The Upper Peninsula of Michigan is the magical place that I am blessed to call HOME, and I can barely imagine photographing engagements and weddings anywhere else!
Here are a few reasons why you should consider having your wedding in the Upper Peninsula!
Natural Scenery
Oh my goodness guys. This is my favorite.
The Upper Peninsula, or UP as we like to call it, has incredible views that also = incredible pictures!
The UP is home to some of the most stunning landscapes in the Midwest, from the majestic Pictured Rocks National Lakeshore along Lake Superior to the tranquil shores of Lake Michigan and Lake Huron. The region's waterfalls, forests, and rugged coastlines provide a spectacular backdrop for wedding photos and ceremonies. My camera and I love it so much!

Whether you're dreaming of a beachside ceremony, a rustic barn wedding, or saying your vows atop a cliff overlooking Lake Superior, the UP has a wide array of unique venues to suit your style. The area's natural beauty offers a special setting that can't be replicated elsewhere.
Charming Small Towns
Towns like Marquette, Munising, and Houghton have a quaint, small-town charm with friendly locals, unique shops, and cozy accommodations. These communities can add a warm and welcoming feel to your wedding festivities. Not only that, they are chock-full of history and architecture that add to your photos!
