It’s a fair question—and one I get a lot! But here’s the thing: even intimate elopements can last 8–12+ hours. Why? Because this is your wedding day—not just a photoshoot. You deserve space to slow down, be fully present, and soak in every part of the experience.

Most couples want more than just the ceremony photographed. Think: getting ready in a cozy cabin, reading private vows before hiking to a viewpoint, sharing a post-ceremony picnic or champagne pop, a first dance under the stars, or golden hour portraits in a second location. These moments tell your whole story—and that’s what I’m here to capture.

Your gallery becomes a time capsule, not just for you, but for the friends and family who couldn’t be there. It helps everyone feel what you felt. And that’s the true value of full-day coverage.

I promise you this will not feel like an all day photoshoot. My style is very documentary and candid, it's not about forcing you into any uncomfortable poses. We will craft a day filled with things you love so you can actually enjoy it and soak in every moment. You can rest assured knowing I am photographing all your memories so you can relive your day after it's over.

Not at all. Banff and the Rockies are full of stunning locations with little to no hiking involved. Whether you're down for a sunrise hike or prefer something easily accessible, we’ll find the perfect spot for you.

That’s totally okay! “Adventurous” doesn’t have to mean hiking 10km or climbing a mountain. To me, it means being open to doing something meaningful, something that reflects you. Whether you want to canoe on a calm lake, stroll through a forest, or just enjoy a slow, quiet morning together in the mountains—I’ll help craft a day that feels right for you.

Totally get it—most of my couples say the same thing! That’s why my job is to make you feel comfortable from the very start. I guide you with gentle prompts, never stiff poses, and we keep things light and easy.

You don’t have to perform. You just get to be yourselves—and the magic naturally follows.

Weather is the great wild card of elopements, so to ease the stress this may cause, I offer free rescheduling (subject to availability) for if the weather prevents your elopement from taking place. If we aren't able to reschedule the whole day or pivot the location, I'll offer a free one-hour session on another day of your trip to get dressed up again and take those beautiful photos.

I don’t—and here’s why.

You’re choosing to elope because you want something intentional and authentic—an experience focused on you, not a copy-paste package. All-inclusive elopements often come with strict timelines, pre-selected vendors, and limited location options. They’re designed for efficiency, not individuality.

I believe your elopement should be one-of-a-kind because you are. Your love story deserves more than a template.

Instead of boxing you into someone else’s version of a wedding day, I work with you to create a custom experience that reflects who you are. I’ll help you find trustworthy local vendors, recommend stunning and meaningful locations, and guide you every step of the way—so you still get support without sacrificing your vision.

Let’s plan something that feels like you, not like everyone else.✨

Some couples have booked me just 1 month out, while others have planned up to 2 years in advance.

If you have a specific date, season, or location in mind—especially during peak times like summer or  fall—I recommend reaching out 6–12 months in advance to secure your spot. That said, if you're planning something more last-minute, don’t hesitate to inquire! If I have the date open, I’m always happy to make it work.

To secure your date, I require a $1500 non-refundable retainer and a signed contract. The remaining balance is due 2 weeks before your elopement. Payment is easy and all done online through a secure system.

Once we’ve chatted and you’re ready to move forward, I’ll send everything over to make it official!

Absolutely! While Banff is my home base, I photograph elopements all over Alberta, and beyond—including Kananaskis, Nordegg, BC, and even international destinations. If your heart is set on a different landscape, I’m all in.

It’s a collaboration! Once I get to know you a bit and understand your vibe, I’ll send you a curated list of location options from my Banff Location Guide (with over 200+ ideas including hidden gems, private spots, and classic favorites). You make the final call—I’m just here to help you choose a spot that feels like you.

Absolutely! Eloping doesn’t have to mean just the two of you. If having your closest people there feels right, I’ll help you plan a day that includes them in a meaningful and stress-free way.

In Banff National Park, ceremonies are allowed with up to 20 people, including your photographer and any other vendors. Whether you want to share vows privately first, then celebrate with loved ones—or have everyone with you the whole time—I’ll help you build a timeline that fits your vision and keeps the day relaxed and intentional.

You’ll receive a sneak peek gallery within 48 hours, and your full gallery within 6-8 weeks, guaranteed. I know how exciting it is to relive your day—so fast turnaround times are a priority for me!

This changes based on each package. You can expect roughly 50 high quality edited images per hour of coverage. Every moment I capture is carefully selected and edited with love, so you’re left with a gallery that truly tells the full story of your day.

Absolutely! I’ll send you a copy of my Banff Location + Travel Guide—which includes things to do, hikes, activities, lodging, food recs, hot springs, and more. I’ve lived and adventured here for 5+ years, and I love helping couples turn their elopement trip into a full-on getaway.
