Did you think eloping meant cutting out your family, or having to choose between sharing an adventure or including the people you love? Think again!

What I love about elopements is that you aren’t stuck to a schedule or an expectation. If you want family there with you, like Sofia and Jack, you have the added bonus of being able to break from traditional ceremony format.

What stole the ceremony for this micro-wedding elopement was the moment when each of the bride and groom’s parents chose to share something special and personal with their newly married children. It was heartwarming, intimate, and incredibly tear-jerking.

This is one of those simple, unique acts that wouldn’t fit with the strict timeline of a traditional wedding ceremony, but slid seamlessly into this lakeside elopement.

Save this post as inspiration for how to include your own family or loved ones when you choose to start your own elopement adventure.

Meghan ❤️ Ryan

Some of our favourite frames from Meghan💛Ryan’s elopement in the Canadian Rockies! 🏔️

A little romance, a little craziness, and a whole lot of personality! From exchanging rings by the lake to being lifted into the air by their friends, these two certainly gave us some memorable moments to capture! 😂

Meghan💛Ryan, we couldn’t have asked for nicer people to spend the morning with. You made everything feel so natural and effortless, and we truly appreciated your company.

Big congratulations to you both! ❤️🥂

The MOST dreamy wedding day in the Rocky Mountains🤍

David and Nichelle really made their day their own, I loved all of their personal touches. Especially having DQ blizzards instead of wedding cake, such a good touch🤍

Stunning sunrises were on at the menu at @shadowlakelodge last week!! Fellow adventurers Shea + Skyler said there vows in front of the Ball Mountain Range as the sun came up, before trekking out to Egypt Lake to complete a 31km/1500m(!!) loop on their wedding day. Congratulations to the both of you!!

Eden and Nolan got engaged at @shadowlakelodge last year, so it was a full circle moment for them to head back in with @marriedbycole and myself to make it official. An incredible sunrise complemented the unabashed love these two have for each other. Their love of adventure and positive energy made the whole experience both meaningful and fun.

Trying to make my way through posting all of the gorgeous couples this season, and it’s going to take a while because they have all been especially beautiful 🤍 continuing with ALI + MANUEL 🥂 this living room ceremony and mingle was so special with all the little details and incorporation of Manuel’s Mexican heritage. From the colours to the Spanish reading of vows, I was in absolute awe of how such an intimate day with close family and friends could explode with so much joy and beauty.

Who says you can’t have it all on your elopement day?
From exploring glaciers and alpine meadows by helicopter in the morning to a sweet intimate wedding with all your loved ones in the afternoon. What a wild and beautiful day this was 🤍

A few sneak peeks from Jessica ❤️ Dan’s beautiful wedding day in the Canadian Rockies. 🍂🏔️

We started the morning with their wedding photo session at Moraine Lake, surrounded by incredible mountain views and the warm colors of early fall. Later, we headed to Emerald Lake Lodge, where Jessica and Dan had an intimate lakeside ceremony performed by Cole, surrounded by their closest family and friends. ❤️

The sunshine, fall colors, turquoise lakes and mountains made this September day absolutely beautiful. We had such a wonderful time with you both and loved being there to capture everything from the quiet moments at Moraine Lake to the celebration at Emerald Lake Lodge.

Jessica ❤️ Dan, thank you so much for your kindness and for such a lovely day. Congratulations! 🥂 We wish you a lifetime of happiness together.
