If you got to my site looking for a wedding photographer to photograph your wedding here in Jasper, then, sadly, you are too late because I have now retired from active shooting for weddings. Still doing High School Graduations and Sports Camps and corporate convention photography and Large Groups but, alas, I have had to give up the weddings. But for a list of local wedding commissioners and wedding service providers click here.

Jasper's Premiere 1950's Black & White Image Archive
Marilyn in the Rockies
Give us a call today to see the entire collection of images of Marilyn Monroe taken by Jasper photographer, Ray O'Neill, while Marilyn was in Jasper filming the "River of No Return" in 1953.
Marilyn Monroe, Jasper, 1953
Marilyn Monroe signalling the engineer from the tail end of the Canadian National Railway caboose that she and Robert Mitchum and Rory Calhoun and the crew of the movie River of No Return rode to the shooting location each day. Filmed in Jasper in 1953 and released in Hollywood in 1954, the movie shooting location was along Jasper Lake at the Devona railway siding.
Marilyn Monroe had a beautiful smile and a genuine personality according to some of the Jasper locals who had a chance to spend time with her. She stands in front of the Limestone Collin Range of mountains east of Jasper.
Marilyn posed over and over throughout her career and here she poses for her Director, Otto Preminger, while the set photographer catches her smile.
Marilyn with a horse and the limestone Collin Range in the distance makes an incredible image. Beautiful warm sunny weather in the heart of the Canadian Rockies. The movie industry found great locations for their filming in the Rockies.
This must be the Hollywood sexy seductive Marilyn from the tabloids as she look so demure and breathless. A truly vampish celebrity sex symbol pose. All the guys want this one and their wives make them buy the lovely peaceful look of the first shot shown on the page. I love it!
Rory Calhoun holds his rifle on Robert Mitchum while Marilyn looks troubled. The cabin was destroyed by fire after the fight finished between Rory Calhoun and Robert Mitchum. The cabin fire scene was photographed three times with the three cabins they built on site so that they could be sure that they had the fire scene "in the can" when they developed the films back in Hollywood.
Lighting for this shot was controlled by the set hand with the lighting scrim on the roof of the cabin as the microphone hangs on its boom above the scene and the director looks on as Robert Mitchum, Marilyn Monroe and Rory Calhoun act the prelude to the big fight scene with the cabin burning down and Marilyn escapes on a raft down the river.
Marilyn Monroe, Robert Mitchum, Rory Calhoun and the crew filming 'River of No Return' in the heart of the Canadian Rockies, Jasper National Park in 1953.
Marilyn attempts to reason with Rory Calhoun as he holds his rifle on Robert Mitchum. They had good weather judging from the topless stagehand on the right with the lighting tower.
