North Shore Minnesota
Elopement Photographer
Maybe you're dreaming about wandering the North Shore together… exchanging vows with Lake Superior stretching endlessly behind you. Maybe it's just the two of you, or maybe your closest people are there to witness it.
You know you want a day that feels intentional. Somewhere that gives you the space to slow down, breathe deeply, and be fully present in the moment.
But knowing where to start when you’re doing things different from the “norm” can feel overwhelming…
So you want to elope along THE NORTH SHORE?
Planning something this personal can feel overwhelming.
That's exactly what I'm here for.
You’re choosing an intimate wedding because a big, traditional celebration started to feel like more pressure than joy. Too many options, expectations, and moving parts, and not enough space to actually be present with each other or the people who matter most to you.
You know an intimate wedding isn’t about cutting corners, rushing through vows, or doing things “small” just to keep it simple. It’s about choosing intention, creating space for real connection, and shaping a day around what feels meaningful instead of what’s expected.
As a North Shore Minnesota elopement photographer, I help couples create wedding days that feel exciting, personal, and intentional. Whether that means exchanging vows along Lake Superior, hiking to a quiet overlook, or celebrating with your closest people on Minnesota’s North Shore.
That’s why I help couples plan intimate weddings and North Shore elopements that allow you to slow down, stay present, and actually experience your day as it unfolds.

MYA & NICK
Brenna was absolutely amazing to work with! She made us feel so comfortable and captured the most beautiful photos! She went above and beyond to make our wedding day perfect and stress free! We couldn't recommend a better photographer to capture life's big moments!
Siennah & Martin
Brenna is a rare gem — immensely talented and genuinely kindhearted. She makes you feel completely at ease and captures moments with such authenticity and heart. Every photo tells a story, and you can truly feel the love and care she puts into her work. Working with her was an absolute gift.
Jessie & Kody
Brenna did an amazing job! She made our engagement session feel very natural; like it was just the two of us. Brenna was also very quick at getting pictures back to us.
This is what it looks like when excitement meets intention... thoughtful planning, meaningful moments, and a seamless experience from start to finish.
HERE'S HOW IT ALL COMES TOGETHER:
Start by telling me what you’re dreaming up: big ideas, half-formed thoughts, or something in between. I’ll be in touch soon and we’ll take the next step together.
01. INQUIRE
We’ll hop on a call to talk through your vision, priorities, and what you want your day to feel like. We’ll talk through what matters most to you, the kind of experience you want, and how your day could unfold in a way that feels natural and true to you.
02. BOOK A CALL
With your date officially set, the pressure lifts. I’ll start guiding you through locations, timelines, and planning details so you feel supported from here on out.
03. SECURE YOUR DATE
As your day takes shape, I’ll help you think through timing, light, location, and flow keeping things simple, intentional, and never overwhelming.
04. PLANNING
I'll guide when it's helpful and fade into the background when it's not, documenting your real moments, quiet pauses, and the in-between as it happens.
05. THE BIG DAY
You won't be left waiting! A few meaningful moments will be shared in a sneak peek within 48 hours, and the full story delivered within 6-8 weeks.
06. GALLERY DELIVERY
BACK
Final galleries are delivered within 6-8 weeks, depending on the season. I always send a few sneak peek images within 48 hours so you have something to celebrate while the rest are being prepared with care and intention behind the scenes.
01
When will we receive our photos?
BACK
Yes, I love photographing in new places! I’m based in Minnesota, but I’ll be traveling around a little bit in 2026. If you’re planning something a little off the beaten path, check out the destination pricing on my pricing page!
02
Do you travel?
BACK
Absolutely. Once your gallery is ready, you’ll have access to a curated print shop where you can order beautiful, high quality prints.
03
Do you offer albums or prints?
BACK
For weddings and elopements, I recommend reaching out 6 to 12 months in advance, especially for planning purposes, but we can certainly get everything together on a month timeline, too.
04
How far in advance should we book?
BACK
Start by filling out the contact form and sharing what you’re dreaming up. We’ll find a time to chat through your vision and details, and the next steps will follow!
