Josh & Vic are having an intimate wedding in 2025 but still wanted some mountain wedding photos so we headed out to a backcountry hut this summer to get some. We all spent 3 days there together, soaking in the solitude, playing cards, exploring, eating, and doing both sunset and sunrise photos up on the mountain behind the hut. It was perfect.

This is just a small peek into our time out there and honestly, I just love the relaxed vibes of having days out there to create and have fun. 10/10 recommend.

And remember, you can do whatever you want to for your day.. if you are having a wedding with friends and family and you still want a “just us” experience, YOU CAN. Take that time and be intentional and have the best of both worlds. We can do whatever you want, don’t limit yourself to just one day or just one wedding experience.

And if you want to chat about a hut elopement in 2025, DM me and we can get started planning. My 2025 is booking up but I still have time for some fun adventurous elopements so get in touch! I can’t wait to help you have your dream elopement 🤍

A little preview of D&N’s day from earlier this week ✨❤️

When they first reached out to me, they were in the very beginning stages of planning and they were trying to figure out exactly what they wanted to do.. stuck between having a mountain elopement but also wanting a fun family and friend celebration. They found some inspo in a blog of mine from last year and immediately knew that both was possible.

We started the day at sunrise above a mountain lake where they read personal vows and had some just them time out in nature. We hit up another mountain lake for some more portraits and fun before heading back into Banff. The family portion of the day was so sweet, with a ceremony at Tunnel Mountain and then suuuchhh a fun reception at .ca. These two know how to party!

I can’t wait to share more from their day and also a reminder to anyone else planning their own special day right now.. you can literally whatever you want and make all of your dreams happen. Whether that looks like splitting up your day with some just you two time before family time or taking two days to celebrate just exactly how you want. The possibilities are endless ✨

A few horizontal previews from last weeks sunrise proposal in Banff NP.

Alex and I have been planning this since April and I’m so happy that we ended up having such a perfect morning for it. The fog on the lake, the clear skies, the calm water, it was all just so stunning. And she was surprised 🙌🏻

Congratulations you two!

Barefoot down by the water is always a good place to be

A snowy June proposal for this sweet couple all the way from Singapore.

We certainly weren’t expecting the snow but it was so soft and fluffy and just the perfect addition to their evening. They were such troopers with the cold and so excited to get engaged during their trip to the Rockies.

Congrats you two! ❤️❤️

She wanted snow and did it ever snow 😍😍

This was day 1 with these two. Private vows and just them adventure before celebrating with friends and family on day 2. I love it when couples break up their days like this so that can really have that intentional time together and then the next day, be all in celebrating with loved ones.

Team sunrise, always and forever. What a perfect way to start an incredibly special day.

My castle obsession has increased dramatically since our trip to Germany and now I’m dying to go back and shoot more at the .

These two booked a night there last March for a little getaway to celebrate 10 years together and 5 married. They wanted a redo of their wedding photos in a dress she loved this time and this was the result 😍

So if anyone wants some castle-y photos here in Banff.. let’s do it 🙌🏻

Who else is excited for the lakes to thaw and to get back out there?

This Jasper National Park will always hold a special place in my heart. These two were the cutest and succchhh troopers on a 38C day 🥵

On another note, Parks Canada announced a few days ago that water bodies in Yoho and Kootenay National Park will be closed for watercraft and angling until March 2025 to reduce the further spread of whirling disease. This means no canoes or other recreational watercrafts on Emerald Lake this summer. So heads up if you had planned on that.

Stricter measures are also in place at Waterton Lakes National Park now. You can’t bring any non-motorized watercraft from outside the park onto the water bodies in the park (so canoes, SUPs, etc).

We all have to do our part to protect the parks so before you bring your equipment into the parks that still allow it, make sure you follow all the water activity rules and regulations. These can be found online.

I can’t wait to (safely) get out on the lakes in canoes with some of my couples this year 😍

Only 4 more months until warm mornings in Banff like this are here again 🔥

I am so excited that I will be back at this favourite lake of mine so much this summer with couples. It’s going to be a season for the books!

I still have some 2024 availability, so send me a DM if you want to get the ball rolling on planning your dream elopement day!

This sunrise proposal in Banff though 😍

We had such a frosty and pretty sunrise and such a special surprise! We took some photos at Two Jack and then headed over to Lake Minnewanka for the fall colours that were still on display. Fall in Banff is the best!

Congrats you two and I can’t wait to see photos from your wedding this fall 😍😍
