Banff Elopement Photographer
Make your
elopement day
adventurous like you
who wander
— & find home in each other
It’s not just a day, it’s the start of forever
This is more than an elopement—it’s where home begins.
Not every place feels like home.
Sometimes it looks right, but deep down, you know it’s not where you’re meant to be. And then, you meet someone—and suddenly, it’s not about the place anymore. It’s about how they make you feel. Safe. Seen. Completely at ease.
With them, things make sense. You realize home isn’t always where you’re from—it’s who you choose. And with them, you finally feel it: you’re home.
Hey, my name is Dorine!
Your elopement photographer & adventure partner
Located in Alberta, I am originally from France.
At 25, I left France, eager to explore the world and immerse myself in a different culture. Leaving behind my family and friends was tough, but I felt I couldn’t stay there any longer – politics, work culture, mentalities, you name it. It just didn’t feel like home anymore.
That journey led me deep into the world of landscape photography and hiking, where I discovered not just new countries, but new parts of myself. Nature became my grounding force, and the outdoors started to feel like home, long before I found one.
Since then, I’ve explored over 30 countries, lived in 3 for more than a year, planned countless adventures, and photographed over 100 humans—capturing love in wild, beautiful places that feel like home to many.
Wholeheartedly,
Dorine
(& my assistant Silas)
“Dorine was the BEST photographer we could have asked for! From the start she was so friendly, and we collaborated to create our wedding plan!
She was phenomenal the day of the wedding. The photos all turned out phenomenal, she has so much talent and a keen artistic eye.
It is so special to look back at our album and see photos of all of our loved ones.”

“You never really know the true value of a moment, until it becomes a memory”
You don’t always realize the weight of a moment while you’re in it—but later, when it becomes a memory, its true meaning settles in. Saying yes to forever with your person is one of those moments. It’s grounding, intimate, and quietly powerful—the kind of feeling that stays with you long after the day has passed.
Your vows aren’t just words. They’re shaped by the story only you two share—the mountains you’ve climbed, the quiet rivers you’ve drifted along, the laughter, the resilience, the way you keep choosing each other, again and again.
That’s why your elopement should feel like you: intentional, meaningful, and rooted in everything that brought you here.
It doesn’t have to be rushed or confined to a single ceremony. Let the experience breathe—let it stretch into a full day or two filled with quiet mornings, shared wonder, and space to simply be together. Some of the most meaningful memories come in the stillness between the big moments—in the way you look at each other when no one’s watching, in the laughter echoing off the trees, in the calm after the vows.
I’m here to help you plan and capture it all—not just for the photographs, but so you can return to that feeling, that place, and remember exactly what it felt like to choose each other as home.
