Family always comes first to me, a value my grandpa instilled in all of us from day one. So, when my cousin first got engaged and his fiancée asked if I would photograph their winter elopement, to say I was overjoyed is an understatement! The wedding at Alyeska Resort was bound to be beautiful, but I didn’t anticipate the moody romantic vibes that would envelop the couple’s special day. Dylan and Elliot met on the jujutsu floor and fell in love while grappling each other into submission. Over the last couple of years, through family dinners, I grew close to Dylan, her kind love for our family, and their adorable grand dog, whom they brought to their Christmas card session with me last year.
Dylan & Elliot’s Winter Elopement
Dylan & Elliot have always been bold and energetically themselves in every way. When Dylan was asked to describe her and Elliot’s winter elopement at Alyeska Resort in Girdwood, Alaska, she summed it up better than I ever could: “Moody and romantic, a pinch of Morticia Adams, a heavy dose of Great Gatsby, a dash of Noir, a smattering of Ethereal, and a healthy pour of Glamour.” She just forgot to mention the totally uncalled-for twenty-inch snowstorm that hit their venue the night before and an additional ten inches that fell during their ceremony!
A Winter Dream
While the wedding party got ready, guests enjoyed a perfect powder day skiing at Alyeska Resort and showed up in the NINES to celebrate Elliot and Dylan’s bold and elegant winter elopement. The unexpected snowfall added a magical touch to an already beautiful day. The snow-covered landscape turned the event into a true winter wonderland, creating an unforgettable backdrop for the couple’s vows. The snowstorm may have been unplanned, but it only added to the beauty and uniqueness of Dylan and Elliot’s special day!

This celebration was not just about two people coming together in love; it was about welcoming Dylan into our family. Her warmth and kindness have touched everyone, and we couldn’t be happier to have her officially as part of our family. Cheers to Dylan and Elliot’s beautiful love!
