Best Friends Forever | An Elopement in Hatcher Pass with Guests
Updated: Jan 4, 2021
When you've got an adventurous streak and eight best friends wanting to share in the adventure, you might as well get hitched in Alaska.
Jenny and Danny are from Philadelphia. They love to spend time outside, so when Jenny suggested eloping to Alaska, Danny jumped on board.
They started dating in high school and have been together for 11 years. They have a 9-year old son together.
Their families wanted big traditional wedding but they opted to elope with eight of their closest friends.
They really wanted to be surrounded by mountains so Hatcher Pass it was. The actual location we chose for them wasn't open to the public yet due to late snow covering. The couple was flexible and willing to adjust according to what Mother Nature would allow.
They were both open to hiking and rain as they really want to be married outside. As luck would have it, there was only a small amount of rain on their wedding day.
This couple exudes joy. There was scarcely a moment that day where they didn't have smiles on their faces.
They also had a fun sense of humor. Instead of sipping on champagne after the ceremony they chose to have everyone join them in shotgunning a Coors light.
