Minnesota Elopement Ideas from an Elopement Photographer

North Shore | Grand Marais Elopement

Get swept away on the shores of Lake Superior for your Grand Marais Elopement.

Grand Marais is definitely one of my favorite places on the North Shore for an elopement. It’s vast view of the lake is marvelous. It’s rock formations, also known as, Artist Point along the harbor, and the quaintness of the town make this a remarkable place to elope.

Grand Marais connects to the Gunflint trail, which is easily a favored scenic road here in Minnesota. Gunflint trail connects us to parts of our Boundary Waters Canoe Area here in Minnesota, with many spots to stop and explore during your elopement along the roadside. Heck, let’s take a hike!
Hop back into town for a beer at Voyageur Brewing or head back down the highway to iconic overlooks of the lake. The adventure is all yours.
I’m just the third wheel.

If beer isn’t your style - grab yourself a good cup of joe at Java Moose followed by World’s Best Donuts.

Better yet, stay the week and learn how to make a canoe paddle, or turn a wooden bowl at North House Folk School to have something to commemorate your time spent on the North Shore during your new found adventure together as a union of one.

Whatever you do, consider it. It’s a good time. Once you decide, be sure to include me in on it, because I love any good excuse to head back up the shoreline. My favorite being for love.

Jennifer.
