This Banff Helicopter Wedding was the kind of high-altitude celebration that perfectly blended adventure, intimacy, and family connection. They traveled from Edmonton with 20 of their closest family and friends — including kids and grandparents — for a once-in-a-lifetime helicopter wedding in the Canadian Rockies.

​

  When they reached out to me, I was thrilled. As the most experienced helicopter wedding photographer in Banff, Canmore, and Kananaskis, with 15 years experience and a licensed ACMG hiking guide, I specialize in professionally guided mountain elopements and small weddings that make the most of this region’s dramatic landscapes.

​

  Ashley and Mark booked a 3-hour landing experience with time for a mountaintop ceremony, picnic, and portraits — and it turned out to be an unforgettable day.

​

  After a scenic flight into the mountains, we landed at a remote alpine meadow surrounded by jaw-dropping peaks. With clear skies and endless views, it was the perfect location for their intimate Banff helicopter wedding ceremony.

​

  The guests settled in with a picnic while I guided Ashley and Mark to a quiet, private area nearby for portraits and a few peaceful moments alone. These are the kinds of opportunities that make helicopter elopement photography so special. As a professional hiking guide, I know how to safely access the best photography spots while keeping the timeline smooth and stress-free.

​

  We wrapped up the day with a short hike down to a quiet river spot for some final portraits as the golden light filtered through the valley.

 

 Ashley and Mark’s day was a perfect example of how a Banff, Kananaskis, or Canmore helicopter wedding can offer both incredible views and a meaningful, personal experience.

​

  Whether you’re planning a private helicopter elopement in Banff, a family-friendly mountaintop ceremony, or want to include adventure portraits in your wedding day, I offer ACMG-certified guided wedding experiences that combine expert knowledge of the Rockies with timeless, breathtaking photography.
