Yana Benjamin | Intimate Weddings + Adventure Elopements

As an expert in Michigan elopements and small weddings I help couples who don’t want a big wedding production plan a meaningful, artfully documented day, with guidance on locations, timelines, and logistics so you don’t have to figure it out alone. I value: Privacy over performance Meaning over tradition Nature over spectacle Flexibility over perfection In the past decade, I have been working through photography to create an inclusive brand that elevates diversity, cherishes unorthodox styles and values experiences over things. Welcome, you've found your place. Please head over to my photography website.

As a Michigan elopement photographer: I’m good with nervous people, I handle awkward moments so you don’t have to, I stay calm when plans change and I know when to step in and when to disappear. Your wedding day should feel lived-in, not documented at the expense of experiencing it. What this really means for you is that you don’t have to: Perform Know what you’re doing Have everything figured out Or be “good” at being photographed You just get to show up as you are and trust that I’ve got the rest.
