Government Peak Chalet | Alaska Wedding Photographer

Written By Theresa McDonald

This was the cutest Alaska wedding at an amazing venue called Government Peak Chalet.

These two wanted their day to be full of love, family and lots of unique, personal details. They chose to sprinkle little Star Wars references throughout their day (see if you can spot them!) and it was fun to see something that was fun for them included! I love when my couples make things personal. Whether it’s a hobby, or a pop culture reference, or an experience - I am here for all the unique, personalized weddings!

We started this day getting ready separately, and then they chose to do a first look so they could enjoy laid-back couples portraits before their ceremony. They were married outdoors on the lawn at Government Peak Chalet, and the foggy weather was literally PERFECT for the vibe. I loved how lush and green all the scenery looked.

Afterwards these two had the most fun reception ever. With tons of details on the tables and throughout the evening, their guests danced the night away in celebration. I loved this whole day and was so honored to document it for the happy couple.
