Weddings & Elopements in the Rockies

The Canadian Rockies are one of the most breathtaking places in the world to say “I do.” From the turquoise lakes of Banff to the quiet alpine meadows of Kananaskis, every corner is filled with once-in-a-lifetime backdrops. Photographing in the mountains takes extra care — with travel, permits, and changing weather — but the results are absolutely worth it.

My Rockies wedding and elopement packages are designed to make the process stress-free. I’ll guide you through choosing the perfect location, navigating permits, and planning your timeline so you can focus on celebrating while I capture every moment.

Your wedding day deserves to be documented with heart. I capture the connection between two people surrounded by Alberta’s breathtaking scenery — from mountain peaks to forest trails and lakeside vows. Whether you’re eloping in Canmore, celebrating in Banff, or planning an intimate mountain gathering, my goal is to tell your story with timeless, emotion-filled imagery that lets you relive every moment for years to come.
