Intimate Kodiak Elopement: Courtney & Jake’s Cozy Airbnb Ceremony & Afternoon Shoot at Abercrombie
Some weddings are all about grandeur, but others—like Courtney and Jake’s—are about the simple, beautiful moments shared between two people in love. These two embraced the wild, untamed beauty of Kodiak for their intimate elopement, proving that all you really need is the right person, a breathtaking location, and a little adventure. They rented this cozy little Airbnb, said their vows with the ocean in the background, and then we headed out to Abercrombie for photos. And let me tell you—it was magic.
A Cozy Airbnb Ceremony
Courtney and Jake wanted a wedding that felt true to them—something private, meaningful, and deeply connected to nature. They booked a charming Airbnb tucked away in Kodiak, where they exchanged vows with only the closest of loved ones as witnesses. With the sound of waves in the distance and the soft glow of afternoon light streaming through the windows, their ceremony was nothing short of magical.
Chasing Golden Light at Fort Abercrombie
After saying "I do," we ventured out to Abercrombie for their post-ceremony portraits. The afternoon light filtered through the trees, the ocean breeze kicked up just enough to give Courtney’s dress that perfect windswept look, and Jake couldn’t stop grinning at her. We wandered along the trails, took in the beautiful coastal views, and captured the kind of moments that feel real—nothing stiff or overly posed, just them, in their element.
If you’re dreaming of a wedding day that’s simple, stunning, and all about you two, Kodiak is the place. Let’s make it happen. Shoot me a message!
Ellen shot our engagement and elopement in Kodiak and we had so much fun with her. The photos turned out amazing and we really love them. Thank you for capturing our day so beautifully.
