Elopements have a way of bringing us back to the heart of why we create — the connection, the emotion, the moments that unfold naturally when the day is truly about the two of you.
Going forward, our elopement calendar opens at the beginning of each year, with availability exclusively between May and August. We do not book elopements years in advance. Instead, availability is released in the year the wedding is taking place, allowing couples to secure a date within those summer months when the timing feels right.
This approach is intentional — designed for couples choosing Alberta’s breathtaking landscapes who may be traveling, planning within the year, or embracing a more spontaneous timeline.
Experience Without Compromise
Between us, we bring over two decades of combined experience in the wedding, portrait, and editorial space.
Pretty Reckless Glam, led by Taylor, has been proudly serving the Alberta area for 13 years. Taylor is a published professional hair and makeup artist, featured in both web and print publications, and is also an accomplished photographer herself with a strong background in boudoir and portraiture. Her dual understanding of beauty and photography allows her to approach hair and makeup with intention, ensuring each look photographs beautifully in both natural and editorial settings.
Alongside her, I am an established professional photographer, with work published across both web and print platforms. My background spans weddings, elopements, couture portraiture, and editorial storytelling — always with a focus on capturing authentic emotion while maintaining a refined, art-driven aesthetic. Years of experience behind the lens allow me to anticipate moments as they unfold, creating imagery that feels effortless, intimate, and timeless.
The wedding industry often requires booking one to two years in advance, especially when working with experienced professionals. We understand this well — Taylor’s hair and makeup calendar was often filled two years out, and my photography schedule followed a similar pace.
But not every love story follows a long-planned timeline.
Some couples travel to Alberta and fall in love with the mountains.
Some decide within the year that an intimate elopement feels right.
Some want to focus on the experience rather than navigating years of logistics.
By opening our elopement calendar only within the year of the wedding, we create space for couples who value flexibility — without compromising on quality, professionalism, or care.
A Refined, Intentional Experience
Our elopement availability is intentionally limited so we can fully show up for each couple we work with.
By reserving these select months, we’re able to offer:
Professional, published-level photography
Expert hair and makeup artistry
A calm, supportive presence from two creatives who understand both sides of the camera
This isn’t about volume.
It’s about intention, connection, and creating space for meaningful moments.
For Couples Who Choose the Moment
Whether your plans come together months in advance or within the year, we’re here to offer an elevated elopement experience — one that honours your story while allowing space for spontaneity.
Because sometimes, the most meaningful moments happen when you simply say yes.
