A Wintery Lapland Elopement

Kavoos and Diana had the burning desire to hold an adventurous Lapland elopement!  This in itself was rather brave considering they are California natives and during winter northern Finland is below freezing and they are in full swing of “polar nights” which means the sun doesn’t actually rise and daylight hours are between 1-2 hours.

A Lapland Elopement

Your Adventure Wedding planned an epic adventure wedding day for them at the Kakslauttanen Igloo Resort.  They began their elopement morning in their gorgeous Kelo-Glass Igloo and then had a beautifully styled ceremony in a glass teepee.  Following their ceremony, they were lucky enough to spot the Northern Lights and went around exploring the the resort for their wedding portraits. Next on their adventure wedding agenda was a dog sledding safari followed by warming up next to a fire with some champagne and kisses!  After the warm-up break, they were treated to a perfectly styled dinner for two, themed around their Lapland adventure.  As nighttime continued, they went out to hunt more Northern Lights via reindeer!  Instead they found a snow storm, but it was just as dreamy!
