Alaska Wedding, Elopement & Portrait Photography

At Windswept Studio, I create romantic wedding, elopement, engagement, and portrait photography throughout Palmer, Wasilla, the Mat-Su Valley, and Alaska’s most breathtaking landscapes.

From intimate mountain elopements and adventurous engagement sessions to timeless portraits, every experience is designed to feel natural, beautiful, and true to your story.

With nearly two decades behind the camera, Christal blends gentle direction, thoughtful posing, and an eye for beautiful light to create images that feel effortless, elegant, and timeless.

THE EXPERIENCE

You don’t need to know how to pose or feel comfortable in front of a camera. I want the real you to come out.

Sessions can include:

• Alaska weddings & intimate elopements
• Mountain, glacier, and coastal engagement sessions
• Romantic couple portraits
• Senior portraits
• Professional headshots & branding imagery

Windswept Studio is a Palmer, Alaska wedding photography studio creating romantic wedding, elopement, and engagement imagery throughout Alaska’s mountains, glaciers, and wild landscapes.

Hello! I’m Christal.

What started as a love for photography more than two decades ago has grown into a passion for creating portraits that feel genuine, beautiful, and true to the person in front of my camera.

Living in Alaska gives us an incredible backdrop — from windswept riverbeds and mountain views to waterfalls and fields of fireweed. Every session is thoughtfully planned around your personality, style, and the places that feel like you.

My goal is simple: to help you feel comfortable, guide you through the process, and create timeless images that capture this season of your life exactly as you’ll want to remember it.
