How to Make Your Wedding Photos as Unique as You Are – Tips from a Calgary Wedding Photographer
Your wedding day is one of the most personal, emotional, and memorable days of your life—so your photos should reflect that. As Calgary wedding photographers, we believe your photos shouldn’t look like anyone else’s. Whether you're saying “I do” in the heart of Calgary, in charming Cochrane, or surrounded by the Rockies, your love story deserves to be captured in a way that’s uniquely you.
Here are some fun and creative ideas to make your wedding photos one-of-a-kind:
1. Choose a Location That Tells Your Story
Calgary and Cochrane offer incredible photo spots—from skyline views and mountain trails to rustic venues like the Cochrane RancheHouse. Why not pick a spot that holds meaning to your journey as a couple? Maybe it’s a quiet hiking trail, your favorite coffee shop, or that breathtaking hilltop where you got engaged.
Pro Tip from your Calgary wedding photographer: Want something more unique? We love scouting hidden gems that most couples don’t even know about.
2. Include Your Favorite Things
Your wedding photos should reflect who you are as a couple. Love animals? Bring your dog (or horse!) for a cameo. Are you foodies? Share a candid moment eating ice cream at Cochrane’s famous MacKay’s. Into adventure? Let’s grab some shots of you in hiking boots with the Rockies behind you.
3. Add a Pop of Personality
Think beyond traditional wedding poses! Incorporate fun props like colorful smoke bombs, vintage bikes, or a cozy blanket for snowy winter shots. Personal touches like custom jackets, cowboy boots, or heirloom accessories also help make your photos feel unique.
We’ve brought smoke bombs, or confetti cannons along before to weddings, and it is SO much fun!
4. Time Your Day for the Best Light
Cochrane’s golden hour—those magical minutes before sunset—is pure perfection for glowing, romantic photos. Whether it’s a sun-kissed summer evening or a dreamy winter sunset, planning your photos around the light will take them to the next level.
5. Trust Your Calgary Wedding Photographers
No two couples are alike, and as Calgary wedding photographers, our job is to bring out what makes you shine. Whether you’re laid-back, goofy, emotional, or all of the above—we guide you through the process so your photos feel natural, genuine, and full of love.
