I love photographing elopements! The relaxed timeline of the day lends itself to a creative mind. Caitlin and Petered eloped in April at Scott Falls in Munising, Michigan and it was a beautiful, sunny day. Something about the spring weather making nature come alive is the perfect way to start a lifelong commitment. Northern Michigan is a lesser known gem for elopement locations. There are waterfalls galore, gorgeous rocky landscapes, and thick trees. This was my first time visiting Scott Falls and turns out it's right off the highway with no hike involved! It made for a perfect quick elopement spot.
