Arctic Intimacy

Kachemak Bay, Alaska

A two-person elopement carried by floatplane across Kachemak Bay. Vows exchanged on a remote shoreline, the engine cooling on the water behind them.

They wanted no audience but the bay. We chartered a 1956 de Havilland Beaver, landed in a cove with no name, and spent the afternoon walking the tideline.

The weather turned, as it always does. They wrapped themselves in wool, read their vows from a single folded card, and were married inside the cabin of the plane.

Some weddings are loud and full. This one was quiet, and complete.
