Where do I begin. This was an overwhelmingly amazing experience of my engagement. I was so surprised and Nick was wonderful. The photos all turned out amazing and Nick went above and beyond with giving recommendations for places to eat and things to do around Banff. Truly is an amazing photographer and knows how to make this time special.
I booked a surprise proposal with Nick of Banff Photography back in December of 2024. I was really nervous, as I had no idea how a surprise proposal was going to work and how I was going to be able to pull something like this off. Luke was the photographer who was booked to photograph the surprise engagement. The Banff Photography website already had a lot of good information and videos to show how things would work, but sometimes it is also nice to ask specific questions about what I wanted and had in mind. Fortunately, Luke made everything sound so easy and was able to break each step in the surprise proposal process down for me, so I was very clear on how everything was going to work. I was able to connect and text back and forth with Luke leading up to the moment and the day of as well. He had a map with a red X on where he was going to be standing and explained exactly what I should do so that he would know when his cue was. Honestly, this process was so much easier than I thought it would be and helped relieve some of the anxiety that I was feeling, especially considering I was very nervous for the actual proposal moment, let alone all of the work and planning leading up to it. My now fiancé had absolutely no idea that I was about to propose. She even told me that, during the proposal, she was feeling bad that this poor "random person," who she thought was just taking a quick photo of us, was now all of a sudden taking pictures of a proposal. It wasn't until after the proposal that she put together that Luke was the photographer that I hired for this special moment. Luke even captured some amazing surprise shots of my now fiancé's family surprising her after the proposal (who she had no idea was also in Lake Louise the whole time), which allowed us to get some really special shots that captured the surprise moment with her family, once they unhid themselves. All of the photos from the day turned out to be breathtaking, and the editing was done beautifully. Nick was incredible if we asked for little tweaks to colours or adding in a photo of a specific moment that we wanted to see in the set. Overall, if you are planning a surprise proposal and you want to capture the moment, these are your guys. I cannot give them enough credit!
We had a great experience with Banff photography! Nick took pictures of our engagement and they are magical! He was professional, kind, had great suggestions for locations and poses, and even brought us hand warmers because it was a cold, snowy day. Highly recommend!
I cannot recommend Banff Photography enough! I wasn’t the one to book them—my fiancé did as part of our engagement—but from the moment they surprised me, they made the experience absolutely magical. They captured every emotion so beautifully, and the photos they delivered will bring us joy for a lifetime to come. Their attention to detail, creativity, and ability to make us feel comfortable in front of the camera was truly incredible. Every shot perfectly encapsulated the love and excitement of our special moment. The team was professional, kind, and so skilled at what they do. If you’re looking for a photography company that will go above and beyond to make your memories last forever, Banff Photography is the one to choose! Thank you for giving us such stunning photos and an unforgettable experience!
My experience with Banff Photography could not have gone any better. I found out about Banff Photography through social media and absolutely fell in love with the quality of work they provided so I decided to book them for my surprise proposal. I booked all the way from Texas so I was very nervous about communication and planning but Nick made the process so easy for me. Banff Photography was extremely professional and I recommend them to anyone needing professionally quality pictures taken in the Banff area.
Nick did such an amazing job with our photos, I can’t thank him enough for capturing our special moment!!! I would highly recommend him to anyone looking to have professional photos done!
