Hiring someone with experience and a double degree in his craft always has an advantage over others. And if that person qualifies your standard to take photos of your wedding, you are in luck with Kaley-lynn A. Hewitt.

Kaley-lynn has been working with clients under the Briar Rose Photography Home since 2016. A year after, she got her photography diploma from Burwell School of Photography and a graphic design degree from Pixel Blue College.

Although it is ordinary at the surface, we think Kaley-lynn’s move to study her craft despite having a stable business already is a plus point. It gives us the impression that she is passionate about photography.

And that is not a far-fetched claim, as she and her company, Briar Rose Photography and Design, has received numerous recognitions. Along with three associate photographers, their works have garnered a whopping total of nine awards.

Aside from that, 14 different publications have featured her works. Among these include Confetti Magazine, Mover Paris Magazine, and Luxia Magazine.

Similarly, Kaley’s clients are satisfied with the results she brings to the table and her work ethic. Most of them commend her for making them feel comfortable in front of the camera and in accommodating changes–even the last-minute ones.

If you are curious about their works, you can see their wedding and engagement photos on their website. We have to give props to the number of samples and the variety of styles they included in their portfolio.

However, unlike other companies, Kayle-lynn’s rates are not posted on the website. Although only a minor issue, we still think this would pose a minor inconvenience when the clients compare her services with others.

For pet owners, there is no debate that including your beloved furry friends in your wedding photos would produce the best memories ever. And if that is what you are looking for, Jessica Thiesen is a top choice in Edmonton!

Jessica, owner of Deep Blue Photography, can turn your photoshoot ideas with your dogs or cats into reality. It is because, aside from weddings, she can also do family and pet photography.

Upon looking at her photography journey, we discovered that Jessica–with the help of her husband Sunny–has done 220 wedding photoshoots. Since their start in 2013, their works have received 13 awards from different national publications.

Knowing that instills confidence in clients that she is an experienced photographer.

On that note, you can see her portfolio on her website showcasing not only photoshoots from weddings but also engagements, families, and pets. 

In addition to the variety of samples, we also want to point out that Jessica’s portfolio is well-curated. For us, the brief description of each wedding photo set describing the theme and goal setting is the main reason it stands out compared to others.

We also like that her hourly rates for each type of photography service are available on her company’s website.

Aside from Jessica’s skills in capturing memorable moments, their clients like how the tandem works. Aside from being friendly and professional to work with, they describe them as detail-oriented and welcoming to suggestions.

However, we think choosing Jessica’s photography services has limitations. Since they are only a team of two, their manpower would not be enough if you are planning to hold a large wedding ceremony with plenty of guests to take photos of.

With professional experience dating back from 2016, Carlos Vicente of Carlos Vicente Photography can help you remember your precious moments in life. Aside from weddings, he is also available for lifestyle and elopement photography.

Among his repertoire, the latter is what we find the most notable. It is because it is the perfect photoshoot for couples who want a simple and more intimate wedding celebration with the most significant persons in their life.

We are also delighted to share that his rates for each service are available on his website. Carlos’s pricing is in the middle of the average price in Edmonton, as he charges $3700 to $5500 for a wedding, while it is $3000 for elopement.

And although it may seem that his rates are not cheap, the quality of his work justifies the prize. Aside from the different motifs featured, we also like that he included a few short descriptions of the event.

Several publications have put his works in the spotlight. The Rocky Mountain Bride, Confetti Magazine, and How I Shot This are some companies that showed appreciation for his works.

Similarly, the clients of Carlos we interviewed are satisfied with his output, and more so with his work ethic. Aside from being responsive and respectful to his patrons’ ideas, the friendly aura that he brings makes them very comfortable during shoots.

However, we think it would be better if Carlos had a dedicated work portfolio on his website like other photographers. By having that, clients can have an easier way of accessing and browsing it.

Hiring the services of an experienced person lessens the probability that things will go south. So if hiring a professional with such credentials is crucial for your wedding, Amy Moedt is probably the best photographer for the job.

Since 2012, Amy and her company RedTree Photography has been doing photoshoots for families and couples planning for engagement or wedding. Compared with the others we reviewed, she has the most years of business experience.

Besides that, Amy is a Fine Arts graduate from the University of Lethbridge, majoring in Photography. We think this is one of her assets as a photographer because clients can feel assurance that her experience and expertise back her services.

You can be the judge of that by visiting her online gallery. We like her overall portfolio because of the presentation and the bits of description included in each sample, which allows the audience to know her thought process in capturing moments.

In addition to the gallery, you can also peek at Amy’s service rates on her website. Although a bit more expensive than other photographers we reviewed, her pricing of $3999 to $5299 is within the average charge in Edmonton.

Regardless of her charge, most of Amy’s clients are happy with her for their weddings and the result she produces. Her quick turnaround of results and receptiveness to requests and feedback are what most of her clients like about her.

Are you looking for a photographer backed with years of experience? If that is so, we think the expertise of Abhinav Mohan is perhaps the best for your wedding.

Abhinav’s photography journey started at a very young age; he began commissioning works when he was only 15. And in 2012, he made this into a side profession, making him more than a decade old in the photography business. 

And even though he has no formal training, his career with such a history is a plus point. It is because, in our book, a thriving business that came from passion and years of self-training can offer something unique to the table.

Upon seeing his portfolio, anyone can agree that his works speak of quality and experience. Aside from being properly arranged, we also like that he included several samples that allow his clients to examine his style.

Apart from weddings, we noticed that Abhinav also does other types of photography. You can contact him if you need a photographer for photoshoots on fashion, family, business, and various types of events.

Meanwhile, clients of Abhinav commend his services because of his professionalism and the remarkable results he produces. According to them, they like him because of his punctuality and flexibility with their requests.

Aside from those, another notable characteristic of Abhinav is his fluency in Hindi. We think this is good news for clients who are more comfortable speaking in this language.

Meanwhile, Abhinav’s rates range from $1,500 to $3,500, which is within the average in Edmonton and is more affordable than other photographers.

However, unlike most photographers, Abhinav’s rates are unavailable on his website. Although clients can inquire through different means, we think this causes a slight inconvenience for clients who want to compare their rates with others right away.
