Calgary Wedding Photographer | Redfern Photography bio picture

I'm Lisa Redfern, a photographer based in Calgary, Alberta, Canada, specializing in weddings and portraits -- people are my primary subject. I shoot in a portrait journalist style, which is a combination of capturing moments as they happen, and posed portrait shots.

This all started for me in university, where I shot my first wedding in 1997, while I was studying photography (it was film and darkrooms back then!). Photography brings so much happiness not only to my life, but also to my clients. Being allowed in to peoples' lives and events is such a happy privilege, I feel very honoured to be capturing memories and sharing in special occasions.

My purpose in blogging is for my clients to have the chance to get to know me a bit better in the comforting glow of their own computer. I don't take myself too seriously, and want every session to be a fun experience for myself and my subjects while striving to capture beautiful images. The most frequent comment I get at the end of a shoot is "that was fun!", which is about the best compliment I could get.

Heather & Bryan – Engagement

This past weekend here in Calgary was optimal for photos — fall leaves, and warm weather with beautiful sunshine. I had a number of photo sessions and was extremely glad the weather cooperated. During one shoot at Confederation Park, I counted at least six wedding parties there at the same time, each with their photographers in tow. Seriously, the place was swarming with newlyweds and their photographers, I’ve never seen anything quite like it. Even Riley Park on a Saturday didn’t quite match up with this. Wedding parties were lined up to take their turn, each waiting to shoot at scenic spots. The arched bridge was a popular spot that didn’t spend much time without a bride and a groom on it. Sunday was a bit quieter for the engagement session I did with Heather & Bryan. I wanted to share a few sneak peeks:

They are a gorgeous couple to photograph, and easy to get along with. I’m really looking forward to shooting their wedding in December, I think we’re all hoping we get a slightly different kind of weather — some pretty snow (but just a bit!). Thank you two for a great session!
