Elopement Photos in Jasper, After Your Wedding Day
Self Portrait of Jeff and I in a glacial ice cave for our Wedding Portrait Project
Last year my partner Jeff and I got married, and to celebrate we decided to take our own wedding photos in some of our most favourite spots in Jasper; areas that we didn't have the time to visit on our actual wedding day. In this process, we wanted to inspire other couples to think outside the box when it comes to wedding photography and realize that you can do anything you want if you're flexible with the idea. Did you decide to elope in another country or have a super traditional wedding that your parents planned, but now want to get those wedding photos in the mountains like you had always dreamed of? Time to pull your gown and suit out of the closet and put them to work again!
Make Jasper your Mini Honeymoon
After the stress of wedding planning is finished, it's time to kick back and relax with your partner. Book a little getaway in one of the most beautiful places in the world and take in the tranquil surroundings of the Rockies. Then let's go for a photo adventure where we plan out exactly what you're dreaming up! Taking photos with no stress of fitting it all into a wedding timeline makes for such an easy going environment and that translates into gorgeous images.
Choose your own Adventure
When you do an elopement photo session after your wedding you can really plan out something unique and fitting for both you and your partner. This could mean an easy stroll along one of the pristine mountain lakes, or a hike into one of the glacial ice caves- whatever you're comfortable with. If you do choose an adventure that is a little more on the extreme side (like that ice cave endeavour) it does require an additional cost for a guide, but that is something we can chat about in the planning process. However, you get complete control of how you want to plan your day, which is exactly how an elopement should be!
Make it Special
If you want to make your photos that are done after your wedding day a little more sentimental and memorable, save your vows for this time. It's honestly so much more intimate and raw when it's just the two of you reading your vows to one another while standing in a breathtaking spot surrounded by mountains. As your photographer I will be standing back and capturing your emotions in the moment, but will not be interrupting this special moment. This is especially great for couples who are more private and hate big crowds. Saying your vows traditionally in front of a gathering of family and friends can sometimes make them rushed. When it's just the two of you it's something you'll remember forever. Then afterwards, let's pop that champagne!

Non traditional weddings are more common now and it's great to see couples making their union really unique and true to their own personalities. If this sounds appealing to you, let's chat! I'm always happy to answer questions and give suggestions to help plan your own elopement photo adventure.
