What it looks like to have a Juneau, Alaska, destination wedding?

One of the main reasons we fly to Juneau so often is because of the cruise ships. Many people are already on their dream Alaska vacation or even their Alaskan honeymoon, so they also plan their wedding ceremonies. Juneau is a great stop because you have a full day in port, which gives us just enough time to pick you up, grab your marriage certificate, have the ceremony, and explore the unique landscape of the area.

Of course, we do get the occasional couple who sees our work and simply wants to get married in Juneau! We also support this! Whichever way you end up there, we love being Juneau photographers for a day or two!
