Hello, I am Halie!
Alaska is my home, and I can’t wait to share its beauty with you. I’m obsessed with glaciers and spend as much of my summer on them as possible. I’m an adventurer at heart, an empath, and a big planner, so you can count on me to be there for you on your heli elopement day.
It’s an honor to capture love stories, and I can’t wait to tell yours! Let’s take your love on a wild adventure.

Your Heli Elopement - Comments
There is a possibility to reschedule your glacier wedding in Alaska by +-2 days if conditions are unsuitable for flying.
The trail snacks, the picnic lunch, and the a champagne is exclusive for the couples only.
LGBTQ+ friendly: I believe everyone is an adventurer and deserves to love freely.
There is a possibility to get legally married: I can sign as your officiant, or your pilot can serve as the officiant for your glacier wedding in Alaska ceremony. I can also recommend officiants or assist in getting a family member or friend ordained.
Be sure to file your marriage license application ahead of time. After your glacier wedding in Alaska, return it by mail within three days to receive your marriage certificate. It’s a straightforward and relatively easy process if you allow at least a month to submit the initial application for your marriage license.

Your Glacier Wedding in Alaska - Tips & Info
Your helicopter can hold 300 lbs per seat, with the maximum weight capacity depending on the pilot. If we exceed the weight limit, we will need to upgrade to a larger helicopter.
It’s important to bring the right layers for your heli elopement adventure. In the summer months, pack a rain jacket in case of bad weather, and in the winter, bring warm layers and good gloves. Your custom packing list will provide more details based on the month you elope!
Be excited and stay open to any Plan B that may come your way. Going with the flow and allowing nature to do its thing will help reduce stress and make your heli elopement day even more fun!
