LET’S FIND SOMEPLACE WILD.

We are Russell & Chloe, a local couple from Canmore, Alberta. We are passionate about capturing your unique experience through photo and film that is both timeless and authentic . Our identities, as individuals and as a company, are deeply intertwined with the natural surroundings of the Rocky Mountains. We use these familiar landscapes and local knowledge to inform, inspire, and elevate our work. Our energetic nature and adventurous spirits are evident during our shoots and in the final product. We specialize in spotting and encouraging sweet, special moments without pulling focus from your day.

 
 

documentary PHOTOGRAPHY for the lovers.

The intangible, unspoken, unscripted things that happen and transport you right back to where you were in that moment in time. The little details that come together to make your story.

 

story-driven wedding films that make you feel.

We believe in cinematic storytelling driven by the soul of your relationship; in crafting films as epic as the people who inspire them.

love notes

Black & White provided photography and videography services for our intimate wedding in September 2020 and my husband and I could not have been more thrilled with how perfectly Chloe & Russell captured our special day.

Chloe & Russell took the time to get to know us as a couple through meeting with us several times and were so personable that we immediately felt comfortable as they captured footage of us. They both have an incredible eye and know just the right angles to get the most incredible, flattering shots. We were so excited when we received our wedding photos and videos that we had so many amazing moments that we can look back on to remind us of the day.

Finding the right photographer and videographer can be stressful, but we knew from our first meeting that Black & White would be the perfect fit for us and we were right! Through all the craziness of 2020, with our rescheduling and shifting of locations, Chloe & Russell were very responsive, accommodating, and professional as we worked together to navigate our changes in plans. Not only that, but they made our day even more memorable through adventuring with my husband and I to get some incredible, unique footage!

I would highly recommend Black & White for anyone looking to hire photography and videography services for their engagement, wedding, or special occasion. Thank you so much Chloe & Russell!

Hands down the best decision we made for our wedding day! Black and White took the most stunning and beautiful photos and video of our wedding day and we could not be more thankful! Chloe and Russell are so amazing to work with and easy-going willing to listen to any ideas you may have. They were always quick to respond to emails and any questions or concerns we had. Would recommend them over and over again! If you need a photographer/videographer absolutely choose Black + White they are incredible!

Chloe was absolutely amazing on our wedding day! She was so receptive, and captured everything (plus some) that I ever could have wanted! Our photos turned out beautifully and it is all because of the professionalism and expertise that she demonstrated throughout the entire day. Her skill set exceeds that of taking photos - she even went so far as helping us coordinate the wedding day schedule, and recommending beautiful spots for images. Thank you so so much to the team at Black and White Photography for being there to document our special day.

Chloe was amazing! She was our first ever experience with a professional photographer when we asked her to do our engagement shoot. She was so sweet and patient and kind. Not only did we feel better prepared for our wedding photos, but we got some sweet memories in the meantime. 10/10 would recommend!
