How to Elope in Anchorage, AK

How to Elope in Anchorage: Your Ultimate Guide

Anchorage, Alaska - okay, listen, the city itself might not be *all that* BUT the nature? the food? the wildlife? the viewwwwws? the accessibility? there’s so many options. Also, I’m going to be real here - I will be using the term “Anchorage” loosely. Like I said the city is… what it is. There are cute pockets! But the Anchorage Bowl in general (surrounding areas)?! Brimming with options. Let’s chat about it!!

Why Choose Anchorage for Your Elopement?

On the practical side of things - it’s convenient! Anchorage is the main airport that you can fly into. While it isn’t a huge city compared to cities in the lower 48 , it IS the biggest city in Alaska so there’s a plethora of options for accommodations, car rentals, etc. around the airport.

On the vibes side of things, you have a lot of variety in Anchorage to choose from! Variety in dining options, and also different landscapes. Obviously mountains are the common denominator, but locations can range from alpine forest to rocky beaches by the oceans.

Best Time to Elope in Anchorage

Summer (June–August): This is when you’re going to get your “warmest” weather. You’re also going to get the midnight sun (it’s light till midnight, literally), lots of wildlife, and also… a LOT of tourists. This can be a plus because there are so many adventures and stays available for tourist season! It can also be a downside because well, there’s a lot more people, RV traffic, and you have to book things ahead of time to snag a spot.

Fall (September–October): Realistically, we only get fall colors for like, two weeks, usually in September. The birch leaves turn yellow and the mountainsides turn red and it’s stunning!! And then a big wind always blows through. BUT. It’s super pretty until then!! I love fall elopements. The temperatures are cooler, the air is crisp, you can go blueberry picking, and there are generally less people as tourist season slows down!

Winter (November–March): Underrated, if you ask me. You DO have to either be okay with the cold or dress for it, but Alaska is STUNNING in the winter. On clear days, the sunsets are something else. Snow covered pine trees, epic white peaks, and cozy vibes? Sign me up!!

Spring (April–May): Don’t come in April. I AM KIDDING but April and early May are “breakup season” - lots of brown trees, melting snow and mud, and overall not a super inspiring aesthetic. But if April is your time, we can always go to higher altitudes where there will still be snow or south where there is less snow in general!

Best Anchorage Elopement Locations

Flattop Mountain (Glen Alps) - Sweeping views of Anchorage on a clear day, pine trees and mountainscapes for days.

Kincaid Park - Home of the only truly sandy “beaches” in the area! You can take the trail to the sand dunes, or a different beach to get closer to the ocean. Moose are pretty common in this park too if you have your heart set on seeing wildlife!

Beluga Point (Turnagain Arm) - This location is beautiful year round. You should go see it even if you don’t elope there - it’s only 20 minutes outside anchorage. Sunsets are stunning - it can get windy, but you also might see beluga whales.

Eklutna Lake - Forty-five minutes north of Anchorage! You drive a windy road off the highway to an absolutely epic view of a the mountains towering over a glacial lake.

Alaska Botanical Garden - Looking for something a little more fairy garden vibes? Alaska Botanical Garden! Super accessible and obviously, green and planty!

Downtown - If you’re set on the courthouse city elopement vibe, there are cute streets in Anchorage and a couple rooftop bars we could really do some fun stuff with.

Marriage License & Legal Requirements

Alaska marriage licenses are available at Anchorage courthouse or online; there’s o residency requirement. There’s a three-day waiting period after application (can be waived by request). The application process is pretty simple: you need your ID and to pay the $60 fee.

My recommendation would be to hire an officiant to take care of the rest of the paperwork for you for after the fact!

Recommended Vendors in Anchorage

I can’t go spilling ALL my secrets - but I do have an amazing network of Alaskan vendors that literally live to make your elopement dreams come true. Florists, officiants, hair and makeup artists, you name it! I’ll point you in the right direction.

Where to Stay in Anchorage

  • Hotel Captain Cook: If you’re a hotel kind of couple, this is the place! You’ll get a luxury downtown experience.

  • Alyeska Resort (Girdwood) Okay this is technically not in anchorage, but there’s scenic mountain views, it’s a ski resort if you’re into that and here in winter, and also - they have the Nordic Spa, and it would be wrong of me not to tell you about the Nordic Spa.

  • Boutique Airbnbs or cabins - There are plenty of unique and aesthetic stays in the Anchorage Bowl! For example - my favorite Seward Airbnb owners opened some stays in Anchorage and the vibe does NOT disappoint: Salted Roots Anchorage

Fun Things to Do on Your Anchorage Elopement Day

I could honestly talk forever about all the options so I’m just going to rapid fire to get you inspired! You could:

Take a helicopter tour, land on a glacier, or near an epic remote waterfall! Go dog sledding (in the winter)! You could do a brewery tour (we have so many). You can take a number or epic or short and sweet but equally beautiful hikes in the area. You can view wildlife in the literal wild or at the wildlife center. You can bike the Tony Knowles Coastal trail. You can go to dinner (you SHOULD go to dinner) - there’s Glacier Brewhouse, South Restaurant, the Crow’s Nest, Simon and Seaforts - and that’s just scratching the surface (some of these restaurants have rooms you can rent for private parties as well, perfect for intimate elopements!).

