Alpine Peak Photography

Last reviewed: August 10, 2026. Business status: Active.

Last reviewed: August 10, 2026. Alpine Peak Photography is a Banff wedding photographer business led by Malcolm Carmichael and Roger Witney. Its official website presents the team as photographers for weddings, elopements and events in the Canadian Rockies, and states that they have more than 25 years of professional wedding, elopement and event photography experience.

For couples planning a mountain celebration, the company’s published information is most relevant to events in Banff and nearby locations including Lake Louise, Canmore, Emerald Lake and Kananaskis. Its official portfolio also shows wedding and elopement examples in a range of outdoor and seasonal settings.

Services and specialization

Alpine Peak Photography lists wedding photography as a core service and says it also photographs elopements and events. Its wedding page describes experience with intimate lakeside ceremonies, helicopter weddings, ski-hill weddings, church ceremonies, same-sex marriages and castle celebrations. These are examples of settings the business says it has photographed, rather than a guarantee that every setting is available for every date.

The published wedding deliverables include fully edited final images on a USB card, high-resolution colour, low-resolution colour and black-and-white versions. The business also states that it provides password-protected online image hosting and sneak peeks within 48 hours of a wedding.

Service area and who it may suit

The official website identifies Banff as the business’s location and says it covers weddings, elopements and events in Canmore, Lake Louise and Emerald Lake. It also states that the team is fully licensed to work in Banff, Canmore, Lake Louise and Kananaskis.

This profile may be useful to couples considering a Banff or Bow Valley event where local mountain knowledge matters to portrait timing and location planning. It may also be relevant for small elopements and outdoor celebrations, as both are documented by the official site.
