Calgary Wedding Photographers
Stress-free experience & timeless, unscripted photos for the old soul romantics
Documentary wedding photography is for those who value presence over performance.
Focused on moments that are not scripted or staged.
Your wedding day documented as it really happens, so you can be present in it instead of performing for it.
Showing how it felt with imagery created from real life instead of a shot list.
★★★★★
“Their kindness, creativity, attention to detail, and ability to capture not just how beautiful the day was, but how it felt, truly blew us away. They have such a gift for making you feel comfortable, and they captured the most amazing candid moments without ever feeling intrusive.”
Emily + Michael
You want your Calgary wedding photos to be a reflection of who you are
Real life is spontaneous and one-of-a-kind. And your wedding day is as real as it gets. It’s not a performance or a photoshoot. It’s everyone you love together in one room, maybe for the first and only time.
You don’t want a generic shot list. You want to see your dad tearing up before the ceremony, the impromptu group hug with your best friends, and your grandma getting down on the dance floor.
You don’t need a photographer who pulls you out of real life. You want someone who blends into your day and captures the real, unscriped moments along the way.
That’s where we come in.
HI, We’re Abby + Dave
Your Calgary wedding photographers & personal hype crew
We’ve been shooting weddings together for as long as we’ve been a couple, 17 years now!
We believe that unscripted moments, genuine connection, and being present for your once-in-a-lifetime day is what will matter most when you look back on your day.
We love helping the shyest of introverts feel like rockstars in their photos, being so organized that everything can flow like a dream, and catching the moments we know will matter even more in 5, 10, 20 years from now.
We’re here to make it so you don’t have to worry about the photography part of your day at all; so you can relax and enjoy every moment.

“Abby + Dave were a really calming presence and helped us feel like ourselves. Their photos are absolutely stunning and perfectly capture the day.
Their emails leading up to the event were so well organized and made me feel so taken care of and like they were fully on top of it.
And their intake form was so thorough, it allowed the day to flow really smoothly and capture all the key shots I wanted. Would hire them again in a heartbeat if I could!”
