Mikayla Noton
Alberta Elopement Photographer
Hi, I’m Mikayla.
I’m a fun-loving, down-to-earth girl with a camera in one hand and a coffee in the other. My life revolves around adventure, creativity, connection, and documenting stories that matter.
Alongside my hubby Harley and our fur baby Marlo (who keeps us on our toes), I’ve built a life near Banff that lets me combine my biggest passions: photography, travel, and love stories. Whether I’m hiking to a mountaintop ceremony or photographing barefoot kisses beside a glacial lake, I feel incredibly lucky to do what I do.
I specialize in intimate weddings and elopements across Alberta, including Banff, Canmore, Calgary, and Kananaskis–but I'm always up for an adventure wherever love takes you.
How I Became an Alberta Elopement Photographer
My photography journey started the day I picked up a DSLR in high school. I was instantly hooked. I photographed everything—plants, pets, shadows on the wall—and that curiosity hasn’t left me since.
After years of refining my skills and learning the business side of things, I launched my career as a professional photographer over a decade ago. Since then, I’ve built a life around capturing love stories and moments that matter.
As a Banff elopement photographer, I’ve had the honour of documenting couples in some of Alberta's most stunning places, from mountaintop vows at sunrise to lakeside ceremonies surrounded by snow.
Being an elopement photographer in Alberta allows me to combine my passion for storytelling with my love for the outdoors, and I wouldn’t have it any other way.
My Photography Style
As an Alberta elopement photographer, my style is all about capturing real moments. I focus on the natural connection between you and your partner - those in-between glances, quiet laughs, and unfiltered emotions that tell your story honestly.
I stay away from stiff poses or anything that feels forced. Whether you're saying your vows in the mountains, beside a frozen lake, or on a quiet prairie ridge, I’ll document the day as it unfolds: genuine, intimate, and full of meaning.
Alberta’s wild beauty provides the perfect backdrop, and I aim to capture both the setting and the feeling of your day in every frame.

Whether you want to elope in Banff, Canmore, Kananaskis, Drumheller, or somewhere off the beaten path, I’ll be by your side capturing every important moment and all the little ones in between.
Your elopement should feel like you—and your photos should reflect that, honestly and beautifully.
