Your Dream Elopement—Epic, Effortless, Unforgettable
You’re not just planning a wedding—you’re creating a once-in-a-lifetime experience. One that’s intimate, stress-free, and filled with breathtaking moments in the heart of nature. No big productions, no expectations—just the two of you, fully present, celebrating your love in a way that feels right.
You want an elopement that’s as adventurous or laid-back as you are. A stunning location without the stress of a long hike. A day that flows seamlessly, where every detail is taken care of so you can soak it all in.
That’s where I come in.
From location guidance to vendor recommendations and permit help, I make sure your elopement is effortless and deeply you. And when the moment arrives, I’ll capture it all—raw, real, and filled with the kind of emotion that takes you right back every time you look at your photos.
Worried You Have to Hike for an Epic Elopement?
So many couples think that to have those breathtaking mountain views, they need to embark on a long, strenuous hike—but that’s simply not true!
There are so many stunning locations with easy access, whether it’s a short walk, a scenic drive, or even a helicopter ride. I help you find the perfect spot that matches your vision without the extra effort, so you can focus on what truly matters—soaking in every beautiful moment together.
Your elopement should feel effortless, magical, and uniquely you—no hiking boots required (unless you want them!).
“Megan is perfect. She is super kind and you can really tell that photography is her passion and love. She made us feel super comfortable in front of the camera and always asked us if we were feeling okay. She was always quick to respond and hiring her for our trip was one of the best decisions ever! We'll have and love the photos she took of us forever.” -Karen & Luis
LOVE NOTES
Welcome, I’m Megan
Your photographer, planner, and storyteller who believes that elopements should feel as effortless as they are unforgettable. I know how much this moment means to you, and I’m here to make sure your day is filled with joy, connection, and breathtaking memories—without the stress.
I specialize in capturing the quiet, honest moments—the way your partner looks at you when they think no one’s watching, the feeling of standing together in the vastness of the mountains, the deep, real love you share. My style is soft, minimalistic, and timeless, just like the love stories I document.
I believe elopements strip away the noise and get to the heart of what matters—two people, deeply in love, making a promise in a place that speaks to them. That’s what makes them so powerful. It’s why I pour my heart into every couple I work with, guiding you through every step so your elopement feels easy, natural, and uniquely yours.
Whether you're exchanging vows at sunrise atop a mountain peak, planning the perfect surprise proposal, or stealing a kiss under the dancing auroras, I am dedicated to crafting timeless images that reflect the authenticity of your love and the splendour of Banff's wilderness.

I contacted Megan because her photos were exactly what I was looking for - candid, raw, and truly capturing the "real moments". Right from initial contact, Megan was professional and easy to work with. She was helpful in trying to find the right location to shoot, open to suggestions from us, and was so patient with our awkwardness as first-time models! She was the perfect person to capture our love story. Adventurers, non-traditionalists, and fun people who want that same nature captured by a kick-ass photographer - look no further. This girl is the real deal.
