A Lake Michigan Elopement: COVID style

On Monday Jeremy texted me "Stefanie. I am in need of your help! Our wedding photographer just dropped out of our wedding. Can you possibly be our photographer this Saturday in St. Joe????"

Now, I don't know if I've ever told Jeremy this, but of all the gyms I've been a member at and personal trainers I've tried out, he is still by far my favorite. He left the gym I was locked into a few years ago and I just haven't been able to get back to him yet haha. Jeremy is one of those people who cares about people, and therefor, he's my kinda people. I already rearranged my schedule earlier this season to save another past client, so I knew I had to do it again for him. It took a couple of days to confirm (which was nerve wracking on both of our sides) but we pulled it off.

Jeremy and Jill picked out the exact spot they wanted to tie the knot, with the St. Joe lighthouse in the background, surrounded by their immediate families- including Jill's "first born" Mika (her pup, so you know she's my kinda people too) and their 15 mo old Renee (who was the most well behaved babe!)

I'm so thankful I was able to be there for Jill & Jeremy, and I am so happy for them! They didn't realize what they were getting when I agreed, I stayed late and stole them for all the intimate goodness, and they were down with anything I asked them to do!

I may or may not have stumbled over a kid's sand castle while walking backwards to get some of these...oops...

Enjoy way too many of my personal favorites, because I was just too stoked to have a beach wedding for some incredible people!
