Some weddings are grand. Others are genuine.
When Dalton and Sarah decided to get married, they didn’t want centerpieces and crowds. They wanted something quieter. Truer. Something that actually reflected who they are: laid-back, honest, and deeply connected.
Their intimate autumn wedding in Seward, Alaska wasn’t just beautiful—it was breathtaking in every way that mattered. If you’ve ever wondered whether a smaller, nature-filled wedding might be more than enough…this is your sign.
Dalton and Sarah met online, but their chemistry was almost immediate. Their first date? Lunch followed by a round of frolf (frisbee golf)—simple, playful, and full of laughter. That same spirit has carried through their relationship to this day.
“What I love most is how good of a human I’ve found. He’s honest through and through.”
They don’t need grand gestures to feel close. Their favorite things to do together? Traveling, yes—but also just being lazy together. Because when your love is deep, the quiet moments matter just as much as the big ones.
Nestled between towering mountains and the glacial waters of Resurrection Bay, Salted Roots Cabins offers a breathtaking blend of natural beauty and rustic charm. In the fall, Seward transforms with golden birch leaves, crisp ocean air, and snow-dusted peaks—creating an idyllic setting for a small ceremony on a secluded beach.
Salted Roots is more than just a venue; it’s an experience. The property features modern A-frame cabins that sleep up to 24 guests across five cabins, making it ideal for intimate gatherings. Each cabin boasts sleek interiors, European-style wet-room bathrooms, and cozy amenities that provide a comfortable retreat for you and your guests.
The venue’s beachfront platform offers a serene spot for ceremonies, while the wood-fired barrel sauna and firepit area provide perfect settings for relaxation and celebration. Whether you’re exchanging vows on the beach or hosting your reception under warm string lights, the atmosphere is nothing short of spectacular.
Dalton and Sarah’s wedding wasn’t extravagant—but it was extra meaningful.
No timelines. No endless guest list. Just a few loved ones, a sacred commitment, and the kind of scenery that doesn’t need decorating.
And here’s the truth: these are the weddings you remember. These are the stories your photos will tell years from now—not just about what you wore, but about how it felt.
About the joy. The quiet. The authenticity.
“My favorite thing about our relationship is how we’ve grown and are navigating life together.”
This is the kind of wedding that speaks to brides who value meaning over performance, and intimacy over pressure.
Too many couples talk about doing something different, but get pulled back into the traditional wedding machine.
Don’t let that be you.
You don’t have to impress anyone. You don’t have to “host.” You can plan a day that feels peaceful, private, and deeply personal—and have it beautifully documented so you’ll never forget how it felt to marry your best friend.
Because the only thing worse than a stressful wedding that was so busy you hardly remember it…
…is the regret of not doing it your way.
