Lake Superior Elopement

CHRIS AND TYLA’S LAKE SUPERIOR ELOPEMENT

Chris and Tyla’s Lake Superior Elopement was nothing short of perfect (even with a little mud and rain involved!) When Chris and Tyla reached out to me in May about eloping on the north shore, they mentioned that they want their day to be intentional and intimate. They wanted to invite their closest friends and family, but they also wanted to have space for themselves.. Where they can truly enjoy each other and their day too. And that’s EXACTLY what they did!!

THEIR LAKE SUPERIOR ELOPEMENT STORY

They started their day with getting ready together in an Airbnb they had rented in Two Harbors, and shared it with their friends!! Tyla made a delicious breakfast spread for everyone, and took it slow. I mean, there’s no need to rush, am I right?! That’s the beauty of eloping!

Once Tyla and Chris were all ready to go, we drove to a private location up on the North Shore. They were READY to exchange their private vows. I absolutely love that they planned their elopement with such intention, to exchange their heartfelt, personal vows privately before their big ceremony. They didn’t have to worry about pouring out their hearts in front of an audience — it was truly just them, the sound of the waterfall, and me (way off in the distance) And the muddy terrain just added a little extra ✨ spice ✨

After private vows and some adventuring, we headed to Black Beach for their ceremony with loved ones. Then ended the day cliffside at Palisade Head with a private cake cutting (raspberry champagne, made by Tyla herself!)

NOW IS THAT NOT ONE HELL OF AN ELOPEMENT DAY UP ON LAKE SUPERIOR?!?

Chris and Tyla,

Thank you both, so much, from the bottom of my heart for trusting me with your day, especially when it came to finding you a perfectly private location for your private vow exchange. It’s been such an honor to be a part of this journey, and to document the art of your love on your big day. CHEERS TO YOU GUYS!!
