Intimate Alaska Helicopter Wedding

Written By Theresa McDonald

When I say Grace & Owenā€™s day was amazing, I mean it wasā€¦ammmazzinng.

These two planned an intimate elopement in Alaska with their closest friends and family. They started their big day with an intimate & emotional first look together.

And then? They took a helicopter out to Knik Glacier to say ā€œI doā€ with their closest family. I LOVE my helicopter weddings. Itā€™s just next level when it comes to Alaskaā€™s scenery. Just wait until you see the backdrop for their couples portraits.

This is why I freaking love Alaska!

The fun day didnā€™t end there. We took a helicopter back where they had an intimate reception set up IN A YURT. It was beautifully decorated for their wedding, and their guests enjoyed a warm meal together.

Grace & Owen ended their day dancing with their friends & family to some live music in the yurt. I canā€™t think of a better way to celebrate your wedding day!

Grace & Owen, thank you for choosing me to capture your special day. It was such an honor!
