Calgary Wedding Photographer

Let’s tell your story!

Every Love Story Deserves a Unique Visual Narrative

Your wedding day is more than an event — it's the celebration of your unique love story. As a wedding photographer in Calgary, Alberta, I document authentic moments with creativity and passion: from the quiet intimacy of a first look to the energy of a packed dance floor, from delicate details to grand celebrations.

I specialize in working with couples who aren't afraid to break from tradition and express their unique style. My approach is collaborative — your personalities and the connection you share are reflected in every image. The result is photography that is both artistic and meaningful: timeless memories you'll cherish for a lifetime.

I book a limited number of weddings each year so every couple gets my highest level of care and creativity.

Wedding Photography Across Calgary & Beyond

Based in Calgary and available worldwide, I photograph weddings throughout the city and the surrounding Rocky Mountain region:

  • Calgary — downtown venues, rooftop celebrations, and intimate restaurant weddings

  • Banff & Canmore — mountain ceremonies with unforgettable backdrops

  • Lake Louise — alpine elopements and adventure sessions

  • Airdrie, Cochrane & Okotoks — hometown celebrations close to family

  • Destination weddings — wherever your story takes you

My Approach

Unposed, honest, artistic. I won't park you in stiff poses for an hour. Instead, I create a relaxed environment where genuine emotion happens — then I capture it. When direction helps, I guide you gently. The goal is always the same: photographs that feel like you, not like a photoshoot.

  • Consultation meetings to plan your timeline and shot list

  • High-resolution edited images with digital download and printing rights

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does a wedding photographer cost in Calgary?

Calgary wedding photographers typically charge between $2,000 and $5,000 for full-day coverage, depending on hours, experience, and what's included. My packages start at $999 for elopements and intimate ceremonies, with full-day coverage from $3499.

How far in advance should we book our wedding photographer?

I recommend booking 9–12 months ahead, especially for summer Saturdays in Calgary and Banff, which fill fastest. That said, always ask — last-minute dates sometimes open up.

Do you travel outside Calgary for weddings?

Yes. I regularly photograph weddings in Banff, Canmore, and Lake Louise, and I'm available for destination weddings worldwide. Travel fees depend on location — ask for a custom quote.

What is your photography style?

My style is candid, artistic, and unposed. I focus on genuine emotion and honest moments rather than stiff, formal posing — with gentle direction when it helps you look and feel your best.

How many photos will we receive, and when?

You'll receive a full gallery of high-resolution edited images (typically 50 images per hour), delivered via email and a private online gallery within 6–8 weeks. A sneak peek arrives within 24 hours on select packages.

Do you offer engagement sessions?

Yes — engagement sessions are available as an add-on. They're a great way to get comfortable in front of the camera before the wedding day.

What happens if it rains on our wedding day?

Rocky Mountain weather is unpredictable, and I’m ready for it. I bring rain covers for my gear and clear umbrellas, and some of my favourite images were made in dramatic weather. We’ll also build a rain plan into your timeline during our consultation.

Do you carry backup equipment?

Yes — I shoot with professional backup cameras, lenses, and memory cards at every wedding, so your day is protected no matter what.
