A Decade of Love, Laughter & Adventure

Together for 11 years, their relationship has been shaped by joy, humor, and a shared sense of wonder. Introduced through friends, they’ve spent the last decade making each other laugh with their uniquely weird sense of humor, building a home in Northern Ireland with their much-loved cat and dog, and collecting memories from every corner of the world.

Whether it’s a Scrabble match in their garden or a wildlife trek on the other side of the globe, they chase adventure in all its forms—and their wedding was no exception.

“We love adventures—both close to home and as far away as we can manage.”

A Helicopter Ride to “I Do”

Their day began with the thrill of lift-off, as they boarded a private helicopter and soared above braided rivers, emerald valleys, and towering peaks. As they approached the glacier, the landscape changed—brilliant white ice formations, glowing turquoise melt pools, and miles of untouched snowfields spread out below them.

When they landed, the air was bright, the sun was shining, and the stage was set for the kind of ceremony most people only dream about.

Why Knik Glacier Is a Top Destination for Elopements

Tucked just an hour from Anchorage, Knik Glacier is one of Alaska’s most popular—and visually stunning—elopement locations. Accessible by helicopter, it offers a truly immersive, once-in-a-lifetime setting.

What makes Knik Glacier elopements unforgettable:

• Private glacier landings via helicopter
• Brilliant blue pools in summer months (June–Sept)
• Dramatic ice textures + sweeping mountain views
• Quick access from Anchorage for international travelers
• Ideal for symbolic or legal ceremonies, vow renewals, and elopements

And on sunny days like theirs, the glacier transforms into a mirror of light and color—a natural masterpiece that makes every moment feel like it belongs on film.

This wasn’t just a wedding—it was the adventure their love story was always leading to.

What made this day magical wasn’t just the scenery (though the photos say it all). It was the way their love came alive in that setting—laughing together on the ice, holding each other close as the wind danced around them, savoring every second of the memories they were making.

They didn’t follow tradition.
They followed their hearts—and the result was so much more than a ceremony.

It was joy. Adventure. Commitment. Celebration.
And a chapter in their story they’ll never forget.
