But not anymore...because you are here
Our wedding was even more beautiful than we could imagine. Christine’s photos did it justice... Christine caught so many amazing memories, and captured moments we never would have remembered without her. Looking at the stunning photos she took easily brings back all the joyous feeling we had on that day. We were so happy to share our special day with her. She showed us some amazing locations and guided us to look our best in them. Christine was extremely accommodating, and made sure we got everything we wanted - it was the perfect day.
Christine is amazing, [she] provided so much insight and helpful tips/info and websites. Christine even has backup plans incase the helicopter tour got canceled due to weather! 10/10 would highly recommend her photography services to anyone. Thank you so much Christine for making our special moment so memorable.
If you haven't noticed yet, Alaska is huge, and everywhere has it's own unique charm and feel. With that said, I am willing to go on record and say that Juneau, the Capital, is the best place to elope. It's a happy mix between the tiny towns that only have one grocery store, and the larger cities that honestly just feel like another city. My top reasons for thinking Juneau is the best are; accessibility and proximity (you're smack dab in the mountains, and have 360 views of towering mountains), it has it all (glaciers, lakes, waterfalls, fields, mountains, ocean, beaches...etc.), it's a hidden gem in Alaska (not even all Alaskans know about it!), and the people are amazing (everywhere you go, you'll be welcomed by incredible people). While the bigger cities are beautiful and have benefits, for a couple who wants intimate adventure why wouldn't you go somewhere where no matter where you are you can be alone in a forest, on a mountain or beach within 5 minutes?
Considering that our state is so large and we have many different climates this question can be addressed more specifically as we plan. However, something to note, Alaska is not buried in snow all year, and it can get pretty warm here! Southeast Alaska is a temperate rainforest, that means we get moody fog rolling through the mountains, extra vibrant colors on glaciers and mountain sides, and we get a lot of rain, so everything is lush and green! Interior Alaska is a little more dry, but much colder in the winter. Also, our weather changes as the day goes on many different times, there is a chance you could get all four seasons in one day! With that I recommend packing layers, and waterproof shoes and jackets. I'll provide umbrellas so don't worry about those!
You can get to Alaska one of four ways; (or a mix of a few!)
Airline - (Alaska is the way to go, ask me how to get one ticket free and a free check bag… who can argue with that!).
Ferry - the Alaska Marine Highway, it’s a great way to get to take in the views of Southeast Alaska but be prepared for three days on a small boat, okay food, and no cell service or internet (it actually is a really beautiful trip!) or
Cruise ship - this is the most common way to get to Alaska, and while you time in port may be limited that doesn’t mean your adventure can’t be grand!
Car - this is the option for the most adventurous, and don't forget to pack your passport, you'll have to pass through Canada!
There are many companies that offer helicopter tours to the nearby Glaciers, that is the easiest way to get on a glacier, the other ways include various levels of hikes!
