Michigan Winter Elopement at the Ice Caves near Marquette, MI
If there’s one thing that I wish it was easier to be open-minded about – it would be winter elopements. And look, I know planning a Michigan winter elopement can be a risky business. With the sometimes chilly (freezing) temperatures and never quite knowing what that midwestern weather is going to look like it can be tricky. BUT, did you know that Michigan in the winter is one of the most magical places you could elope?! With the lakes freezing to make magical ice formations, beautiful snow-coated forests reminiscent of western woods, and tons and tons of snow – Michigan is beautiful no matter the season. Showcasing Michigan’s beauty is at the forefront of what I do, so I absolutely could not wait to plan this session to show how beautiful a Michigan winter elopement can be.
After years in the making, Lisa of Linnaea Floral and I finally brought this idea to life! We could not be more excited with the amazing team and how everything turned out. Scroll down to see this dreamy winter elopement!

[…] An ice caves elopement is cool as hell no matter where it is, but making a full adventure out of it and going to Grand Island would be BEYOND epic. You can take snowmobile tours out to the island to see some absolutely incredible ice structures! With a day like this, packing/wearing warm clothes would be essential, but the payoff for getting breathtaking and unique photos would be amazing. You could spend your morning getting ready together in your cozy cabin and sharing your first look in the beautiful snowy woods. Then head off to the Island to explore some of the most incredible ice caves in the world! If you want to see more about what an ice caves elopement could look like, check out my post here! […]
