See What’s Possible

You want mountain air

…and you want it custom-made to fit your story

As Banff elopement photographers, we believe your wedding or elopement should feel just as special as the moment you knew you’d found your forever. As intimate as the nights you’ve spent curled up around a fire, swapping stories and sharing s’mores. And, as personal as your inside jokes, cherished traditions, and catalog of memories.

Because your adventure of a lifetime is just that—yours. And we’re here to make sure it’s everything you imagined and more.

Want to canoe across a cool alpine lake while the sun dances on the surface? We’ll bring the boat. Ready to lace up for a 10-mile trek to somewhere secluded and serene? Count us in. Prefer to see canyons and craters from the window of a heli? We’re buckled and ready to fly.

Whatever adventure means to you, we’ll not only help you plan and prep for it, we’ll make sure those once-in-a-lifetime feelings never fade—with timeless, emotive imagery that brings you back to the peak, park, valley, or venue where it all went down.

You Want Moments Like These

In one-of-a-kind, off-the-beaten-path places

(We don’t blame you! Look at those views!)

Say I Do with views like these

The Adventure Doesn’t Stop With “I Do”

Here’s how we ensure your favourite moments become more than memories

Moments pass and memories fade, but photos are forever.

When you travel home from your Banff elopement or mountain wedding, you take two tangibles with you—a spouse (yay!) and documentation from your day. But not all wedding photos and videos are created equal.

Our consistent, true-to-life editing style ensures the sky, lakes, and glaciers are just as blue as the day you walked under, around, or on top of them. Our photography expertise means we can capture your day in any light, from any angle, under any condition. Two Banff elopement photographers, instead of a one person team, means we document your story without missing a cheeky smirk, loving glance, or unique perspective. And most importantly, our movement- and play-based posing style means your day will remain focused on your love story, not a forced photoshoot.

We Can’t Cancel Bad Weather

But we can work around it

As experienced Banff elopement and wedding photographers, we know how to anticipate and plan for potential weather issues. Our complimentary weather rescheduling means that pouring rain, piling snow, or mountains blocked by storm clouds won’t stand between you and your ideal day. Instead, we’ll seamlessly pivot to a pre-planned back-up day free of charge.

If your other vendors aren’t able to pivot as well, we’ll cover what we can of your wedding on the scheduled day, and take you on an adventure session when the sun is shining and the big gorgeous mountains are visible.

Words Of Love
From Past Film & Forest Couples

“Highly recommend Film and Forest for anyone looking for an adventure with amazing people and stunning photography!”

We had an unforgettable experience with Film and Forest! From start to finish, Hayley and Andrew were so friendly and made us feel so safe during our rock climbing adventure!! Their professionalism and knowledge were evident—Andrew is a rope technician, which added an extra layer of confidence for us. Not only did they guide us through an amazing climb, but the photos they delivered were breathtaking! I CANNOT STOP looking at them. The attention to detail and quality of their work is absolutely incredible.

Sheena + Paul

“Choosing Film and Forest was the best decision we made for our Banff elopement!”

From the start, they were incredibly responsive and helped us narrow down the perfect location, making the whole planning process stress-free. We got rained out on our originally scheduled date, but Hayley helped us reschedule everything last minute to the next day. Thanks to her incredible support, we ended up having a bluebird day with a magical sunrise for our hiking elopement in Banff. On the big day, Hayley & Andrew felt more like friends than photographers… guiding us through our rocky mountain hike with ease, keeping us comfortable, and making sure every moment was captured beautifully. Their attention to detail was unmatched. Thoughtful packing lists, snacks (they made sure to bring our favourite treats – so thoughtful!), and even made us fresh coffee on the summit to keep us warm between photographing. The photos they delivered were BEYOND words (we can’t stop looking at them), and we received our sneak peeks the next day!

