This isn’t about doing less, it’s about choosing better.

Better moments. Better meaning. Better memories.

Eloping is for couples who don’t want to spend their wedding day managing timelines or meeting expectations. It’s for the ones who would rather trade all of that for something real, something wild, something that actually feels like theirs from start to finish.

“Our recent experience with Celestine as our intimate wedding photographer was absolutely amazing! We live in the US and relied on her to help us navigate our options for an outdoor ceremony, as well as hiking photos as a newlywed couple. Celestine helped us so much and we could not be more thrilled with how wonderfully our wedding day turned out. She is not only a talented photographer, she is also an amazing human and it was a joy to spend time with her. Highly recommend!”

“We had the pleasure of working with Célestine for our elopement, and we couldn't be happier with our experience! From the very start, she was incredibly helpful in planning our special day. She took the time to discuss our vision, offering great ideas and suggestions that truly made our elopement unique and personal. On the day of the elopement, she was not only professional but also very sweet and accommodating. She made us feel at ease, which allowed us to fully enjoy the moment without any stress. And the photos? Absolutely stunning! We were thrilled with the images we received; they beautifully captured the essence of our day. Each shot reflects our love and the breathtaking scenery, and we will cherish these memories forever. We highly recommend Célestine to anyone looking for a talented photographer who genuinely cares about her clients. Thank you for everything!”

“Our elopement experience in Banff became even more memorable thanks to the incredible talent and enthusiasm of Celestine. From the moment we met her, we felt at ease, despite our initial uncertainty about posing for photos. Celestine's guidance and suggestions throughout the day were invaluable. Her patience and genuine excitement made us feel like pros, and her infectious passion for photography were evident in every shot she took. It was clear that she loves what she does, and her enthusiasm was incredibly contagious. Celestine's work is nothing short of amazing! She managed to capture the essence of our love and the stunning backdrop of Banff in the most beautiful way possible. The photos she delivered were beyond our wildest expectations, and we couldn't be happier with the results! Celestine not only documented our special day but also made it even more extraordinary with her skill and dedication. We are forever grateful for her talent and the memories she created for us. Thank you, Celestine, for turning our elopement into a truly unforgettable experience.”

Rebecca & Jeremy

“We've been married for about a year now, and even still we have so many people that compliment us on our wedding photos. Picking Célestine was one of the best decisions we could have made for our wedding day! It was challenging trying to plan an elopement in an area that we aren't familiar with, but Célestine made it so much easier for us. She helped us with every part of the planning process, and she found the most beautiful location for our mountain elopement. While the hike was difficult, it was so worth it. We still often think about the hike, and we have even more appreciation for Célestine when we think about it, because she was 6 months pregnant on our wedding day - and she hiked the mountain with us like an absolute champion! The photos speak for themselves and we will treasure them forever. Thank you so much for being such an important part of our day Célestine!!”
