Meet Your Elopement Photographer Megan
“Megan knows all the most beautiful, hidden spots in The Rocky Mountains. The photos perfectly captured the essence and emotion of our day - the love, the joy, and the stunning scenery.” Paulina & Lukas
MEGAN OBST
Banff elopement photographer
I'm Megan, a proposal and elopement photographer based in Banff National Park, Alberta. With a passion for capturing intimate and genuine moments, I specialize in telling love stories against the stunning backdrop of the Canadian Rockies.
Photography, for me, is more than just images—it's about preserving the quiet, fleeting moments that define your love. I believe in the magic of elopements, those intimate celebrations that strip away distractions and focus on what truly matters—each other. As a natural observer, I love capturing the way you look at each other when no one else is watching, the uncontrollable laughter, the soft, stolen glances. My style is simple, minimalistic, and soft—just like the way I approach love stories: with sincerity, warmth, and a deep appreciation for real moments.
It’s my greatest hope to connect with you so that when your day comes, it feels like we’re old friends. You don’t need to perform or pretend—just show up exactly as you are, and I’ll be there to capture your love in its most natural, beautiful form. And when the years pass, and your hair turns gray, I want you to look back at these photos and remember not just how it looked—but how it felt.
What I
Do Best
Proposals
I specialize in capturing the magic of surprise proposals—those raw, emotional moments when time stands still, and everything feels just right. From helping plan the perfect location to documenting every tear, laugh, and embrace, I ensure your proposal is as seamless and unforgettable as your love story.
Elopements
I specialize in capturing intimate, heartfelt elopements that focus on what truly matters—your love and the incredible experience of saying yes in the mountains. With a quiet and intentional approach, I document the in-between moments, the raw emotions, and the breathtaking landscapes so you can relive your day exactly as it felt.

As always I am at a loss for words but this time I’m at a loss for words AND crying. You are a gift. These photos are the most beautiful works - I could not have even imagined these in my wildest Pinterest dreams. You always get the vision but wow have you ever delivered a home run. Once again, I know you integrated all of our ideas and wishes so effortlessly. Above and beyond. The colour, the crispness, the contrast, the softness - wow. And I just feel like I’m really looking at Cory and myself in our truest form. This isn’t even to mention how beautifully you captured us in truly inclement weather, embracing the rain alongside with us just to get the shot. I love this work and the memories that came along with creating them. We will hold onto these forever. You are such a pleasure and a treasure. I am so grateful I found your Instagram page a year ago. You are a wonderful person and also an incredible talent. It’s truly a privilege to work with you at what feels like only the beginning of what will be an unbelievably successful and fruitful career. Thank you for gifting us these most beautiful and precious photos.

Megan had several location ideas with the insider knowledge on when to go at what times and what to expect. Megan arrived at the location early, and greeted us with a warm smile and inviting conversation. She brought some lanterns as props (which turned out amazing) and even lent her own gloves to my fiancé in between shots. Conversation was easy and Megan is a very personable individual, who made both my fiancé and myself feel comfortable and at ease throughout the entire event. Megan exceeded all of my expectations beyond my own belief! She even gave us excellent recommendations for restaurants, activities, and trails nearby. The photos are absolutely INCREDIBLE! Both my fiancé and I were thoroughly impressed with the quality of each and every picture. Both my fiancé and I feel that she truly captured the essence of our very special moment in life and made it that much better.

Megan truly made our wedding day what it was: stunning. We asked her to travel to the mountains in Buena Vista, CO, and she didn't even hesitate. She captured the moments we can't afford to forget because of how precious they are to us. Now we have them in photos forever because of her. We needed a photographer on our wedding day that embraced the mountain scenery, took away the stress of the details and led the day behind the scenes in confidence and professionalism and Megan went beyond what we asked for. We are forever grateful!
