The Last Frontier is THE place to elope if you want an unforgettable experience.

Kenai Fjords National Park Elopements

Seward, Alaska - home to the Kenai Fjords National Park. This is a top destination for Alaska elopements for the insane beauty of Resurrection Bay, and the charming town of Seward. This area gives you the true and wild outdoors with the comfort of a remote fisherman town right next door.

There's glaciers, mountains, ocean, wildlife, waterfalls, and so much more to see in Seward. If you want an epic adventure, the heli and boat tours across the Kenai Fjords are incredible. If you want a laid-back day, there's still so many beautiful locations across the area you can drive or walk right up to. There's cozy and remote lodgings - some of which you have to boat tender across the bay to, and tasty eats, bars, and shops in town. It's an amazing place that you will surely fall in love with and never stop talking about!

Your love was written in the stars

How to elope in alaska: the guide

This is the ultimate guide to planning your dream Alaska elopement. From best time of the year, best locations, how to prepare for your Alaska adventure, and more.

"Caitlin exceeded our expectations!!! I found her through Tik Tok after looking at elopement locations/photographers near Texas for months. I knew she was the one I wanted to capture our day when I found her. Throughout the process she listened to what we wanted, made sure we were fully prepared, and she did the dang thing!!! She is so bad a**!! We wanted an adventure elopement and she was down for the adventure. She crawled through a cave with her equipment and didn't hesitate. She is so talented at what she does and I couldn't have asked anyone better to elope us and capture our day!"

- Jacob & Jamie

"Just wow! I cannot say enough about Caitlin! I had no idea what I was looking for when I started searching for an elopement photographer. She was a huge help by knowing the area and being able to provide a timeline for me. She was easy-going throughout and made it fun! If you are searching for a photographer that thinks outside of the box and is up for a challenge, Caitlin is definitely the right person for the job!"

- Sheri & Thomas

"My husband and I had no idea where to start with our elopement journey and Caitlin was such a huge help from beginning to end (literally)! She had all the recommendations; could tell you almost exactly what to expect, and does the most amazing work! Not only super communicative, but her editing style is exactly what we were looking for! Highly recommend!"

- Brooke & Riley

"10/10 elopement experience. Caitlin was able to plan our elopement with only two weeks notice and other projects she was working on. Everything went seamlessly and she has a great attention to detail. Our pics are amazing and they didn't break the bank. We would recommend her over and over!"

- Ashley & Dallon

"Caitlin did my bridal portraits and my wedding. We had planning meetings before each session and she even wrote my wedding day itinerary. The online portal that she uses to store documents, contracts, brainstorming, etc. was user friendly. As a type A bride, I really appreciated this. Caitlin is organized, professional, and so sweet! She was a grounding influence during both sessions, and my guests had nothing but good things to say about her! She also worked well with my videographers. Caitlin's dreamy, ethereal vibes were perfect for my vision. Ben and I enjoyed her company."

- Lindsey & Ben
