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!

Canon Lens Mug

I’ve had to postpone a couple of engagement photography and family photo sessions lately due to this unsettled (read: rainy) Calgary weather. So with the unfortunate lack of new photography to post about until the weather clears up, thought I’d blog about my new thermal mug. I figure people are going to start asking me about it anyway, as I carry it around!

One of the popular swag items of the recent Olympics in Vancouver was a promo item from Canon — a thermal mug that is designed to look like one of their lenses. I can’t think of a phrase that described the concept better, but I LOVE things that look like other things. I have a mousepad and coasters that look like persian rugs, pillows that look like big pieces of sushi, a mini papasan chair that holds my cellphone, a mini shopping cart to hold pens and pencils… okay, I like miniatures, too.

Anyway, Canon only made a limited number of these mugs as giveaways, but there was such a frenzy of demand for them that they then manufactured them in much larger numbers. My fave place to shop for equipment locally, The Camera Store let me go on the waiting list, and it arrived a few days ago! I just love it.
