The Ward Wedding | Alaska Wedding Photographer

Written By Theresa McDonald

The Ward Wedding was one for the books! I loved everything about this day and I’m excited to finally share it with you on the blog!

These two had a beautiful ceremony at The Driftwood Inn here in Alaska. Their ceremony overlooked the water with the mountains in the background. It doesn’t get more perfect than that, ya know?

After they said “I do!” we took photos with their wedding party who looked FINE in their rust orange and green color palette. Then I took the newlyweds aside for some stunnninnnng couples photos by the water. I mean, how are these two not models?

One of my favorite parts of the day was when they went to the Salty Dawg Saloon with their wedding party before the reception for a drink. It was so personal and fun - I’m all about adding those kinds of details to your day.

After that they had a laid back reception under a big tent with their closest friends and family. It was the perfect end to a perfect day.

Congratulations, Mr. & Mrs. Ward! Thank you for choosing me to document your day!
