BANFF ELOPEMENT PHOTOGRAPHER
PACKAGES & PRICING
For couples who want a wedding day that feels a little wild, a lot breath-stealing, and deeply, undeniably them
There’s something about Banff that makes you feel both tiny and infinite at the same time
One minute you’re driving through the trees, and the next?
You’re standing in front of glacier-blue water, with color so intense it almost looks made up. Mountains towering all around. Air that makes you breathe a little deeper.
And that quiet Holy sh*t moment where it hits you.
This is real.
You’re really here.
And you’re really doing this.
It’s no wonder people come here to get married.
You don’t need a venue when the backdrop looks like this. You don’t need a bridal party when the moment feels this big. You just need each other. Maybe a short hike.
That’s the thing about Banff. It strips everything back.
The pressure. The expectations. The parts of wedding planning that make you want to throw your phone into a lake.
What’s left?
You two.
Feeling small in the best way, standing in something massive and still. Somehow more connected to everything—and each other—than ever before.
There’s always this one second…
When you stop thinking about how we’ll possibly capture the beauty of this place.
Or whether your hair’s doing that weird thing.
You forget the camera’s even there. You’re just…in it.
With your person. In a place that feels like it was ripped from your favourite romantasy.
Maybe the light hits just right.
Maybe they reach for your hand.
Maybe you both laugh because—yup—this is actually happening.
Your chest does that tight, happy squeeze. Your brain goes quiet. This. This is the moment.
And that’s what I’m here to capture.
Not just the wow-this-could-be-a-postcard views, but the feeling underneath it. The real, beautiful, blink-and-you’ll-miss-it stuff.
The soft glances. The “you good?” hand squeeze. The deep breath before the vows. The kind of moment that feels too big to put into words…but just right to hold onto.
Because yeah—you deserve to relive that. For real. Forever.
I'm not just your elopement photographer. I'm your Banff accomplice.
I’ve spent years chasing light through the Rockies, figuring out which trails lead to those stop-you-in-your-tracks views and which lakes look their best before the wind picks up.
I know which spots stay quiet even in the busy season, which ones are better with coffee at sunrise, and how to read a Banff weather forecast (aka... mostly vibes and backup plans). I’ll help you sort permits, prep for whatever the mountains throw our way, and find a spot to celebrate once you’ve officially tied the knot.
Whether you’re dreaming of saying your vows beside the turquoise water at Moraine Lake, wandering through the trees around Lake Minnewanka, or chasing golden-hour views from a tucked-away spot most tourists miss—I’m here to help you do it your way.
WHAT’S INCLUDED WITH EVERY ELOPEMENT:
A handpicked gallery of 30–50 images per hour (only the most epic keepers. No duplicates, no “why is my face doing that” shots)
Custom location scouting & honest recs (based on weather, lighting, crowds, and what I know about you)
Full-on elopement planning support including a 1-hour Zoom planning call & unlimited email support and me in your corner the whole way
Custom timeline planning for your day so you know where to be, when to be there, and how to build in time to breath
Phone/text support the week of your elopement because last-minute jitters are real and I’ve got you
Permit help so you don't accidentally break Alberta laws
Personalized Elopement Logistics Guide with everything you need: offline maps, packing checklists, timelines, and all those "oh crap I almost forgot that" reminders
Day-of coordination with vendors so you don't have to juggle texts on your wedding day
No extra travel fees. The price you see is the price you pay. No sneaky fees or add-ons waiting in the wings.

Collection I
THE SHORT STORY
For couples who want one gorgeous location, one unhurried chapter, and all the quiet magic packed into a few solid hours. We’ll meet somewhere beautiful, maybe a tucked-away lake or a short trail, and focus on being fully there.
Perfect if you're into slow mornings, short hikes, and keeping things simple but stunning.
4 hours of photography coverage
1-2 beautiful locations, with the option of a short hike
Collection II
THE FULL STORY
For the “let’s take a hike” kind of lovebirds. We’ve got enough time to trail-hop through a few locations or take our time on one epic route, stopping whenever we feel like. It’s relaxed, a little wandery, and full of those “how is this real life?” moments.
Perfect if you want a little variety in your backdrops and enough space to let the day unfold without hurry.
6 hours of photography coverage
Choose one epic hike or multiple nearby locations
Collection III
THE COMPLETE SAGA

