Best Places to Elope in Alberta

Being a Banff Photographer and documenting adventure elopements and couple session in Banff, Canmore, Emerald Lake, and all over the Canadian rockies over the years has show me so much of this beautiful area. If you are on the hunt for a Banff Elopement photographer too.. have a look below! Lots of images from all of the locations below of my amazing couples from their elopements documented by me.

So many people are on the hunt for the best Banff photo locations, Banff elopement inspiration, Top Banff spots and have no idea where to start looking. I thought I would help with that with a list below. ;)

If you don’t mind crowds…Some of my top favourite must see spots in the Banff, Lake Louise, Jasper + surrounding area are:

  • Moraine Lake Elopement

  • Lake Louise Elopement

  • Johnston’s Canyon Elopement

  • Lake Minnewanka Elopement

  • Two Jack Lake Elopement

  • Emerald Lake Lodge Elopement

  • Canmore Elopement

  • Kananaskis Elopement

  • Golden BC Elopement

  • Jasper Elopement

    If you are the real adventurous type, and you don’t want to be fighting through crowds all day to get some incredible photos and have a true adventure Banff photo session, below are some areas that are my favourite. If you want to visit one of the above locations, you are best to go during the week!

    Kananaskis country- This area is perfect for a backcountry elopement near Banff.


Spray Lakes road up behind Canmore.
In the Kananaskis area, there are so, so many incredible hikes on this highway 40 that will get you away from the crowds, and into the true Canadian wilderness and backcountry of Banff and Canmore. If you want a backcountry elopement in Alberta, this is the area you want to go!!
