Chinook Photography is a Canmore wedding photographer team serving couples planning weddings and elopements in the Canadian Rockies. Its official site describes a landscape-infused approach that combines candid wedding moments with relaxed, guided portraits, with work across Canmore, Banff, Lake Louise, Kananaskis, Emerald Lake and Calgary.

The business provides a current contact route and 2026 pricing information, which supports an Active listing as of August 12, 2026. The official site does not publish a street mailing address, so no address is shown here. Couples should use the direct contact route to confirm the photographer assigned to their date, availability and the written scope before paying a deposit.

Services and specialization

Chinook Photography presents itself as a wedding photography team for celebrations and elopements in the Canadian Rockies. Its stated visual approach is landscape-infused, candid and timeless, with clean, bright editing rather than heavy filters. The team says it documents both larger wedding days and shorter elopements.

Published options include wedding-day collections, hourly photography coverage and engagement sessions. The official Canmore page also describes timeline and location guidance, relaxed portraits, candid coverage and the option to add a second photographer for larger or multi-location wedding days. The exact inclusions, the number of photographers and any add-ons should be confirmed in the couple’s proposal or contract.

Service area and who it may suit

The official site names Canmore, Banff, Lake Louise, Kananaskis, Emerald Lake and Calgary among its wedding and elopement locations. It also says the team often photographs weddings in Jasper, Bragg Creek, Cochrane and Priddis. This makes the profile most relevant to couples whose ceremony, portraits or reception are in the Bow Valley, Calgary or another Canadian Rockies destination.

The published style and service descriptions may suit couples looking for a mix of scenery-led portraits and documentary moments, as well as those planning a smaller mountain elopement or a longer wedding day. Engagement sessions are described as taking place around Canmore, Banff, Kananaskis or Calgary. The official pricing page specifically excludes engagement sessions at Lake Louise, Emerald Lake and Moraine Lake.

Confirmed strengths and practical limitations

A documented feature is the range of coverage formats: couples can review three timed wedding collections as well as hourly coverage. The official site also states that the team provides high-resolution images and an online gallery, and its longer collections list timeline planning. For engagement sessions, it lists transportation, location and planning assistance, full printing rights and weather backup planning.

There are also practical limits in the published information. Hourly elopement coverage is described as limited on peak-season Fridays and Saturdays and available only in Banff, Canmore and Calgary. This profile cannot verify date-specific availability, the individual photographer assigned, the final number of delivered images or whether a particular venue requires additional arrangements. Those points need to be confirmed directly in writing.

Contact and booking

When enquiring, provide the ceremony and reception locations, the date, guest count, desired coverage window and whether you are planning an elopement, engagement session or multi-location day. Ask who will photograph the event and request that the coverage, payment schedule and delivery terms are recorded in the booking documents.

What couples should confirm

The site’s published collections are a useful starting point, but a wedding photography agreement should reflect the actual itinerary. Confirm which collection or hourly option is appropriate, who will attend, the coverage start and end times, the amount and timing of every payment, tax treatment and the policy for extra time.

For mountain locations, ask how weather changes, road conditions, venue timing and park or site permissions will be handled. If an engagement session is part of the plan, reconfirm the location because the official pricing page excludes Lake Louise, Emerald Lake and Moraine Lake for those sessions. Ask for the expected delivery timeline for the booked service and for the exact gallery, image, print and usage terms.
