Michelle + Casey
Lakeside Wedding
August 18th, 2022
“From this day forward, you will not walk alone. My heart will be your shelter and my arms will be your home.”
Michelle + Casey’s Madeline Island Elopement
Michelle and Casey’s wedding day was intimate and quietly powerful. It unfolded at Big Bay State Park on Madeline Island, surrounded by the stillness of Lake Superior. Although the sky threatened rain, the weather held. The lake remained calm. Even the mosquitoes stayed away. In the soft humidity, the island revealed its full beauty, framing their elopement with color, light, and peace.
Their wedding film follows the journey from ferry ride to shoreline vows. It captures the moment they chose each other, away from crowds and expectation. Spending that day with them was a gift. What they share is a deep and abiding love.
Meet The Couple
Michelle and Casey met online through Match.com, where a simple wink led to their first date on August 18, 2011. From the beginning, their relationship grew through small, meaningful moments and handwritten notes. That same thoughtfulness carried into Casey’s proposal. A note left in the car asked if Michelle would be with him for a lifetime, followed by a ring and a question that brought happy tears. After everything they had been through, the moment felt quiet, sincere, and deeply real.
In everyday life, they enjoy slower rhythms together. Michelle works from home while continuing her studies, and Casey runs his family’s excavating and trucking business. They value peace, routine, and time spent side by side. For their wedding, they chose Big Bay State Park on Madeline Island after seeing photos of its natural beauty. With only the two of them present, their vision was simple. Be present. Take it all in. Looking ahead, they hope to return to Madeline Island years from now to celebrate where their marriage began.
