So you want to elope in Minnesota, that’s fricken EPIC. As your trusty local Minnesota Elopement Photographer + Planner, I have seen many gorgeous locations and would love to help you pic the one that fits you best. But instead of giving you a list of pretty places, I want you to choose a Northern Minnesota location that matches the types of adventure you want to have.

North Shore Aventure Elopement

Are you the couple that loves to wake up in a cute airbnb and enjoy a cup of coffee at a local shop while sightseeing some epic spots? Think glamping, waterfalls, cliffs, hiking trails, and cute shops. Then the North Shore is the way to go. 

Some of my favorite spots include Black Beach in Silver Bay and the park in Tofte. There are so many hidden gems to see and based on how much privacy you want, we can definitely find something that fits you best.

Voyageurs National Park Adventure Elopement

Or maybe you enjoy long boat rides by Ash River, a friendly fishing competition on Kabetogama, cliff jumping on Namakan, and ending the day camping under the beautiful stars (or rent a cabin). Then I’d highly recommend Voyageurs National Park. Plus if you really want an experience, I have a pontoon boat and a husband available for chauffeuring. It would be a vibe! Or I can recommend some good rentals.

State Land / State Parks

If you aren’t boat people, but still want privacy, then I definitely pick one of the National Parks. There are waterfalls, rivers, lakes, trees, and so much more to explore. 

These are all questions I will ask you to custom design the elopement day to figure out where to elope in Northern Minnesota (Based on your kind of adventure). What I want you to remember is the best day isn’t about pretty views, although that can be a plus, it is about adventuring with your best friend. 

I want you two to be around your campfire 10, 15, 30 years from now and say, do you remember how epic our wedding day was? We woke up in a little cabin, made the best flippin pancakes, drank coffee on the porch, hiked to a waterfall, exchanged vows with nobody around, and celebrated with pizza and a campfire. Not, we stressed about picking centerpieces and worried about Bob being angry that he couldn’t bring his kids. 

With all that, think of me as your photographer, planning partner, location scout, timeline nerd, and professional “I’ve got you” person. I’ll help you create an elopement day (literally, I will plan it) that’s uniquely yours, so when the day arrives, you can focus less on logistics and more on making memories you’ll be telling around the campfire years from now.