Tips for a Smooth Anchorage Elopement

Some hot tips from a local Alaskan (me, lol):

You’re going to want to bring/acquire and dress in layers. Alaska is going to do what she does! The weather is unpredictable and can be extreme - rain, snow, wind, sun? all on the table. It’ll be beautiful no matter what, but you’re going to want to be comfortable. Keep that in mind for footwear too - the best choice will depend on your activity plans and location.

I HIGHLY recommend planning a weekday elopement, especially if you’re planning for summer! You’re going to have a lot more options for accomodations/vendors etc. and just less crowds at popular spots in general. *summer really is so crazy - we live hard and fast and we love it but it fills up QUICKLY so I always recommend booking your vendors as far in advance as possible.

And remember what I said earlier about Alaska doing what she does? Depending on the weather, you’re going to have to be flexible, trust your vendors, and embrace the adventure. I promise you’ll have the best time ever if you do.

5 Stunning Portrait Photography Locations in Anchorage, Alaska

Mountains, forest, or ocean? in Alaska, sometimes you can have it all! If you’re looking for a beautiful location for photos in Alaska near Anchorage, take it from a local Alaska photographer - you can’t go wrong.

Read on for some suggestions!

mountains of the glen alps at sunset in alaska

welcome

to my favorite place in the world, my home state, the beautiful wilderness of Alaska. there are SO many beautiful places in Alaska, you don’t have to go far to find a beautiful photo spot (I mean, you can literally see the mountains from the target parking lot). as a seasoned alaska photographer, I wanted to share a quick round up of some of my go to places for photography sessions in the (general) Anchorage area and why I love them!

couple holding hands in front of the pine trees in alaska

Quick Tips for Picking a Portrait Location

I’m a big fan of hiking out for adventures and unique vistas, but I chose these spots because they’re easily accessible and cover all the versions of nature and views you can experience Alaska! basically, they’re perfect backdrops for photo sessions.

obviously, picking the best location for your session depends on a few factors - accessibility, the light and season change every location! so this is just a brief overview (:

1 Glen Alps / Flattop Trailhead

there’s a reason this spot is one of my go to locations - there’s so much variety within a short walk from the parking lot. Glen Alps area has some of my favorite lil dramatic pine trees, mountains in one direction and a view of the Cook Inlet on a clear day in the other direction. you can also hike up the trail if you want more of a view, or a different perspective on the mountains!

insider scoop: this location can get pretty windy, so keep that in mind! it’s not my first choice for sessions with little kids if the weather is iffy, especially since it tends to snow earlier in the year + stay snowy later than other locations because of the elevation. but I LOVE it for couple’s sessions, bridal portraits, or even branding depending on the business.

2 eklutna lake

this spot is special to me personally because we grew up coming to the campground in the area - BUT I don’t think I have to explain why it’s an awesome photo session location! the mountain towering over the lake is straight out of a postcard vibe. early in the summer, there’s a rocky beach and as the season goes on, tall green grasses take over as the water rises.

insider scoop: when the water rises later in the season, there’s a trail over a bridge to the left of day parking so you can get similar views and get closer to the water! also, depending on your cell phone company, you might not have service out at this location but it’s a straight shot to the parking lot and back to coverage, so you don’t have to worry about getting lost.

3 beluga point

on the side of the Seward highway, this unique spot has stunning views of the mountains over the ocean. it’s absolutely magical during Alaska golden hour (which is more elusive than you’d think, but worth it) and the rocky outcroppings are some of my favorite backdrops for photos. you get nature, drama, a minimal but adventurous coastal vibe.

insider scoop: depending on the tide, if you want to get adventurous you can climb up or out a little farther to get closer to the water! this spot can also get a little windy because of the location - you can either hide in the trees to the right for some coverage or head to the next location as a backup 😉

couple stands on the rocks in the distance next to McHugh creek waterfall in alaska

4 mchugh creek

backtrack a little bit to the OTHER side of the Seward highway and you get McHugh creek! there are three different parking lots, so it’s a bit of a choose your adventure location. the top parking lot is closest to a path in the trees that leads you to a full birds eye view of the Seward highway and mountains across the way! very epic. the second parking lot leads you to a little stream, a sheltered area nestled in the trees, and a beautiful bridge crossing said stream if you hike back a few minutes. the lowest parking lot has a cute little waterfall that leads into a little pond! you can hike down there right past the sidewalk. it’s a treasure trove!

insider scoop: I would definitely recommend having bear spray on you and making plenty of noise if you decide to hike back into the trails at all! my husband and I actually got our engagement photos taken here and ran into a bear and quickly found another spot, haha. 🐻

bride and groom couple are running toward the mountains in hatcher pass alaska

5 hatcher pass

okay, so this spot is an hour or so from anchorage but I had to include it because it is WORTH IT. Hatcher Pass is like, a completely different version of Alaska. you get the mountains and green rolling hills. there are plenty of smaller hikes to alpine lakes or ridge lines where you feel like you’re on top of the world, but also a few spots that are a few steps from parking areas. grab hot chocolate or something from the lodge after your session!

insider scoop: for starters, you will most likely not have service out in the Pass. if you are going to go up the summit lake road, it doesn’t open because of snow till late June/early July, the same with the Independence Mine road. also, you are NOT allowed to do photo sessions at/around the Lodge unless you are staying in one of them. so just appreciate the cute cabins in the distance haha!

having a hard time choosing?

truthfully, this is just to get you inspired - I talk with all my clients to figure out what they want from their session and then suggest locations based off of their desires to get the photos of their dreams!

