This elopement vision was brought to life by the incredible Nicole of Flowers by Nicole! She always has such incredible wedding visions dancing about in her creative mind, and she coordinated every aspect of this beautiful day. There was supposed to be a terrible storm coming that day, but we manifested the clouds parting and it stopped raining just in time for Takisha and Vincent to say their “I Do’s”. We had just enough time to take some gorgeous photos of them with their picture perfect Rocky Mountain backdrop, down by Allstones Creek, and for them to enjoy their luxury Charcuterie picnic in private with a little bubbly! Luke then took the lead and videoed them on their helicopter tour with Rockies Heli where they adventured post nuptials! This wedding, as every Rocky Mountain elopement I get to photograph, calls to my heart so much. The intimate setting, mid week with no one around and just the love that stands out between two people saying their beautiful words to one another is magic. I love the magic. I love love. These two are ridiculously in love, and their love is perfect.

“We chose to elope so we could soak in a special moment together, just the two of us. To celebrate our love and the life we are building together as partners. No pressure, no day-of drama or stress and a lot less money than a traditional wedding. We picked the Nordegg, Alberta area for our special day, a location near and dear to our hearts. Abraham Lake made the most gorgeous backdrop, and offered rest, relaxation and adventure over our weekend stay at Expanse Cottages. Nicole with Elevation Elopements and Flowers by Nicole made our dream day a reality. Ashley and Luke captured our day perfectly and we are so happy we chose this for our wedding day!” – Takisha

Just the most stunning day in May for a gorgeous styled shoot elopement in the mountains. This real life couple was an absolute dream to work with. Elevation Elopements was the creative mastermind behind this incredible group of vendors who truly brought this mountain elopement to life!

We started the day inside the breathtaking Stix Cabin, which boasts three beds to accommodate 6 people, perfect for that elopement getaway in the mountains! It’s a very modern and unique spot, nestled in the forest. I highly recommend staying here for your Nordegg elopement!

Rachel + Taylor are seriously the sweetest couple, and clearly so in love with one another so they made our job so easy! The cabin made a great backdrop for a cozy getting ready vibe. The wedding stationary was created by the talented Kenzie May. The perfect bridal look was crafted by Lexie Dyann Artistry and the simple yet elegant jewelry was provided by Sonja Deklerk Jewellery, which completed the bridal look in the stunning gown from Enchanted Ever After. The video was captured by the creative mastermind Katie of Ktrenaman Photography.

The outdoor covered deck made for an excellent place to cut the beautiful and tasty cakes imagined up by Wild Rose Cakes and enjoy a few charcuterie snacks by Honey B Charcuterie (Michelle makes my favorite snacks). The table was beautifully decorated with the sweet floral creations of the incredible Flowers by Nicole, as well as the extraordinary bridal bouquet.

This was such a mind blowing group of fellow creatives that came together to showcase exactly what kind of picturesque elopement can be had at Abraham Lake with the help of some local talent!
