When it comes to wedding photography, a beautiful venue can make all the difference. We’re always looking for spaces with gorgeous natural light, beautiful surroundings and plenty of options for portraits throughout the day.
Here are a few of our favourite Calgary-area wedding venues for beautiful wedding photography and natural light.
Hemingway Room
The Hemingway Room is such a beautiful option for couples who love a classic, romantic feel. The space has gorgeous natural light and elegant details that photograph beautifully, giving you plenty of options for both candid moments and portraits.
St. Mary’s Church
There’s something timeless about wedding photos inside a beautiful church, and St. Mary’s delivers that classic feel. The architecture, tall ceilings, and soft natural light create an elegant backdrop for ceremony photographs.
The Lake House
If you love a romantic, slightly rustic setting, The Lake House is a favourite. Between the natural surroundings, warm interior details, and beautiful light, there are plenty of opportunities for wedding photos that feel very intimate.
Pinebrook Golf & Country Club
Pinebrook is one of those venues where the views do a lot of the work for you. Floor-to-ceiling windows bring beautiful natural light into the reception space, while the surrounding landscape and gardens create gorgeous options for outdoor portraits.
Cochrane Ranch House
For couples who want a mix of indoor and outdoor photography, Cochrane Ranch House is a great option. The large windows throughout the venue allow plenty of natural light in, while the surrounding ranch and mountain views create a beautiful backdrop for portraits.
MVE The Heritage Centre
The Heritage Centre is full of photo opportunities from the moment you arrive. Between the historic home, outdoor spaces, prairie views, barn, and beautiful reception spaces, you can create a full gallery without feeling like you’re taking the same photo in the same spot all day. The Heritage Home also offers beautiful soft morning light for getting-ready photos.
Trolley 5
For something a little more modern and unconventional, Trolley 5 is a great choice. The upstairs atrium is filled with natural light thanks to its floor-to-ceiling windows. This creates a bright space for both your ceremony and reception. It also has a completely different feel from a traditional wedding venue, which makes for some really fun photos.
There’s no one type of venue that makes a wedding gallery beautiful. It’s really about finding a space that feels like you and gives you plenty of room to enjoy the day, while also giving your photographer some beautiful light and interesting spaces to work with.
