Getting Ready at Paradise Bungalows, Lake Louise

The day began tucked away in the quiet charm of Paradise Bungalows in Lake Louise. The cozy mountain cabins were the perfect spot for Amanda and Jen to get ready separately, surrounded by the peaceful sounds of nature and a few happy tears. Amanda’s sister helped with the final touches, and their son’s excitement added a joyful energy to the morning. The excitement in the air was contagious — it was finally happening.

A Private Ceremony at Bow Lake

With the mountains as their witnesses, Amanda and Jen exchanged vows at a quiet, private location on the edge of Bow Lake. The turquoise water shimmered behind them, and the stillness of the moment was powerful. Amanda’s sister and their son stood nearby, sharing in the emotion of the ceremony. It felt like time slowed down as they promised forever to each other in the crisp alpine air, surrounded by the people who mattered most.‍

Adventure to Peyto Lake‍

After the ceremony, we laced up our boots and hiked up to the iconic viewpoint overlooking Peyto Lake. The view never disappoints — sweeping glaciers, wild valleys, and that signature wolf-head shape of the lake. Amanda and Jen, glowing with joy, shared quiet laughs and adventurous spirit as we captured portraits surrounded by the raw beauty of the Rockies.

A private helicopter flight with Rockies Heli to a remote mountaintop location that took our breath away. It felt like we had the entire world to ourselves. The wind whipped around us as Amanda and Jen danced, laughed, and soaked in the views from high above it all. The photos we captured up there are some of the most powerful and awe-inspiring I’ve ever taken.‍

A Day That Was Entirely Theirs

Amanda and Jen’s elopement was the perfect blend of intimacy and adventure — a day created entirely around what felt right for them. No timelines, no pressure, just love, connection, and the wild heart of the Rockies.

Having their son and Amanda’s sister there made it even more special — a small but mighty celebration that felt rich with meaning, love, and memory.

These are the kinds of days that remind me why I do what I do. Amanda and Jen, thank you for trusting me to be part of your incredible journey. Your love is as bold and beautiful as the mountains you stood on.
