Eloping in Alaska is a wild adventure, but how you feel on your day? That’s everything.
From mountain hikes and glacier tours to sailboats and off-road fun, your day can be as epic as you want. But at the heart of it all, it should feel like you two. Comfortable. Connected. Fully present.
You're in the right place if you want a photographer to help you craft a day that’s intentional, stress-free, and true to who you are. Basically think of it as a really epic date. A date where you can breathe deep, be fully yourselves, have a little (lot of) fun, actually enjoy every second of it without feeling like you're putting on a show.
Because the more your day reflects you, the more meaningful the memories (and the photos) will be.
photos that are vibrant, fun, and meaningful
your elopement day is a chance to be fully yourselves, follow your dreams, ditch traditions that don't serve you and live a little

“We truly felt like a friend was documenting our elopement, not a stranger.
When our original plans changed unexpectedly, she knew exactly where to go to capture the perfect shots. She even hiked through deep snow to get amazing skiing photos for us!
Booking Donna will be the second best decision you make [for] your wedding day (the first being ‘I do!’)

“She helped me along the entire process—from sending sample galleries, to choosing locations, and creating a detailed timeline of the wedding day. She was also INCREDIBLY helpful on my elopement day, lending an extra hand whenever I needed it.
My husband, who’s not a fan of getting his picture taken, even said that spending 10–12 hours taking photos was actually enjoyable!”

“When the weather didn’t cooperate on our wedding day, she came up with a plan that ended up working out perfectly. Donna made us feel completely comfortable in front of the camera. She had so many fun and creative ideas, and her enthusiastic + friendly personality made it feel like we were spending our day with a good friend.”

“Despite a winter weather advisory snowstorm and single-digit temps, Donna braved the elements to capture the most magical moments of our day.
The photos not only captured the essence of our love and the beauty of Alaska—they made our friends and family feel like they were there, just by looking at them.”
