We love photographing in the mountains, and Canmore, Alberta is one of the places that our customers often choose. There are great reasons for this. It's close! Only one hour away from Calgary, there are lots of amenities, and you get the amazing mountain scenery plus some other photo options, without having to venture too far into the Rocky Mountains. For weddings, there are a bunch of great venues to choose from like Malcolm Hotel, Silver Tip Golf Course, the Canmore Nordic Centre, and more!
Our customers often ask us to recommend some spots there for photography, so here are 3 great ones to choose.
1. The Engine Bridge
With trails, mountains, and a great old truss bridge, this spot is popular with wedding parties. You will sometimes have to wait! But like any famous tourist attraction, the hype is worth the wait.
2. Quarry Lake
Also a popular spot, even on the busy days you can still take pictures without too many people in it. Walk around the far side and the numbers drop off dramatically! With open grassy areas, lakeside spots, and of course the famous Canmore skyline, this one is a favourite for sure.
3. Downtown by the river
Without even going up into the hills you can get some amazing photos. Going right through town there's a boardwalk along the river, where you can still have those mountain views as well as some nice waterfront spots.
There are for sure other spots that we haven't listed, but this is a great start for Canmore. If you're getting married in Canmore, or would like a portraits session or engagement session there, please inquire and we can help you decide where to go!