Perfect if you don’t want to choose between places, or rush through the ones you love.
8 hours of photography coverage (sunrise to sunset if you want)
Explore one epic hike or multiple breathtaking locations (or both. It's your day)
YOU WANT A MOMENT LIKE THIS ONE
“I still look back at our photos and am deeply in love with them. The entire day still felt incredibly intimate and special.
I continue to tell everyone how effortless and warm it was to work with Kaitlyn. Her incredible talent and the passion she pours into her work truly shine through, but beyond that, she is amazing human being. Anyone would be incredibly lucky to be in front of her lens.”
McKenzie + Javed
HOW I HELP YOU BRING YOUR DREAM BANFF ELOPEMENT TO LIFE
(Without the stress, the spreadsheets, or the endless Pinterest scrolls.)
/ First, you tell me everything:
Fill out my inquiry form and spill the tea. How you met, the proposal, what you’re dreaming up, the vibes, the views, all of it. From there, we’ll hop on a call to see if we’re a good fit (spoiler: probably yes).
/ I send over the good stuff:
Once we’re official, you’ll get my Banff Elopement Guide. This is not a generic PDF. Think secret spots, hand-picked vendor recs, travel tips, timelines, and all the behind-the-scenes magic that you won't find on Reddit. We'll collaborate on everything from the perfect loch to the tastiest post-ceremony meal.
/ We plan your day, your way:
From ideal ceremony times to backup plans (hello, Alberta weather), I’ll help you build a day that flows naturally and feels totally you. I’ll coordinate with vendors, create a custom timeline, and send you a personalized logistics guide so you know exactly what’s happening and when.
/ You say “I Do”. I capture it all:
We meet at your chosen spot. You explore, vow, and soak it all in. I’ll be there, quietly documenting every bit of it. From the nervous glances to the ugly-crying (the good kind) to the "holy crap we just got married" grins. Expect to laugh a lot, maybe cry a little, and definitely have moments where you forget I'm even there.
/ The magic lives on:
Within 3-5 days, I’ll deliver a sneak peek gallery, so you can relive your day and share it with the people you love. Your full gallery will follow, filled with honest, emotional, artful photos you’ll never want to stop looking at.
Add a Boudoir Session to Your Elopement Experience
Because this is about celebrating all the sides of your love.
The cozy
The wild
The for your eyes only.
If you’re curious, let’s talk.
“Kaitlyn wasn't JUST a photographer to us.
She was basically a wedding planner / guide, recommending locations, hotels, vendors, restaurants etc. It was truly important to us that we used trusted vendors when booking out of province and every single recommendation blew us out of the water.”

Let’s chat and plan your dream Banff elopement together.
HAVE QUESTIONS ABOUT ELOPING IN BANFF?
-
Most couples book 6-12 months out, but I sometimes have last-minute spots. If your date’s still up in the air, reach out anyway and we’ll chat availability.
-
Late spring through early fall is your best bet for snow-free trails and easier access to the good stuff. May means fresh greenery and quieter crowds. Summer brings long days and those glowing turquoise lakes. Fall? Pure magic. Golden larches, crisp air, and way fewer people. That said, if you’re into snowy vibes, winter elopements here are stunning too. Just dress warm, embrace the cozy, and plan to skip the hiking.
-
Yes, all locations will require a ceremony permit. I’ll handle the research and walk you through what’s required (and what’s not), so you’re not stuck spiraling on Google the night before your vows.
-
Yep! If you want to make it official in Alberta, you’ll need to grab a marriage license in-person from any Alberta registry office, no residency required. It’s super straightforward, and I’ll send you all the info you need to make it easy.
-
Absolutely. I’ve got a solid list of Alberta vendors I trust. People who get the vibe and make the process feel seamless. Florists, hair and makeup, officiants…we’ll build a team that fits your style and energy.
-
Because I'm not interested in giving you 15 versions of the same pose with slightly different angles. I want every image in your gallery to make you feel something. These photos take time to create, to edit, and to perfect. I’d rather give you a smaller set of images you’re obsessed with than hundreds you’ll never print.
-
You bet. Whether you want a cozy cabin in the woods, a cute lodge with big mountain views, or something luxe and tucked away, I’ve got recs. Let me know the vibe you’re after—rustic, romantic, moody, modern—and I’ll point you in the right direction.
-
Banff weather is a whole thing. You might get sun, snow, and sideways rain in the same afternoon, but don’t stress. I always build in flexibility, keep a few backup options in my back pocket, and know how to make the most of whatever the skies are doing. Some of my favourite photos have happened when the weather got wild. Mist, mood, wind-in-your-hair energy? We’ll roll with it.
-
Definitely. I’ll send you everything from where to fly into and how to rent a car, to which trails are easiest with jet lag and which cafés are worth stopping at on your way out of town. If you’re making a trip out of it (and you should), I’ve got all the good stuff.
-
Most couples start with the 4-hour package (aka The Short Story) and upgrade as we talk through the timeline, locations, and your vision for the day. Sometimes a few hours is all you need. Sometimes you realize you want time for slow mornings, extra portraits, or an unhurried hike—and we build from there.
-
If you’re leaning toward a longer day, I always recommend chatting through it together before locking anything in. You can absolutely start with a smaller package and upgrade once we’ve mapped things out. No pressure, no stress.
