After the ceremony, Rachel & Austin spent time walking on the beach, skipping rocks, and exploring the Upper Peninsula coastline. Then they met back up with their families for dinner and cake.
After dinner, Rachel & Austin popped champagne on the beach – just as the rain started to pour! They spent some time walking in the water and running along the beach in the rain.
The morning after their elopement, we met back up and hiked to some beautiful waterfalls for a day-after photo session!
Rachel & Austin were so much fun to spend the day with! The weather was unpredictable all day, but they fully embraced it and went with the flow. I’m so happy we were able to capture their stunning elopement day. Congratulations Rachel & Austin! ❤️
