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.

You can also follow me on Twitter or Facebook. Thank you for visiting my site!

Even though someone’s teeth can look nice in person, sometimes warm light reflections and shadows can cause their teeth to look much darker or yellower than...

Family Photos in Riley Park, Calgary

Earlier this month, myself and this family of five (six including the dog!) braved the chilly weather to get some family photos in the park. We cut the session shorter than planned because we were all getting a bit uncomfortable. Brrr! So strange how the weather so suddenly turned. Here is their sneak peek:

Despite the...

Ray & Aya – Engagement

Just as I write this post, it is currently snowing outside. Just like every year, my husband assures me that it’s more than late enough in the year for snow, and every year I stare at it as if it’s far too soon. So this weekend has been snowing and cold, but last week it...

Diane & Shawn’s Family

Over the last several months, I have been privileged to do three separate shoots for the same family: Diane’s maternity shots, newborn photos of Poet, and last weekend, a family session with the entire group. It was a unique opportunity to really have everyone get very comfortable with me, and to get used to seeing...
