LGBTQ+ Minnesota & Midwest Elopement Photographer
Cozy, Adventure-Filled LGBTQ+ Elopements in Minnesota, Wisconsin and Michigan
Where are my Midwest LGBTQ+ folks at!? Are you ready to elope in all of the underrated gorgeousness that is the Midwest!?
If you’re already “untraditional” because of who you love, might as well keep up with breaking tradition… right? A photographer from the lgbtq+ community here to support ALL love and ALL humans on your incredibly special elopement day- whatever it looks like!
-THE EASY DEFINITION… WHATEVER YOU WANT
-THE HARD DEFINITION… WHATEVER YOU WANT
.... Plus the fact that it's under 30 people
Gone are the days where elopements are something secret and shameful, and here are the days where elopements can be intimate and meaningful. How you spend this day is TOTALLY up to you- which is both exciting and a new frontier- I get it.
So what is an Elopement?
I’m on a mission to put the Midwest on the map for being a top elopement destination.. Especially for all my queer folks.
Here are just a few ideas of what your elopement could look like:
- Hiking somewhere beautiful with your person
- Picknicking at a beautiful spot
- A ceremony on a cliffside with just the two of you
- A ceremony with a forest backdrop with 10 guests
- Renting a super cute Airbnb with a few of your favorite people
- Ceremony in a hot air balloon anyone? Or a helicopter ride?
- Renting out your favorite space together such as skating rink, conservatory or room in your favorite restaurant
- ANYTHING YOU WANT!
And the best news yet…. I can help you plan ALL OF IT!
My trusty backpack and gear have seen me through quite a few adventures so I can help with everything from picking a location to planning the timeline of your day and helping you figure out permits! Plus… I am legally officiated in the state of Minnesota, so any paperwork you need signed, I got you.
"We can't thank Anna enough for making our elopement experience so special. From the moment we left Miami for the Twin Cities, she was with us every step of the way — checking in before our flight, keeping us updated through text, and making us feel like we weren't alone. That personal touch meant the world to us. We got such a cute welcome when we booked!
At the resort, Anna and her team were so sweet and captured the most incredible candid photos. I'm naturally pretty shy, but Anna made me feel completely comfortable, and somehow she helped me shine through the photos in a way I never expected. Looking at them now, I can't believe how awesome they are — and how confident they make me feel!
We got married in the snow, and it truly felt magical. Anna even brought us a beautiful flower bouquet, some string for a special shot, and treated us to hot tea to help us warm up. Everything about the experience felt intimate and genuine, and her photography captured that perfectly. Her shots are so cool and creative — we honestly couldn't have asked for a better person to help us put such a meaningful landmark on our elopement journey. Thank you, Anna, for everything!"

I’ve actually written an entire guide on how to plan your elopement that you get FOR FREE when you book with me. But here’s a sneak peak of some of the information you’ll get in my Complete Guide to Eloping in Minnesota.
- Decide a general are or vibes you're into ( i can make specific recommendations later)
- Decide the time of year you're interested in (but try to keep some flexibility on exact days or times)
- Contact me and tell me about you
- Receive your free elopement guide and we will get to planning
- Decide on your guests *under 30*
- Get your witnesses and license and necessary permits (I can help!)
- Lets get you hitched!!... and get epic photos of course ;)
It can be as simple as:
I wouldn’t sell you on something I didn’t believe in because I also plan on eloping myself. Elopements are:
Tons of fun and totally customizable
Intimate and centered on what matters to you
Less worry on who is there and judging you for your love
Why do I believe in elopements so much?
"My wife (!!!) and I had such a great time shooting our elopement with Anna. Both of us have a hard time feeling confident in photos and she made us extremely comfortable and was super knowledgeable on the best places to go.
We just got our gallery back today (took less than an week) and are over joyed at how they turned out. Neither of us ever imagined we’d have this many photos that we’d be proud to display and excited to look back on. Absolutely recommend!!!"

“Anna is an absolute gift! She’s so kind and made us feel so comfortable. She is a master of her craft and her love for the queer community comes through so strongly in her photography. Anna photographed our engagement pictures and I’m so excited to have her shoot our wedding too!💛”

“ Anna was SOOO respectful and made sure to take the time to get to know my partner and I for who we each are rather than assuming how we'd want to present. She was then able to pose us each well for the entirety of the session (which I was super nervous about bc I'm stiff as a BOARD) and make BEAUTIFUL pictures that looked so natural and magical and I truly cannot recommend her enough!”
