Aliza + Usman | Moody Lake Louise couples photoshoot

Aliza and Usman’s Lake Louise photoshoot was a perfect blend of adventure and romance. Visiting from Houston, Texas, they came to the Canadian Rockies for a weekend getaway, and their session at Lake Louise was a highlight of their trip. When I first arrived, the weather was less than ideal—it was hailing and pouring rain, making us wonder if we’d get the chance to capture their love in such a stunning location.

But as luck would have it, the rain eventually paused, giving us a beautiful window of time to take their photos. The moody, dramatic skies and the misty lake shore created an incredibly unique and captivating backdrop. The deep greens of the forest, the rugged mountains, and the calm waters of Lake Louise all combined to make their session unforgettable.

For couples seeking a Banff or Lake Louise photoshoot, this session is a great reminder that even unpredictable weather can lead to extraordinary photos. As a Banff couples photographer, I’ve found that some of the most memorable images come from embracing the elements. If you’re planning a Lake Louise elopement or a romantic getaway, don’t let the weather hold you back—sometimes, it’s the unexpected moments that create the most beautiful memories.