I also have more locations in the vault that I suggest to my clients (I couldn’t give you all my secrets!!) so chances are, even if these don’t quite hit the spot, I bet you know somewhere that will.

let’s go!!

John + Cecelia // Homer Alaska Wedding

J + C at Diamond J Ranch in Homer, AK

John and Cecelia gathered their people to the beautiful Homer, Alaska for a colorful and fun wedding day! These two have such solid energy and all of the toasts later in the evening confirmed they’re the kind of people you want to have in your corner. Diamond J Ranch has unparalleled views of the Kachemak Bay, and the rest of the property is set up for a perfect day. These two also had an amazing vendor team (full list at the end of the blog post) that made their day seamless and stress-free.

Cecelia got ready with her girls in the cozy bridal suite. The atmosphere was chill, fun, and the details were handpicked and elegant!!

Once all the hair and makeup was set in place, dresses on, florals gathered, Cecelia shared a sweet moment with her dad before walking down the aisle. The bride and groom shared simple but sweet and personal vows in front of the mountains. The weather was truly perfect - we all were watching the clouds but John said “Nope, it’s not raining on MY wedding day!” and he was right. Everyone’s eyes were on the couple as they became husband and wife!!

After the ceremony and some photos with loved ones, the owner of the venue gave the bride, groom and I a special ride on their side by side to a couple different beautiful lookouts where you could see Grewingk Glacier and the next spot they got comfy with the horses on the property.

We drove back to the main reception where they ate, listened to their people tell stories, feasted on cake and partied until the sun went down! so many special moments.

John and Cecelia’s day was SO fun. I’m obsessed - from the florals, to the bow on her gown, the tears during their vows, to the way they all tore it up on the dance floor together. All of the guests had amazing energy and it was such an honor capturing them all making these memories together.

The vendors were truly a dream team:

Venue - AK Diamond J Ranch

Planner - Jordan of AK Happenings

Florals - Alina of Lily of the Valley Floral Co.

Hair - Courtney of Beauty Travels AK

Makeup - Vanity Makeup and Esthetics

DJ - Fractal Theory

Catering - The Tickled Pear

Photography - yours truly, Rachel Struve Photography

Getting married and dreaming of photos like this of YOUR day and YOUR love and YOUR people? You deserve it and I would love to make that happen for you!

How to Elope in Girdwood, AK

Guide to Eloping in Girdwood, AK

If you’re dreaming of snow-capped peaks, mossy forests, moody Alaska aesthetic — Girdwood is calling. Just 45 minutes from Anchorage, this little ski town is a hidden gem for couples who want to elope in nature without losing the cozy luxury vibes. As an Alaska-based elopement photographer, I’ve captured countless love stories in Girdwood and I’m here to spill all (well, some of) the local secrets to help you dream up your perfect day!

Whether you're taking a tram to the top of Alyeska, saying vows in the forest, or popping champagne by the fire, this guide has everything you need to start planning your time in Girdwood, Alaska for your elopement.

Why Elope in Girdwood?

  • It’s not far from Anchorage and the airport, but as soon as you leave the Anchorage city limits you’re treated to some of my favorite views in Alaska along the Seward highway. It’s less than an hour drive and you are transported to a storybook ski town.

  • Girdwood is lovely year round (well, except for breakup season in the spring, but that’s not her fault). I’ve photographed fall elopements, winter elopements, and summer elopements and they all have a different beautiful feel.

  • Epic views with minimal travel/hiking required - if you’re not trying to break a sweat on your elopement day but still want epic views or the feeling of being deep in the forest, Girdwood has some unique spots that fit the bill.

  • Girdwood has some of the best food in Alaska if I do say so myself, from the Bake Shop (the Shepherds Omelet is my go to) to Double Musky (incredible cajun inspired cuisine).

    And that’s just scratching the surface. If you’re considering an Alaska destination elopement or intimate wedding, Girdwood should be high on your list of options.

Best Time of Year to Elope in Girdwood

Honestly, the best time to elope in Alaska is literally anytime other than “spring” (end of March/April). It depends on the year but usually it’s just kind of muddy and brown. I highly recommend literally any other time BUT if that’s the only window that works for you, I have some secret spots that are the vibe year round! I digress. Here’s what you’d get in Girdwood depending on the season:

  • Winter: snowy forests, ski-lodge vibes, hot drinks + cozy cabins

  • Summer: lush greenery, almost uninterrupted daylight, warmer temps

  • Fall: alaska fall colors and fewer tourists

Bonus Tip: Girdwood can be rainy — embrace the cozy mood or pack clear umbrellas!

Top Elopement Locations in Girdwood

I can’t share all of my secrets (LNT and all that) but one of the most popular locations is Virgin Creek Falls – it’s a short walk to a beautiful waterfall! This could be your ceremony spot, or a secondary location for magical photos later.

What to Do After Your Elopement

Another way Girdwood shines - so many activities!

  • For food after (or before?) your elopement - Jack Sprat or Double Musky for dinner, or grab a couple beers and sit by the fire looking at the mountains at Girdwood Brewing!

