It was a gorgeous, breezy day of sunshine and blue skies when we met Kelsey & Nate for their Warren Dunes State Park elopement. They booked a gorgeous VRBO to spend the weekend and get ready with family, so we started the day with details, getting ready together, and a first look in the stunning front yard. After the sweet first look we then knocked out family and group photos, before heading out as a group for the wedding ceremony and reception.

We arrived at Warren Dunes State Park in the late morning, and headed down the beach towards the ceremony spot with all their loved ones and sweet pups. Overlooking Lake Michigan, they had a gorgeous ceremony with laughter, tears, and beautiful vows exchanged, before sealing their marriage with a first kiss. After the ceremony they celebrated by popping champagne and sharing a toast with all their family and friends. After hanging out and chatting with everyone and their sweet dogs for a bit, we broke away from the group to get some couple photos while the rest of the guests headed out for lunch. These two were such a joy to photograph, and had so much fun together, skipping through the water, laughing together, and soaking up all the love. We had a swarm of seagulls photobomb several photos, and after chasing each other and running through the water, we ended their Warren Dunes State Park elopement with them running straight through the flock of birds on the shore, getting some incredible photos in the process.

Kelsey and & Nate, it was an absolute honor to be a part of your day and document such special memories! Jake and I had so much fun with your sweet families and friends, and it was truly such a beautiful day! Wishing you both all the love!

XOXO Corinne & Jake
