Devils Lake Baraboo, Wisconsin Elopement

This Baraboo, Wisconsin Devils Lake Elopement was absolutely BREATHTAKING. I’m so obsessed!! These two are the sweetest, most down to earth, and down to try anything at least once. It was such a fun time being able to capture Christie and Ryan’s love for each other, while also showing them some awesome spots in the Park. They’re originally from out of state so they haven’t been to Devil’s lake yet so it was so cool to show them some spots!

Best time to elope at Devils Lake State Park- Baraboo, Wisconsin

If you want to avoid crowds, you’ll want to avoid eloping in the summer. Opt for the fall months! Mid October is great for the gorgeous fall colors and avoiding crowds. I always recommend eloping at sunrise or early morning and during the week due to Devil’s Lake being a very popular park it can still get busy in the fall. If you don’t mind the cold, Devil’s Lake can still look very pretty in the winter. The Wisconsin cold winter elopements are definitely not for the weak though!
