Winter Helicopter Wedding in the Canadian Rockies | Banff, Canmore & Kananaskis Adventure Elopement Wedding Photography Packages - Alpine Helicopters

 

  This unforgettable Winter helicopter wedding in the Canadian Rockies around Banff & Canmore with Alpine Helicopters and White Mountain Adventures was the perfect blend of adventure, winter magic, and heartfelt connection.

 

   Julia and Tom traveled all the way from Australia to celebrate their dream mountaintop wedding, with close family flying in from Newfoundland to join them for the experience of a lifetime.

​

  They chose a full-day, 10-hour photography package. We started the day with portraits around Banff, taking advantage of the winter sunshine and stillness. With blue skies, fresh snow, and no wind, the conditions couldn’t have been more perfect for a winter helicopter wedding in the mountains around Banff and Canmore.

​

  Before the flight, we visited several portrait locations around Banff, including snowy viewpoints and frozen lakes, creating a visual story that captured both the rugged beauty of the Rockies and the quiet moments between Julia and Tom. Then, we met up with their families and boarded the helicopter for a scenic flight into the alpine.

 

  Our destination: a pristine alpine ridge in Kananaskis Country that sits along the boarder of Banff National Park, surrounded by jagged peaks and blanketed in untouched snow. The ceremony was intimate and emotional, with grandparents and children wrapped in cozy blankets, watching the couple say their vows in the crisp mountain air.

​

  As an ACMG-certified guide and professional mountain photographer, I was able to lead the couple to several quiet, scenic portrait spots near the landing site — safely and efficiently — giving them time to connect in private, away from the group. These peaceful mountaintop moments are what make helicopter elopements in the Rockies so memorable.

​

  After flying back, we continued with more portraits along a frozen river in Canmore and in golden hour light filtering through the valley. Their wedding day wrapped up with a cozy, elegant reception at Murrieta’s in downtown Canmore, where laughter, wine, and heartfelt toasts filled the evening.

 

  Julia and Tom’s wedding day was a beautiful example of how winter helicopter elopements in Alberta can offer both thrilling adventure and warm family connection.
