Anna and Alex, both Marquette locals, knew they wanted their wedding to be a meaningful and intimate celebration in the place they call home. Their Michigan intimate wedding was filled with personal touches, emotional moments, and the breathtaking Upper Peninsula.
For their ceremony, Anna and Alex chose Carp River Garden, a hidden gem outside of Marquette perfect for an intimate wedding. Before walking down the aisle, Anna shared a special first look with her dad while her mom watched from the background—an emotional moment that brought everyone to tears.
Though the forecast called for rain, luck was on their side, and the skies held off just long enough for their beautiful ceremony. Anna’s dad officiated the wedding, making their vows even more personal. When Alex saw Anna for the first time as she walked down the aisle, it was a moment filled with love and anticipation.
One of the most unique details of their Michigan intimate wedding was their time capsule tradition. Anna and Alex wrote heartfelt letters to each other to open on their five-year anniversary. As they sealed the box together, Anna’s mom played the accordion, adding a special touch to the moment. These little details are what make intimate weddings so unforgettable.
After the ceremony, we explored the lush gardens for portraits before heading to one of Marquette’s most iconic landmarks—the Old Ore Dock. The mix of industrial textures and waterfront views made for stunning wedding portraits.
Anna and Alex hosted a heartfelt reception at The Landmark Inn, a historic hotel in downtown Marquette known for its elegant atmosphere. They enjoyed an intimate dinner with their closest friends and family, shared their first dance, cut their wedding cake, and spent quality time with the people they love most.
As the evening came to a close, we made one last stop—Black Rocks. The sun tucked behind the clouds, giving us a moody, romantic backdrop for their final portraits of the day.
One of the best things about having a Michigan intimate wedding is the ability to create a day that’s completely personal and meaningful. With fewer distractions and a focus on intentional moments, couples like Anna and Alex get to truly soak in every part of their wedding day.
