Yvette & Parker's Full Moon Banff Springs Elopement

“Would you lie with me and just forget the world?”

Yvette. When I seen this name in my inbox I thought, hey that’s my Aunt’s name! And it’s a fairly rare one to see. My mother’s name is Odette with sisters named Janet, Arlette and Lisette. I felt an instant connection to this Bride when she reached out to me.

She emailed me right when sadly they had officially canceled their east coast weddings. Ya know the kind with all the bells and whistles. She was sad but also very ready to be excited again about a day that is supposed to be nothing short of magical.

We planned a very special elopement day for these two and I am obsessed with the night shots from this shoot. The full moon rose at the very end of us working together, over the lake super orange. A lil night magic happened for these two.

They so deserved it.

Enjoy the blog my friends and thank you for inviting me to document such a special day for you two.
