Microweddings: The Best of Both Worlds

Caitlin and PJ’s Moraine Lake wedding photos prove that just because you elope doesn’t mean you can’t have your loved ones there too! There is no set definition of an elopement anymore, and inviting your family can tie in the best of both worlds; an incredibly intimate destination wedding with a side of adventure.

The Morning of Their Moraine Lake Wedding

PJ and Caitlin started their elopement day getting ready at the Fairmont Chateau Lake Louise. The Fairmont is located right on the shores of Lake Louise, making it the perfect basecamp for a lakeside ceremony and Moraine Lake wedding photos after. Plus, the national park is public land so you can easily hold a small leave no trace ceremony nearby without having to rent out an outdoor space from the hotel itself.

As Moraine Lake wedding photographers we know how important it is to lock a hairstyle in place with unpredictable mountain weather, and the team at Something Borrowed nail it every time!

Lake Louise Wedding Ceremony

The bride and groom wanted to keep part of their Moraine Lake wedding to themselves alongside sharing it with family. They had an intimate wedding ceremony at Lake Louise with their family with the Victoria Glacier as a backdrop. Although Lake Louise can seem busy for a wedding ceremony at first glance, with a little walking you can quickly find some space away from a background full of crowds. And of course a little creative editing for your Lake Louise and Moraine Lake wedding photos helps too 😉

For their Lake Louise wedding ceremony decorations, Carissa of Wild Magnolia Floral created two stunning floral arrangements to create an altar at the end of the ‘aisle’. These arrangements tied in beautifully with Caitlin’s bouquet that Carissa also made.

Moraine Lake Wedding Photos

After their Lake Louise elopement ceremony, we headed to Moraine Lake where a looming storm cloud moved above. It quickly blew over, though, as they shared their vows to each other privately beneath the towering ten peaks that surround the lake. Caitlin’s gorgeous Hayley Paige wedding dress flowed in the wind and made their Moraine Lake wedding photos even more stunning!

Their First Dance

Just because you don’t have a traditional wedding doesn’t mean you can’t incorporate your favourite parts of a wedding day! One of our favourite ways to end a Moraine Lake elopement is to have a first dance. Hidden away from view, we found this little break in the forest that was perfect for Caitlin and PJ’s first dance as a newly married couple. As they danced the wind rustled through the trees and The Lumineers played along softly.

Celebrating Their Moraine Lake Wedding

After exploring Banff with their families, Caitlin and PJ hosted a party with all their friends back home in the USA to celebrate! Elopements no longer need to be just the two of you anymore, and wedding days don’t have to be a cookie cutter affair!

Caitlin and PJ tied the knot with their families, exchanged private vows and a first dance with each other, and celebrated with friends later. An adventure of a lifetime completely their own with stunning Moraine Lake wedding photos to remember it forever.