  • A Girdwood must - Alyeska Nordic Spa! You can book couples massage, or just hangout in the hot and cold pools and eat at the Bistro. Yum.

  • There are tons of cute Airbnbs to stay in - or if you prefer a hotel, you can stay at Alyeska Resort! Extend your trip for a mini honeymoon and go skiing or snowboarding if that’s your thing.

  • You can also take a helicopter to a glacier, go dogsledding, or check out the Alaska Wildlife Conservation Center to get to see some of Alaska’s wild creatures up close. (these adventures can be incorporated into your elopement day too!).

Girdwood Elopement Logistics

A few nitty gritty things you might also want to know:

  • You’ll get your Alaska marriage license from Anchorage - it’s $60 and there’s a 3 day waiting period from the date you obtain the license to the day you say your vows.

  • For officiants, I’ve got a list of people I recommend that do a beauuuutiful job.

  • Always have backup layers + plans to prepare for the weather! I help with suggestions for this depending on the season, and I also have planners I can recommend to take that completely off your plate.

What to Pack for Your Girdwood Elopement

Here’s a mini Alaska elopement packing list! Girdwood elopement essentials and some other things you might want in your suitcase, or to acquire when you arrive in Alaska for your elopement day:

  • layers, rain gear, waterproof shoes

  • vow books, rings

  • hand warmers or bug spray depending on the season

  • florals that can handle Alaska weather (I’ve got recs!)

Seward Windsong Lodge | Alaska Intimate Wedding Photographer

Man oh man this was a DAY for the books!! This intimate wedding at Seward Windsong Lodge was long awaited!!

So, backstory: we took Bao and Bianca's engagement photos in February of 2020. YEP. Riiiight before COVID started, and then their wedding was rescheduled TWICE. They were such good sports about it, but I felt bad for them (and all my COVID couples!)

But these two finally made it up to Alaska in their van with their two pups! And their friends and family joined them too. It was so much fun to FINALLY get to celebrate with them. And it was all the more meaningful knowing how much they had been through to make this day happen!

On the wedding day itself, Seward completely surprised us with a HOT sunny Summer day as opposed to the usually cloudy/rainy/pnw vibe weather and we embraced it. Their ceremony was bright and cheerful, and matched their happy vibe so well to be honest.

They had an amazing vendor team and wedding party - everything came off so beautifully and it was so special and fun to watch them finally celebrate each other with their loved ones. And the Seward Windsong Lodge was literally the perfect venue for their big day. After the outdoor ceremony, the spent the afternoon dancing with their friends and family. And it was so freaking joyful to watch!

Keep your eyes peeled for their glacier adventure session the day after!! Bao & Bianca, thank you for choosing me to be your intimate Alaska wedding photographer.

Hatcher Pass Alaska Fall Elopement // Jason + Lauren

jason + lauren

intimate hatcher pass elopement

September sunshine, crisp mountain air, and two best friends in love: Jason and Lauren’s Alaska elopement was full of warmth, laughter, and the sweetest moments (including their adorable dog, Lucky!). From playing fetch in their backyard to hiking Hatcher Pass with their pizza, this day was the perfect mix of adventure and ease. Exactly what an intimate Alaska elopement should feel like.

Inside, they took their time helping each other get ready. I know it’s not for everyone - I love a good first look surprise moment as much as the next person - but these quiet moments preparing for your day together can be so special.

We headed out for Hatcher Pass (but not before stopping for our Blaze Pizza order on the way). Hatcher Pass is one of my favorite spots for Alaska elopements - there is so much variety and wilderness. We arrived as Summit Lake and were greeted with some rare autumn sunlight peeking over the mountains. The two of them laughed and ran along the ridgeline, very in love and in their own little world. We played with the light and the reflections and the mud on the hem of Lauren’s gown.

As the sun starting dipping lower in the sky, we hiked out past a beautiful stream with mountains towering behind it - tell me that isn’t the most perfect spot to eat pizza on your elopement day?

The light was perfect; the drama of the sunbeams bursting out from behind the mountains is literally what I picture when I think of epic. Alaska really showed off for this elopement day and I am obsessed.

Jason and Lauren’s day was everything I love about Alaska elopements — spontaneous, playful, and filled with real moments. I loved their comfortable, playful ease with each other. I loved how Jason called Lauren “sweet girl” throughout the day. If you’re dreaming of a wedding day that’s more about connection than tradition - where you can grab pizza, play in the mountains, and just be - I’d love to help you tell your story.

Thinking about eloping in Alaska? As an Alaska elopement and wedding photographer, I specialize in capturing adventurous elopements in places like Hatcher Pass, Summit Lake, Anchorage, Seward and beyond. If that sounds like your kind of day, let's connect!

Alaska Elopement Ideas: 3 Unique & Adventurous Ways to Say "I Do"

bride and groom standing on a glacier in alaska

As an experienced Alaska-based photographer, I've had the privilege of witnessing countless elopements within the raw, untamed beauty of the last frontier.

If you’re eloping in Alaska, why not make getting married a full-on adventure?

Alaska is wild, vast, and full of places that will take your breath away. Elopements in Alaska are for the daring, for those who cherish excitement and beauty as they embark on a lifelong journey together.

