Dana & Chris had a true elopement when they got married at the meadow at Lake Louise and wrapped up the day with Moraine Lake wedding photos. It was just the two of them saying their vows to each other with just the wedding commissioner, myself and their wedding planner there to witness. It’s these kind of weddings that I love being part of the most because it truly is all about the couple and not a circus that a big wedding can become. After the ceremony, we wandered the shores of Lake Louise, dodging tourists and making it look we had the place all to ourselves (which is really, rarely, ever truly the case with these popular locations). We had planned ahead to make a second location stop as Dana & Chris had wanted to do Moraine Lake wedding photos, so we hopped in the car and head to the Lake in hopes that we’d be able to get in. Luck was on our side (and being later in the evening sure helped!) We ended their wedding day high on the rock pile getting great views of the iconic lake below. The perfect way to end an amazing day! These are some of my favourites of their Lake Louise & Moraine Lake wedding photos!

Tips to help make your Moraine Lake wedding stress free

If you’re thinking about getting married at Moraine Lake, consider staying at Moraine Lake Lodge the night before & after your wedding day. It makes getting access to the Lake so much easier! For the past few years, access to the road to the Lake has been monitored & severely restricted from 6:30 am – 6:30 pm (that does vary a little). When you are a registered guest at Moraine Lake Lodge, you are guaranteed access. Another perk is you also get canoe rentals included which makes for pretty awesome photos & you don’t have to pay an extra $100+ for it!! There’s lots of tips & tricks to help make getting married in the Canadian Rockies easier. I’d love to be your local wedding guide & I’d love to photograph your wedding at Moraine Lake or anywhere else you choose!
