Yep that's right, I spent my wedding day standing in line for hours hugging every relative and family friend who came by.
My husband and I were pulled from our ceremony, to a studio photo shoot, to the luncheon, to help decorate the reception, to standing in a receiving line! I didn’t even get to try the food! It really was a lot for one day. I was exhausted, and the only quality time we had was during our first dance, in front of all our guests.
Trust me when I say, I don’t want that for you. My own experience is exactly why I became an elopement photographer, to help you plan a day that feels like YOU! A day that’s anxiety-free, fun, and actually about your relationship!
I’m here to take away the stress so you can focus on what really matters- each other.
MY HUSBAND AND I REALLY LOVED THE PHOTOS AND THE WHOLE EXPERIENCE SAVANNAH HAD TO OFFER. TO START, I APPRECIATED HOW SHE HAD ME COMPLETE A QUICK QUESTIONNAIRE TO UNDERSTAND WHAT I WAS LOOKING FOR IN THE PHOTOS. SHE CAPTURED A VARIETY OF SHOTS. WE LOVE OUR ALBUM AND PHOTOS. SAVANNAH HAS A GIFT AND DOES A GREAT JOB CAPTURING THIS SPECIAL TIME.

SAVANNAH IS AN INCREDIBLY CREATIVE AND TALENTED PHOTOGRAPHER, SHE WAS ABLE TO INTERPRET EVERYTHING I WANTED INTO A BEAUTIFUL PHOTOSHOOT. HER PROFESSIONALISM AND SKILLS MAKE ME CONFIDENT TO RECOMMEND HER TO ANYONE!

SAVANNAH RECENTLY DID AN ENGAGEMENT SHOOT FOR MY FIANCE AND I. WE'RE BOTH TERRIBLY AWKWARD PEOPLE, BUT SAVANNAH GUIDED US THROUGH SO MANY CUTE POSES WITH EASE, AND PAID ATTENTION TO ALL THE LITTLE DETAILS. HER EDITING MADE US BOTH LOOK LIKE ANGELS AND THE LIGHTING AND SCENERY IS JUST PERFECT! I CANNOT RECOMMEND HER ENOUGH. HER PROFESSIONALISM IS ALSO SO GREAT. SHE ANSWERS SO FAST TO MESSAGES, GIVES YOU OPTIONS, AND ASKS FOR YOUR INPUT.

Savannah is such a talented photographer and I am so happy with the photos she took. She gives easy direction on how and where to pose to get the best angle for each shot. She also picks the best places to have your photos taken. I would definitely recommend her to family and friends. She is AMAZING!!!

I LOVE THIS PHOTOGRAPHER! SAVANNAH IS VERY PROFESSIONAL, BUT ALSO FUN ENOUGH TO GET GENUINE SMILES. NOT TO MENTION BEING THE ONLY PHOTOGRAPHER TO GET A REAL, NATURAL SMILE FROM MY HUSBAND. I LOVE HOW MUCH SHE CARES. SAVANNAH HAS DEVELOPED SUCH A BEAUTIFUL STYLE. I LOVE THE WAY SHE USES LIGHT TO CREATE SUCH BEAUTIFUL PICTURES THAT I’LL CHERISH FOREVER. SHE’S A LOVELY PERSON AND TALENTED ARTIST!

Maybe all you know is you like the beautiful lake views Banff is famous for. Don't you worry about that!! I will send out a questionnaire, we will have a zoom call, and I spend time getting to know you and what you like. I will help you plan the most perfect day.
Yes! If you choose a full day or multi day package, it is easy to include a few family members. The multi day is perfect for this. You can spend one day alone and the second day we can add family members to share in the ceremony or a celebration. Banff National Park requires parties of 20 or less.
In Banff, the summer months are best and usually have perfect weather! You will have larger crowds so planning ahead with lodging, car rentals, and activities is a good idea. Banff does get snow Oct-April, which can be beautiful as well.
Yes of course!! You are making a brand new family, I can help you celebrate that special moment.
Hiking is not required! I know lots of drive up locations, 1/4 mile walks, and unique adventure activities. We will chat and discuss what is best for you and your day.
Yes you do need an officiant and 2 witnesses. Myself and a passing hiker can be your witnesses. You do need a permint for the park to let them know youa re getting married there. Its free and requies you wedding party to be less than 20 people. Another option would be: to get a marriage license in your home town, and make it official real quick at the town hall before or after your elopement.
