Meet your Alberta Elopement Photographers
Hello, we are Samuel & Virginie.
We have worked as a team for over 12 years now.
As South Canadian Rocky Mountains Elopement planners and photographers, we propose getting married or renewing vows in a place far from tourists and overly-seen lakes. We value the intimacy and wild beauty of the South Albertan Rockies or the Canadian desert.
Since 2012, we’ve been helping couples from all over the world design the perfect Alberta Elopement adventure. We started in Tahiti (Moorea to be exact) and then on Vancouver Island. Now, we have some destinations on top of these: south Alberta with the magic mountains, the wild prairies, and the hoodoos. We are bilingual and speak French and English. We still have a studio and Photographer in Tahiti.
Our goal is not only to provide photos, but we want to make sure our couple is living an authentic Waterton Park Wedding experience, completely personalizable, and going back home with memories to cherish forever! We will laugh a lot together and admire breathtaking landscapes. It’s an experience about humans and nature, about love and sharing.
Your Waterton Park Wedding - Itinerary
The time for your Alberta Elopement will change depending on the sunset time, but here’s an example for summer:

4:10 pm Photos at “Red Rock Canyon” a beautiful canyon with vibrant colors on rock and blue river
4:30 pm Depending on the season, you will reach a prairie covered with wildflowers or with an amazing view over mountains, where you will be able to exchange your Waterton Park Wedding vows alone, surrounded by beautiful landscapes.
5 pm to 6 pm Different stops in some beautiful places with a great variety: forests, meadows, rivers, and mountains. Opportunity to see bears, elk, marmots, and more.
6 pm Photos around the Prince of Wales, an iconic national monument in Canada with a beautiful view over the lake.
6:30 pm Sweet organic French pastries homemade with bubbles (Champagne or organic juice as you prefer) for the couple, next to a lake.
