How to Make Your Wedding Photos as Unique as You Are
Your wedding day is one of the most personal and memorable moments of your life, so why should your photos look like anyone else’s? In Cochrane, Alberta, (or anywhere in Alberta really…) with its jaw-dropping mountain backdrops, cozy small-town charm, and endless natural beauty, it’s easy to make your wedding photos truly yours. Here are some fun and creative ideas to help you create one-of-a-kind wedding photos that scream YOU!
1. Pick a Meaningful Location
Cochrane is packed with stunning photo spots, but why not choose one that feels personal to your love story? Maybe it’s a quiet riverside trail where you hike together, the historic Cochrane RancheHouse for a rustic vibe, or a hilltop with sweeping Rocky Mountain views. A location tied to your story adds extra emotion to your photos.
Pro Tip: Want something off the beaten path? We’ll scout out hidden gems just for you!
2. Include Your Favorite Things
Your wedding photos should reflect who you are as a couple. Love animals? Bring your dog (or horse!) for a cameo. Are you foodies? Share a candid moment eating ice cream at Cochrane’s famous MacKay’s. Into adventure? Let’s grab some shots of you in hiking boots with the Rockies behind you.
3. Add a Pop of Personality
Think beyond traditional wedding poses! Incorporate fun props like colorful smoke bombs, vintage bikes, or a cozy blanket for snowy winter shots. Personal touches like custom jackets, cowboy boots, or heirloom accessories also help make your photos feel unique.
We’ve brought smoke bombs, or confetti cannons along before to weddings, and it is SO much fun!
4. Time Your Day for the Best Light
Cochrane’s golden hour—those magical minutes before sunset—is pure perfection for glowing, romantic photos. Whether it’s a sun-kissed summer evening or a dreamy winter sunset, planning your photos around the light will take them to the next level.
5. Trust Your Photographer
Every couple is different, and our job as photographers is to highlight what makes you special. Whether you’re goofy, adventurous, romantic, or laid-back, we’ll guide you through poses that feel natural and fun, so your photos capture your authentic vibe.
