Calgary Documentary Wedding & Family Photographer

Hi, I’m Lisa - a documentary wedding and family photographer based in Calgary. For over a decade, I’ve photographed more than 200 weddings and countless families, capturing people at their happiest and most relaxed.

When I’m not behind the camera, I’m with my two kids and our doodle Harvey, chatting on my podcast, or soaking up the Calgary sunshine. I grew up in the Okanagan and Vancouver, so I’ll always be a BC girl at heart—and yes, Calgary’s sushi truly holds up.

I’m known for my calm presence and ability to make people feel comfortable, creating candid, joyful images that feel like you.

Honest, Heartfelt Storytelling -
Just as It Happened.

A candid, documentary-style approach that lets real moments shine naturally.

Looking at your photos, I want you to truly feel the moment again. My focus when documenting your day is to be as natural as possible - no stiff poses, no forced moments - so you can simply be present. 

With years of experience, I know how to catch the subtle, meaningful gestures that tell your story. These are the images that become part of your legacy.

LET'S CAPTURE YOUR STORY

Kind Words From My Clients

  • “Lisa was absolute magic the entire process of our wedding. She was the best decision we made throughout our wedding planning journey. We wanted to capture raw moments from our day with our family and friends, and we got just that and more. I could not recommend Lisa more! We can’t wait to work with her again for all of our next chapters in life.”

    — Jess & Andrew

  • “Lisa was our wedding and engagement photographer. The photos are a beautiful and sincere representation of our wedding day, our friends and families, and the true bliss of togetherness and love. We are both quite awkward in front of the camera, so we specifically requested candid photos. Lisa made us feel comfortable, she captured true emotional authenticity throughout the entire day, and I did not even notice she was there. It was the best day of our lives, and we now have these gorgeous photos that reflect the unposed sentiment of our experience. Thank you Lisa!”

    — Talia & Jordan

  • “I don't even know where to begin with talking about how amazing Lisa is as a photographer! She has done 3 photoshoots for me and my now husband, including our wedding day last year, and the pictures are amazing. Every single one. She captured more than just the smiles on our faces. She captured the feelings in the moment. She captured the nerves. She captured the laughter. She captured the love. She captured candid moments that we didn't even realize she was capturing. Our albums are more than just a bunch of pretty pictures. The albums tell stories. And we love reliving those stories through her work.”

    — Claire & Chris

  • “We absolutely loved our maternity photo shoot from start to finish. Lisa is not only a talented photographer, but an absolute joy to be around! She makes you feel the most comfortable and has an effortless way of capturing the most beautiful moments. She was able to bring warmth, laughter, and creativity to our session and yet still be attentive to detail. Best photographer ever!! Thank you Lisa! We appreciate you!”

    — Cassie & Bryce

  • “Our newborn photo shoot was everything I had hoped it would be and more. After having a less than stellar experience with our first-born's photo shoot (with a different company), I wanted to have photos taken in our own home, where we were most comfortable. Lisa was amazing; she was fantastic with my four year old, captured our most special moments welcoming our little girl into our lives, and made everything easy. What I love most is that she never stopped taking photos. The most magical shots ended up being the ones we didn't even realize were being taken. Worth every penny, and more.”

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Your Questions, Answered

  • I’m based in Calgary so I love sessions in some of my favourite spots around the city. We are so lucky to have the Rocky Mountains in our back yard and I spend a lot of time photographing weddings in Canmore, Banff and Kananaskis. I’m a BC girl originally so I love any opportunity to travel to the Okanagan, Shuswap and Kamloops. Travel and new destinations are what inspire me so I’m always excited to shoot international weddings, anywhere that you’re dreaming of.

  • During the summer I mostly photograph weddings but I also offer engagement sessions and absolutely love photographing maternity, newborn and family sessions.

  • The first step is to fill out my contact form and make sure that I’m available on your date. Next we’ll set up a Facetime call so we can get to know each other and make sure we vibe. Once you choose me to be a part of your day I’ll send you a short contract and you can provide me with the deposit of $2,000 and then we’re good to go!
