Banff Intimate Wedding & Elopement Photography
Helping couples create their dream elopement in the Rockies.
What is eloping?
Eloping is not running away to get married.
You’re creating an intentional wedding experience that allows you to be fully present with your partner, instead of caught up in expectations, timelines, or pressure.
Your day won’t look like anyone else’s. It can be hiking to a quiet viewpoint, horseback riding through the mountains, sharing a bottle of wine somewhere beautiful, or simply slowing down and taking it all in together.
Eloping is about stepping away from what’s expected, and choosing something that actually feels like you.
All-Inclusive Elopements
FOR COUPLES WHO WANT EVERYTHING HANDLED
→ Planning and vendors included
→ Thoughtfully curated locations and timelines
→ A seamless, hands-off experience
→ Ideal if you want to simply just show up and be present
You’ll receive thoughtfully curated planning guides, covering locations, activities, and unique ideas to add to your elopement day as inspiration so you can make confident decisions without the stress.
From helping you choose the right location and activities to connecting you with trusted vendors and sharing planning guides along the way, I’ve got the details covered.
Planning without the stress
Signature Experience
01
You’ll start with an in depth Experience Guide designed to bring clarity to what you want your day to look and feel like. Most couples don’t have a fully formed vision, so this is the first step in uncovering those details.
VISION & DISCOVERY
02
Once we understand your priorities, we can start designing your day together! I’ll send you curated location and activity suggestions, build out your timeline, and book your vendors.
EXPERIENCE DESIGN
03
You get to be fully present. I’ll gently guide when needed and step back when moments naturally unfold, documenting your connection without interrupting the experience.
YOUR WEDDING DAY
Hey, I’m Meegan!
(Yes, my name is pronounced Meeeeeegan!)
As a local photographer and planner, I know these mountains inside and out. I’ve built strong relationships with trusted vendors, understand how to navigate Parks Canada rules, and know the best time to avoid crowds.
When you book me, you’re getting:
→ A personal elopement guide who handles the logistics side for you.
→ A local who knows the hidden gems, quiet trails, and perfect lighting spots.
→ A photographer who captures you naturally.
Rather than you piecing this all together on your own, I’ll be your expert guide. The only thing you need to focus on is what you want your dream elopement day to look like.
Still have questions?
-
It depends on the season! Summer and fall dates (especially in Banff) tend to book up quickly, often 6–12 months out. But if you’re planning something more last-minute, reach out anyway! I occasionally have availability pop up, and I’d love to see if your date fits.
-
Absolutely! Whether you want a lakeside ceremony at sunrise or a quiet mountain lookout away from the crowds, I’ll help you find the perfect spot based on your vibe, desired guest count, and accessibility. You don’t have to figure this out alone.
-
Yes — many locations in Banff and the surrounding areas require permits for ceremonies and photography. But don’t worry — I’m here to guide you through that process so nothing gets overlooked. I’ll help you know what’s needed and when to apply.
-
We embrace it! The Rockies have a mind of their own, and part of the magic is rolling with it. I always build buffer time into your timeline and have backup ideas if we need to adjust. Rain, snow, or fog — we’ll still create something beautiful (and honestly, the moody weather makes for some of the most emotional photos).
-
Yes! If you want to explore somewhere a little more rugged, make time for just-the-two-of-you portraits outside the wedding day, or get dressed up again for sunset photos on a mountaintop — I’m all in. These sessions are perfect for couples who want both intimacy and epic imagery.
-
That’s totally up to you — but elopements typically stay small and intentional. Most of my couples invite anywhere from 0 to 20 guests. Some locations in Banff and the surrounding areas do have group size restrictions, so I’ll help you choose a spot that fits your vision and your guest list. Whether it’s just the two of you or your closest circle, we’ll make sure the experience feels personal and connected.
