Couples Helicopter Adventure Session | Alaska Wedding Photographer

Let’s talk about day after adventure sessions REAL quick.

First of all, adventure sessions don’t have to be the day after your wedding. They can be - but they can also be the week, month, a few months, a year or so - you get the idea.

Corey and Maya’s adventure session, however, did take place the day after their wedding. She put on her gown, he put on his suit, and we all climbed into a helicopter! They chose to land at two different locations for shorter periods of time, which meant we were able to take photos in front of an incredible remote waterfall (Unity Falls) AND on a glacier!

A glacier and waterfall aren’t the only options around here either. You can go hiking, kayaking, dog sledding, have a picnic in the mountains, fishing, campfire & roasting marshmallows…I mean, the possibilities are endless.

Adventure session images are the kind you want to get printed huge and hang up on your wall in your living room. They capture the beauty of Alaska, memories of your time there, AND your love story.

The pilot was super helpful and took almost as many photos with my phone for me as I took with my camera LOL.

It’s a great way to do something you two already love doing or to get out of your comfort zone, with an epic background you might not normally have if you’re just visiting Alaska or don’t always take the time to explore if you live here.