If you and your partner want an elopement that feels like an adventure - not just a photoshoot but a real, once-in-a-lifetime experience - these 3 adventure elopement ideas will make your day unforgettable.

one // Helicopter Glacier Elopement

Picture this—you lift off in a helicopter, soaring over mountains and wildlife before landing on an actual glacier. Just you, your partner, and miles of untouched ice (and the pilot/officiant...and me... but you get the idea).

Glacier blue ice caves, towering peaks, and the kind of silence that makes everything feel more intimate. No guests, no stress, just the two of you in one of the most surreal places on earth.

Some pro tips to get the most out of this experience: Dress in warm layers (even in summer) and opt for a flowy dress or veil that will catch the wind for extra jaw-dropping photos. Book with a reputable helicopter tour company like Outbound Helicopters or Alaska Helicopter Company. (I've worked with both of these companies!).

two // Oceanfront Vows & Private Boat Adventure

If you’re drawn to the ocean, imagine hopping on a private boat to a rocky coastline, where you exchange your vows in front of the waves and the mountains.

Boat elopements are the ultimate mix of coastal romance and adventure - if you're lucky, you'll see wildlife (puffins! seals! etc!) and galavant around secluded islands. One of my couples did their first dance on the beach with an audience of sea birds and it was perfect.

To make the most out of this experience: Booking a private charter in areas like Kenai Fjords, Resurrection Bay, or Prince William Sound - my suggestions would be Millers Landing, Resurrection Bay Sailing, or Shearwater Cove. Pack a cozy blanket for the ride, and bring champagne to celebrate on the water - OR, better yet, hire a planner like AK Happenings or A Touch of Saige Events to coordinate cake/other treats and a beautiful table setting for you out in the wild.

three // Hike to a Secluded Ceremony Spot

There’s something grounding about your own two feet carrying you to a beautiful, stunning view where you will marry the love of your life. Whether it’s a short, scenic trail or a longer trek to a mountain peak, this adventure is perfect for couples who want privacy, stunning and unique views, and a true sense of freedom.

The options you can hike to in Alaska are endless - panoramic mountain views, alpine lakes, or even a waterfall. A unique, stunning, just-you-two experience with no distractions (well, except for other hikers - it is Alaska, after all. but they usually keep to themselves and truck along.).

Choose a hike that matches your comfort level - trails like April Bowl or Gold Cord Lake in Hatcher Pass offer incredible views without an intense climb; Mt.Baldy or Mile High in Eagle River are steeper, Rabbit Lakes in Anchorage is longer but less uphill. Pack light, wear comfortable hiking boots, and plan a post-ceremony picnic!

Kind Words

“Rachel was by far the most amazing photographer I could have asked for. She really took the time to get to know us a couple. On the day, she made me feel so comfortable and confident. She was incredibly easy going and creative. We received our photos back very quickly and could not be happier!” -Cristy

Adventure Elopement in Alaska | Carl + Emma

Just another day in the office... except my office was the oceanside in Alaska! I had the incredible honor of capturing Carl and Emma's intimate adventure elopement in Seward, Alaska, and it was SO beautiful. This fun couple ditched traditional wedding norms and exchanged vows amidst rugged natural beauty, creating a truly breathtaking and intimate wedding day. It was a day filled with love, laughter, and precious memories!

Emma spent her morning getting ready in the stunning blue A-frame cabin at Salted Roots Cabins out at Lowell Point in Seward, Alaska. Natural light poured in from the windows as Kelsey from Lipstick and Bobby Pins helped get the bride ready for the day.

Even after years of being an elopement photographer, it's moments like these that I live for - capturing the genuine emotions, the tender glances and the casual banter of close-knit family and friends.

The ceremony location was a perfect postcard-esque scene of Alaskan beauty. Lowell Point is one of my personal favorites in Alaska. Carl and Emma’s intimate vow exchange was witnessed by their closest friends and family and about 432 seagulls squawking on the beach. It was a milestone none of us will forget!

After the intimate ceremony, Carl and Emma and the crew made their way back to the adorable A-frame house. They had a champagne tower (love) and everyone toasted to the newlyweds! Following the champagne, they shared some homemade alaskan sourdough and salmon spread before heading to The Flamingo Lounge for their dinner.

Carl and Emma's Adventure Elopement in Alaska was everything a couple could dream of - cozy, intimate, and breathtakingly beautiful. From an A-frame cabin tucked into a magical forest, to a heartfelt ceremony set against a magnificent landscape, every minute and every photo was full of love. I feel incredibly privileged to have been a part of their day ♡

Here's to Carl and Emma, may their life together be as adventerous, fun, and beautiful as their elopement day in Seward, Alaska!

Mountain Elopement in Anchorage | Rogan + Simiyah

Welcome to the adventure that was Rogan and Simiyah’s oceanside elopement in Anchorage! Anchored in their shared love for the outdoors, the couple took the offbeat path, literally and figuratively, for their wedding ceremony. It was a very intimate setting, focused just on the two of them and their love - exactly like they wanted.

The day kicked off on the rocks of beluga point, with mountains in the distance and a blizzard raging around us. I don’t know if I’ve ever seen more incredible winter wedding attire! They shared their vows using the evergreens for shelter from the wind, exchanged rings and made it official.

