Pyramid Island Ceremony Site (5.9km from the Jasper Townsite, approx. 15 minute drive)

As a professional wedding photographer in Jasper National Park, I have seen countless stunning locations for wedding ceremonies, but few compare to the beauty of Pyramid Island. Located just a short drive from the town of Jasper, this ceremony site offers breathtaking views of the Canadian Rockies and serene waters of Pyramid Lake.

CEREMONY SPACE The Pyramid Island Ceremony Site offers a truly unique location for your wedding ceremony. The island can only be accessed by a short footbridge, which adds an element of adventure to your special day. The ceremony space is located on a flat, grassy area with stunning views of the surrounding mountains and lake. The site can accommodate up to 50 guests, making it ideal for intimate ceremonies. Please note that you cannot hold any receptions in this spot and that the parking can be hard to secure in the busy season. Please ask me for more details when we chat about your wedding day.

PHOTO OPPORTUNITIES With my job I am always on the lookout for stunning backdrops for photos. Pyramid Island does not disappoint in this regard. The island is surrounded by crystal clear waters and boasts views of the iconic Pyramid Mountain. The island also features a variety of natural and man-made features that provide unique photo opportunities. From the iconic footbridge to the rocky shoreline, there are plenty of places to capture beautiful moments on your special day.

PRICING The Pyramid Island Ceremony Site is managed by Parks Canada, and rental fees are extremely affordable. With the affordability it should be noted that it is also one of the most sought after locations to book your wedding ceremony, so be prepared to inquire as soon as you set your wedding date!
