Alyeska Resort
– The largest venue in Girdwood that offers everything; Good food, lodging, beautiful ceremony location, elegant ballrooms, and an attentive staff. There are a lot of options and we love working with them! Highly recommended by Chugach Peaks.
Bison Hall at the Alaska Wildlife Conservation Center
– One of Alaska’s newest and coolest venues! Get married in one of the most beautiful spots in southcentral Alaska surrounded by bears, wolves, bison, moose, caribou, and more! The scenery is reason enough to come here, but combine that with a beautiful brand new venue for your reception, a great management team, and of course the animals, and you’ve got a lot of reasons to add this place to your list to check out!
Crow Creek Mine
– A Long dirt road takes you to one of the coolest wedding sites in Alaska! A real, working mine! Get married and try your hand at prospecting all in the same day. Tons of cool props for photos all over the grounds, and of course beautiful mountain scenery. Bring your own food and drink.
Raven Glacier Lodge
– One of our absolute favorite places to shoot in Alaska! And one of our favorite people, too! Cathy Frost consistently prepares the BEST wedding food in Alaska! All home-made, from scratch goodness. The grounds speak for themselves, the food speaks for itself.
Our Lady of the Snows Chapel
-This has got to be one of the prettiest churches in the state! We do so many weddings here and love it each time. Expansive views abound all around the building and the light is always perfect, no matter the weather or time of day. The people who run the church are especially nice and helpful and will make sure everything goes smoothly for you.
Forget Me Not Nursery (Indian)
-We list this as a Girdwood location, but it’s actually in Indian, which is between Girdwood and Anchorage. The owners are a really nice family that are there to make sure your day is great, and the venue is really cool – Check this place out and give it a shot, you will be happy you did!
Girdwood Helicopter Weddings
-Don’t own a helicopter, or have friends who do? No problem! Call our friends at Alpine Air or Anchorage Helicopter Tours and they will hook you up with the most amazing flight of your life, and even land on a glacier or mountain top for some truly once in a lifetime photo opportunities. You know you want to! Sure, it’s not going to be the least expensive thing you do in Alaska, but we guarantee you won’t regret it, and we guarantee amazing photos!
Chugach State Park

Walkabout: Girdwood
-Too many places to list here! We’ve got a bunch of cool spots we’ve scouted over the years and depending on the weather and lighting conditions and how much time we’re given, we’ll make sure you end up with a lot of cool stuff and a good variety of scenes. One of the most requested is Moose Meadows, which you’ll see a lot of here. But beware: It is often muddy and wet most of the summer!
Girdwood Ceremonies
-Need a place to have a small wedding ceremony? Girdwood has a lot of hidden gems that few people know about. We can suggest some options and give you the pros and cons of each. Flowery meadows, in the middle of the rainforest, or right on the edge of the ocean.. Girdwood has it all.
