Alaska Glacier Elopement in Homer for Christine & Jason

Christine and Jason contacted me, as their elopement photographer, a little over a month out from when they wanted to elope in Alaska, and on Labor Day weekend, no less! Regardless of those short-window and holiday challenges (plus Mercury in retrograde!), we created an adventure-filled Alaska Glacier elopement based in Homer, AK, which was charming, short and sweet.

An Alaskan Glacier Elopement with Military Precision

Jason is a military helicopter pilot, so he had some qualifications when it came to which helicopter we’d fly in. Many of the tourist charters use a model that he didn’t prefer, so we went with a company that doesn’t normally take tourists to glaciers – much less ones in elopement wedding attire!

An Alaska Glacier Elopement Amidst Breathtaking Beauty

With a quick helicopter ride and me as their Alaska glacier elopement photographer, I captured one of the shortest ceremonies I’ve seen, as Jason and Christine sealed the deal and capped it off with blowing up an inflatable duck!

When we arrived back in Homer after our glacier adventure, we were all hungry, so naturally we had to grab a gourmet hot dog from the local hot dog stand (where the owner makes his own buns).
