Adventure Elopement in jasper national park

Chantal and Scott’s elopement started off at their cabin located at the Tekarra Lodge in Jasper National Park. Sheena Rae Beauty glammed Chantal up with hair and makeup while Scott got their little boy ready for the big day. Chantal got glammed up, then jumped right in to help Scott get ready. Once they were both dressed, we headed over to the cabins for their first look—it was such a sweet moment! They had a stunning view beside Athabasca river where we did their first look! Chantal and Scott decided to keep the day just to themselves and include their little boy they had adopted for their Maligne Lake Lodge Elopement.

Getting to maligne lake

We set off on the journey to Maligne Lake, which was about a one hour drive from their Tekarra Lodge Cabin. To get there, you have to go from Highway 16, then turn onto the Maligne Road 1.9 km east of Jasper. The lake is at the road’s end, 47 km from town. On the way to Maligne Lake you will pass Maligne Canyon and Medicine Lake. You may also potentially see a lot of wildlife. It is a stunning drive and one worth taking for your Maligne Lake Lodge Elopement!

Maligne Lake Elopement ceremony

When couples hire me for their day, I help them find the perfect location. They share their desires and I find locations that fit their vibe to the best that I can within the area they want. Maligne Lake was the perfect location for them, with towering mountains all around and a huge, stunning lake at its center. They chose to do their ceremony at the lakeshore just off the path for some privacy. They hired Be Hitched by Laura as their officiant. Sheena and myself signed as their witnesses. Sometimes, clients don’t want anyone else there. However, they need 2 witnesses (in Alberta) so I am more than happy to stay and be a witness!

Maligne Lake Boat Cruise to Spirit Island

Chantal and Scott knew they wanted to do an adventure but also something that is easy. This way, they could include their kiddo. The Maligne Lake Boat Cruise made perfect sense for their day! It had spectacular views and was still an adventure. We took the Maligne Lake Boat tour that stops at Spirit Island. This is one of the most incredible locations in Jasper National Park. It is only accessible by the boat tour, private boat (their tour guides only), canoe, or kayaking in. The tour guides were so incredible, they allowed us to take a few extra minutes for photos. They even gave the couple some champagne to pop. The full tour plus the stop on the island was just over 2 hours long and made for a perfect Maligne Lake Lodge Elopement.

They had their Maligne Lake Lodge Elopement wedding in Jasper National Park during the fall season (September). Therefore, they had the changing colours of the trees along with perfect weather. Fall is (personally) my favourite time to elope in Jasper. I hope you all enjoy scrolling through some of Chantal and Scott’s Maligne Lake Lodge Elopement Photographs.
