BJ and Amanda Eloped

City: Duluth, MN Venue:

“We were playing pool together one night after BJ’s pool leagues and talking about our future. I looked away for a second, looked back and BJ was on one knee and started this amazing speech about how he feels about me and us as a couple. After a few tears and “Really?! Are you sure?” came out of my mouth (probably not the response he was looking for), I said yes. It was perfect. It was just the two of us living our normal lives, and it was a private moment that we have to look back on and smile about. Neither of us was looking for a serious relationship, but we found that our “weirds” match each other and the rest is history.”

Jessica and Steven’s Cotton Mansion Elopement

City: Duluth, MN Venue:

Steven and Jessica decided to skip the frills of a traditional wedding and opt instead for an intimate elopement at the Cotton Mansion in Duluth, MN. Rather than a full wedding party, they had only a maid of honor and a best man, and the ceremony was officiated by the owner of the mansion himself, Ken. This no-hassle elopement was a great option for Steven and Jessica, as well as anyone wanting a wedding day focused on what matters most.
