Lifestyle & Elopement Packages in Alberta & BC for adventurers who want…

Intimate, rugged memories that say “we’re young, wild and free”.

White bridal shoes with floral decorations and pearls, placed on a wooden surface with a neutral background.
A young woman sitting on the floor of a laundromat, playing an acoustic guitar.
A newlywed couple kissing and celebrating outdoors at their wedding surrounded by family and friends, with confetti falling from above.
A three-panel photo strip showing a woman and man in a nature setting. The first panel shows a river and trees in the background. The second panel captures the woman, dressed in a white lace dress with large earrings, kissing the man who is dressed in a dark suit. They are lying on the grass among tall plants and grasses.

If stuffy, uptight weddings were your thing, you probably would have booked a traditional wedding package already.

But you’ve been putting off the wedding planning process because, frankly, organizing a big fancy party is waaay out of your wheelhouse. And the thought of a photographer who won’t be able to match your laid-back energy feels…painful.

You need someone who can capture your unscripted love story.  

& I’ve got just the thing…

Around here, we do..

Micro-wedding and elopement photos that make your special day feel as carefree as a weekend in Jasper.

(but with a *little* less dirt and a lot more raw, unfiltered emotion)

Translation: candid, emotional storytelling-focused photos that capture the magic of your intimate day.

What you can expect from your BC & AB elopement package

BC & Elopement Steps
01. First Date Vibes

You’ll inquire through my contact form, and once I go over everything, I’ll reach out to schedule a connection call!. We’ll chat about your vision, your story, and whether we’re on the same wavelength. 

02. Making it Official

Once you’ve decided to commit, I’ll send over a contract and 30% retainer to secure your date. Then comes the fun part: you’ll receive my “Getting to Know You” questionnaire, plus my What to Wear guide, and location suggestions.

03. Game Plan (With Room to Breathe)

One month before your big day, we’ll fine-tune the details with a second questionnaire and create a timeline that flows with your schedule. Then, one week before, we’ll hop on a quick call to ease any nerves and confirm our game plan.

04. The Main Event

This is it—the day you’ve been waiting for! While you’re busy living in the moment, I’ll be there capturing every laugh, tear, and “holy crap, we actually did it” smile. I’ll handle the photos while you focus on the celebratory clinks. Deal?

05. The Big Reveal

Within 7 days, you’ll get some sneak peeks that’ll make your heart skip a beat. Then within 15 weeks (but usually sooner—because let’s face it, I’m just as excited as you are), your full gallery will land in your inbox. *Cue the happy tears and immediate planning of which photos are going above the fireplace*

Yep, that’s what actually enjoying the wedding photography process can feel like. You ready for yours?

Love notes from fellow wildhearts

Testimonial slider services

“Shannon is super personable and makes you feel really comfortable in front of the camera! She shot our wedding and I love our pictures. She captured the feelings so well! And I love her moody edits. My husband didn’t want to know the photographer was there during the ceremony or reception (you know, like no “stop and do this”) and Shannon did just that—captured candids until it was time to grab some formal sunset shots. She also did a wonderful job communicating with us throughout the day”.

-Katelyn Letts

One word, WONDERFUL!

“Shannon did such an amazing job capturing my husband & I on an elopement shoot we did :) She somehow made the whole process so fun. Her photos are candid and magical! I could just spend all day looking at them!”

-Elise & Matt Perrault

“Shannon is an amazing photographer who captured my fiancé and I perfectly. She took the time to get to know us, and our photos reflected as such. She returned our photos extremely quickly, and WOW; we were impressed! Her and I have stayed connected since which shows that she has more than just a passion for photography, she has a passion for her clients as well. Couldn't recommend Shannon more!!”

-Bailey Wakaruk

Frequently Asked Questions!

  • Once you book your project, I’ll hook you up with a list of vetted vendor recommendations, help you scout killer locations, build a timeline that feels good, and make sure you know exactly what to wear with my style guide. All this is possible thanks to my in-depth questionnaires, which help me understand what really matters to you. Plus, if needed, I’m always a text away for those random “Is this crazy?” questions (Spolier: it’s usually not).

  • Weather in Alberta and BC can be wild, and I'm totally ready for it! I always have backup locations on the ready and a flexible approach to timelines. Rain? We dance in it. Snow? We make it work. Complete whiteout? I'll have alternative spots already scouted. This is why our pre-wedding calls are so important—we build in wiggle room for the unexpected.

  • HELL. YES. Bring whatever you need to make your shoot feel 100% you. I’ve shot couples on a motorcycle, with their pets, and camped out overnight, ripping my jeans for the perfect shot. The more personal and non-traditional, the more genuine the memories. So please, bring on the weird and wonderful!

  • Most couples go with 6-8 hours for elopements and intimate weddings, which gives us plenty of time to capture everything without feeling rushed. That said, it totally depends on your plans! If you're doing a sunrise ceremony followed by a sunset picnic, we might need more time. If you're keeping it super simple with just vows and portraits, we could rock it in 4-5 hours. 

    During our connection call, we'll chat about what you're envisioning, and I'll help you figure out the perfect timeline. The goal is to have enough breathing room to actually enjoy the experience instead of checking your watch every five minutes.

  • I've photographed all over Alberta and BC—from the obvious hotspots like Banff, Jasper, and Canmore to hidden gems in Kananaskis, Golden, Revelstoke, and beyond. Even if I haven't shot at your exact location before, I guarantee I've captured something similar or will scout it ahead of time. 

    I’m obsessed with finding secret little spots that aren't on everyone's Instagram feed. If your spot is new to me, even better! I'll arrive early, explore the area, and get all excited about fresh angles and light. Exploring new locations is part of why I love what I do!

So, what do you say we take this off-road adventure together?
