Yukon Ceremony
This couple wished to be married in the Yukon, near one of the two large lakes. Sometimes it gets windy up there, but we have a few spots to choose from. Luckily, their wedding took place on a wind-free sunny day! Wildflower bouquet in hand and hiking boots on the bride's feet, they were off on a short hike to a private location. Ceremony completed, Kate McGill took photos to remember the day by. This wedding venue lies just an hour and a half away from Skagway. If you wish f
Kate & John
October 1, 2015 Kate is my daughter; John, my new son in law. May I say that this wedding was one of the most beautiful weddings on record, without being biased? I doubt it.

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.

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"
Tim & Laura
August 7, 2014 Laura's hand lovingly brushed the daisies, as we walked the garden path, where flowers blossomed, "Mom would have loved these daisies, her favorites. She is here with us now." This touching moment has remained with me. Laura shared her special day with her mother. Mom's spirit guided Laura down the path to her waiting groom. Vows were exchanged in the garden gazebo, followed by a mountain reception. Raspberries were freshly picked that morning. They now sat a t