Rogan and Simiyah braved the elements for a few photos that practically shouted “WE ELOPED IN ALASKA IN A BLIZZARD” (absolutely worth it) before we retreated to a less blustery are of anchorage for some more magical snowy bride and groom portraits.

Following the ceremony, the couple returned to their hotel downtown Anchorage to continue the celebration. A cozy cake-cutting session followed by some champagne popping completed our time together but definitely was not the end of the warm fuzzy feelings!! I literally miss these two.

This unconventional elopement was a true testament to their love for each other and the outdoors. While far from traditional, Rogan and Simiyah’s mountain elopement in Anchorage was very much them.

“Rachel was wonderful to work with! She was the only professional vendor we booked and are so thrilled we did. Not only are the photos of our intimate elopement wedding in the Prince William Sound gorgeous, but she fit in seamlessly with our tiny 10-person wedding party. She was climbing ship stacks and into zodiacs in the rain without batting an eye. So happy we got to work with her!” -Mariah

Noah + Laurel’s Portraits In The Mountains

Capturing Noah and Laurel's relationship in the mountains of Alaska was such a special experience! Every moment spent with them gave me a beautiful peek into their fun, steady love.

We began the shoot against the backdrop of the Glen Alps, with the mountainside foliage starting the change to autumn colors. Their casual outfits added an inviting, relaxed feeling to the photos. We hiked around the mountains, playing card games, frolicking in the wildflowers, drinking beer, and sharing sticky notes with something they love about each other written on them. I absolutely loved crafting a session for them that felt just like their relationship; because your photos are about YOU.

Our day ended with the golden October sun setting behind the majestic Alaskan mountains, casting an magical glow that beautifully illuminated Noah and Laurel's beaming smiles. Seeing them be themselves — goofy, in love, and live in the moment — made every photo genuinely special. Your photos should reflect your personality and bond as a couple, and I loved helping Noah and Laurel create this experience!

Cooper Landing Alaska Wedding Day | Elijah + Olivia

Nestled in the heart of Alaska, Cooper Landing is a hidden gem that offers some of the most breathtaking backdrops for a wedding. When Elijah and Olivia decided to tie the knot, this pristine location was their number one choice. Cooper Landing, situated along the banks of the Kenai River, is a picturesque paradise surrounded by lush forests, glistening waters, and towering mountains. As their photographer, capturing their wedding was both an honor and an adventure. Here’s a peek into their sweet fall wedding day.

The day began with Olivia and her bridesmaids getting ready in a cozy A-frame cabin with large windows letting in soft, natural light. The atmosphere was filled with laughter and excitement, real life moments. Olivia’s wedding dress, an ethereal lace gown with intricate detailing, hung perfectly against the backdrop of pine trees outside. Elijah and his groomsmen got ready in a rustic log cabin elsewhere on the property. The groom wore a navy blue suit, complemented by a boutonniere featuring native wildflowers!

Elijah and Olivia had their first look in front of the river and took the moment to read each other private vows. This is always one of my favorite things that couples do; taking a moment for themselves without an audience to soak in the day and their promises.

Friends and family watched with joy as Elijah and Olivia became husband and wife in front of the mountains and the river. We frolicked around the venue taking photos, swinging from a tree, walking out onto the dock on the river, and making the most of Cooper Landing, AK in the fall.

After the portrait session it was time for the party! The reception was full of personal touches, heartfelt speeches from loved ones, and really good cake.

Congratulations to Elijah and Olivia!

Downtown Anchorage Anniversary Session | Eric + Zoe

Capturing Eric and Zoe's Downtown Anchorage anniversary session this past September was a dream! Alaska can be hit or miss with weather, but we lucked out with a stunning evening. We were going for “old money, future CEO” vibes and the city setting + Eric and Zoe’s impeccable outfits were giving what we needed them to give, phew!

The fallen leaves scattered on the sidewalks were an added bonus to the aesthetic, and then we'd catch a glimpse of the sun peeking through the city buildings - I am LIVING for that sun flare hehe. We spent a good part of the evening just exploring and stopping whenever a spot caught our eye!

Eric and Zoe are one of my wedding couples from a few years back, and it’s always such a joy working with past clients again. There was plenty of laughter, sweet whispers, a sunset dance. Each shot truly felt like a genuine moment, not just a pose (because…it was. LOL). I couldn't be happier with how their story came to life in this session. Please make a big deal of the photo I got of them across traffic, because it is one of my favs of my career. ENJOY.

Dreamy Alaskan Elopement | Connor + Alissa

Connor and Alissa chose Whittier Alaska, their 12ish favorite people and their pups to create the perfect elopement day adventure for the two of them. Everyone got ready in a big cabin in Girdwood before making the drive to the overlook of their dreams in Whittier.


We all hiked down to the most serene little beach spot; Alissa got dressed on the beach and hid in a cove while the groom skipped rocks and the rest of the crew set up their ceremony in front of a stream running into the ocean.

Their ceremony (performed by their dear friend) was sweet and emotional. I never want couples to feel any pressure to “force emotion” during wedding day moments, but I DO want them to feel relaxed, comfortable, and safe to have the space to be authentically themselves and in their feels on their big day.

We raced against the tide to take some one of a kind portraits by the ocean before hiking back up to a perfect snack spread on the picnic tables. We took photos with the crew, drank whisky, and frolicked around in a field.

