Hi, I’m Laura!

I am a Banff elopement photographer capturing breathtaking images from all over the Canadian Rockies and beyond. My true passion is blending stunning landscapes and your unique love story into captivating memories. I’m for the adventurous souls, the wanderers, the quirky. People who aren’t afraid to get their clothes a bit dirty or do a little hiking to get an epic shot. Whether you are looking to take a helicopter for the first time, say your vows in front of a waterfall in Iceland, hike up a mountain at sunrise, or experience somewhere new in the world, I want to hear from you.

Let’s create something beautiful together.

Crafting unforgettable adventures

Your day.
Your way.

A wedding experience like no other

An elopement is a choice to forego a traditional wedding in favour of an adventurous experience in the great outdoors. When you work with me as your elopement photographer, we talk about your preferred landscape and if you want to hike, take a helicopter, or simply go to an amazing lookout so I can help create the best possible day for you. While I am there to capture epic photos, your elopement should be about more than just the photos. We will craft an unforgettable experience together that will fill you with awe and excitement all day long, and leave you with incredible memories.

For couples who…

  • value time spent outside
  • Don’t love being the centre of attention
  • want a deeply personal and intimate wedding day
  • envision a day that truly represents you and your relationship
  • love the idea of a little adventure rather than a traditional wedding

Book Laura! Book her now and come back and read why you made the best decision for your big day.
