Moraine Lake elopement photographer capturing a sunrise elopement in Banff National Park.


Moraine Lake is one of the most breathtaking locations for an elopement in the Canadian Rockies. If you’re dreaming of an intimate wedding surrounded by towering peaks and turquoise water, this iconic spot in Banff National Park offers an unforgettable setting.

As a Moraine Lake elopement photographer and Banff elopement photographer, I help couples plan and capture their day in a way that feels effortless, emotional, and true to them. From choosing the perfect sunrise or sunset timing to avoiding crowds and finding the most scenic viewpoints, every detail is designed to create a seamless and beautiful experience.



I always guide my couples not only to the famous rock pile overlooking the turquoise water, but also to the other side—the side where you can’t see the lake at all.

And yet… it’s just as beautiful.

Most visitors climb the rock pile, take in the view, capture a photo—and then leave. But if you continue just a little further, the scenery shifts. You’re surrounded by soft alpine forest, textured pathways, wild greenery, and a completely different kind of stillness. It feels more intimate, more grounded, and often completely empty.

This is a great place for you to tell your clients more about your story and to describe the type of photographer you are. You can come back at any time to make more changes.

This hidden side of Moraine Lake is perfect for couples who want something quieter and more personal. It’s where moments slow down, where you can actually hear each other, breathe, and just be—without the crowds.


For elopements, proposals, or couple sessions, I love blending both worlds: the iconic views everyone dreams of, and these overlooked, peaceful corners that most people simply walk past without ever truly seeing.

Whether you’re planning a surprise proposal, a romantic couple session, or an adventurous elopement in Banff, Moraine Lake offers one of the most magical backdrops in the world.
