nicole / the alaska retreat

This is my 4th retreat with Andrea and no one does it better. Not only did we get to photograph in the most epic places, the couples and styling she chooses is unmatched. I really enjoyed having the freedom to stay where I wanted and she is so amazing at communication and logistics. We literally just have to show up and everything is taken care of for us. The photos are some of my best work and I left so inspired. She also attracts the best group of people and I left with new friends. The group was small enough that we all felt comfortable and were able to direct if we wanted. I can to believe how much content and experiences she gave us in three days. Mountain treks, helicopter trip to a glacier, horse back riding on the beach and riding in a float plane?! All pinch me moments! 10/10 will recommend forever. If I am able, I will be at every retreat Andrea plans because I wholeheartedly trust her to give me an experience and content of a lifetime.

The breakdown

6 shoots total / each shoot is 2 hours long

matanuska glacier

we’ll be taking a private, 4-hour hiking tour onto the matanuska glacier, shooting while we hike, to reach the location where the helicopter will meet us (weather-permitting). once we’ve finished shooting with the helicopter, we will begin our hike back to the parking lot. our models can sit inside + pose with the helicopter.

horse trek

we have a 3-hour horse trek reserved where we’ll be riding a side-by-side out to our shoot location, situated on a beach in front of gorgeous mountain views. you have the option to ride a horse to our location instead for an additional $300. the models will be riding and posing with the horses.

if you’d like to experience the horse trek yourself, you can ride your own horse to our location and back for an additional $300.

hatcher pass

hatcher pass has some of the most jaw-dropping, panoramic mountain views alaska has to offer and we’ll be right in the middle of it all.

a-frame cabin

taking a break from hiking, our couple will elope at the black cabin in palmer, ak and then strip down and jump in the hot tub at the end of the shoot.

float plane

the float plane will take off from anchorage and meet us at a beautiful lake. the plane will park at the beach so our couple can post on + in it as well.

you can pay an additional $300 to ride in the float plane to the lake and back. this will be an epic opportunity to see alaska’s landscape from above and there are only 3 spots available!

chugach mountains

A woman in a white wedding dress with a lace veil and a woman in a dark suit share an intimate moment, with the woman in the suit kissing the woman in the dress on the cheek and the other woman gazing at the camera with a serious expression.

another mountain shoot, but farther south and a whole different landscape. this location is south of anchorage and has the most incredible views.
