Elopements have a magic all their own. There’s something about stripping away all the noise of a big wedding day and focusing on what truly matters. Christie and Jordan chose to celebrate their love with a quiet and intentional elopement at Bay City State Park in Michigan. Their day was filled with warm laughter, soft light, and the kind of ease that comes from being with your person.

The beauty of Bay City State Park is that it feels like a hidden escape. With sandy beaches, open water, and endless views of the horizon, it created the perfect backdrop for a love story like theirs. From their first look to their sunset walk along the shoreline, every part of the day reflected exactly who they are together.

When you choose an elopement, your day becomes about the connection between you. It’s about looking into your partner’s eyes and realizing you’re stepping into forever together.

Elopements remind me why I fell in love with photography. There’s no pressure to perform, no strict timeline to follow. It’s about documenting the connection between two people in the most authentic way. Christie and Jordan’s day was proof that your wedding doesn’t have to be big to be meaningful.

Their love filled every frame of the day. The wind off the water, the soft light at golden hour, the quiet look they shared as the waves rolled in. It was simple. It was beautiful. It was theirs.
