This is not a day trip. This is a two-day Alaska glacier elopement that invites you to sleep under the midnight sun, in a private glamping camp set directly on the glacier itself.

Your experience begins at a forest-side luxury glamping camp before you lift off on a private helicopter tour. With two landings included, you’ll choose the place that moves you most to exchange vows—perhaps beside an unbelievably blue glacier melt pool, pausing for a toast with fresh glacier water, drawn straight from the ice, perched on a high alpine ridge, or high up in the mountains where the glacier’s flow begins.  No rush, no hurry.  This is your time to soak it all in, with easygoing images throughout, capturing emotion and you two in the grandeur of this scene you’ve chosen.

While for most couples, that would be the end, this is really just the beginning of your luxury elopement experience.  

From there, you’ll fly by heli to your private glamping camp on the glacier —reserved entirely for you. Luxury bell tents with real beds, warmth, and comfort are waiting, set on raised platforms directly on the ice. Your guides stay in camp with you, preparing meals, leading treks, and creating a safe, fully supported environment. Their role is one of the true luxuries: they host, so you can focus on the experience.

That evening, you’ll sit down to your delicious wedding dinner at a beautifully styled sweetheart table on the glacier with candles, real plates, and thoughtful details help set the scene. A petite cake carried in by helicopter and a bubbly toast round out your first celebration as a married couple. Step out after dinner for a guided glacier walk under the midnight sun for unbelievable portraits as you explore the solitude.  Then, return back to camp, relaxing by the fire under a cozy Pendleton blanket before you head to your private glamping tent to drift to sleep, wrapped in the sounds of the glacier itself.

The next morning is easy going, with coffee delivered to your tent and breakfast prepared by your guides. Enjoy a lounge around camp, and prep for your private heli taxi to arrive.  After a return helicopter flight, you’ll settle into your forest-side glamping tent for another night of quiet luxury. That afternoon we head out on an adventure session—whether hiking in your wedding attire or enjoying a second look styled for portraits, this time is unhurried as well.  Nowhere to be but here–enjoying, experiencing, pausing for a lovely picnic with a premium charcuterie.  The luxury of time across these two days lets you savor one more chapter of your Alaska elopement before continuing your honeymoon across the state.

Throughout it all, award-winning storytelling photography is woven seamlessly into the experience. Every landing, every toast, every quiet moment is documented with care.  Your elopement is so much more than just a quick ceremony, so when you look back through these images across your entire adventure, you’ll remember not just how it looked, but how it felt.

Availability

Available mid-May through early September, when the glacier camp is fully operational.

Summer in Alaska brings long daylight hours, warmer weather.  Choosing to book later in the season (late June-onward) increases the chance of seeing the famous “glacier blue pools”  during your private heli vows excursions and/or glacier treks. It’s also the season of the midnight sun—where evenings stretch on forever, and your celebration feels it can last long into the “night”.

Optional Notes & Customization

This experience is part of my Enchanted Canopy Collection™—curated, immersive elopement designs meant to inspire. Each one is beautifully inclusive as written, giving you everything you need for an unforgettable experience. But they’re never cookie-cutter.

If you love this adventure exactly as it is, we’ll bring it to life. If you’d like to expand or adapt—inviting guests, enhancing décor, adding full travel concierge support, or shaping a honeymoon road trip through Alaska—I’ll guide you every step of the way.
