Patrick & Ashley
August 6, 2015 Ashley and Patrick wanted "casual and stress free" for their wedding day. Dressed in jeans, topped with a lacey white blouse, this beautiful bride chose to marry in the mountains above Skagway. I suggested "Mountain Madness" for their wedding venue. We drove for 20 minutes, into White’s Pass alpine, in search of a scenic mountain setting. Their two friends, one whom was also their photographer, joined us. It was misting lightly with a side of low clouds. Umbrel


Scott & Shannon
August 5, 2015 Scott contacted me two months before their cruise was to arrive in Skagway. He wanted to surprise Shannon by asking her to marry him while on the cruise. That didn’t seem so unusual, until he continued, by saying, "I also want to surprise her with a wedding while in Skagway. Can you help me plan this?". “Are you sure?” I asked. He was certain that she would love it. And love this, she did. She was thrilled that she didn’t need to plan her wedding day. It was ta


Mike & Meredith
May 21, 2015 Although Spring in Alaska can vary in temperature with blustery snowy days, this day was a warm, windless blue-bird kind of day. Meredith had contacted me back in January, wanting a wedding ceremony on a glacier. "Why not splurge a little on the most memorable day of your life," she said. I agreed! The planning began. We hit it off from the start. She was easy to talk to. I felt as if I were helping plan my own daughter's wedding. Meredith was a "do-it-yourself"


Rob & Deanne
May 16, 2015 Laughter sounded, as Rob and Deanne popped their champagne cork. This photo, taken by local events photographer, Elise Giordano, portrays the fun we had this day. "The Secret Rock Spot", a very private wedding venue, was reached via a 10 minute magical forest walk. Time stretched to a half hour, as Elise stopped to shoot bridal photos on the way out. Shore Pines made for many scenic back ground pictures of Deanne on the way out to where Rob waited. Kate, Rob and


Jesse & Pamela
July 9, 2014 Amidst Wild Iris and Dyea wildflowers, this couple had a beautiful photo shoot following a coastal wedding ceremony and reception. Jesse and Pamela were married on a private beach near Skagway. Cake and champagne toasts were shared under our event canopy. Afterwards, I asked them if they'd like a photo shoot amoung the Wild Iris's of Dyea. They said, "Yes", and we drove a half hour out the coastal dirt road to the flats, where "Land Meets Sea". They brought their
