Unique Eco-Friendly Alaska Wedding...

I instantly fell hard for this spectacular wedding shot by Jana Morgan. The couple, Genarita and Brent, held their intimate and eco-friendly wedding in Homer, Alaska. Homer is also where they recently built a home together...with their own bare hands! Yes, I said they built a home with their own bare hands. Their home is totally off the grid- no running water, no electricity, none of the stuff most of us rely on daily. Their wedding was also eco-friendly, with most of the elements being recyclable and reusable.



Genarita's dress was handmade by her mother.


Sigh...look at that amazing view!


This is Genarita and Brent's home. It was almost finished at the time of the wedding; just a few finishing touches remained.


Genarita made her bouquet by collecting flowers and weeds (who knew weeds could be so gorgeous?!) from the lot surrounding the couple's new home.


The homemade jelly given as a favor to guests was also made by Genarita. It contained fireweed gathered from around her home.


Genarita's sister made the table runners used throughout the wedding. She was unable to attend though, because she went into labor!


Genarita made all the dream catchers used for reception decor herself.


All of the logs that the food was displayed on were turned into firewood after the wedding.


Genarita's mother also made the cake.


Their photographer, Jana Morgan, put together this awesome fusion piece with bits of video and still photos weaved together.
