Okay but seriously… Peyto Lake is INSANE.
We shot here last year and it straight up took our breath away. The colors are unreal, the views are massive, and it’s one of those places where you just stand there like… how is this even real?
If I had a bride and groom eloping in Banff, this would be one of the very first locations I’d take them to. It’s iconic, dramatic, and makes everything feel next-level without needing to do anything extra.
10/10 location. Absolute must. Would shoot here again a million times!!
Okay but Bow Lake is that kind of place...
Those canyon-looking mountains wrap around the lake and make it feel huge and dramatic in the best way. And when the water is still?? Unreal. You get the cleanest reflections that instantly make everything look next-level.
This is one of those locations that feels calm but powerful at the same time. Super moody, super scenic, and honestly perfect if you want epic landscapes with a softer, more grounded vibe.
And one of the best parts... There's no hiking to get here and its a stunning location year round! So it's a perfect location for your future Bride & Grooms!
Okay but Lake Minnewanka seriously has it all.
Trees, the dock, the rocky shoreline, stunning rocky islands out in the water...There is just so much variety packed into one location. You can move around and get totally different looks without going far at all, which is such a win.
Whether it’s calm and glassy or windy and dramatic, it always gives something different. And as a bonus, you can skate on the lake in the winter!! Talk about a cute engagement session!
If you want a spot that’s versatile, adventurous, and never boring, this one’s an absolute must!
Okay but Moraine Lake seriously delivers. This is the location that EVERYONE talks about!
The peaks, the shoreline, the colour of the water, the scale of it all. Every direction you turn feels completely different. You can shoot along the water, move up for a higher perspective, or frame the mountains straight on, and each spot gives you a totally new look without needing to go far at all, which is such a win. It will be an EARLY morning, but soooo worth it!!!!
I SO HOPE SO!! This is a chance to travel, make new friends, shoot in STUNNING locations and add epic images to your portfolio! I promise, you WON'T be disappointed!!

I’ve been where you are, and that’s why I built this retreat differently. From day one, you’re not just attending, you’re part of a creative family. I’ll be right there with you, guiding shoots, offering hands-on feedback, and cheering you on as you grow. Seriously, you will have a ton of friends along the way!

Yes! We’ll invite you to a private group chat where you can connect and get hyped together. You can also plan travel arrangements!
For the best experience and group transportation, we recommend staying with the group to fully immerse in the retreat. However, if you have special circumstances, reach out and we’ll chat about what’s possible.
We keep things intentionally intimate by offering a limited number of tickets. This allows for a more personal, impactful experience. No fighting for angles or feeling lost in the crowd. We often break into smaller groups and rotate through locations, so even if we don’t have two couples at every shoot, we make sure everyone gets the time and space they need to create. You’ll have the freedom to direct, pose, and shoot with intention, and walk away with work you’re proud of.
Yes, for this retreat, there will be shared beds with two individual beds up for grabs. We’ll set up a private group chat ahead of time so you can connect with other attendees, get to know each other, and coordinate any preferences. If you’re coming with a friend or spouse, just let me know, I’ll make sure you’re paired together.
Yes! As long as your spouse is also attending the retreat as a paying participant, they’re more than welcome to join. This experience is designed for creatives, so if they’re a photographer or just excited to be part of the adventure, they’ll fit right in. Be sure to mention it when you sign up so we can pair you two together for private rooming and shoots!
You’ll need to book your international flight into Calgary International Airport.
August in Banff is their busy time!! Prices sky-rocket, so unfortunately my ticket prices need to reflect that!

Yes! We strongly recommend travel insurance that covers trip cancellation, medical emergencies, and baggage delays.
Opening day for Moraine lake is June. 1st, however it can be delayed due to weather so we just can't risk it!
Expect mild, sunny days and possible chilly nights. It’s the start of the summer for June, so snow is unlikely but temps can shift fast. For August you can expect sunny days and slightly chilly evenings. For Moraine lake you will want to dress in layers!
Don’t worry, I’ll send out a what-to-pack guide before the retreat so you’re totally prepped.
No, drones are not allowed in the National Park!

The photographers who’ve come on my retreats didn’t just leave with insane photos, they left with REAL friendships, incredible memories, and stories we still laugh about. That’s what I care about most.
My people come first, always. I’m not here to just host a retreat. I’m here to make sure you feel welcome, supported, and like you’re actually part of something.
LET THIS BE THE START OF YOUR STORY!
