Banff Elopement Photographer
Adventure weddings + elopements in the Canadian Rocky Mountains
Hi, I’m Laura!
I am a Banff elopement photographer capturing breathtaking images from the Canadian Rockies and beyond. My passion is blending stunning landscapes and your unique love story into captivating memories. I’m for the couples looking for something a bit different than the big traditional wedding. Whatever you love to do in life, should be a part of your wedding day. I love people who aren’t afraid to get some mud on their clothes or do a little hiking to get an epic shot. Whether you are looking to take a helicopter for the first time, say your vows in front of a waterfall in Iceland, hike up a mountain at sunrise, or experience somewhere new in the world, I want to hear from you.
Let’s create something beautiful together.
Crafting unforgettable adventures
Your day.
Your way.
The Adventure of a Lifetime
An adventure elopement is a choice to skip having a traditional wedding and instead, have an adventurous experience in the great outdoors. When you work with me as your elopement photographer, we talk about your preferred landscape and if you want to hike, take a helicopter, hit the backcountry, or go to an amazing lookout so I can help create the best possible day for you. While I am there to capture epic photos, your elopement should be about more than just the photos. We will craft an unforgettable experience together that will fill you with a sense of excitement and amazement that you will remember for a lifetime.
Does this sound like you?
You and your partner tend to spend a lot of time outside together, going for adventures and valuing time in nature. Maybe a big wedding and being the centre of attention in front of a lot of people just doesn’t feel right. Perhaps you like the idea of making your wedding day an adventure rather than doing a traditional wedding, and envision a day that truly represents you and your relationship. A day where you can say your vows privately, and speak from the heart. A day with no expectations or stress. If so, let’s chat and make it happen!
“Book Laura! Book her now and come back and read why you made the best decision for your big day.”

My Principles
Love is universal and should not be judged based on gender, sexual orientation, race, or any other factor. No matter what you or your love looks like, let’s celebrate.
There are no guarantees when doing an adventure elopement, but I take every step possible to make sure we are safe. This includes having a satellite gps, bear spray, safety check ins, weather reports, and more.
I have a university degree in conservation biology, so I really care about our planet. I always practice “leave no trace”, meaning we leave our location how we found it, and I may even pick up others’ garbage along the way.
What your day could look like
3:00am – Wake up (It’s an early start but very worth it!)
4:00am – Hike up to your favourite mountain peak
6:00am – Get changed into your wedding clothes as the sun rises
6:30am – First look
7:00am – Sunrise couple portraits
8:00am – Share private vows with each other allowing you to really embrace the emotion
8:30am – Have a coffee with Baileys and enjoy the view
9:00am – Change and hike down
11:00am – Meet family and friends at a close accessible location for an official ceremony (if you wish to included others)
