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!

Ashley & Craig | Calgary Wedding Photographer

Well, it’s definitely wedding season! For some reason I have ended up with the long weekend off coming up (not that I am complaining). However, nearly every other weekend this summer, I have a wedding to shoot. Having them one after the other like this highlights the differences between families, ceremony styles, and brides/grooms themselves....

Jody & Dean | Calgary Wedding Photography

On Sunday morning, I was privileged to be a part of a small and intimate wedding at Lougheed House here in Calgary. When Jody originally contacted me about the possibility of photographing their wedding, I confessed to her that had my husband and I gotten married in Calgary, it probably would have been at that...

Why Engagement Photos Are Important

My base wedding package always includes engagement photos — there’s no discount for skipping an engagement session. Many couples mention that they don’t know if they really want or need engagement photos, especially if they’ve been engaged for a while.
On the other hand, I also speak with some couples who have specific purposes in...

Heather & Bryan – Calgary Wedding Photography

As I mentioned in my previous post, the wedding I shot on Saturday was one of the coldest ever! I did an engagement session with Heather and Bryan a couple of months ago, and it seems like hardly any time had passed until it was their wedding. It was a beautiful day, and Heather and...
