Planning a Juneau Elopement: Why is it So Overwhelming? (And How to Make It Easy)

So, you’ve decided to elope in Juneau, Alaska. You’re dreaming of dramatic glaciers, misty mountaintops, or saying your vows with the ocean stretching endlessly behind you. You thought eloping would be simple—no massive guest list, no over-the-top wedding drama, just the two of you, focused on what matters most.

Then you start Googling.

A newlywed couple embraces on a stunning glacier in Juneau, Alaska, surrounded by icy blue landscapes and dramatic mountain views.

And suddenly, you’re buried in too many options—where to elope, how to get there, what permits you need, whether you need a helicopter (hint: you might), and how to find a photographer who actually gets elopements. Your inbox is overflowing with recommendations from well-meaning friends and strangers, and now you’re low-key considering just going to the courthouse instead.

Sound familiar?

This is exactly why hiring a Juneau elopement planner and photographer (hi, that’s me!) makes the process so much easier. Because instead of spending hours sorting through endless choices, you get one point of contact to guide you through the entire experience—start to finish. Let’s break it down.

Too Many Choices, Not Enough Time

Here’s how most couples start their Juneau elopement planning journey:

Google “Best places to elope in Juneau” – 13 different blogs pop up.
Click one and realize there are 50+ location options—glaciers, mountains, beaches, forests, waterfalls. Uh, help?
Google “Alaska elopement packages” and get bombarded with everything from luxury helicopter elopements to DIY hiking permits.
Post in a Facebook group: “Anyone elope in Juneau? Recommendations?” – Your inbox floods with photographers, planners, florists, and officiants.
Spend way too much time scrolling and still feel like you don’t have clear answers.

Now, imagine skipping all that. Instead of drowning in information overload, you just tell me what kind of experience you want, and I handle the rest.
