Intimate alaska homestead wedding

Have you ever experienced a love so deep that it seems to flow like a river, connecting two souls in a way that is undeniable? Marissa and Josh, fishermen who share a passion for food and nature, recently celebrated their love in a breathtakingly intimate wedding in the picturesque town of Homer, Alaska.

As I arrived at the homestead where their wedding was taking place, I could feel the love and intentionality in the air. The setting was perfect – surrounded by towering mountains and lush greenery, it was clear that every detail had been carefully thought out to reflect the couple's unique connection to the land and each other.

Marissa and Josh's love story is like something out of a fairytale. They met while working on a fishing boat in the icy waters of Alaska, and their connection was instant and undeniable. Their shared love for food and nature brought them together, and they have been inseparable ever since.

The day of their wedding was filled with personal touches that spoke to the authenticity of their relationship. From the handmade decorations to the locally sourced food that was caught by the couple themselves, every aspect of the day was a true reflection of who they are as individuals and as a couple.

As I captured their special day on film, I couldn't help but be drawn in by the genuine love and connection that radiated from Marissa and Josh. Every glance, every touch, every smile was filled with such honesty and wholesomeness that it was impossible not to be moved by their love story.

In a world filled with cookie-cutter weddings and over-the-top extravagance, Marissa and Josh's wedding was a breath of fresh air. It was a reminder that love is not about grand gestures or expensive details, but about the simple moments shared between two people who are truly meant to be together.

As I looked through the photos from their wedding, I was struck by the nostalgia and warmth that seemed to seep from every frame. The film photography captured the day in a way that felt timeless and ethereal, like something out of a dream.

Marissa and Josh's intimate wedding in Homer, Alaska was a reminder of the power of love and the beauty of authenticity. Their commitment to each other and to creating a day that was meaningful and intentional was truly inspiring, and I feel grateful to have been able to capture their love story in a way that will stand the test of time.

Marissa and Josh’s connection to the water and the fishing way of life is truly tangible. They are so interconnected not only with their local fishing community but also with the local ecosystem on a incredibly intimate level. Being in the presence of it is so special and such an honor. Because of this, there was nothing more fitting than to do a day after portrait session on their finishing boat, Sable.