Thank you to Connor and Alissa for choosing me to document this day that they did their way!

The shots of them out on the rocks in the ocean are maybe some of the most epic photos I’ve ever taken, enjoyyyyy

Oceanside Whittier, Alaska Couples Session // Alaska Portrait Photographer

This, my friend, is the kind of magic we can create together.

Liz and Anthony are one of my past intimate wedding couples and they snatched up this romantic oceanside themed session when I launched themed sessions last year. (themed sessions are stylized sessions with a certain aesthetic achieved through outfits, location and occasionally props and I LOVE how unique and artistic the resulting images always are).

They went thrift shopping for coordinating trench coats, packed up some wood in the car and headed for one of the moodiest places in Alaska - Whittier Beach. They warmed their hands up by the fire, ran along the rocky beach, Lizi beachcombed for ocean things (she’s a marine biologist). We talked about their first year of marriage (it was their first anniversary) and the next steps and exciting moves coming up for them in the future.

Thank you to these two for leaning into the romance, the rain, and their relationship on this evening.

Enjoy scrolling through the beauty!

Emma + Caleb's Elegant Autumn Wedding // Alaska Wedding Photographer

When Emma and I talked on the phone before her wedding, she told me her inspo was “elegant autumn wedding” with shimmery blues and I was HOOKED. Aside from the fact that Emma is literally the sweetest human ever (Caleb is pretty great too 😉) - I was so honored to be their photographer and help them bring this vision to life.

Working with these two was extra special because we went on a little hiking adventure together out to South Fork for their engagement session, which just added to my excitement for their wedding day. They were relaxed and happy - excited about each other and surrounded by supportive people.

The weather turned out PERFECTLY - we got the best of alaskan September autumn colors, comfortable temps and it was perfect for their outdoor first look and sweet ceremony. They did a beautiful job decorating their venue - Government Peaks Chalet - for the reception, and danced away with their friends before having their own last dance before their exit.

I don’t photograph a lot of larger weddings these days, but these two were a perfect fit and it was amazing from start to finish.

8 Airbnbs for Your Alaska Elopement

8* Airbnbs for Your Alaska Elopement

I love Alaska as much as (okay honestly, probably more than) the next person, but sometimes it’s difficult to find what you’re looking for when you want to have an intimate wedding or elopement here.

It’s no surprise that Airbnbs are becoming more and more popular for these intimate events. However, I know you can spend HOURS on Airbnb searching for locations that are going to be functional, pretty inside and out (I know this, because I have done it).

Hopefully, this list will save you some time and help inspire you not only with the local options for Airbnbs, but also locations to get married near them!**

SEWARD ALASKA AIRBNB

One of the most popular spots in Alaska for elopements and intimate weddings, for good reason! These modern cabins are cozy but sophisticated. The property is located right across from the beautiful Lowell Point beach. The owners have multiple cabin stay options ranging from cottages, to these 6 person cabins, to a newly converted bus! There is a wood fired sauna that is available with any stay, and most of the listings have fully functional kitchens. Check out all the options available on the Salted Roots Property at this link:


Salted Roots Cabins

EKLUTNA LAKE AIRBNB

This beautiful cabin is settled less than 20 minutes from the iconic Eklutna lake, in a “secluded” forest location. It is a dry cabin (+composting toilet and self contained sink), and there is no cell service in the area so it’s truly an alaskan experience, but the cabin itself does have wifi. The inside of the cabin is cozy and cute, and the views from the porch + out the front windows are exceptional. This would be SUCH a cute spot to get ready for your elopement at Eklutna Lake or even in the surrounding forests, and such a cute little honeymoon cabin!

A FRAME AIRBNB IN WASILLA ALASKA

These gorgeous modern airbnb cabins are nestled in the backroads of Wasilla, AK. The interior is bright, clean, and cozy, and a spiral staircase. They both have hot tubs, kitchens, and wifi - and they’re not a far drive from Hatcher Pass, which is MUST see in Alaska and another popular elopement location, for a reason!
Wasilla A-Frame

 

CABIN IN HOPE AK

This cute little cabin is a perfect little stay in the quaint town of Hope, Alaska. If you want a chill, cozy elopement stay - there’s board games and a full kitchen, a fire pit in the yard, and you’re a walk away from “downtown” Hope. You could get married in the forests around the cabin or one of the scenic locations around Hope!

SUTTON / MATANUSKA GLACIER AIRBNB

Don’t underestimate this spot because of the photo - yes, it’s another cabin, but this guy is in Sutton OVERLOOKING MATANUSKA GLACIER! If you’re looking for a different kind of elopement, this airbnb is in perfect proximity to the Matanuska glacier. You can even see it from the front windows, and the cabin itself is simple and clean.

WHIMSICAL CHALET IN KODIAK ALASKA

Okay okay, I know it’s a little out there but I couldn’t make myself take this off the list. If you wanted to take the whole fam or a group of your besties out to Kodiak, you could elope in this one of a kind location within walking distances of the ocean and beach. I’m partial to the library and that amazing staircase - you could take some really vibey photos there! Top it off with a gorgeous view of the bay from the deck and you’d have yourself a beautiful, unique elopement experience.

LAKEFRONT CABIN AIRBNB IN WASILLA, AK

Cute little cabin with lake access, a fire pit, full kitchen, cozy queen sized bed in the bedroom. The indoors is lovely and updated. Get married in front of the lake and then sit back and enjoy the views from the window!

