Hitched on a Hike

This couple was barking up the right tree when they decided to reach out to Darren Roberts to photograph their elopement at the top of Mount Fairview, in Canada’s Banff National Park. “These are the couples I love working with the most,” says the Calgary-based photographer, so he met them bright and early one morning in hiking attire, and together, they made their way to the peak.

“Once we got to the top, they changed into their wedding attire, exchanged vows and rings, popped a bottle of Champagne, and then we proceeded with a few photos of the two of them on top,” Roberts says. “Afterward, instead of changing out of their attire, they chose to hike down the mountain in their suit and dress as a proud couple that just got married.”
