Intimate Mountaintop Elopement | Alaska Photographer

Written By Theresa McDonald

Megan & Trevor had the BEST mountaintop elopement near Anchorage with their closest friends and family. I love these laid back weddings that are just full to the brim of personal meaning with no wedding extras. There is something so beautiful about the intentionality of that!!

These two were married with a small group of people & then they all popped champagne to celebrate together. Afterwards we snuck away to take some epic couples portraits for their mountaintop elopement. And they wrapped up their day riding through the mud and getting messy as hell. It was literally the best!