LULUS TENTS IN PALMER, AK

Okay - this photo doesn’t do this airbnb justice, but it would be such a beautiful and unique elopement experience! These clamping tents are comfy, stylish, and you’re welcome by beautiful views on the Knik River when you walk outside. Get married in front of the mountains by the river, hangout around the fireplace on the property, and then relax in your personal glamping tent. How cool!

Jade + Nick in Hatcher Pass // Alaska Elopement Photographer

Jade + Nick’s Hatcher Pass Elopement // Alaska Elopement Photographer

This love story started with a heated conversation (argument?) about aliens, and other important things.

Jade and Nick recounted the details of their first long conversation in the vows they shared during an epic, windy ceremony in Hatcher Pass. After photographing these two for their engagement session and now their elopement, all I could think when I walked away was “They REALLY like each other.” 

From the way they teased each other to the way they kissed, their love and relationship was so strong and beautiful and I was so honored to be their elopement photographer.

Their day felt peaceful and relaxed from start to finish, and Hatcher Pass was of course stunning. Alaska brought all of her wild glory with the sun and wind, and the view from their ceremony felt like you were on top of the world. There’s a reason Hatcher Pass is such a popular elopement location in Alaska. I love photographing there because even though it’s always beautiful, the light and the atmosphere are always different, like much of Alaska - you never know what you’re going to get.

Here are just a few images (oh yes, there are so many more) from their elopement day - getting ready moments, first look feels, hanging out before the ceremony, windy vows, exploring around the mountains, and champagne toasts by the river later.

Intimate Adventure Boat Elopement in Valdez, Alaska // Alaska Elopement Photographer

When I tell couples to do what makes them happy, include their most supportive people, and be themselves on the day they get married, this is what I’m talking about.

Chris and Moriah (and their adventure pup, Rhubarb) gathered their 8 closest people in Valdez, Alaska for their elopement day and set out on a beautiful adventure together. Every detail of their day was intentional and meaningful and they savored it.

alaska adventure elopement photographer Valdez alaska

The day started getting ready at the Valdez Totem Hotel. The bride’s mother helped her get dressed and watched as she did final touches on her hair. On the drive over to the harbor, they played a song in the car that they used to listen to together in high school and I could barely hold it together - especially when she saw her dad at the bottom of the ramp to the harbor, holding a go pro and proud as can be.

Her groom was waiting at the end of the dock for their first look. Tears were shed and moms took photos on their iPhones.

We went up to the deck of her father’s boat to take some portraits before heading to the ceremony location. The bow was covered in peonies that her mother grew in her garden as they stood in their xtra tuffs in front of the fog in the harbor.

I found their wedding date scribbled on an unassuming notebook in the wheelhouse and had to get a shot of the rings there. The bride and groom snuggled their pup and we took a few more portraits as we set out to our destination, a private, remote ceremony location.

When we arrived at the ceremony location, the rain stopped and a RAINBOW graced the skies in front of the mountains right before the ceremony. It was breathtaking.

The bride’s brother performed their ceremony on the bow of the boat and there was not a dry eye in sight. They had each of their guests put a rock in a jar with their wishes for their marriage and then put their own vows into it - it was so special.

After the ceremony, we took some more photos and then went on a little kayaking adventure around the cove!! One of the coolest elopement day experiences I’ve ever had the opportunity to photograph.

They had their first dance and mother/son + father/daughter dances in the tiny kitchen of the boat before cutting and eating the most delicious carrot cake I’ve ever had. Bride and groom popped champagne before heading back to the harbor.

From the peonies to the carrot cake, the rocks and the vows, the private ceremony in front of the mountains overlooking the ocean - this was a day to remember. Chris and Moriah and their loved ones were so full of love and joy and I was struck by the beauty of them enjoying each other. I’m so honored I got to photograph these special moments.

If intentionality, beauty, honesty, adventure and fun are what you’re hoping for the day you get married and the images you take away from it - I’d love to make that happen for you.

Snowy Winter Engagement Session // Anchorage Alaska Wedding Photographer

Tell me this isn’t what you think of when you think of alaska winter engagement photos? We could not have planned the snow even if we did it on purpose.

Tyler and Alexis met me at the base of a mountain (basically) in the middle of a surprise blizzard for their engagement photos. We chatted from car to car windows in an attempt to make sure Alexis’s beautiful hair stayed intact for as much of the session as possible - joke is on me, her hair was perfect the entire time even after being bombarded by snowballs / I mean snowflakes.

It may have been difficult to walk in, but it was an alaska winter wonderland. Tyler and Alexis frolicked around in the snow with me without hesitation!

We took a break halfway through their engagement session to warm up in our vehicles and it was just what was needed to finish strong!! They switched their outfits up a bit and as we walked to the next location, they shared a little bit of their story with me, their personalities and life changes, and some of their hopes for the future.

I’m so honored when any couple chooses me to photograph their engagement photos and these two were no exception. Thank you Tyler and Alexis for loving each other and choosing me to photograph it! You made the blizzard look so good.

If you’re engaged and looking for a photographer - I can’t promise a blizzard, but I can promise a good time and magical photos. Reach out here and I’m happy to share more details about what it could look like!
