Meet your Rocky Mountain Elopement Photographer in Alberta

Hi, I am Meghan!

With over a decade of experience as a wedding photographer, I have had the privilege of capturing the most precious moments for countless couples. My journey as a photographer has been a deeply rewarding one, as it allows me to do what I love most: connect with people and document their unique love stories, including those seeking a memorable Rocky Mountain Elopement.

Through my lens, I have witnessed the profound connection that binds couples together on their special day. Each wedding is a story waiting to be told, and I find joy in being the storyteller. My goal is to create a visual narrative that showcases the authentic emotions, love, and cherished moments that unfold on your wedding day, whether it’s amidst the breathtaking scenery of Alberta Hiking Wedding.

I believe in having my couples connect naturally to document the most raw moments, whether it’s exchanging vows atop a mountain peak or beside a tranquil lake.

When I’m not behind the camera, you can find me having all the coffee or enjoying a glass of wine in the evening. I love exploring new places, hiking in the mountains, camping, biking, or horseback riding—activities that perfectly complement an adventurous Elopement in Alberta.

But, perhaps the greatest joy in my life is spending quality time with my family. These moments are the heart of my inspiration, and they remind me of the significance of capturing the cherished memories that you and your loved ones will treasure forever.

I look forward to connecting with you and creating stunning photographic memories that reflect your unique love story, just as I have done for so many wonderful couples over the years, and what I value with my own family experiences.
