Hi, friend! I am so glad that you’re here. If we haven’t met yet, I’m Payton! I am a North Shore, Minnesota elopement photographer. I serve couples who crave an untraditional and unique, once-in-a-lifetime experience. Whether you’re envisioning an intimate wedding at Palisade Head or an adventurous elopement on the Superior Hiking Trail, I’m here to document the best chapter yet in your love story.
North Shore, Minnesota Elopement Photographer
If you’ve been following along on Instagram, you’ll know that I’ve been on this photography journey for a few years now — and I couldn’t be more grateful. Serving adventurous, joyful, down to earth, heart-centered couples is something that I don’t take lightly. I’m happiest immersed in nature, love exploring with my hubs (Kevin), and I’ve always got my hands full juggling little hands (and a couple beverages). Not to sound too cheesy, but the North Shore is the place that just calls me home. I’m happiest deep in the pines, breathing in the sweet smell of Lake Superior, curled up around a cozy bonfire. As much as I love all those things, though, I just really love telling love stories.
A North Shore elopement with Payton Rademacher Photography looks like a breath of fresh air. It looks like gaining an elopement planner, hiking buddy, and hype girl all in one. My soul is rooted in the North Shore, stretching from forest to the rocky cliffsides of the immaculate “freshwater ocean” of Lake Superior. I value authentic moments, artfully documented in a way that will keep bringing you back to your special day for a lifetime.
I created a whole guide with all kinds of info about this part of Minnesota for you, How to Elope in the North Shore | Fall Elopement Guide—highly recommend reading through it if you’re considering eloping here.
