I had the absolute pleasure of capturing Haleigh and Jesse’s elopement in Seward Alaska this past fall. Jesse is the brother of one of my oldest friends, so this opportunity was super special for me! I love small intimate weddings, and being able to travel for work is one of the HUGE perks of my job. 

They got married at Salted Roots in Seward Alaska. It is a beautiful venue, with picturesque landscapes and cozy cabins for guests. Haleigh wanted a venue that would make everyone feel right at home and would accommodate their needs. Seward is a small town, but Haleigh found everyone she reached out to about their elopement to be incredibly helpful! Their party of 17 was well taken care of at Salted Roots, and enjoyed a delicious meal at Ray’s Waterfront after the ceremony. 

With the wedding being so intimate, it is only fitting that some of the small details were intimate as well. One of Haleigh’s favorite details of the day was a blue heart shaped patch that both of her grandmother’s hand stitched onto her dress. The heart is embroidered with the wedding date. 

All in all, the day was perfect. I couldn’t have asked for a better couple to capture in Alaska! Haleigh highly recommends eloping! She said, “You can always have a reception when you get home!”
