Why eloping on the North Shore of Lake Superior is the best.

The North Shore starting at Duluth Minnesota is one of the Midwest’s best kept secrets and all you need to do it google it to see why. Tall trees, vast views of Lake Superior, waterfalls, and 300 ft cliffs are just a few of the landscapes that make The North Shore an incredible place to visit.

Lizzie + Eastan both went to school in Duluth and this town on a hill will forever be one of their favorite places. When it came time to choose a location to get married, Duluth was a no brainer.

Everyone’s love is unique and expressed differently. The beauty of choosing an elopement rather than a traditional wedding is that you get to create a day that speaks most to you. These two chose to embrace a day that was filled with all of the things they love most: family, their faith, their favorite local park, and pizza.

 

Adventure Hike in Lester Park

Lester Park is one of Lizzie + Eastan’s favorite places to visit when they lived in Duluth. The multiple bridges and cascading waterfalls are gorgeous and there are several trails to hike along to see the different bridges. After our hike we went down to Lake Superior where a thick fog had come in. You never know what the weather is going to be like and it can change quickly. The fog made the day absolutely dreamy and Lizzie + Eastan loved it.

They ended the day with a dinner on a rooftop with live music, pizza, and their families.

Meet Jessie

Photography didn’t start as a hobby for me. It’s just always been there. I was the kid flipping through photo albums, getting stuck on certain images longer than anyone else. Not because they were perfect but because they felt like something. Real. Honest. Like you could step into them and understand the moment without anyone explaining it.

That’s still what I’m chasing.

My work has never been about perfect poses or overly curated moments. It’s about connection. The kind you can’t fake. The kind that shows up in the in-between. How someone reaches for you, How you exhale when you feel safe, how a moment lands without anyone trying too hard.

When I photograph a wedding, I’m not there to control the day. I’m there to see it. To pay attention to what’s actually happening and preserve it in a way that feels like you. Less performance. More presence.

Because the photos that matter aren’t the ones that look perfect. They’re the ones that feel like you were really there. And honestly, that’s how I live too.

I’m either hosting people I love, finding new places to wander through, or chasing my kids around. But the best moments? They’re usually the simplest ones. At home. Comfortable. Connected.

That’s what I notice.
That’s what I care about.
And that’s what I photograph.
