Saterra + Dan | Dark Fairytale Elopement at Moraine Lake

Saterra and Dan's mid-September elopement was a breathtaking blend of adventure and romance. The day began with a hike from Moraine Lake to the enchanting Larch Valley, where they changed into their wedding attire. With the stunning peaks as their backdrop, Saterra and Dan shared their vows in a private, intimate ceremony that was as beautiful as it was personal.

As we continued our hike, the weather took a dramatic turn. The sunset we hoped for was replaced by cloudy skies, strong winds, and a dusting of snow. Instead of dampening the spirits, it created a dark fairytale ambiance, adding a unique and magical quality to their elopement. The snowy, wind-swept surroundings provided an ethereal backdrop, capturing the essence of their adventurous love story.

After the ceremony, we made our way back down to Moraine Lake for a few more photos. The rain added a moody, romantic touch to the final shots, completing the day with a sense of tranquility and intimacy.

For couples dreaming of an elopement in Banff's rugged beauty, Saterra and Dan's story is a perfect inspiration. The combination of adventure, unexpected weather, and stunning landscapes created an unforgettable celebration.
