AJ and A’s love story is as unique as their multi-day elopement in Southern Alaska. They first crossed paths in college in California, bonding over their shared passion for wrestling (AJ started in 8th grade and A in 7th!). Little did they know that their journey would take them all the way to the breathtaking landscapes of Alaska. When their college wrestling program was abruptly shut down their freshman year, A returned to her Alaskan roots to be closer to her younger siblings, and AJ didn’t hesitate to follow her. Their love bloomed, and during a Thanksgiving visit to AJ’s family in California, AJ proposed during a beach side set up. Now settled in Fairbanks, they cherish their connection with A’s family and her beautiful home state.

Their elopement adventure was nothing short of epic.

On day 1, AJ and A opted for an adventure couple session at Hatcher’s Pass which was a thrilling prelude to their wedding ceremony. Against the backdrop of majestic Alaskan peaks, AJ and A explored the rugged terrain hand in hand. As they roamed the untamed wilderness, they couldn’t help but chat excitedly, knowing that this very landscape would soon witness their vows. With each step, we were not only scoping out their ceremony location but also forging unforgettable memories in the heart of the Alaskan wilderness, a perfect reflection of their adventurous spirits and enduring love.

Day 2 of their multi-day elopement was an absolute whirlwind of excitement and natural beauty! It all began with their enchanting wedding ceremony at Hatcher’s Pass, where they exchanged vows surrounded by the breathtaking Alaskan wilderness. But the adventure didn’t stop there! We embarked on a thrilling helicopter ride to a glacier in Palmer, where they felt on top of the world, both literally and metaphorically. As the day drew to a close, they shared an exhilarating moment of spontaneity by taking the plunge into a glacier pool, their wedding attire making the icy dive even more unforgettable. It was a day filled with love, laughter, and the kind of adventure that would forever be etched into their hearts.

On the third and final day of their elopement, AJ and A’s love story continued to unfold in a cozy and intimate setting. Their vacation rental, Salted Root Cabins, in Seward, set the stage for a memorable beach stroll and in-home couple session. At the beach just across from their rental and with the majestic mountains as their backdrop, they shared quiet moments, feeling the profound beauty of their love and the natural world around them. As the day waned, they couldn’t resist the allure of a warm bath. The two lovebirds indulged in a relaxing bath together, cherishing the simple yet profound moments of togetherness. Later, they ventured into a sauna, where the warmth mirrored their deep affection. Day 3 was a celebration of intimacy, connection, and the tranquil splendor of their multi-day Alaskan elopement.

AJ and A had a multi-day elopement experience that was truly unforgettable! Love, adventure, and the Alaskan wilderness – what more could you ask for?
