A Love Story That’s Truly Global

Their story begins where few ever travel: Antarctica, at the beginning of the COVID pandemic. Nearly all expedition ships had canceled sailings—except one. By fate or fortune, they ended up among just a handful of passengers… an unexpected love in an unexpected place.

From there, their relationship became a whirlwind of adventure and shared wonder. They got engaged in Ecuador, standing together in the Galapagos Islands at the middle of the world. And now, to keep the theme going, they tied the knot in Alaska—in the Arctic, near the North Pole.

A Glacier Ceremony Like No Other

They partnered with Outbound Heli Adventures to reach some of the most remote and awe-inspiring locations in the state.

Their wedding began with a ceremony on a glacier—surrounded by sapphire ice pools, crisp September air, and panoramic views of the Chugach Mountains. They exchanged vows right there on the ice, with crampons on their feet and joy in their hearts.

Then came the real adventure…

A Helicopter Ride to the Edge of the World

After their ceremony, the helicopter lifted off once again—this time headed toward a rugged mountain ridge high above the glacier, with sweeping views of valleys, waterfalls, and ancient ice formations.

Landing on a remote alpine cliff, they explored the terrain hand-in-hand while soaking in the surreal backdrop: towering cliffs, distant glacier tongues, and a cascading waterfall cutting through the rocks.

Every moment felt cinematic.
The kind of experience you can’t replicate—and one you’ll never forget.

Why September Is Perfect for Glacier Elopements in Alaska

Eloping in Alaska in September offers some of the best conditions for couples who crave dramatic, moody, and photogenic landscapes:

• Crisp air, fewer bugs, and fewer crowds
• Fall color beginning to glow in the valleys
• Deep glacier blues and fresh snow on high peaks
• Clearer visibility for epic helicopter flights
• Ideal conditions for layering chic elopement outfits with boots and adventure gear.

Why This Wasn’t Just a Wedding—It Was a Statement

For a couple who met at the South Pole, got engaged at the equator, and married in the Arctic, every destination has told part of their love story.
But this day?
This one felt like a cinematic finale to the trilogy.
It was about more than vows—it was about momentum, memory, and the thrill of sharing the world together.
They didn’t choose Alaska just for the views.
They chose it because it aligned with who they are: bold, curious, committed, and wildly in love.
