Alpenglow Ceremonies
Elopements
Your elopement is proof that a wedding doesn’t have to follow the traditional rules to be meaningful. Whether it’s just the two of you or your closest circle of up to twenty guests, your ceremony can be as adventurous or as laid-back as you want it to be — no chairs, sound systems, or décor required, just love and the beauty of the Rockies.
I officiate intimate outdoor ceremonies across Canmore, Banff, Kananaskis, Lake Louise and beyond— from turquoise lakes, to wildflower meadows, to windswept mountaintops. Whether you’re arriving by foot, chairlift, canoe, or helicopter, I’m always up for an adventure and a meaningful ceremony surrounded by nature.
