YOU GOT ENGAGED AND YOU DECIDED TRADITION JUST WASN'T FOR YOU!
SO YOU ARE ELOPING AND I AM SO EXCITED FOR YOU!!
HELLO MADLY IN LOVE HUMANS WITH A SENSE OF ADVENTURE!
When you picture your wedding day, you envision a day in nature with all the adventures that will create incredible, lasting memories you can tell your grandchildren about!
I am thrilled that you chose to Elope!!
This decision frees you from being tied to the traditions of the masses and allows you to worry less about others and focus all on the two of you and what you want for your special day.
You can do ANYTHING or go ANYWHERE!
That can seem a little daunting so I am glad you are here :)
You don’t want a wedding day like everyone else’s!
You are here because you want something that is all about the two of you!
You might be the type to hike a mountain, ride in a helicopter, canoe on a mountain lake, ride horses, heck even take a hot air balloon flight!
Or you might just want an incredible backdrop to a private
adventure that leaves you with breathtaking photos, but not breathless from exertion!
I am here to plan your day the way you picture it and give you the experience of a lifetime you can send postcards home about!
It doesn’t matter how wild, or tame, you want your day to be, I will plan a celebration that suits you both and is worthy of AWE, NO MATTER WHAT!
You dream it...I will make it happen!
Choosing me as your Elopement Photographer means you get amazing images, but you also get a planner, adventure guide, new best friend, and cheer squad all in one!
Yes, I am an Elopement photographer, but FOR YOU I am a little more than that...
I am sure we will become friends, but I am also your biographer for your love story, a CHEER SQUAD, your Instagram Story Creator, and I am even a natural bear deterrent due to my love of talking and they want nothing to do with me, their loss!. lol
* be your best friend and more
I can connect you with my favorite vendors such as, but not limited to, Officiants, Florists, Glam Squad, and more
* provide with you vendor info
Once we have a location and activities nailed down I will create a timeline for your day so you don't have to think about it. I will also keep track of important times and keep us all on time on your elopement day.
* create a timeline for your day
I assist you with finding out what permits and documents you will require and if possible I can help you attain them or pick them up locally if you are traveling to the AB or BC
* help you figure out permits
I find you your IDEAL LOCATION so that you can say "I Do" in the perfect place for the two of you. I will of course have some backup options because Mother Nature just doesn't consult and can have plans all her own! ;)
* scout for a location
Once I have all your info and we've had a planning zoom call I will design the DAY OF YOUR DREAMS!
* Plan your entire adventure
YOu get amazeballs photos working with me, but also, i will...
"Don't think about it, just BOOK HER! She's WORTH every penny and more!"
“If you are looking for a photographer, Kelly is YOUR girl!.”
jessica & jordan
"She is highly experienced and takes the most beautiful photos you could imagine. In addition she’s the most fun & personable photographer you could ever meet. Like anything, you get what you pay for so choosing a less expensive photographer may save you money but you sacrifice on quality and for your most special day you want pictures that you will love forever. You can’t go wrong with Kelly and will not be disappointed! Best photographer in Calgary!"
“There is literally nobody better than Kelly Szott, we are so happy that we chose her!"
suzanne & chad
"We hired her for our engagement photos and wedding day. She is super fun and easy to work with. We spent most of our time laughing and she captured some amazing shots! I am so glad we went with her. You won't be disappointed! 10/10"
“Kelly Szott is an amazing photographer!!"
kristin & kent
"Our pre-wedding meeting to discuss our ideas for the wedding was great. She was very open to hearing about what we wanted and talked about how to achieve that. She was also very responsive in all her communications leading up to the wedding.
The day of the wedding she was very professional and did a great job at getting my family to enjoy taking the photos. She was very efficient and did not rush us through any of our photos and the different locations.
Her photos perfectly captured our wedding day and they are beautiful memories we will have for a long time! Thank you, Kelly!"
“KELLY WAS AN ABSOLUTE PLEASURE TO WORK WITH!!!"
Mckenzie & Terrance
Within 24-48hrs you will receive a gallery of about 10-15 images from your day to download, share with friends and family, as well as on your social media. This allows you to relive the experience all over again before your full gallery is ready.
You chose to do things your way, but everyone you left behind is DYING to see what you got up to on your adventure; so then you can share the images with them.
After all phone pics are great to share in your stories, but you need the WOW images to share on your feed and make everyone wish they had eloped for their wedding too!
PS: You know your parents will be thrilled!!

You love adventure, mountains, dogs, forests, lakes....just nature in general. ME TOO!! We will get along famously! I also love to travel so I will go ANYWHERE you want to go...by car, by plane, by boat...by hot air balloon or helicopter!
I typically respond to inquiries within 24-48 hours and be forewarned I love emojis and exclamation points, plus my liberal use of "lol"
Once I have gone over your information I will reach out with some info for you and then you can schedule a zoom or in-person meeting so we can talk and laugh just like old friends do; perhaps you will bring your dog(s) and I will bring mine and it will be kismet ;)! Then you will say, "YASSS Kelly, we HAVE to HAVE YOU!"
That's when I will email you the contract and invoice. Once everything is signed and paid the real fun begins as we put together your day and assemble all the vendors, locations, and items you need!
does this sound amazing to you?
same to me!!
i am so excited to hear all about your love story and become best friends while we create a magical adventure for you both!
EMBRACE IT!! LOL
Typically I shoot in all weather and we prepare for it with things like umbrellas, etc.
If it's really an issue, we can chat about options; the decision depends on a few factors - how long you are in the area, and more
* What happens if the weather is awful that day?
Yes! I love couples’ boudoir sessions, so let's do it. We can do it in your hotel/Airbnb room before we head out on your adventure or else we can even do it sometime on your adventure in the wild! ;)
