Canmore elopement photographers at Quarry Lake Park | Elopements with family | Moraine Lake, Banff National Park | Adventure wedding photography
We may be biased because we live here as Canmore elopement photographers, but we think Canmore is way better to visit than Banff because it has much more of a local feel with just as good mountain views! Don’t believe us? Keep scrolling through Stephanie and Ramon’s Canmore elopement and we think you may just agree 😉
From Florida to the Canadian Rockies
Stephanie and Ramon are from Florida and decided to elope in the Canadian Rockies. They had visited Canmore and Banff before and fell in love with it, and this time they wanted to tie the knot. They loved the mountain views, but wanted to avoid the crowds of Banff. As Canmore elopement photographers we knew Quarry Lake would be a much better ceremony option for them to avoid crowds while still keeping the location easy to walk to for family.
Canmore elopement with family
Just because you elope doesn’t mean family can’t join! When you plan a destination elopement, you can still keep the day intimate with a handful of guests while enjoying the benefits of getting married with an awe-worthy backdrop. These small intimate weddings are relaxed, easy to plan, and are budget-friendly without the need for wasteful wedding decor.
Personal Wedding Vows
Their Canmore elopement ceremony officiated by Patrick Smiley was beautifully set amongst the rocky mountains. Stephanie and Ramon wrote personal vows to one another, and Ray surprised her with a true one-of-a-kind love storybook for his vows!

Sunset Wedding Photos at Moraine Lake
Steph and Ray said goodbye to their family (for a little while) after the ceremony and we took full advantage of the warm weather and mountain views for their Canmore elopement photos! They headed to dinner with their family, and we all met up together later for stunning sunset photos at Moraine Lake.
Canmore elopement photographer posing style
These two were full of love and energy. They were up for anything and most importantly they were themselves! You don’t have to be a professional model in photos when you’re with us because our Canmore elopement photographer posing style focuses on movement and action. Most importantly you’ll be having so much fun you’ll forget you’re even being photographed!
As the sun set and dusk fell Steph and Ray took in one last look at Moraine Lake and the surrounding mountains. Their mountain elopement was laid-back and adventurous; the perfect match to their personalities!

All these images are incredible– You did an amazing job capturing this sweet couple. And I LOVE her dress, WOW!!! <3
It was a Willowby Watters wedding dress 🙂
Oh my what a gorgeous Canmore Elopement! I can’t get over the views in that area! They looked like they were in a scene right out of Sound of Music! Beautiful work!
That’s totally what we said to the couple while shooting too! Aha too funny, sound of music here we come 🙂
Oh my goodness, what a wonderfully varied set of photographs you have made at this Canmore Elopement. The couple was so luck to have you as their wedding photographer. You created a gorgeous set of portraits and documentation. I especially love the vertical of her reading her vows, the light, the gestural nature of her hair. Very well captured, indeed!
Thank you Paul! Their vows were sincere and emotional, not a dry eye in the family.
These moments took my breath away! Absolutely incredible storytelling and location!
So stunning! You did an amazing job capturing this elopement!! I’ll forever be obsessed with how beautiful the Canadian Rockies are!!
