Banff Wedding

EMILIA SCHMIDT
Lead Photographer
Magnifik Photography

I was born and raised in Banff, surrounded by the breathtaking beauty of the Canadian Rockies. My deep connection to these mountains fuels my passion for capturing love stories against this spectacular backdrop. As a local through and through, I understand the nuances of Banff’s landscapes and lighting, allowing me to create unique and unforgettable wedding photos.

Photography Style: My photography style is influenced by the raw and majestic nature of the Rockies. I strive to blend natural light with the emotions of the moment, resulting in timeless images that reflect the romance and grandeur of mountain weddings.

Interests: When I’m not behind the lens, you can find me exploring the trails as an avid hiker or carving fresh powder on my snowboard during winter. I live for the early morning glow of sunrise over the peaks and the crisp, invigorating mountain air that fills my lungs.

Approach: I approach each wedding as a storyteller, capturing candid moments and authentic emotions. My goal is to create a comfortable and relaxed atmosphere for couples, allowing their personalities to shine through in every photograph.

Favorite Locations: I have a deep knowledge of Banff’s hidden gems and iconic vistas. Whether it’s the shores of Lake Louise bathed in alpenglow or a secluded spot in the forest, I know where to find the perfect setting for your special day.

Experience: With years of experience photographing weddings in Banff and the surrounding areas, I’ve developed a keen eye for detail and a knack for anticipating magical moments. I understand the importance of flexibility and adaptability, especially in the unpredictable mountain weather.

Let’s Connect: If you’re dreaming of a mountain wedding in Banff, I’d love to hear your vision and discuss how we can capture your love story amidst the splendor of my backyard.
