[ HIGHLIGHTS ]What’s Included
Professional Photographer
You get your own full-time wedding photographer, not a hobby shooter, not a random freelancer.
This is someone who knows how to pose you, guide you, calm your nerves, and make you look amazing even if you “never take good photos.”
You receive 80 high-resolution, fully edited photos delivered in an online gallery in 5 weeks.
Your photos will stop people mid-scroll.
Your friends will say:
“HOW is this real?!”
Cinematic Videographer
Your elopement is captured by a real filmmaker — someone trained to find light, movement, emotion, and sound.
You get a 3–4 minute cinematic wedding film, delivered in 5 weeks, ready for YouTube, Google Drive, and easy sharing.
Your family will cry watching it.
Your friends will message you nonstop.
This is your movie moment.
This is why we include video — your love deserves more than shaky phone clips.
Marriage Officiant
A licensed Alberta officiant leads your ceremony with warmth and heart — professional, properly-dressed, never rushed, never cold, never robotic.
It will feel real, personal, and intimate.
Exactly how elopements should be.
Two legal witnesses included if you need them.
You show up.
You say “I do.”
We handle everything else.
Location Permit
No stress.
No guessing.
No paperwork.
We take care of the Parks Canada location permit so your ceremony is fully compliant and stress-free.
This saves you time, confusion, and that “where do I even start?” feeling.
