Nestled in the Chugach Mountains, Raven Glacier Lodge offers a serene, picturesque backdrop for your big day. Tawni and Rob chose this venue for its rustic charm and breathtaking views.

The day began with quiet, heartfelt moments as Tawni and Rob prepared for their ceremony. Tawni slipped into her elegant gown, her excitement mirrored by the serene forest outside the window.

The Ceremony: Love by the Pond

The outdoor ceremony featured the peaceful pond and lush forest as a natural backdrop. Sunlight filtered through the towering trees, creating a dreamy, ethereal atmosphere.

Even though the trees hadn’t fully turned, the seasonal touches created a cozy vibe. Tawni and Rob exchanged vows surrounded by close family and friends. Their words were filled with heartfelt emotion. It’s moments like these that make photographing a Raven Glacier Lodge wedding so special—the combination of raw nature and genuine love is unmatched.

Breathtaking Portraits in the Alaskan Wilderness

After the ceremony, we explored the nearby trails and scenic spots for their portrait session. Towering evergreens, mossy forest floors, ferns, and a gentle creek surrounded us. Every shot felt like it belonged in a fairytale. The fallen leaves added charm to the already stunning landscape. Tawni’s flowing gown contrasted beautifully with the rugged Alaskan backdrop. Rob’s tender glances made every frame feel intimate and personal.
