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!

New disc packaging! | Calgary Photographer

New Year, New Photography Pricing

2010 is now underway, and with the new year, I’ve launched new pricing! I meant to do this a little sooner, but it’s been a busy time. Prices will still be very reasonable, but I need to increase them slightly to cover all the extra expenses that go with being a photographer, particularly the time...

The Holidays Are Here!

I shot a wedding on Saturday, probably on the coldest day I have ever been outside for photography. It was around -30C (that’s -22F to you south of the border), with a windchill making it quite a bit colder. The bride was determined (and brave!), and with bare arms, neck, and ankles, smiled and posed...

Photography Books

Books are one of my favourite ways to learn. Unlike a class — when you are struggling with something at 2am, trying to figure it out — a book is always at-hand. You can learn at your own pace, bookmark pages, and find things in the index. Books are love, and I was a total...

iMac & Adobe Lightroom

It’s been far too long since I’ve updated! It’s been a busy start to the year, although kind of slow going because I was having some real computer issues. My PC is six years old, and it was no longer able to handle basic things, like image correction or even storing larger files. It was...
