Soul & Sky Weddings — Adventurous Luxury Elopements in Alaska and Beyond

I’m Kate Okenatez-Mahoney—your photographer and concierge at Soul & Sky Weddings. I design adventurous luxury elopements for travel‑loving couples so that you can truly experience Alaska and hidden‑gem destinations around the world—without juggling the logistics.

WHAT I CREATE

My obsession?

Elopements built on unique, adventure‑luxe lodging, immersive experiences, and special touches that make it all perfectly you.

This is why my adventurous luxury elopements *start at 1.5 days*—so you can slow down, explore, and actually soak in the experience, not just check it off a list.

*

HOW I SUPPORT YOU

As your adventure luxe elopement designer *and* photographer, I guide every step—from vision to photographing to final gallery—so you get all of the magic without the overwhelm.

With a passport stamped across six continents, insatiable wanderlust, and a career history steeped in complex project management, I put that knowledge to work for you. I handle the design, logistics, and vendor management while documenting your story, so you can stay present with each other.

WHY ALASKA & WHERE TO START

Alaska is *always* on my mind. Why?

Because it’s not just scenery—it’s an experience.

The wild beauty, bucket‑list excursions, incredible guides, and trusted local pros come together for elevated, once‑in‑a‑lifetime elopement weddings.

But... Alaska is a huge state, and knowing where to start planning can feel daunting.

Packages in my Enchanted Canopy Collection for Alaska (featured here on Wandering Weddings) is a great place to begin if you want inspiration to build from, early price transparency, or fewer decisions.

CUSTOM & GLOBAL

For couples excited about something fully bespoke, I create custom adventurous luxury elopements anywhere in the U.S. or around the world.

We’ll choose the right place + right season, and I'll design lodging, access, immersive experiences, and partners to bring your vision to life. Then, I’ll photograph your whole elopement journey with organic, story‑driven imagery.

— LET’S CREATE YOURS —

I can’t wait to meet you and your partner, and to help you create your adventurous elopement—built on the luxury of time and wrapped in Alaska’s wild beauty.

Travel Policy

There are no additional photographer travel fees to or within Alaska for the Wander Select packages packages.

If you expand your Alaska journey with coverage beyond the package, additional travel may apply. Reach out; we can explore tailoring your Alaska elopement & travel experience fully to your vision.

I also work internationally and welcome coverage bookings for multi-stage, modern elopements that includes events like proposals, engagement sessions, parties, or receptions or other post-elopement events.

Booking Terms

A flat-rate retainer (about 20%) secures your booking and your date. From there, installment payments are cadenced between booking and your elopement date, with some timings shaped by deposit requirements for in-package vendors.

Partner vendors may require separate contracts or liability releases — I’ll guide you through those steps so your elopement logistics stay seamless.

Credit card payments are accepted with no additional fees. Sales tax may be applied separately as required by law.

Sneak peek photos are delivered within 1 week, and your full high-resolution gallery within 12 weeks.

NDA elopements/events and privacy-minded clients are welcomed and supported -- your wedding is for *you*

What Couples Are Saying

Read reviews from couples who’ve worked with this photographer and shared their elopement experience.

  • 5-stars

    We knew that we wanted "something different" than the normal, traditional wedding.... Kate engaged us in an ongoing dialogue and relationship in which she asked great questions and got us storytelling...

    Our sense of relief and excitement about the ideas and implementation of our wedding skyrocketed thanks in no small part to Kate... She helped us craft the details of the day.

    Throughout the journey, Kate was an outstanding communicator... All of the images are stunning and record not only the events but the true emotions and exuberance of the adventure experience.

    We are so blessed to have taken this adventure-wedding journey with Kate in the navigator’s seat.
