my CLIENTS
Are head over heels. Truly. They laugh together, finish each other's sentences, and can't keep their hands off one another.
Are refined & classy, but pop the champagne early and know how to party late.
Splurge on Christian Louboutin, but know the meaning of the celebration is at the heart of every decision made.
Value aesthetic, but above all, know the real life experience of their wedding day is the most important.
Classic, Romantic & Genuine
the EXPERIENCE
I specialize in the business of romance, capturing unforgettable moments, and over-delivering on customer service.
I. THE DISCOVERY
Send me an inquiry form or email with your wedding date & details! After we complete the contract to secure your date, we'll schedule your engagement session and start talking through timeline and details!
II. THE ENGAGEMENT SESSION
I want your experience to feel like a date ... organic, romantic, and natural. We'll work together to determine the aesthetic, styling and location. The engagement session is where we get to know each other and create stunning images (and have a little fun).
III. THE WEDDING DAY
The wedding day is a beautiful blur - but rest assured, I'll be there every step of the way to capture how your wedding felt, not just how it looked. I'll be there to capture all the moments, scenery, design and portraits for a luxurious, comprehensive, completely personal story of your love.

APPRECIATION FOR FINE DETAILS
Classics transcend trends. That little black dress. A Chanel purse. Pearls. Your wedding photos.
Just as Chanel creates exquisite masterpieces that transcend trends, I believe in crafting wedding photographs that are equally timeless and exceptional. My team of skilled photographers possess an innate understanding of capturing moments that exude style, elegance and grace.
PRESERVING THE EMOTION
We understand the weight of responsibility that comes with preserving the memories of your wedding day—the significance of each tear shed, every vow exchanged, and the palpable love that permeates the air.
It is with profound reverence and a deep understanding of the power of storytelling that we embark on this day alongside you.
organic, romantic, and natural
IT'S A BEAUTIFUL THING WHEN THE RIGHT PEOPLE WORK TOGETHER.
I understand and love that my approach is not for everyone. I genuinely love how I'm able to connect with couples who have the same approach to love and values that I have.
My couples are kind, creative, and think outside the box. They love good style elements, are inspired by European architecture and vintage movies, love some traditions but not just for tradition's sake, and want to throw a wedding day that reflects who THEY are.
They love adventuring, exploring and discovering the world. Most of all, my couples treat others with love and respect, value family, and know that their wedding day is about celebrating the beginning of a lifetime together.

HELLO AND WELCOME
I'm a photographer, a mother, a wife, an animal lover, a travel enthusiast, and yes, turns out I'm also a romantic. I currently live in Calgary, but grew up in Kelowna, and studied at university in Vancouver. I worked in finance for 10 years prior to photography.
I'm an old soul. I appreciate deep conversations and a good cabernet. I would photograph everything in black & white forever if I could. My playlist repeats Nina Simone, Frank Sinatra, and Lana Del Ray. My Favourite movies would include Dirty Dancing and Pretty Woman. I can't get enough of classic architecture. My favourite cities are London, Paris, and Venice. I know - Cliche.
In my photography, I'm known for capturing and curating those cheeky, flirtatious moments. The kind that when you look at them, they make you feel like you're stealing a glimpse into tender moments. Those are the types of photos you'll look back on and love.
I believe that when you look at a photograph, it should tell a story. It should elicit an emotion. In the case of wedding photos, it should bring you back to how that moment felt - 2, 20, 50 years later. I want you to look at your wedding album and transport back to that moment.
I believe that imperfection can be beautiful. It's my intention, every time, to capture genuine moments, perfect or imperfect, in the most flattering way possible.
I want you to feel the most beautiful you've ever felt when you're in front of my camera. I also want you to feel real and value being in the moment.
Cheers,
Kyra Vesuwalla
