Heidi and Travis first reached out to me in March, just one month before they planned to elope! They had their hearts set on a small, intimate ceremony in the mountains, and I was so excited to help them bring it to life at the beautiful Two Jack Lake in Banff. Keep reading to follow the story of their day!
One of the first things we talked about was the unpredictability of mountain weather. We joked about the chance of rain or snow, but they were totally on board to embrace whatever the day brought. And sure enough, it rained just about an hour before the ceremony! Honestly, we lucked out. The real challenge ended up being the wind (a classic for getting married in the mountains), but these two handled it all with so much grace and joy.

When we arrived, I helped coordinate Heidi and Travis’ first look, and then we headed over to the ceremony, where their closest friends and family gathered around as they exchanged vows and officially became husband and wife.






















































Afterward, we headed to a second location, not just for more portraits, but also to take a quick break and warm up in the car for a few minutes. We ended up at a breathtaking lookout spot. The wind had us shivering, but the views made every second worth it.







A romantic, cowboy-inspired intimate Banff elopement with mountain views, wind, and so much love!





I absolutely adored the cowboy-inspired details they brought to their day. It was so them and so much fun to photograph (I’m a sucker for a good cowboy aesthetic). I had originally met Heidi and Travis at another wedding, and they mentioned they don’t often get professional photos done, so I was beyond thankful to them for keeping an open mind and allowing me to capture their love
