Katie and Colin’s elopement in the Canadian Rockies was the epitome of adventure and romance. Traveling all the way from Scotland, the couple entrusted their dream day to Geoff Wilkings Photography, a Calgary based professional with over 17 years of experience and an unmatched passion for the mountains.

Their bespoke journey, meticulously planned by Geoff, included a timeline that highlighted the Rockies’ most iconic locations. From the serene beauty of Emerald Lake Lodge to five breathtaking lake destinations, each moment was crafted to capture the essence of their love story against nature’s grandeur.

With the stunning Emerald Lake Lodge as their base, Katie and Colin explored the Rockies in a way that few ever experience. The day was filled with awe-inspiring vistas, quiet moments of connection, and memories that will last a lifetime. Geoff’s expertise in both photography and mountaineering ensured every detail was seamless, creating a truly extraordinary adventure for the couple.

This five-lake journey was more than an elopement; it was a once-in-a-lifetime experience that celebrated Katie and Colin’s love amidst the unparalleled beauty of the Canadian Rockies.
