For couples wanting more than just pretty photos while exploring Banff, Lake Louise, Canmore, Moraine Lake, and the mountains of Alberta.
Proposal, Engagement & Couples Photography in Banff and the Canadian Rockies
Real moments, raw emotions, cinematic landscapes, and photography that feels connected to the experience you’re living together.
Some moments deserve to be remembered properly.
Whether you're planning a surprise proposal at Lake Louise, an engagement session at Moraine Lake, or simply wanting photos that actually feel like you, this experience is meant to feel relaxed, intentional, and easy to be present in.
Nothing overly posed. Nothing that doesn’t feel natural. Just real moments, good light, and a day you’ll actually enjoy living.
“Carol's work is impeccable. She made us feel so comfortable in front of the camera and captured us in a way that felt natural and real. We're convinced she could make even a plate of food look incredible.”
Brazilian-born and Calgary-based, shaped by different cultures, places, and stories. I’ve spent years exploring Banff, Canmore, and Kananaskis and know these mountains better than Google Maps at this point.
More than just your photographer, I’m also your location scout, logistics person, travel guide, and low-key accomplice when needed
Hey, I'm Caroline.

Surprise Proposal Photography in Banff National Park
Planning a proposal in Banff sounds dreamy until you realize there’s permits, crowds, timing, weather, parking, and approximately 400 tourists standing exactly where you wanted to propose.
That’s where I come in.
From hidden spots near Canmore to iconic places like Bow Lake and Lake Minnewanka, I help plan the logistics so the moment still feels intimate, relaxed, and true to you.
You focus on asking the question. I’ll take care of the rest.

How It Works
Your Questions, Answered
Still Have Questions?
I’ll send you a positioning guide and detailed plan beforehand so you know exactly where to stand and when. I’ll already be in place before you arrive, blending into the crowd like a professional stalker.
I carry the required permits to work in Banff National Park. Some locations or larger setups may need additional permissions and I’ll guide you through all of it.
For summer and fall, ideally 2–3 months ahead. For proposals, earlier is always better so we have time to properly plan the details.
Honestly? Probably for about five minutes. Then people usually stop thinking about the camera completely and that’s when the best moments happen.
Every season here feels completely different. Summer has turquoise lakes and wildflowers, fall brings golden larches, winter feels cinematic, and spring is quieter and underrated. I’ll help you choose what fits your vision best.
