Elope in Waterton
WATERTON LAKES NATIONAL PARK
$2500
For up to 20 people
Waterton Lakes National Park is a hidden gem of a location. Away from the craziness of Banff National Park, this secluded mountain village in Southern Alberta is perfect for your small wedding. It’s a seasonal location and only open from about May Long Weekend until mid-September.
We only have two days in June and two days in September that we make the trek to Waterton for weddings, so spots are limited.
If it rains, we photograph in the rain 🙂 Waterton elopements go ahead rain or shine in the outdoors. We bring at least three clear umbrellas with us at all times for the couple and the officiant to use, so that photos will be cohesive and gorgeous in the rain…if it happens!
Your package includes your Alberta marriage commissioner, our photographer, and the licenses/permits to be at Waterton Lakes National Park. Approximately 10 minutes of your package will be photographing your ceremony with the remaining 50 minutes for photos of the two of you and any guest group photos you may want.