Ash + Alex

“Every single moment of our wedding day was absolutely perfect”

I don’t even know where to start to explain how incredible Hayley and Andrew were to work with. From the very first email inquiry, Hayley was nothing but sweet, informative, encouraging, and so, incredibly helpful. She kept in frequent contact (despite the incredible work load I’m sure Hayley and Andrew have!), and consistently checked in to help us plan, finalize, and perfect the most INCREDIBLE hiking elopement day. We hiked up Larch Valley Trail at Moraine Lake at sunrise for portraits and private vows, and hiked back down to the Moraine Lake lakeshore for the ceremony. Every single moment of our wedding day was absolutely perfect. It felt like we were hiking up the trail and spending the day with friends because Hayley and Andrew were so easy to work with and be around. This was truly the wedding day of our dreams and we cannot thank Hayley and Andrew enough for helping us to make it happen!!!! THANK YOU!!!

Cristina + Colin

“Rest assured, you’re in goods with Hayley and Andrew!”

Hayley and Andrew have fantastic energy, confidence with the camera, and keep the mood fun. We were quick to relax and feel in the company of friends. The day was long but neither ever lost a bit of enthusiasm. Started with photos by the lake, went for a hike up the mountain, and finished off the night with a starlit sky. The itinerary was eventful, intentional, yet felt so natural. We are so happy that we chose to spend our special day with them. It’s an experience that we won’t forget with these two great spirits. Our pictures and video turned out amazing, beyond expectations. Such talent!

Kelly + Grayson

“10/10 would recommend Film & Forest”

They truly were gems to work with. I hope we get to work with them again when we come back to visit for anniversaries! The whole day felt like we were hanging out with some friends who happened to be taking our pictures. Hayley + Andrew are so genuine, funny, and kind. They made everyone feel so comfortable, even our daughter. They gave such clear instructions for the pictures and videos so we never felt awkward trying to come up with what to do next.

Vi + Jonathan

“We could not have been happier with the amazing photography team at Film and Forest”

Planning an adventure elopement from afar can be such a daunting task, but thanks to their expertise and guidance, we were able to plan the day of our dreams. While Hayley and Andrew offered suggested timelines, activities, and locations, they were completely dedicated to ensuring that our wedding day was everything WE wanted it to be. Leading up to and on the day of, they attended to so many of those small (but important!) details that allowed us to just relax and enjoy our adventure! They took the extra time to get to know us as a couple, which really helped us to feel at ease as they tagged along. We also loved that their dedication to giving us beautiful memories did not end with the completion of shooting! When they delivered the gallery, they suggested treating the initial viewing as a date night. So much fun! Thanks to Hayley and Andrew, those memories are captured forever and will be cherished for years and years to come!!!

Meet Your Banff Elopement Photographers & Mountain Guides

Hey, we’re Andrew and Hayley

As long-time locals, and your Banff elopement photographers, there are few things we know better than the Canadian Rockies. Luckily, photography is one of them, and it just so happens we get to spend our days documenting adventurous, outdoorsy couples as they experience one-of-a-kind weddings and elopements in the most beautiful place on Earth (yes, we’re biased).

With over 12 years guiding in the Canadian Rockies, and 10 years professionally photographing weddings and elopements in Alberta and BC, we’re uniquely qualified to not only capture stunning, high-quality photos and video, but to make sure your adventure wedding is safe, thrilling, and full of moments you’ll never forget.

We know how important this day is to you, and we promise to handcraft a seamless, planned-just-for-you experience with breathtaking views and out-of-this-world photos. And the best part? We’ve been in your boots (so we understand exactly how you’re feeling).

After meeting in the mountains during a climbing and hiking trip, we decided to elope in our favourite place doing our favourite thing—exploring! Not only are we the most experienced Banff elopement photographers (we grew up on these peaks), but we’re two people just like you who chose to ditch convention and say “I do” under the big blue sky.

It would be our honor to plan and document your adventure in the best place on Earth. We can’t wait to meet you in the mountains (or wherever your wedding takes us)!
