Dr. Lindsay Pyrah is the heart and soul of the Rocky Mountain Wedding Collective. She began her professional life as an optometrist – but she found herself wanting something more. With profound conviction Lindsay took a leap, went all-in on herself, and Rocky Mountain Photo Co. was born.
From there, Lindsay did what she does best: creating opportunity. One by one, Lindsay began building up the various other divisions of RMWC, from weddings and events to elopements to eventually even owning and operating multiple event spaces within the Banff and Canmore area.
And yet somehow, even after all that, it still feels like Lindsay is just getting started.
Kind-hearted and tenacious, Lindsay is hard working, values-driven, and always on the lookout for the next adventure – and with her, fun and adventure always seem to be just around the corner!

Ashley’s love of food has always been about more than just what’s on the plate—it’s about the people gathered around it. With over a decade of experience in catering, she’s built her career on creating meaningful moments through shared meals, whether it’s an elegant plated dinner or a well-timed late-night bite that keeps the celebration going.
She thrives in the rhythm of event days, moving between back-of-house coordination and front-of-house service with ease and intention. For Ashley, there’s something special about watching a couple’s vision come to life through full tables, clinking glasses, and the quiet in-between moments when people are simply enjoying each other’s company.
Outside of weddings, Ashley loves spending time with friends and family, entertaining at home, and playing guitar. Her calm energy and thoughtful presence extend far beyond the kitchen—and it shows in everything she does.
