A Calgary Wedding Still Life from The Ridge Okotoks Recognized Among Canada’s Finest Imagery

I’m so excited to share that one of my images placed 5th in the Wedding Still Life category at the 5th Edition of the Canadian Wedding Photography Awards (CWPA) — a national competition celebrating the artistry and emotion behind Canada’s best wedding photographers.

This particular photograph was captured at a Calgary wedding at The Ridge Okotoks, one of Southern Alberta’s most breathtaking wedding venues. The image highlights what I love most about wedding storytelling — the quiet beauty in the details. The rings, the bouquet, the textures, the light — all the subtle, in-between elements that often carry the most emotion.

A heartfelt thank-you to the CWPA judges, my fellow photographers, and most of all, to the incredible couples who trust me to capture their love stories with honesty, artistry, and soul.

As a photographer whose work is rooted in authentic connection, intentional storytelling, and a cinematic-inspired aesthetic, this award is a reminder that every part of the wedding day — even the still moments — deserve artistry and attention.
