Fernside A-Frame on the Sturgeon River

Tucked away in the charming Michigan town of Indian River, nestled on the banks of the stunning Sturgeon River, sits a cozy little gem – the Fernside A-frame cabin. It’s a stunning place for a private elopement. It was here, amidst the calming whispers of the river and the rustic chic ambiance of the A-frame, that Hailey and James decided to weave their love story into an everlasting memory.

Hailey and James are Indiana natives with a shared passion for exploring different A-frames. They love to things their own way, and spending quality alone time together is always made a priority. So when they stumbled upon this beautiful Northern Michigan scene, they knew instantly – it was the perfect setting for their elopement.

Coffee, Snuggles, & Handwritten Vows

They began this special day with the warm, late summer sun seeping through the large glass windows of the cabin. Armed with coffee mugs and the serene view of the Sturgeon River, Hailey and James savored these precious moments of tranquility. The cabin, with its wood paneling and modern accents, offered them a cozy sanctuary where they could bask in the glow of their love.

As the hours ticked leisurely by, they put in writing personal vows to each other, promises of eternal love and unwavering support sketched onto paper. Their words echoed the true essence of their bond – raw, authentic, and beautiful.

Nature’s Embrace

Later, we strolled over to a nearby pathway that meandered along the river. Here, the first signs of autumn were beginning to paint the greenery with strokes of gold and crimson. Within this natural backdrop, they read their vows, their voices intertwining with the soft and gentle murmur of the river. It was an intimate ceremony, beautiful in its simplicity.

Returning to the cozy cabin, they celebrated their union with a toast of champagne and a shared slice of delicious cake. The cabin, with its blend of rustic charm and modern elegance, served as the perfect backdrop for their celebration.

The rest of the day was spent in joyous exploration, with laughter and shared glances filled with love. They danced, they explored, and they reveled in each other’s company against Northern Michigan’s breathtaking canvas of the Sturgeon River.

Hailey and James’ private elopement at Fernside wasn’t just an exchange of vows; it was a celebration of their journey together, a testament to their shared dreams, and a promise of countless adventures that lay ahead. In the tranquil seclusion of the cabin, they found a perfect corner of the world to declare their love, away from the noise and nestled within nature’s embrace.
