Katherine & Garrett's
Alaska Elopement

We kept exploring from there, landing in places that felt completely different from the last. Katherine and Garrett got to fly into the mountains, walk across a glacier, get married somewhere almost nobody else could reach, and still have enough time to stop and actually take in where the hell they were.

After more than 12 hours together, we ended back in Girdwood with an intimate dinner, cake, and wine. No dramatic finale required. After spending the day flying around Alaska and getting married on a glacier, sitting around a table together for a few hours was exactly where we needed to be.

Just the two of them, on a glacier in Alaska. I mean... come on.

We started slowly in Girdwood before heading into the mountains. Once we lifted off, everything changed fast. Massive icefields, alpine lakes, sharp peaks, and that particular kind of Alaska scale that makes you realize very quickly how fucking small you are.

And apparently we weren’t the only ones out there. At one point, a moose wandered into the day too, because Alaska was really committed to the assignment.

Out on the glaciers, it was just Katherine, Garrett, our pilot, and me. No audience waiting for the ceremony to start. No venue telling us when we needed to leave. We could explore the ice, take in the landscape, and give them space to actually be there together before they read their vows.

Eventually, they found their spot and read their vows surrounded by blue ice, snow, mountains, and what felt like an absolutely ridiculous amount of sky.

The helicopter wasn’t just transportation. It was part of the experience.

Katherine and Garrett knew they wanted something adventurous, intentional, and very much not a traditional wedding. They had already landed on the idea of an Alaska helicopter elopement when they reached out, and from there, the job was figuring out how to turn that very big idea into a day that actually felt like them.

They wanted glaciers, mountains, privacy, and enough time to experience where they were instead of spending the entire day moving from one photo opportunity to the next. A helicopter gave us access to places we simply couldn’t reach any other way, but more importantly, it gave them the freedom to move through several completely different parts of the Alaskan landscape without packing the day into an impossible timeline.

A full-day Alaska elopement with a helicopter, remote glaciers, private vows on the ice, and a moose who apparently wanted in on the plans.
