Canmore Elopement Photographer

Say hello to adventuring the way you want with who you want! A day to celebrate your love for ONE-ANOTHER your way!

Canmore Elopements


I can’t wait to be your Canmore Elopement Photographer! Capturing your love story amidst the stunning landscapes of the Canadian Rocky Mountains and beyond!

There’s something incredibly energizing about the intimacy of an Elopement. Whether it’s just the two of you or a small circle of friends and family (under 20 guests/vendors), there’s a freedom in breaking away from traditional wedding norms and celebrating in a way that just feels right!

Imagine exchanging vows with each other and spending the afternoon adventuring together, capturing those special moments along the way. I’m here to help craft your dream elopement.

If you’re laid-back and envision a day that truly reflects that spirit, I’m here to make it unforgettable.

Whether your elopement unfolds in Canmore, Calgary, Banff, Kananaskis, Lake Louise, Emerald Lake, or a dreamy Destination around the world, I’d be honored to document your love story!

Let’s plan a day that reflects your connection and feels like you!

So you want to Elope!


Every elopement I photograph – and help bring to life – is entirely one-of-a-kind.

  1. Eloping is about choosing an intentional, deeply personal way to get married.
  2. It’s about focusing on what truly matters to you – creating an experience that feels effortless, intimate, and unforgettable.
  3. Whether it’s a quiet moment in a breathtaking landscape or an elegant celebration with your closest people, eloping is about designing a day that feels luxurious, meaningful, and completely yours.

This isn’t just any wedding day – it’s a curated experience built around your connection, your story, and your vision. It can be as laid-back or as detailed as you’d like.

You get to do this your way – and I’m here to help make it incredible.
Let’s start dreaming up your day.

Frequently asked QUESTIONS

Absolutely not! I capture elopements all over the world. While Canmore, Banff, and the stunning Canadian Rockies are incredibly popular – thanks to those jaw-dropping mountain views, crystal-clear turquoise lakes, and even the occasional mountain goat – I’m always up for an adventure, no matter the destination.
I’ve been lucky enough to shoot elopements in some truly magical places. In France, I documented an intimate ceremony at a charming chateau just outside Paris. In Italy, I’ve captured moments in the romantic canals of Venice, and explored the beautiful coastal town of Monterosso, where a couple ran barefoot along the beach and wandered through the picturesque streets. I’ve also had the privilege of shooting a dreamy beach elopement in St. Lucia—talk about paradise!
Each destination offers its own unique charm, and I’d be thrilled to help you create your dream elopement, wherever that may be!

Yes, I’d love to help you plan your elopement! I offer both photography-only packages and fully planned elopements. For the fully planned options, I can assist with vendor recommendations, location ideas, a custom timeline for the day, and even decor setup. All of my packages are fully customizable to fit your vision! For elopements outside of Canada I offer custom quotes with all travel fees included so there aren’t any additional fees later! Inquire for details!

It’s best to book as soon as you have your date set! The timing can vary depending on the details of your elopement (e.g., is it a long weekend or an international location like Europe?). On average, couples book anywhere from 6 months to 2 years in advance.
Most of my couples have flexible dates, so we can choose the best time of year for the location they’ve chosen.
Booking process:
Photo-only elopements are typically booked 1 week to 2 year in advance.
Fully planned elopements are generally booked 3 weeks to 2 years in advance.
Because I work on a first-come, first-served basis, I can’t hold a date without receiving the retainer.
I’d love to be part of your elopement, so let’s secure your date as soon as you’re ready!

Absolutely! My bags are packed and ready to go! Feel free to reach out for details on my International & Destination Elopement packages. All Destination Elopements are custom-priced based on location and the coverage you’re dreaming of, so let’s create something as unique as your love!
Two of my all-time favorite elopements took place in St. Lucia – sun, sand, and lush rainforests, the perfect backdrop for an unforgettable day. And in Canmore, where gusty winds swirled across the lake as my couple exchanged vows, their first kiss falling just as the rain began to fall. It was pure magic to capture those intimate moments!
Every destination has its own magic, and I’d love to help dream up yours.

We’ve had the pleasure of capturing some stunning helicopter elopements, and we’d love to do the same for you! Whether you need help planning the entire experience or just want us to photograph it, we offer both options.

In the Canadian Rockies, elopements are defined by intimacy. To align with Parks Canada regulations, your group must be 20 people or fewer, including both guests and vendors. This helps protect the natural environment and ensures an unforgettable experience for everyone.​
For detailed guidelines and regulations, please refer to Parks Canada’s official page.
