Dila Pertiwi Photography - Canmore Wedding and Banff Elopement Photographer

I did a ton of research for photographers in the Banff area and I’m SO glad I went with Dila! What sealed the deal is that she offered a phone consultation prior to booking whereas the other photographers I looked at only communicated via email. We talked on the phone for at least 30 minutes and half of the convo was her giving me tips and recs for my vacation!I ended up booking a 2 hour engagement photo shoot. She was personable, professional and passionate. She was also very responsive to any questions or concerns I had throughout the entire process.It was my first photo shoot and Dila made me feel so comfortable. She even gave me hand warmers and offered stockings because it was cold out!I’m very happy with how the photos turned out. She went above and beyond my expectations. I highly recommend Dila!

There are all these other photographers who will produce you nice but obviously edited photos, then there's Dila who would capture your photos and make them just right to let the natural beauty pop out even more.We actually saw Dila by chance at the trailhead of Parker Ridge prior to our session, but we formally met one another on the day of the engagement shoot itself.  I'd say she would be the type of person that you'd clicked with right away.  Her lovely smile, friendly demeanor, and bright personality would make you think twice whether you have known her before.  Even my fiance who tends to be quite shy when meeting people for the first time got along with Dila pretty quickly, and trust me, that says a lot!I would have loved to mention one specific moment that stood out throughout our experience with Dila, but I cannot think of any since the whole engagement session was memorable.  I must say, she got me emotional and had me teary-eyed at some point.  Don't ask me when that was, because that would be up to you to find out when you get her as your photographer. ;)  What I appreciate about her too was that she remembered my ideas from our initial conversation, and she was not hesitant to incorporate them in her work.  While we didn't get the best weather that we were hoping for on that day in September, we had a creative and talented photographer anyway... and I think that's what matters most.If you are looking for a photographer who will give you incredible pictures AND an amazing photoshoot experience, then congratulations... You found Dila.

SHE IS THE BEST! To start, we are not from Alberta but wanted to get married/elope in Banff. Because we are not from the area we were a little nervous but she went ABOVE AND BEYOND. Her communication was top notch and we were able to video call, email (we would email weekly!), chat and meet her the day before the ceremony! She sent us a list of so many ideas of where to go the day of the wedding and even hiking trails for us to do before the big day! She was more than a photographer - she helped me find hair & makeup - she helped facilitate the whole day. She was basically my planner and photographer and maid of honor in one. It was just my fiance and I so she had to help me put my dress on and carry my shoes when we hiked. YOU GUYS!!! SHE IS SO GENUINE, KIND and FUNNY!!! The whole process made me feel like I was working with a good friend! Also, it's important to note that my fiance (now husband) and I can be awkward when it comes to posing in photos - but with her it was never awkward because she knows what she is doing and made us feel totally natural! I cannot say enough great things - she 100% helped make our day perfect! Thank you so much Dila - definitely blessed and grateful we found you!

What great photos! We are fortunate to have Dila as our photographer! She's talented, attentive, and she even gives us surprises! I really recommend her!

Dila is a shining example of PROFESSIONALISM and CREATIVITY. She is super fun to work with and helps you relax in front of the camera. We immediately felt comfortable with her, and we just fell in love with her unique photography style. She did an amazing job of getting to know us as a couple, and then using her knowledge to add such a fantastically creative touch on our Elopement Photos! I highly recommend Dila to anyone who is looking for a photographer. You will not find a better overall experience anywhere else!

I booked Dila for 8 hours for our wedding in Canmore. I took a bit of as risk as I knew she was more of an Elopement photographer than a wedding photographer, but I was very pleased with her work. She captured the day beautifully and made us feel comfortable in front of the camera. My husband and I are absolutely in love with all our gorgeous wedding pictures. Thanks again Dila for capturing our special day!

Dila is a very talented photographer local to the Bow Valley. She completely exceeded our expectations and made every aspect of this experience unforgettable. My fiancée and I wanted to celebrate our engagement with something special and Dila was recommended to us by a local friend. The start of this sunset hike I kid you not it was 46 degrees outside. Thank goodness we were all well prepared but props to Dila for roughing it in the heat with us. Her talent is undeniable but her personality and ideas made for a beautiful unique experience. She had our parents write us letters to read at the top and this personal touch really made an impact on both of us. We couldn’t be happier with every part of this experience and would highly recommended this talented woman to anyone looking for engagement, wedding/ elopement photos.

Dila..there aren’t enough kind words in the dictionary to describe her!! With the ongoing pandemic, my husband and I decided on an adventure elopement. She really gets to know the couple as a whole and individually. We told her roughly how we envisioned the day and she was able to deliver! She made the whole process easy and stress-free. She went above and beyond anything we could have ever imagined. She is not just photographer..she is your wedding planner, MOH, best friend, visionary all rolled into one. 10/10 would recommend her to everyone and anyone. She is absolutely, without a doubt amazing and is really passionate about her work..and it definitely reflects in the quality of her photos.
