There’s something about saying “I do” surrounded by towering peaks, crisp air, and jaw-dropping scenery that makes a wedding feel truly unforgettable. If you’ve ever dreamed of a day where the mountains themselves witness your vows, you’re in the right place! In this post, I’m sharing some of my favorite mountain wedding destinations. Whether you’re planning a destination wedding or just love mountain-inspired vibes, this gallery is your perfect escape — and maybe even a little inspo for your own adventure! Let’s dive in together!
Tips for Getting Married in the Mountains
Before we get into some of my favorite mountain wedding destinations, let’s chat about a few things that make a mountain wedding extra magical (and stress-free!). First off, the views? Unbeatable. But with epic scenery comes a little planning magic: think layers for changing weather, comfy shoes for those hikes to the perfect spot, and a timeline that leaves room for all the golden hour moments. Oh, and don’t forget to soak it all in — the mountains have this way of slowing time down, giving you space to actually feel your day instead of rushing through it. Planning with intention lets your love story shine against the backdrop of peaks, lakes, and endless sky.
Quick tip: Be sure to check your location for permit requirements (ceremony & location, photography, and marriage license) before eloping!
Glacier National Park, Montana
Glacier National Park is honestly next-level gorgeous, and Holly & Ryan’s wedding (featured gallery) there was pure magic. The mountains, the hidden lakes, the golden light — it all made every moment feel so alive and intimate. If you’re dreaming of saying “I do” surrounded by peaks and nature, this place is a total dream. I’ve got a full guide to Glacier National Park weddings right here with all my tips for timing, spots, and making your day completely stress-free.
Washington
Washington is full of the prettiest forests, misty mountains, and quiet corners that feel tucked away from the world. It’s perfect for couples who want adventure and intimacy in equal measure — think mossy trails, golden light filtering through the trees, and moments that feel completely yours. Who wouldn’t want to get married here?!
British Columbia
Big mountains, sparkling lakes, and charming little towns is what British Columbia is all about. BC is a dream for couples who want a mix of epic scenery and super cozy romance. Every view feels like it’s straight out of a storybook, making it impossible not to feel like you’re on a little adventure together.
Banff, Alberta
Banff is where the mountains totally steal the show with turquoise lakes, stunning peaks, and crisp mountain air. Every photo feels epic, but the day itself can still feel intimate, personal, and totally you. Thinking about saying “I do” in Banff? I put together my top tips for eloping there in this blog — everything from timing to locations to making it stress-free — so you can plan a day that’s as magical as the scenery.
The Dolomites
The Dolomites are pure drama in the best way. Towering peaks, sweeping valleys, and views that make you stop and just stare. This destination is perfect for couples dreaming of a wedding straight out of a travel magazine, with the kind of backdrop that makes every moment feel cinematic. (And psst… If you’re tying the knot here, I’ll give you special discount on your photography package!).
