From planning to photographing to printing and more

We’re more than your Banff wedding and adventure elopement photographers—we’re your local guides to the Rockies, adventure planners, album printers, advocates, and more. 

We’ll be by your side from start to finish, helping you plan each detail, chart your course, pack for the big day, get comfortable in front of the camera, and print your favourite images to hang, hold, and pass along.

“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.

If you’re looking to have a wedding or elopement in Banff then the Film & Forest team should be your only choice.

Love Notes
From Past Couples

“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

“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.

UNPARALLELED SUPPORT + EXPERIENCE

Every Package Includes The Following

Because it’s so much more than just photos

Unparalleled Expertise

We know Banff and the surrounding areas better than anyone, and are experienced in nearly every adventure sport or activity you can imagine. Plus, our technical photography and videography skills are unmatched.

High-Quality, Expertly Documented Photos + Video

Thanks to our 10+ years of experience and technical photography training, we can capture beautiful, emotive images in any lighting situation, from any angle, and with many types of cameras and lenses (we bring 6 to each wedding). Our true-to-life, crisp editing allows your moments to shine, with just the right touch of enhancement on our end.

Two Photographers + Adventure Guides

What’s better than one expert wedding photographer? Two! Andrew + Hayley approach each wedding, elopement, or adventure session as a team, documenting everything, assisting where needed, and helping to plan and guide the adventure of a lifetime.

Pre-Wedding Planning + Assistance 

We know how overwhelming planning your wedding can be, and that’s why we go above and beyond to guide and support you through this phase. Our in-depth planning support includes the following guides: planning, travel, activity, styling, and vendors. Plus, we offer unlimiting planning calls and a master location list of over 200 spots we’ve personally scouted for couples over the years.

Custom-Curated Location List

While we do have a pre-made location list with 200+ spots calling your name, we’ll also send you a customized list built to specifically meet your wants, dreams, and desires for your day. Cookie-cutter isn’t our style—we want your day to be a true reflection of you two and your unique love story.

Free Album Design Services

If you think your wedding and elopement photos look stunning on a screen, just wait until you see them printed and thoughtfully arranged in a beautiful heirloom album. Our custom-designed albums are the perfect way to commemorate the start of this new chapter (and make great gifts for parents, family, friends, or each other).

Full Digital Gallery With Forever Backups

You’ll have unlimited access to your full digital gallery of photos and video. But because we know accidents happen, we’ll back your photos up in three hardcopy locations and also to the cloud. This way, no matter how long it’s been or how many times you’ve moved, bought a new computer, or made an oopsie, you’ll know your photos are safely stored away.

Sneak Peaks Within 72 Hours

Delayed gratification is great—but not when it comes to your wedding photos. Within 72 hours of your wedding, we’ll send over a gallery of sneak peeks for you two to swoon over while you bask in that newlywed bliss.

Complimentary Wedding Rescheduling

Of all the things we can control, weather isn’t one of them. But we won’t let that stop you from having the day you dreamed of. If rain, snow, or bad weather puts a damper on your day, we’ll reschedule to a pre-planned back-up day free of charge.

No Travel Fees Or Hidden Costs

We think this one speaks for itself.

But First, What Counts As An Adventure Elopement or Wedding?

Hint: There’s no wrong answer

Whatever adventure means to you, we’re ready to join. Maybe that’s a weekend full of thrill-seeking adventure sports or maybe it’s something more subtle and serene. If you’re still narrowing down what your story includes, here’s some inspiration to get your ideas flowing. 

Jump in our beautiful cedar canoe and float across an alpine lake—we’ll snap photos while you two share a charcuterie board and exchange favorite stories while dreaming about what’s to come

Grab your skis and hit the slopes—we’ll start with a sip of champagne or a beer cheers at the top before skiing down to meet a few family and friends at the resort for a small ceremony

Charter a private helicopter to a remote location (we know the best pilot)—pack the cake so that you can eat it on top of a mountain while taking in the views 

Pack your camping supplies and we’ll bring the tent for a multi-day wedding adventure—s’mores, fireside stories, and hammocks are a must

Wedding And Elopement Photography FAQS

Typically, an adventure elopement is just the two of you (maybe a handful of loved ones) spending an entire day focused on your adventure and activities. Whereas an adventure wedding typically includes a reception or celebration with 20+ guests. Both infuse adventure and the outdoors into the day (or days), but an elopement is smaller and ditches tradition completely, whereas a wedding includes more people and typical wedding day activities.

Believe it or not, almost every couple we work with says the same thing! Here’s the thing: our approach to capturing your love story is all about natural movement and authentic connection. We’re not here to force you into stiff, awkward poses that don’t feel like you. Instead, we’ll guide you through a series of prompts and activities that’ll have you laughing, exploring, and focusing on each other—not the camera. Before you know it, you’ll be so caught up in the moment that you’ll forget we’re even there. It’s not a photoshoot; it’s an adventure date with your best friend, and we just happen to be there to capture all the magic.

While we’re lucky enough to call the stunning Canadian Rockies home, our love for adventure knows no bounds. We’ve lived the #vanlife, traveling across British Columbia and Tofino in our cozy campervan, and we make a point to spend a couple of months every year road-tripping down to Baja California, Mexico.

But our wanderlust doesn’t stop there—we’re always up for exploring new corners of the globe and capturing love stories in far-flung destinations. So whether you’re dreaming of a sun-soaked elopement on a tropical beach or a romantic getaway in the heart of Europe, we’re all in. Just get in touch, and we’ll work with you to create a custom quote tailored to your unique adventure.

No way! We believe in transparency and simplicity, which means no hidden fees or unexpected costs. When you book with us, you can rest easy knowing that travel fees are included for any of the areas listed within our travel schedule, including the breathtaking Canadian Rockies and Banff National Park.

If your heart is set on a destination wedding or elopement outside of our regular stomping grounds, no worries—just reach out, and we’ll put together a custom quote based on your dream location.

Can we ever! As seasoned travelers and adventure enthusiasts, nothing excites us more than helping our couples plan the trip of a lifetime. When you book with us, you’re not just getting photographers—you’re getting your very own travel concierge duo.

From hidden gem hiking trails to cozy boutique hotels, we’ve got insider knowledge on all the best spots to explore and unwind. Even if you’re planning an elopement abroad, we’ll roll up our sleeves and dive into research mode, helping you craft an itinerary that’s packed with unforgettable experiences and picture-perfect moments.

The sooner, the better! Our calendar fills up fast, with couples often booking 12+ months in advance, especially for those prime summer dates (weekdays included!).

That being said, we know that love doesn’t always follow a set timeline. So even if you’re planning a last-minute elopement or spontaneous adventure, don’t hesitate to reach out. We’ve helped couples bring their dream day to life in just a few short weeks, and we’re always up for a challenge. No matter your timeline, we’ll do everything in our power to make your vision a reality.
