Lisa & Travis' Intimate Summer Wedding on Lake Superior at Fresh Coast Cabins
Some love stories are simply meant to be. Lisa and Travis’ journey together spans years—a beautiful testament to healing, growth, and the kind of trust and grace that builds an unshakable foundation. While their story isn’t fully ours to tell, witnessing the love they share was nothing short of inspiring.
A Magical Welcome Under the Northern Lights
The night before their wedding, Lisa and Travis welcomed their closest family and friends to an intimate gathering at Fresh Coast Cabins, nestled on the rugged shores of Lake Superior near Copper Harbor, MI. Guests cozied up around the fire pit, sharing stories and laughter as the northern lights painted the sky in an awe-inspiring display—an unforgettable prelude to the celebration ahead.
A Wedding Day Filled with Love and Gratitude
Lisa and Travis began their day in separate cabins at Fresh Coast Cabins, surrounded by love and support. Lisa, completely at ease, enjoyed a peaceful morning with her carefully chosen bride team, while Travis—his heart overflowing with gratitude—took time to connect with each person he came across, radiating joy with every interaction.
Their wedding party? Their incredible grown children. Lisa’s best friend officiated the ceremony, eloquently weaving a story of the Universe’s divine timing and the legacy Lisa and Travis are creating together. As Lisa walked down the aisle, escorted by her son, Travis was overcome with emotion. The rhythmic waves of Lake Superior provided the perfect soundtrack as they exchanged vows beneath a simple yet stunning ceremony arch on the rocky shoreline.
A Moment to Breathe
Following the ceremony, Lisa and Travis spent time with their dearest loved ones, capturing heartfelt moments with their families before stealing away for a quiet interlude by the water. Just the two of them (and their trusty paparazzi, aka me, their wedding photographer), standing hand in hand, breathing in the crisp lake air, and soaking in the reality of their newlywed status—it was a moment of pure magic.
An Evening of Heartfelt Celebration
Each of Lisa and Travis’ children shared heartfelt speeches during dinner that left few dry eyes in the crowd. The emotion carried into their first dance—an intimate, love-filled moment that soon turned into a full-on celebration as their wedding party joined them on the lawn, turning it into the perfect dance floor. As the sun dipped below the horizon late in the evening, guests mingled by the firepits, enjoying cocktails and the warmth of togetherness. With a sky full of stars overhead and the fire crackling nearby, guests danced, laughed, and reveled in the joy of the night, celebrating a love story that continues to inspire.
The Perfect Beginning to Their Forever
Lisa and Travis’ wedding at Fresh Coast Cabins was nothing short of extraordinary—an intimate, heartfelt celebration of love, resilience, and the beauty of finding your person at exactly the right time. Surrounded by nature’s wonders and the people who matter most, they created a wedding day that reflected the very essence of their love story—timeless, profound, and deeply beautiful.
Cheers to Lisa and Travis, and to a lifetime of love, adventure, and northern lights dancing in the sky.
