“I would have been lost and wouldn’t have known what to do without you!!! Thank you!!!”
Whether you’re proposing to the love of your life or celebrating your recent engagement Banff is the perfect place to document your love story. With breath taking views of the Rocky Mountains, turquoise lakes and alpine forests Banff offers endless possibilities for the perfect backdrop to your major life milestones. Banff also offers many outdoor activities that you can tie into your session, from hiking to helicopter rides, canoeing, horseback riding, dog sledding , skiing, snowboarding and so much more! Adding an activity to your session is a great idea, especially for those who are extra shy.
Your session should feel like a fun date! My hope is that you come away from your session with new memories with your partner, feeling connected to each other, with the bonus of photos. I’ll guide you through the session with prompts, while leaving room for your nature personalities and unique love for each other to shine through. I'll also incorporate time for you to take in the epic scenery!
I’ll help you bring your vision to life and or give inspiration. Send you relevant guides and recommendations as well as give you advice about the best time of year for your session.
Proposing in Banff
Propose surrounded by one of Banff’s iconic landscapes with the help of a professional photographer. I’ll help you bring your dream proposal to life! From choosing the perfect location, what to wear, vendor recommendations and setting up the actual proposal, I’ve got you covered. Imagine getting down on one knee beside the majestic Canadian Rockies.
There are two options for surprise proposals that I’ve found work really well
Acting as a tourist I walk around pretend to take photos of the landscape until you are in the agreed upon location and then casually ask me to take a photo of the two of you on your cell phone. Once I’m in place you propose when you’re ready.
My favourite option is to plan a couples session with your partner in a location that has meaning for you or doing an activity you love to do together and then mid way through the session I pose your partner so their back is to you and you get down on one knee and then I have them turn around to be surprised by your proposal. This is a great option because you don’t have to be as sneaky because they already know about the session and I can put you both in the perfect positions to capture all the emotion of your proposal.
Banff Engagement Sessions
Imagine taking a helicopter to a mountain top or canoeing the turquoise waters at Moraine lake for your engagement session. Riding your motorcycle along the mountain roads, taking a dip in an alpine lake or skiing in fresh powder.
Your Banff engagement session is the perfect opportunity to get to know your photographer before your elopement, document your travels, and freeze this really special time in your lives.
“We're overjoyed with Megan's incredible talent! My partner and I never had professional photos taken before - we were quite shy but her warmth instantly dissolved any nerves. Megan's relaxed demeanor and guidance made us feel at home, capturing our authenticity effortlessly. Her patience and enthusiasm crafted an experience beyond our expectations. With her, our engagement photoshoot became a joyous, memorable adventure. We are so grateful for her talent and for making us feel at ease. Our engagement photos have now become cherished tokens of our love story - we couldn't be happier with the experience and how the photos turned out.”

“Megan photographed our surprise proposal at Lake Louise and she made it so special and captured the most amazing photos. Megan followed us around without breaking cover for almost an hour before the proposal and captured photos and videos of our proposal. She is so friendly and fun to have as a photographer. All the pictures were stunning and she captured all the scenery and details you could imagine. She set up zoom calls with my fiancé weeks in advance and gave him tips for what to wear and for posing. In addition, she let us create our own poses. I loved every photo and she gave us our sneak peak extremely fast. We are so thankful that she captured this special moment perfectly.”

Let’s Make Some Magic Together
I CAN'T WAIT TO photograph YOUR LOVE STORY“ On my trip to Banff, I was planning to propose to my (now) fiancé, and I was looking for a professional photographer and I both found Megan online and was recommended by a colleague. After reaching out to Megan, we had an email chain back and forth to discuss options on how to propose, which I ended up choosing the surprise option. Megan made planning the photoshoot a breeze and had several incredible ideas on what the shoot could look like. Being my first trip to Banff as well, Megan had several location ideas with the insider knowledge on when to go at what times and what to expect. Megan even included a well detailed guide with examples of what to wear to the shoot! 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 (It was 0 degrees and partly snowing at 05:00 in the middle of June lol). 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. I haven't even mentioned the photos, which brings me to my next point. The photos themselves are absolutely INCREDIBLE! Both my fiancé and I were thoroughly impressed with the quality of each and every picture. Megan even recorded the proposal on her iPhone so we had both pictures and video. After the photoshoot, Megan airdropped everything from her phone to us, and informed us it'll be about 2 days to get the preview photos and approx. 2 weeks for the remainder of the gallery. Exactly as mentioned, were received all our photos on time, and in fact earlier than we had thought. For anybody looking for a photographer in the Banff area, whether it be proposal, elopement, or wedding, I would give my highest recommendation to Megan. 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. The great cost, amazing effort, thorough communication, and the dedication to her clients demonstrates how much an experienced photographer and professional Megan is. Thank you again Megan!” - Layla & Brandon
