Mike and Sara’s Gunflint Elopement

City: Grand Marais, MN Venue:

Mike and Sara skipped the over-the-top wedding fanfare and eloped in the middle of winter to Gunflint Lodge in Nothern, Minnesota. They went to middle school together but didn’t find love until many years later. For years the two were like ships passing in the night until that one day at a truck and tractor pull. Since that day they have been inseparable, and now it’s official. Congrats and may your marriage be full of many tractor pulls and surprise snow angels.

“One day at a truck and tractor pull, we ran into each other, both single, and have been inseparable ever since.”

I jokingly (but 100% serious) told Sara we were going to end the day with Snow Angels on Gunflint Lake and she looked at me like I was nuts. Three hours later without prompting both Mike and Sara unleashed their inner-child. #worthit

Geoff and Eling’s Gunflint Lodge Elopement

City: Grand Marais, MN Venue:

Geoff and Eling’s love story started with a few enduring text messages, followed by a three-hour phone conversation and a six-hour first date. By the second date, both of them realized that this was something special that neither one had experienced before. They became inseparable. Less than a year later Geoff proposed at Interstate Park in WI overlooking the St. Croix river. When the moment was right, Geoff got down on one knee and presented her with a little blue box tied with a white ribbon. He was so excited about the whole thing that he almost forgot to ask her the magic words. Once he asked for her hand in marriage, her answer was YES!

Eling wanted snow on their wedding day, and she got it, along with a bitter Canadian wind. Inside, the fireplace warmed our hands and hearts as Geoff and Eling exchanged vows. They almost eloped but instead choose to invite their closest family and friends to unplug and unwind in the great North Woods.
