You’ve heard the term “Documentary Wedding Photographer” but what does it mean?

Documentary wedding photography is the art of noticing. It’s capturing moments that are fleeting, subtle, or unnoticed by most, transforming them into something timeless. A skilled wedding photographer doesn’t simply snap pictures—they observe, absorb, and then frame the world through their lens, bringing attention to the beauty and stories that lie within the details of everyday life.

In other words, you’re probably not a model - and you don’t need to be. Documentary wedding photography is photography for couples who appreciate amazing photos but don’t want it to be the focus of their day. Couples who want the focus to be on their experience and the time and moments they share with each other and their guests.

If this speaks to you and your values I’d love to chat with you about capturing your wedding in Calgary, Canmore, Banff or any other destination you’re dreaming of.
