Couples, Portraits, Wedding

The variety that Alaska offers in terms of location is almost shocking. Everything from mountains, to oceans, beaches to fields, metropolitan (small as that one may be) to wilderness. The sky is literally the limit! It’s no surprise that the favorite for most is the epic mountain views that are so uniquely Alaskan…

My umbrellas packed, my boots secured, coat fastened, I trudged out through pouring rain for Grace and Mike’s Wedding day. It had been raining for weeks.

Kristel & Troy’s Elegant Wedding at the Dena’ina Center in Anchorage

Couples, Portraits, Wedding

There are so many beautiful moments at a wedding. The groom seeing his bride for the very first time, a newlywed couples first kiss, their first dance, the moment a couple realizes they are no longer bride and groom but husband and wife. It can be hard to choose just one moment to talk about. After Kristel and Troy’s wedding it wasn’t difficult.

Xaviera & Chong’s Summer Wedding at Bayshore Clubhouse

Couples, Portraits, Wedding

In the wedding industry the term “ideal client” gets tossed around a lot. We’re told to envision the bride you want to serve. Make decisions with her in mind. It takes time and energy to create this persona but because of that, I knew from their first consultation I was going to love every single second of my time with Xaviera and Chong.

Lindsay & Kyle’s Epic Alaska Elopement

Couples, Elopement, Portraits, Wedding

The last few years have been monumental to say the least. I’ll be the first one to admit that I have very little good things to say about them.  Let’s just admit it, it stunk. But, along with the necessary changes to our day to day life I think we can all agree the pandemic […]
