Preparing for take off

Ashley and Keaton prepped for their glacier elopement at a chic Airbnb in Palmer, Alaska. Complete with a fireplace and porch with sweeping views of the surrounding snowy mountains, this cozy location made for an unforgettable first look between the two of them. 

The Alaska glacier elopement and its incredible views

This was Ashley and Keaton’s first time on a glacier, and what better way to spend it than eloping together? The helicopter tour took them to three different locations that absolutely took their breath away. For their ceremony, they landed on Knik Glacier, backdropped by the pristine icy land formations you can’t find anywhere else. After their ceremony Ashley and Keaton were swept away to an alpine location to soak in the unbelievable views. And with every step of their day planned for them, all they had to do was enjoy the ride!

Cozying up after the glacier elopement 

After the thrill of their helicopter wedding excursion to the glacier, the couple escaped back to their intimate Airbnb for a quiet end to their adventurous day. Ashley and Keaton were welcomed back by a warm picnic by the wood stove, complete with a charcuterie board, champagne, and a wedding cake for two. This fully planned setup was framed by florals and candle lighting, making it romantically cozy and easy to celebrate their alaska wedding day!

Testimonial from Ashley
Our elopement was absolutely perfect! I'm so grateful for Jordan for making our day so special. I was a little nervous about eloping so far from home but the process was fun and stress free. Jordan listened to everything I wanted and had the best vendors. I wouldn't change a thing!
