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!

Sarah & Jeremy Engagement Photos at the Rundle Ruins

This session was the same night as the Calgary Stampede Sneak-a-Peek, which probably wasn’t the best night to try to find parking at the Rundle Ruins park — it is within a very short walk of the Saddledome and the Calgary Stampede grounds. Parking was at a premium. Still, we prevailed, and managed to capture...

Aspire & Tracy | Calgary Wedding Photos In The Rain, Chinese Cultural Centre

You’ll notice I talk about the ever-changing Calgary weather a lot in this photography blog. When you’re an on-location shooter, weather heavily influences sessions. Sometimes in a good way that presents unique opportunities, and sometimes in a bad way that limits what you can do. Either way, we are all at the mercy of whatever...

One last engagement session to post for now, it’s been a bit of a marathon! Here are a few images as a sneak peek for Mark and Debbie from their session on a lovely evening in Confederation Park here in Calgary. It’s easy to tell how in love these two are, they didn’t mind any...

Aspire & Tracy | Calgary Engagement Photography

Another engagement session! This time, Aspire and Tracy. We enjoyed a nice evening in Confederation Park (one of my favourites). These two are super cute and came SO prepared to the session (with a change of clothes, each). Super easy to work with, it was a pleasure strolling around, even though we got bitten by...

Amanda & Tyler | Calgary Engagement Photographer

The session with Amanda and Tyler was the second of my photographic forays into Reader Rock Garden this year. I really love it as a location, Calgary is pretty dry and it is the only place around here where I have seen actual ferns growing! I had a lot of fun shooting these two, Amanda’s...

Kevin & Jalyn | Calgary Engagement Photography

Reader Rock Garden is a gorgeous oasis in the middle of Calgary, with lush gardens and a path up to a historic house (which is now a cafe). It’s close to the Calgary Stampede Grounds, and it’s amazing how many people don’t know it’s there. I only found out about it after I was watching...
