Your Wedding, Without the Stress: All Inclusive Banff Elopement Packages
There is something incredibly special about getting married in Banff. Maybe it’s standing beside an alpine lake with jagged peaks rising around you. Maybe it’s hiking together through the wilderness and exchanging vows somewhere you’ve never been before. Or maybe it’s flying by helicopter into a remote mountain landscape where the only witnesses are the mountains, the sky, and the person you love.
As a photographer who lives in the Canadian Rockies, I don’t just want to photograph your elopement. I want to help you create a day that feels completely yours.
That’s exactly why I offer all-inclusive Banff elopement packages designed for couples who want an adventurous, meaningful wedding experience without having to plan every little detail themselves.
What Is an All Inclusive Banff Elopement?
An all-inclusive elopement takes all of the stress and uncertainty out of planning a destination wedding in the mountains.
Instead of searching for an officiant, hair and makeup artist, florist, photographer, locations, permits, and other vendors separately, I bring the important pieces together and tie it into one thoughtfully planned experience.
I help coordinate the details so you can spend less time worrying about logistics and more time enjoying the view – because they’re pretty exceptional here!
What’s Included in My All Inclusive Banff Elopement Packages
Your exact experience can be tailored to the adventure you have in mind, but all-inclusive packages include the key elements you need to create a beautiful, intentional wedding day.
- Professional elopement photography to document the adventure from start to finish
- Location and timeline planning based on your vision, accessibility, season, and the experience you want
- An officiant or celebrant to lead your ceremony
- Professional hair and makeup so you can feel incredible without having to coordinate another vendor
- Bridal florals and a boutonniere designed to complement your mountain setting
- Permit and logistics guidance to help navigate the requirements of getting married in the Canadian Rockies
- Vendor coordination and planning support so all the moving pieces work together
- Local recommendations for accommodation, restaurants and places to celebrate after your ceremony
Your accommodations are booked separately, giving you the freedom to choose the hotel, lodge, or cabin that best fits your trip and budget. I’m happy to provide recommendations for great local places to stay and some of my favourite restaurants for celebrating after you say “I do.”
And because every couple is different, I also offer photography-only options for couples who want to take on more of the planning themselves. Location scouting and recommendations is something that I offer to each of my couples, to help find the perfect place for you.
Why Choose an All Inclusive Elopement Package?
Planning a wedding in the Canadian Rockies can be overwhelming, particularly if you’re travelling from outside Alberta and don’t understand what it takes to plan an adventure wedding in Banff.
There are locations to consider, permits and regulations to navigate, weather to think about, vendors to coordinate, timelines to build, and countless little details that can quickly become a full-time job.
That’s where I come in.
I live in Canmore and have spent years exploring and photographing the Canadian Rockies. I know the landscape, the realities of planning outdoor weddings here, and the importance of building a day that leaves room for the little moments that matter most.
I can help you choose a location that fits the experience you want, build a realistic timeline that gives you time to stop and enjoy the view, coordinate your vendors, and make sure all of the pieces work together.
My goal is for you to arrive in the Rockies feeling excited—not overwhelmed.
Get Married Somewhere That Feels Like You
Your day could be completely different from another couple’s – and that’s the point. You might want to hike into the mountains at sunrise, watching the first light spill across the peaks before saying your vows somewhere quiet and remote.
You might prefer an intimate ceremony beside an alpine lake, followed by champagne, portraits, and an afternoon exploring together.
Or perhaps you want to take the adventure to another level with a helicopter elopement, flying deep into the Rockies and landing somewhere that feels almost impossibly wild.
Your wedding day can be an adventure because your relationship is an adventure. I believe the best weddings aren’t about checking off a list of traditions. They’re about creating a memorable experience that reflects who you are as a couple.

Classic Banff Mountain Elopements
For couples who want the drama of the Rockies without the hike, a classic mountain elopement offers an unforgettable setting that’s easily accessible by car.
Think towering peaks and the turquoise waters of Moraine Lake, the sweeping alpine views and mountain valley vista of Peyto Lake, the rugged beauty and glacier views at Bow Lake, and a beautiful ceremony surrounded by the people who matter most! These locations allow you to bring up to 15 of your closest family and friends – if you wish – giving you the intimacy of an elopement without leaving your favourite people behind.
It’s the perfect balance of adventure, breathtaking scenery, and effortless celebration—a mountain wedding that feels intimate, meaningful, and completely unforgettable.
Hiking Elopements in Banff
For couples who feel most alive outdoors, a hiking elopement can be an incredible way to begin your marriage.
There’s something meaningful about earning the view together – waking up well before sunrise, hiking through the forest by moonlight, climbing above the treeline, and eventually standing somewhere at sunrise that feels completely removed from everyday life.
Whether you’re looking for a relatively accessible mountain location or a more adventurous experience, I’ll help you choose a setting and timeline that fit your vision.
No ballroom. No seating chart. No rushing from one obligation to the next.
Just the two of you, surrounded by the place you love.
Helicopter Elopements in the Canadian Rockies
If you’re looking for something truly unforgettable, a helicopter elopement brings some dramatic, incredible mountain landscapes within reach, and without the effort.
Fly beyond the crowds and land among towering peaks, glaciers, alpine lakes, and untouched wilderness – somewhere that would otherwise be incredibly difficult to reach.
Once we land, there’s no need to rush. You can exchange vows, explore, enjoy a champagne toast, take portraits, and simply be together in a place that feels completely removed from the rest of the world for 2 hours.
It’s not just about getting incredible photographs. It’s about having an incredible experience worth photographing.
Your Wedding Should Feel Like Yours
There is no right way to get married. You don’t have to invite 150 people because that’s what a wedding is “supposed” to look like. You don’t have to spend your day moving from one scheduled event to another. And you certainly don’t have to sacrifice the things you love just because they don’t fit a traditional wedding format.
If the mountains are where you feel most alive, why not get married there?
If hiking together is your favourite kind of date, why not make it part of your wedding day?
If adventure is at the heart of your relationship, why not begin your marriage with an adventure?
More Than Just Your Photographer
When you book an all-inclusive elopement package with me, my role goes beyond showing up with a camera.
I want to be your photographer, planner, location guide, timeline builder, problem solver, and mountain adventure buddy.
After years of working as a commercial photographer and videographer, I started photographing mountain weddings and elopements and quickly realized that this was where I wanted to be.
Canmore is home for me, and I have a borderline unhealthy love of being in the mountains.
That means I get to combine two things I love: helping couples create incredible wedding experiences and photographing the Rockies I’m lucky enough to call home.
My job is to make the complicated parts feel simple so that when your wedding day arrives, you can forget about the logistics and be present with each other.
Because those are the moments you’ll remember.
The wind moving through your hair.
The way you looked at each other before saying your vows.
The feeling of standing on top of a mountain together.
The laughter when things don’t go exactly according to plan.
And the realization that you’re officially beginning the next chapter of your life together.
