Matt and Anne are simple and extremely into the outdoors, so naturally Lutsen struck their fancy immediately when they started wedding planning! And to be honest, the setting couldn’t have been more perfect for them. They tied their passion of the outdoors and nature with their love for being “up north” and brought it to family and friends which was a perfect way to celebrate! :) Their romantic wedding colors and fabulous details put a smile on guest’s faces as they watched the ceremony in AWE with the gorgeous Lake Superior as their backdrop! Honestly, it couldn’t have gotten any better (especially since I looooooove being up north so much; it was like taking a mini-vacay while “working”! :)
Don’t you just LOOOOOVE that seagull that is strategically flying right near them as they are on the rocks? If you know anything about the North Shore you know that there are a gagillion of seagulls flying around waiting to POOP on you at any time….it makes for tricky photos with a gorgeous bride in a wedding dress! :)
And of course we HAD to go up to Grand Marais to take some photos on Artist Point! :) Honestly, it is SOOOO gorgeous every direction you turn up there! :)
The coolest part about a wedding at Lutsen (or ONE of the umteen cool parts) is that everyone has to ride a 10 minute gondola trip up the Mountain to the Chalet/ceremony spot. No matter how afraid of heights you are this ride is amazing with unbelievable views of the area and water off in the distance! :)
The ceremony was simple and perfect! :)
Off on the mountain for a few more portraits and then back to the guests to eat, drink and be merry for the remainder of the night! :)
