Dave takes photos

Are you looking for fun and relaxed wedding photography in Banff? Our approach ensures you stay comfortable in front of our cameras throughout your entire wedding day. By the end of the night, you won’t even notice we’re there!

Speaking of the end of the night, have we mentioned our FULL DAY coverage? Your wedding party doesn’t leave after 8 hours, so why would we? Our full day coverage means we stay until you’re ready to leave your reception at the end of the night. Don’t listen to photographers who say “oh, you don’t want those photos” … in our experience, end of the night wedding shenanigans make for the BEST photos.

Our passion is candid photography and epic portraiture that tells the story of your day in our hometown of Banff, Alberta. With a focus on the candid moments between you and your partner, and the celebration shared with your closest friends and family, let us make your love story timeless.

Elopements are an intimate celebration of the love you share for each other. Showcase that love through Elopement photography in Banff that celebrates you, and the stunning landscapes around you.

And wouldn’t you know it, I spend every waking second I have (when I’m not taking or editing photos) exploring those peaks, searching for the most epic locations to set up my tripod. Being a hiking Banff elopement photographer is the best excuse, not that I needed one, to go exploring for epic vistas, that make incredible an incredible location for your Banff elopement.

Come out to the mountains. We’ll get together, have a few laughs. Find somewhere truly breathtaking to commit your love to each other. And of course, make some super dope photos along the way.

Are you searching for the perfect place for a surprise proposal in Banff or Lake Louise? You want epic views, the best weather, no one else around, the perfect moment to take the next step in your relationship. And of course a stunning image of the moment, that’s why you’re here. Sounds like you’re looking for a surprise proposal photographer to help guide your adventure.

I’ve been there myself. I understand it can be stressful, but don’t worry, I got you. Worn Leather Media offers flexible booking so we can aim for the best weather for the big moment. Living and adventuring in Banff, I have a keen sense for reading a forecast to help guide you to the best timing and location for your proposal in the Rockies. Of course there are no guarantees, but you can rest assured you’ve got the best help at your side. Reach out now to book a surprise proposal photographer in Banff or Lake Louise, and we can start planning a surprise that your partner will never forget.

My favourite pastime. With or without my camera.

But usually with.

Exploring Banff for the most epic hiking trails has become a full-time hobby, whether at a backcountry hut in the shoulder season, through-hiking some of the most beautiful places on the planet in the summer, or ripping up Sulphur twelve times in a month to stay in shape. It’s almost guaranteed that if I’m not editing photos, I can be found somewhere on the trail. Check out what I’ve been up to on Strava, or even better, come out and join me on an adventure.

If you are looking to get married or otherwise celebrate your love in the most beautiful place on earth, and you want to do it without any crowds, there is no better way than hiking up one of the mountain peaks, ridgelines, or passes, that the Canadian Rockies have to offer. And I would be honoured to join you.

YOU’VE GOT QUESTIONS

I charge a $400 retainer for sessions, and a $1000 retainer for weddings and elopements. Final payment is due 14 days out from weddings and elopements, or 5 days for sessions. Retainer payments are non-refundable, and do count towards your final balance.

Photos are delivered via online gallery. A year’s worth of guaranteed hosting, from the time of delivery, is included. I offer a variety of beautiful print options, including Canvas, Metals, Frames, and Mattes, through a convenient online store connected to your gallery. You are also able to download all of your photos in high resolution, and print them yourself at a lab of your choosing.

I don’t contract a specific number of photos. It usually works out to about one photo per minute of coverage. Some minutes, like ones during a ceremony, might get more photos, and other, like during an epic Banff portrait shoot, might get less.

All photos are contracted for delivery within 16 weeks of your session or event. I understand this is a long time to wait, and always aim to deliver sooner. 8 weeks is standard for weddings, 4-6 weeks for elopements, 2-4 weeks for sessions, and 1-3 days for proposals. If you have a specific timeline you need some or all photos back by, please let me know, I am usually able to accommodate.

Yes! As a local Banff Wedding Photographer (who actually lives in Banff!) I know lots of different locations where we can get epic views, without too many tourists around. If you’re keen to hike, that’s awesome, and we’ll discuss your skill, comfort, and fitness level to find you the perfect adventure. Not so keen to get sweaty before your photos? No worries, I’ve got lots of locations easily accessible by car + a short walk.

LOVING WORDS

from humans in love

MIKE + MOLLY

“Dave and Natalie were absolutely amazing. We couldn’t have asked for a better day. We eloped at moraine lake and they helped us do everything. They were funny and kind and just amazing. We were so glad to find them as we came all the way from Australia. We couldn’t recommend them any more for fun photographers.”

JEN + SEB

“They made us feel so comfortable taking pictures (which is HUGE for us as we are both nervous in front of the camera) and they truly went above and beyond on our big day. We would HIGHLY recommend them; you will not regret it!”

SEAN + JESSLYN

“Dave went above and beyond what we would expect, as he provided us with a lot of advice as we planned our wedding day. Our timeline was almost entirely built around his very helpful guidance! Dave was very well organized in getting friends and family through portraits efficiently, so that we could return to the reception to spend time with our guests. He was professional but also very humorous which helped calm our nerves prior to the ceremony. We felt he really fit in with our group of friends, and the help he gave throughout the day was very much appreciated!”
