We’ll get to know you two so we can help you create a day that checks off everything on your wish list and feels so true to you, you couldn’t have imagined it happening any other way.
We understand that getting your photo professionally taken might make you feel awkward at first, so the name of our game is easing your nerves and making you feel present with your partner all while giving you clear direction so the photos come out better than you imagined. No stiff posing necessary.
Because you don’t want photos that feel like a formal photoshoot. Instead you want an entire gallery of photos that help you relive the entirety your day: the setting, the florals, your outfits, and all the details you spent so much time thoughtfully planning.
Morning coffee, the crossword puzzle you do together every week, the quiet getting ready moments in the cozy cabin you rented, the end of the evening hot tub underneath the lights. Or maybe you got your dog custom embroidered on a pair of shoes, or etched into cufflinks.. Whatever you dream up for your day, we are here to document it all.

You’ll have so many ideas for how to make your elopement day extra special, so you’re left starry-eyed, not scrambling.

"The pictures turned out BEAUTIFULLY and are better than we ever imagined." - Amy & Jack
An elopement is a non-traditional and intentional way to get married. This can really mean whatever you want it to. The focus will be completely on you and your partner and you will spend the day doing what you love together. Every couple is unique, so every elopement will be unique.
Absolutely not! There are so many beautiful locations in the Rockies here that don’t require any hiking. If you don’t want to spend all day hiking, we could spend all day fishing, picnicking, or meandering. The options are endless and the most important thing is that you craft a day that is true to you.
As soon as you can! We open our bookings in January for the following year and have a limited number of elopements and intimate weddings we take on for each year. September always books out first, so the earlier the better for fall in the Rockies. That being said, we’ve booked elopements as little as two weeks out, so don’t hesitate to reach out if you’re planning a last minute event! We would love to help you plan and capture the day.
Parks Canada allows a maximum of 20 people to be there for all elopement permits. It makes for such a cozy way to celebrate with your absolute favourite people.
No all day photoshoots here! Your day will be full of the activities that you like doing together and we will be a fly on the wall for those moments, quietly documenting the moments that the two of you are sharing. Our process involves a lot of us getting to know each other so that you both have the space to be completely yourselves and in the moment.
Mountain weather can be unpredictable and we are a big fan of embracing whatever Mother Nature throws at us (safely though, of course).
Nope! To get married in Alberta there are no residency or citizenship requirements. You can check this website for more information - https://www.alberta.ca/get-marriage-licence.aspx and we are more than willing to help walk you through the process.
