Last reviewed: August 14, 2026. Film & Forest Photo is a current Canadian Rockies photography and videography business for couples researching Banff elopement photographers, intimate weddings and outdoor-focused celebrations. Its official website presents Andrew and Hayley as a husband-and-wife team of photographers and mountain guides, with a particular focus on adventurous, small-scale wedding experiences.

This listing reflects the current official Film & Forest Photo website rather than the older Calgary contact details attached to the legacy record. The official site identifies services and published starting rates, but does not publish a postal street address or direct business phone number; those fields are therefore intentionally left blank here.

Services and specialization

Film & Forest Photo’s published work centres on adventure elopements, intimate weddings, engagement or couple sessions, and optional elopement video. The team describes its photography approach as movement- and play-based rather than built around stiff posing, with photo and video intended to document an outdoor wedding experience.

For elopements, the company lists two photographers who also act as planners, guides and assistants; at least four hours of photo coverage; planning support; a full digital gallery; no additional travel fees within the stated offering; and an option to add video. Its intimate wedding photography listing includes two photographers and at least six hours of coverage.

The site also offers Adventure Sessions for engagements, couples, anniversaries and pre- or post-wedding occasions. These include two photographers, planning support for location and wardrobe, a full digital gallery, and a published starting rate.

Service area and who it may suit

The company’s current pages position Film & Forest Photo in the Canadian Rockies and name Banff, Canmore, British Columbia and Mexico among its destination areas. Its contact page specifically invites enquiries for adventure weddings and elopements in Canmore, Vancouver, Tofino and beyond. Outside its regular areas, the pricing FAQ says destination work can be quoted individually.

This may suit couples planning a small outdoor celebration, a hiking-oriented elopement, or a wedding day that combines a ceremony with an activity such as paddling, skiing, camping or a helicopter outing. It can also be relevant to couples wanting an engagement session in a mountain setting. Larger conventional weddings, accessibility needs, and the practical suitability of any specific activity should be discussed directly before booking.

Confirmed strengths and practical limitations

A documented feature is the two-person model: the official site states that Andrew and Hayley work as two photographers, planners, guides and assistants for the published photo packages. It also describes planning resources covering locations, vendors, travel, activities, styling and packing, plus full digital galleries with backups.

The business publishes a weather-rescheduling policy for a pre-planned back-up day when poor weather affects the original plan. It also states that sneak peeks are delivered within 72 hours and that a full gallery is delivered within three months. These are useful operational details to confirm in the written agreement for a specific booking.

The practical limitation is that package pricing is only a starting point and the public pages do not publish a complete package-by-package quote, direct telephone number or postal address. The website also distinguishes regular travel areas from destinations that require a custom quote, so couples should not assume every destination is covered on the same terms.

Pricing

Current pricing is explicitly published. Adventure elopement photography starts at $4,500 CAD and includes four or more hours of photo coverage, two photographers, planning support, a full digital gallery, no additional travel fees in the stated offering, and an option to add video.

Adventurous and intimate wedding photography starts at $5,000 CAD, with six or more hours of photo coverage and a similar two-person, planning-led structure. Adventure Sessions start at $1,500 CAD. The standalone adventure elopement video add-on starts at $1,000 CAD and is described as a three- to five-minute highlight video with edited high-resolution video and audio.

The company states that clients receive a full pricing guide after enquiring and that a custom proposal is prepared before signing and paying a retainer. For a destination outside its regular travel schedule, the FAQ says a custom quote is required.

Adventure elopement photography: from $4,500 CAD
Intimate wedding photography: from $5,000 CAD
Adventure Session: from $1,500 CAD
Adventure elopement video add-on: from $1,000 CAD

Contact and booking

Film & Forest Photo directs prospective clients to its online enquiry form. The form asks for names, email, phone number, preferred coverage type, desired date, desired location and event details. Published coverage choices are elopement, wedding, Adventure Session and video.

According to the official booking process, an enquiry triggers a pricing guide and a link to book a free introductory call. The team then prepares a custom proposal; the next published step is to sign, pay the retainer and choose the date before planning begins.

No official public phone number or street address was found on the confirmed domain. Use the official contact form rather than the unverified legacy contact details associated with the older listing.

What couples should confirm

Ask which collection fits the number of guests, desired coverage hours and whether the day involves an activity or multiple locations. Confirm whether both team members will photograph, or whether one will handle video, because the elopement video description assigns Hayley to photography and Andrew to videography.

For Banff, Canmore or another outdoor destination, confirm the exact location plan, weather back-up day, timing, travel-area eligibility and any costs connected to a destination outside the regular schedule. Couples should also confirm the final package price, retainer, cancellation or rescheduling terms, gallery delivery expectations, album or print choices, and video deliverables before signing.

If the celebration involves a demanding activity, discuss the group’s experience, comfort level, safety considerations and any venue or park requirements with the relevant providers. The official site presents the team as mountain guides, but the appropriate plan should be tailored to the specific day.

Current business identity

The confirmed official domain uses the Film & Forest name and presents an active, current site with 2026 copyright information, a live enquiry path, a pricing page and dedicated wedding and elopement content. The homepage describes the business as Banff elopement photographers and adventure wedding videographers for outdoorsy couples.

The present official site identifies Andrew and Hayley as the working team. Earlier legacy material naming different team members and Calgary contact details is not used as evidence for this update. This profile therefore focuses on the current official offering, current destination emphasis and current booking process.
