Hiking elopement in Anchorage, Alaska

Bold Alaska hiking elopement

When mountain views and the ocean waves meet you just know it’s going to be incredible. Then, just when you think the day can’t get any better the sky fills with clouds. Setting the mood for an Alaska hiking elopement. I mean like come on. This is giving me so many wedding in Scotland type vibes. Just a moody day at one of my favorite places to elope in Anchorage, Alaska.

Adventuring and a mild hike were definitely a thing during their special day. Spending some time on the shore line while taking in the cool breeze was a must. Especially with the impeccable views of the mountains that surrounded us.

Eventually we all decided that we wanted a better view of this one of a kind location. So we climbed onto an overlook where the wind swept Mariah’s gown and blew her hair. Gary held her hand and helped her every single step of the way. In addition some of my favorite photos from their very own Alaska hiking elopement are from this exact moment with them on the overlook.

Check out some of these epic photos captured from this day at Beluga point. But keep on reading if you want the inside scoop on some more epic places to elope in Anchorage, Alaska. Trust me you are not going to be disappointed by these epic places!

Places to elope in Anchorage, Alaska

Flying into a major airport like Ted Stevens is a great option when eloping in Alaska. Especially if your considering a place within the Girdwood or Anchorage area. Many locations are less than 1-2 hours from the airport. Saving you both time and money. Time that is valuable and is better spent hanging with your boo thing taking in all the moments from your very own Alaska hiking elopement.

Alaska provides many different scenic backdrops for couples to choose from for their big day. Whether you decide somewhere up in the mountains or down by the sea. There is something here for everyone. Here are just a few of my favorite places to elope in Anchorage, Alaska.

Some of my fav spots for an Alaska hiking elopement

  • Beluga Point
  • Eklutna Lake
  • Virgin Creek Falls
  • North Fork Eagle River
  • Hatchers Pass
  • Alyeska Resort
  • Downtown Anchorage

I know it’s hard choosing a place to elope especially if your not from the area. Thats why I always guide my couples and help them find a location thats perfect for them. For instance I’ll go out and explore different locations. I then send my couples photos to help them envision what their day might look like.

I love doing this for my couples and as an elopement photographer I always love finding hidden gems. I’d love to help you find the perfect place for your very own Alaska hiking elopement as well!
