Vintage Inspired Emerald Lake Lodge Wedding Surrounded by Turquoise Waters and Peaks

---

I recently had the most beautiful experience capturing a wedding at Emerald Lake Lodge — and wow, where do I even start? The entire day was filled with such genuine emotions, the kind that make you believe in love all over again. The couple was just the sweetest; their connection was effortless, and it was such an honor to witness their story unfold in such a breathtaking setting.

Getting ready in their cozy cabin overlooking the turquoise lake was pure magic. The morning light reflecting off the water created the softest glow — the kind every photographer dreams of. Their first look was such a heartfelt moment; standing on the deck, they exchanged private vows that perfectly captured their love story. It was intimate and unposed, like they were in their own world, completely unaware of the stunning scenery around them.

After that, we wandered along the lakeside trail for portraits. Every corner offered a new backdrop — mountain peaks, forest reflections, and that unforgettable emerald water. Photographing their laughter and quiet moments together in that landscape was simply effortless.

The ceremony took place at the lookout point, with panoramic views of the lake and surrounding peaks — a true fairytale backdrop. Their vows echoed softly through the still mountain air, surrounded by their closest family and friends.

Afterward, we made our way to Cilantro on the Lake for the reception. The cozy space felt warm and inviting, setting the perfect tone for an evening filled with laughter, heartfelt toasts, and dancing under the stars.

Every part of the day felt timeless — from the tender glances during the ceremony to the joyful chaos of the dance floor. It was a soulful celebration that perfectly captured what I love most about wedding photography: the emotion, the light, and the connection.

If you’re dreaming of a wedding surrounded by nature and mountain serenity, Emerald Lake Lodge truly offers one of the most breathtaking venues in Canada.
