Your Destination Elopement Photographer, Videographer, and Planning Duo
Serving Banff, Ontario, Iceland, and beyond
Keep the traditions you love and break the ones you don’t. We’ll help you create an elopement filled with the people, places, unique little details, and moments that actually mean something to you two.
Being Unapologetically you Gets Noticed
Make your own traditions
You Never Wanted a Wedding That Felt Like Everyone Else’s Anyway
You care way more about saying your vows somewhere that makes you feel alive than walking down the aisle just because that’s “what weddings look like.” You want time to soak in the extraordinary view, get your clothes a little dirty, hang out with your favourite person, and actually enjoy the fact that you just got married.
Your elopement doesn’t need to be packed with plans to be meaningful. We’ll help you plan a day with room to linger longer, laugh until you can’t anymore, enjoy the scenery, and let the day happen naturally without constantly wondering what’s happening next. The best organic moments happen when you have the space to be in them together.
Around here, wanting an elopement day that feels this much like you is kinda the whole damn point.

At The Organic Moment, We Celebrate Your Love and the Outdoors Exactly As They Are
We really care about two things around here: empathetic lovers and the planet. That means following Leave No Trace principles, respecting park rules, protecting wildlife, and doing our part to keep these places beautiful for the people who come long after us.
It also means fuck the patriarchy and every outdated idea about what your love, marriage, bodies, gender, or relationship is supposed to look like. Whether you’re LGBTQIA2S+, BIPOC, disabled, or any body, size, age, nationality, religion, or spirituality, you deserve to be authentically celebrated and have your story told with care.
If you don’t believe the same, follow Mama Ru’s wise words and sashay away.

Newlyweds Who Did It Their Way
“The tl;dr is: Liz and Jason are really extraordinary, both as artists and as people, and you should absolutely hire them. Their balance between adventure and ceremony is perfect, and you won’t regret working with them.”

Your new besties behind the cameras
We’re Liz (She/Her) and Jason (He/Him), Best Friends Turned Lovers Turned Husband-And-Wife Photo and Video Team
Storytelling has been part of our lives for a long time
Liz has been behind the camera for nearly two decades, photographing everyone from Florence and The Machine and The Pixies to Arctic Monkeys, Half Moon Run, and more wonderful musicians before finding her way to love stories. Jason first picked up the video camera at age 13 and has spent over 16 years in the art department working professionally in film and television on projects like The Handmaid’s Tale, Chucky, The Vampire Lestat, and Fellow Travellers.
In 2019, we packed our bags and spent nine months travelling together. Somewhere between all that time spent outside, exploring new places, and dreaming about what we really wanted our life to look like, we realized we wanted more of this: more nature, more slowness, more travel, more time together, and more stories about people courageously doing things their own way.
Now, we spend our days combining everything we love most: art, film, photography, beautiful places, and people in love.
we’re always up for adventure

We Will Never Tell You What Your Elopement Needs, but Adding Video Does Get Our Vote
We have our own wedding photos, but we wish like hell we could press play
When we got married, we skipped adding video. It breaks our hearts knowing there are pieces of that day we will never get to experience again, like the way our voices sounded saying our vows.
(We’re movie buffs, too, so yeah, having a movie about our love from our wedding day would have been an incredibly awesome keepsake.)
That’s why having the option to add video to your elopement is so important to us. Your photos let you freeze a moment in time, but video lets you step back inside it. Years from now, you can hear your voices, watch the way you looked at each other, and see the landscape moving around you exactly as it did that day.
You can add a beautiful custom video album to live on your coffee table, nightstand, or shelf, ready to open and press play whenever you want to go back.
More Ways to Slow Down and Exhale
When you want to connect or seriously need to disconnect
Photography and video might be where we started, but creating space for people to breathe and feel more like themselves has always been a bigger part of what we do.
For Couples
Make a little more room for you two
Add wellness experiences to your elopement that ground you in the moment together. We’ll help you work them into your day, from couples yoga and tarot readings to Reiki and Thai yoga massage, these experiences can make your day feel even more like yours.
For Photographers
Turn on your DND for a little while
Our retreats and 1:1 mentorships give photographers space to step away from the constant creating, documenting, editing, posting, and doing. Join us to slow down, reconnect with yourself and your creativity, grow with guidance, connect with fellow storytellers, and spend a little time being a human instead of the person behind the camera.

“Liz and Jason were fun, professional, and went out of their way to make us feel comfortable. Neither of us would consider ourselves experienced or comfortable in front of a camera, but you would never be able to tell looking at the end result.”
