“This is the coolest experience of our lives.”
It wasn’t said for the camera.
It just slipped out in the middle of the day.
That's the feeling we care about. When everything feels aligned.
When the place, the moment, and the experience come together so naturally that it feels unreal, in the best way.
Present. Grounded. Fully there
Traditional weddings can feel rushed and more about expectations than connection.
Eloping is about doing things differently. Choosing presence over pressure and creating a day that feels true to you.
At Bottrel & Co., we create intentional experiences so you can stay present and enjoy every moment.
You focus on each other. We’ll take care of the rest
You don’t need a perfect plan or everything figured out from the start.
I’ll walk alongside you through the process, helping shape a day that feels intentional, grounded, and true to who you are.
From the early ideas to the details that make everything flow, you won’t be doing this alone.

From intimate weddings in Banff to helicopter elopements in the Canadian
Rockies, I create intentional photography experiences for couples who want a
day that truly feels like them.
Based in Calgary, I photograph throughout Banff, Canmore, Lake Louise, Brazil, and beyond. Growing up between Brazil and Canada shaped the way I see love, connection, and celebration.
For me, this is about more than photos. It’s about creating an experience you’ll actually enjoy living.
