Why Calgary Families Love Working With Us
We are both shy but he made us feel super comfortable. We thoroughly enjoyed the session. Even for a mini session he put in all the time needed. Great experience. He is our lifelong photographer now 🙂
Our candids turned out amazing. Every important moment was captured beautifully in HD shots at just the right time. Every twirl of your dress and every emotional moment will get captured! All of our family was really happy with his services which made them even more worth it.
It was the best decision we could have made. He worked with us every single step of the way from setting up the initial appointment to meet, to our final meeting organizing and selecting photos for our album.
Right from our first conversation we knew we made the right choice! He ended up photographing our engagement session and the mini album from those photos blew us away, we could not have been more excited for our wedding photos
I had never really been in front of the camera before but he made it so easy and comfortable for us. Couldn't be happier with the photos and I can't wait to see our Wedding photos!!
All of our family and friends loved his presence. We can’t thank you enough for being our photographer.
