Wedding Photography in Lake Louise
Lake Louise is a world-class location and often known as a destination location to host a wedding because of its magnificent views classed as The Canadian Rockies.
Lake Louise is wrapped with grand scenery with many hikes available; Lake Louise offers a small selection of shops that are surrounded by stunning mountains. With limited venue options in Lake Louise, you will find that hotels and outdoor venues get booked a year or more in advance. From the famous Chateau Lake Louise to Lake Louise Ski Resort, Moraine Lake, Deer Lodge, Lake Louise Inn, or hosting your wedding on the shoreline of Lake Louise with a simple elopement, I would be honored to capture what is important to you. Due to the limited options in Lake Louise for vendors, most travel from Calgary which is a 2.5-hour drive from Lake Louise. Knowing ahead of time the average costs involved for a Lake Louise photographer along with other vendors is important.
Elopement Photography in Lake Louise
Without any doubt, Lake Louise is a world-class location for your elopement. With Lake Louise being inside a National Park and as long as you have the correct photographer who holds the legal documentation, we can venture to remote areas for your elopement. With nobody around, you can share your wedding vows with your partner overlooking Moraine Lake at sunrise or sunset. How majestic would this be?
Engagement Photography in Lake Louise
Lake Louise is beyond beautiful. The landscape, the history, the friendly environment, offers the perfect engagement photography session. My clients who choose the distinct and unforgettable Landscape of Lake Louise are rewarded with photographs that will stay with them forever and beyond.
Clients are more than welcome to change outfits a couple of times; however, I find my clients experience Lake Louise with clothes that reflect the environment. Rather blend into the breathtaking scenery, it is often enjoyed with a contrast of colors or Lake Louise can be neutral color tones with sheer fabric. The key is to feel amazing in what you wear than focus on having to change. A piece of Art Work is best enjoyed with the same color theme, so changing too often can confuse the chosen Artwork.
The Climate in Lake Louise
Lake Louise is often joked about with its seasons being just Summer and Winter and missing Spring and Fall altogether. The lake thaws around mid-May and starts to freeze late October. This leaves a short season to photograph weddings in Lake Louise due to the shoulders seasons. Winter in Lake Louise is spectacular, and often, I photograph couples in love with snowshoes on playing in the snow. In the winter, it can range from plus 10 to – 40 deg Celsius. During the summer months, it ranges from 5 to 32 deg Celsius. The key during your visit to Lake Louise is to dress in breathable layers. Remember, wait five minutes as the weather will change.
