Alaska Helicopter Elopement to a Glacial Lagoon

Imagine checking an item off your bucket list on your elopement day with a helicopter ride to a glacier in Alaska. Not only that, but you get flown to your own secluded shore on a glacial lagoon, with a private yurt. And you get to stay the night. But wait… there’s more.

Imagine that you also get to kayak through glaciers, hike around to a secret cave, swim in the glacial water (with a dry suit!). To top it off, you have a meal and wedding cake prepared for you while you watch the sunset and take in the best view you’ve ever seen in your life.

That’s how Jordan & Clayton spent their wedding day.

The whole experience felt like a movie. It felt adventurous, serene, peaceful, and awe-inspiring. It sure as heck is going to be hard to top an experience like this. And why would you want to? It is your elopement day after all.

Helicopter Landing at Their Alaskan Private Yurt

It’s incredible to see the yurts from above as you near the shore of the glacial lagoon. To think that you get to spend the night there! And that this helicopter ride was only the beginning of your epic adventure. And it was already, so so good.

Peep the bear print?

The Ultimate Adventure: Kayaking and Swimming with Icebergs

Just imagine having multiple experiences of a lifetime like this on your wedding day, one after the other! During this part of their Alaska adventure elopement, these two kayaked through rolling icebergs, and even jumped in the glacial lagoon in their dry suits! That’s certainly not something many people can say they did on their wedding day.

Oh, Alaska. The state of endless adventure.

As the sun began to get a little lower on the horizon, it was time to find the most private spot for wedding vows. Alaska in the sunshine. Does it get better than that?

Adventure Elopement Day Two

The next day we woke up to a moody glacial lagoon, and let me tell you. It was a VIBE. Jordan & Clay excitedly put back on their wedding attire so we could capture the glacial lagoon while we waited for our helicopter ride out. It was so serene, and we felt so lucky to see this breathtaking scenery in two drastically different ways.

A special shout out to Seward Helicopters for flying us out to this remote location, and hosting us in your private yurts.

Alaska Elopement Photographer

Looking for someone to not only photograph, but to help you envision your Alaska elopement? I’d love to help. Alaska is one of my favorite destinations, especially between late Spring and early Fall. It’s an exciting place for an elopement or micro wedding, and a great place for helicopter elopements! The outdoor activities here are seemingly endless. You’re going to love it.
