Leland Michigan Elopement | Andreya + Tyler

Andreya and Tyler planned a ceremony under the pines at Good Harbor Bay trail right off of W Lake Michigan Road. This lesser known spot right near the Good Harbor Bay trailhead offers easy beach access and a beautiful pine forest, the perfect location for Andreya and Tyler’s intimate first look. 

We met mid-day for their first look on this hot day in August and retreated into the shade of the tall pines. I had so much fun capturing their moment as well as some couples photos and individual shots.

Family and friends gathered for the ceremony near the Good Harbor Bay Trailhead. The elevation was pretty flat so its easy for people of all ages. It was also nice for guests to stay out of the heat and in the shade. We didn’t have to hike far for some fun family photos on the beach. 

After Andreya and Tyler’s elopement, we met at Fishtown in downtown Leland. This active fishing port on Lake Michigan offers so many great backdrops. We walked along the docks, near the fishing shanties and old fishing nets, and into town along the Leland River. 

To end the night, I captured some photos of family and friends behind the Riverside Inn and the table decor for Andreya and Tyler’s reception dinner. Thanks Andreya and Tyler for choosing me to capture your special day. I had so much fun adventuring with you and getting to know your family and friends.
