Holly and Dave’s Wedding

City: Lutsen, MN Venue:

It was a Modern Northwoods Party COVID style. There was never any doubt the day would come even if the plan was to change the plan every other day. Whatever the challenge, Holly and Dave made it happen and safely celebrated with their family and friends at Lutsen Resort.

“Thirty years of hoping, wondering, peering out over the vast sea of people. Thinking, who? When?

It was worth every year. I will never forget the day I met you, what we wore, where we were, the way I felt that night. I will never forget how you made me feel— whole. You filled every doubt, every concern; you filled my heart with love, with confidence, and courage.” – Dave

“Unlike my favorite pieces of literature, where the entire novel builds tension based on the question of whether the love interests will finally be together, there was never any doubt about whether we’d spend our lives together.” -Holly

Jim and Bela North Shore Wedding in the Clouds

City: Lutsen, MN Venue:

The fall colors are peaking early at Mystery Overlook on Moose Mountain. Jim and Bela wanted to wed at one of their favorite places on the North Shore, and Lutsen did not disappoint. The low clouds and fog obscured the view but added an enchanting touch to an already magical moment. It’s always a privilege to shoot elopements knowing you’re one of the few people able to witness the union. Congrats to Jim and Bela.

Rachel and Ryan’s Lutsen Resort Wedding

City: Lutsen, MN Venue:

For their wedding day, Rachel and Ryan had a destination wedding along the North Shore to Lutsen Resort; a beautiful haven tucked away into a private cove on Lake Superior. The day was full of smiles, laughter, love, dogs, and plenty of everyone’s favorite cheesy Disney quotes. Everyone at the wedding could see that these two share a love that stretches to infinity… and beyond.

Thank you for sharing your incredible day with me, and it ‘s been an honor to be your wedding photographer!

John and Anna’s Lutsen Wedding

City: Lutsen, MN Venue:

John and Anna met for the first time at a Bible camp. That summer, they formed a secret camp romance, where they would sneak away to “study the bible.” Life took them their separate ways for awhile, but eventually, they reunited and made it official. Their beautiful wedding ceremony took place at the Summit Chalet in Lutsen, MN, on a blustery, chilly day. Despite the severe weather predictions, the skies cleared and the sun came out just in time for the ceremony, which John’s brother officiated. It was a beautiful day to celebrate these two lovebirds. Congratulations and thanks for having me there!

Jeff and Caitie’s Lutsen Engagement

City: Lutsen, MN Venue:

Winter engagement photography on the North Shore of Lake Superior at Lutsen Mountain, MN.

The bitter north winds whipped off Lake Superior and straight to the top of Lutsen Mountain leaving only Caitie and Jeff to keep each other warm. The views and snow covered trees made engagement photos all the more spectacular and made us especially grateful for the blazing fire at Lutsen Resort. Congrats to Caitie and Jeff and WARM wishes for your wedding.
