Hidden Gem Locations
There are so many incredible hidden gem locations to elope at in Jasper National Park. There is no better way to discover those than to hire me as your photographer to share them with you! I help each couple find the perfect location to exchange their vows and some opt to go to a hidden gem rather than an actual venue. This means you can have even more privacy - depending on the spot. Since I know the area so well, I have a good list of locations that can work for you!
