If you want to include horseback riding as an activity on your elopement day, or for your couples session, or if you just want to go for fun during your time in Banff, I would recommend contacting Brewster Adventures. They offer trail riding around Lake Louise (there are other companies located elsewhere).

If doing it for your elopement, try to ask them about a private booking and tell them it’s for an elopement and you will have a photographer with you. I would also ask them for a location where it would be easiest to take photos on the horses (where I could get off to take pictures of you two). I’m happy to join you for the whole trail ride and take photos along the way.

If you wanted even more adventure, you could book a longer tour and have them take you to a location where you have your ceremony. This way there’s no hiking needed to get there.
