Banff Elopement | Banff, AB | Liz + Kanan

REAL WEDDINGS

From the bride:

Kanan and Liz Wilson lived side by side in apartment #53 and apartment #54 for months before they’d officially meet. Kanan had moved from Los Angeles to Humboldt County to work on a crab boat. He mostly kept to himself while he wasn’t working. Liz was preoccupied with building her beauty business and rarely spent time at home. But both had noticed one another. One day Liz discovered that Kanan’s mail had been mis-delivered to her. She used returning it as an excuse to officially meet him. After this brief encounter, she decided he was worth the risk, waited until he’d left for work, then slipped a note under his door with her phone number and a date inquiry. Two weeks later Kanan called. They went on their first date and have been together ever since that day. 5 years later they’d be happily married and would enjoy the Banff elopement of a lifetime.

Liz had always wanted a castle in the mountains for her wedding day, so Fairmont Banff Springs was the perfect choice for Liz and Kanan’s magical elopement. Before heading out to Lake Minnewanka, Liz and Kanan got ready together at their beautifully decorated room at the Fairmont Banff Springs, enjoying the cake, and cheersing with their bubbles. Also, can we talk about how BEAUTIFUL her Elsa-inspired, custom-designed, baby blue dress, matched with ballet flats is?! So unique and gorgeous! I couldn’t not stop complimenting her. After, we headed out to Lake Minnewanka, where they read out their deepest love confession. But how did this fairy tale begin? Well, it all started 5 years ago, when Kanan moved to Eureka, Northern California, where princess Liz was living.
