Alberta Wedding Photographer Carolyn Budreski
Calgary Wedding Photographer & Calgary Newborn Photographer:
👋 Welcome! My name is Carolyn Budreski, and I’m a licensed, Federally Incorporated Calgary professional photographer. I provide creative, professional, and fun photography services across Canada, but I primarily work throughout Southern Alberta and Interior BC. 📸 I truly love what I do — and I have fun doing it!
💬 Let’s Talk About You
What’s your wedding vision?
Do you love light and airy images? Or are you drawn to dark and moody tones?
Maybe you’re dreaming of something blushy and boho, or bold and dramatic — fiery, smoky, soft, or sparkly? If I’ve learned anything from my 15+ years shooting weddings, it’s this: It’s not about me — it’s about YOU. And my answer is always: "Yes, I can do that." If you like what you see so far, I’d love to connect. Send me a quick message, tell me about your day, and let’s see if we’re a fit! ✨ Looking for something specific that’s not listed here? Don’t be shy — I’m always up for creative new challenges.
🎬 From Weddings & Newborns to the World of Film & Television
Over the pandemic, I had the amazing opportunity to work in the film industry, learning from the best of the best. I worked on productions such as: Fargo, The Last of Us, Ride, High School, Land, Under the Banner of Heaven, Joe Pickett, Fraggle Rock, Jann, Black Summer 2, A Teacher, Heartland, Cape Holly Christmas, Retreat to You, Chasing Midnight — and more!
👉 Learn more about me here I’m thrilled to bring everything I’ve learned behind the scenes in film & television into your wedding photos — from lighting and angles to storytelling and cinematic flair.
