Your Alberta Wedding Photographer
The Alberta province of Canada covers incredible land featuring lakes, mountains, prairies, forests, and even glaciers. I’m sure it was difficult enough just to choose your venue, not to mention a wedding planner, color schemes, and wedding day attire. Tough decisions are still ahead of you, but your one easy decision can be to choose Geoff Wilkings Photography.
You’ve made a wonderful choice if you are getting married in Lake Louise. The awe-inspiring backdrop of a mountain-enclosed turquoise lake can be seen in my gallery. If you’re looking for a Lake Louise wedding photographer, I would love to help you achieve your vision.
If you’ve decided to exchange vows somewhere else in Banff, that’s beautiful as well. The entirety of Banff National Park offers diverse landscapes and views that are great for romantic pictures. As a premier Banff wedding photographer, I can capture all of your favorite moments.
One of these beautiful backdrops in Banff National Park is Moraine Lake. When you see the sun hit the rolling mountains and lake behind you, you’ll fall in love. I’m known as the Moraine Lake wedding photographer who delivers beautiful pictures you’ll be dying to display in your home.

Not just any Alberta elopement photographer can help lead you to the premier destinations for elopement photography. Experienced Alberta wedding photographers will have the legal documentation needed to help you access the best remote and best elopement locations in the Rockies.
Many of the most coveted areas for elopements are within national parks, which means more planning and knowledge are needed to achieve the elopement of your dreams. Stunning backdrops like Lake Louise or Lake Moraine are protected by the government and require special permission for events like elopements.

I offer eight different arrangements of wall art collections for wedding photographs in Alberta that you can choose from to display the best day of your life for yourself and your guests. Not only can you choose from different arrangements, but different materials and framing options.
You will also be able to choose from a great collection of fine art album choices. It’s great to have digital copies of all of your pictures, but when couples choose only digital, it’s very rare they ever get around to printing and displaying. I offer a wide selection of albums and options so that you can avoid the regret of never printing!
