Some weddings transport you to another world entirely, and Jamie and Jeremi's celebration at Raven Glacier Lodge was pure Alaskan magic. On June 16th, we ventured into Alaska's breathtaking wilderness to capture their intimate mountain wedding, and what an incredible day it turned out to be.
A Wilderness Wedding Unlike Any Other
Raven Glacier Lodge provided the most spectacular backdrop imaginable for Jamie and Jeremi's special day. Nestled in Alaska's pristine wilderness, the lodge offered stunning mountain vistas and that authentic Alaskan experience that makes for truly unforgettable wedding photography. The remote location created an intimate atmosphere where the couple could focus entirely on each other and their closest loved ones.
A Ceremony Filled with Meaning and Tradition
What made this wedding truly extraordinary was Jamie and Jeremi's incredible dedication to tradition and symbolism. The couple had spent months carefully folding 998 paper cranes to signify a long and harmonious marriage, displaying them beautifully around both the ceremony and reception areas at Raven Glacier Lodge. But the most touching moment came when they stood before their friends and family to fold the final two cranes together – completing the traditional 1,000 cranes as an extraordinary show of unity and love.
Sometimes love takes work and patience, but in the end, the bond between two people who have labored in love together will always be strong. Watching Jamie and Jeremi fold those last two cranes together was a powerful reminder of this truth, and capturing that moment was absolutely magical.
Capturing Love in Alaska's Wilderness
Beyond this beautiful tradition, Jamie and Jeremi embraced every aspect of their mountain lodge celebration. From getting ready surrounded by towering peaks to saying their vows with Alaska's rugged beauty as witness, every moment felt intentional and deeply meaningful.
The natural lighting throughout the day was absolutely incredible – there's something about that crisp mountain air and the way light plays across the Alaska landscape that creates the most romantic, ethereal images. We were able to capture some truly breathtaking portraits that showcase both their love story and the raw beauty of their chosen venue.
All-Inclusive Mountain Elegance
Raven Glacier Lodge's catering perfectly complemented the wilderness setting, offering guests a taste of Alaska hospitality at its finest. Having everything handled on-site allowed Jamie and Jeremi to truly relax and enjoy their celebration without worrying about logistics – which always translates to more natural, joyful photographs.
