ROMANTIC STORYTELLING & WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHY


  My name is Darla, and I’m a wedding & adventurous elopement photographer and a romantic storyteller.
 I love - love!  

I am based in Calgary, but happy to travel anywhere your heart desires.


I spend a lot of time exploring the areas around Canmore, Banff, and Jasper and feel at peace when I am within the mountains and nature. â€¨ 

 I love being able to put your story and memories into something tangible, photos that you can cherish forever!


My favourite pictures are the ones that capture that genuine happiness; those huge smiles and the tears that fall when you think no one is watching.
 

Whether you are planning an amazing wedding atop a mountain, in a beautiful beach destination or a simple ceremony in your parent's backyard, 

I would love to be your photographer & hopefully we become new friends in the process :)


What people are saying....

Justice & Zak

We hired Darla based on her availability, an email conversation and a look at her online portfolio.  Hiring a wedding photographer is SCARY; there is so much on the line for that one day...you want every moment captured in the best light, from the best angle.  We signed a contract for 6 hours and met with Darla so that we could talk through order of events, photo locations at the venue, and the general mood and colours we were hoping for.
Talk about exceeding expectations!  On the day of the wedding Darla showed up early (like 3 hours early) and she stayed late as well.  She literally captured every detail; from the venue, to the decor, candids of our guests and of course family shots and phenomenal photos of the bride, groom and wedding party. Then she quickly edited some of the highlights and texted us a link to a shareable online album the NEXT DAY, so that we could upload photos to social media.
We now have 100's of photos (truly amazing photos) on a zip drive as well as a shareable album online that family and friends can download or order photos from directly.
Darla not only did her job but she shared her passion. Her creativity and skill in both capturing and editing photos is unmatched.  Darla was professional, quick to respond to questions, her time management on the wedding day was perfect, and she was skilled at managing large group photos.  I can confidently recommend Darla as a wedding photographer.  If she's available for your big day, book her immediately!

There are no words to adequately describe how incredible our experience with Darla was. We were planning a trip to Banff from Ontario and she was super accommodating every time we had to make changes due to travel restrictions. She went out of her way to make sure she was available for our date and time. She was flexible with our needs and provided helpful advice throughout the planning process. She arrived fully prepared with two cameras and made us feel extremely comfortable during the photoshoot process. She edited and returned the pictures in a timely manner. The pictures were PHENOMENAL! She was able to capture my boyfriend’s secret proposal so beautifully - I am so thankful I will have these memories to cherish forever.


Aimee & Justin

Darla was an amazing photographer. She captured our wedding so beautifully. We wanted a lot of photos taken with our guests and she helped us get this done efficiently and take wonderful photos. She also helped us to pose to get very romantic wedding photos of just the two of us. She had photos available to us on an online album immediately, so we could share them. We love all our wedding photos and we would highly recommend Darla as a wedding photographer. Thanks for everything Darla! You made our day extra special.


Tanya & Kyle

She is amazing! I wouldn't have had anyone else. She paid so much attention to detail and found the perfect locations for my engagement shoots and wedding photos! She was there from morning til night and captured everything and had lots of ideas. And super affordable.

For how tight of space and how many people were in the way, these are beyond amazing.
You have found clients for life in us. 
Thank you so much for all your hard work
