Liv Hettinga Photography

We planned our intimate ceremony/elopement in Banff with less than 2 months to the date. After coming across Liv on Instagram, we knew her style was exactly what we were after. Liv made our experience so seamless- she offered us local vendors, locations, and provided feedback to us when necessary. The day of our wedding was perfect. Liv recommended Lake Minnewanka for our ceremony location since our family was staying in Canmore, and Lake Louise was quite a distance away. The entire day was perfect. Neither me or my husband love being in front of the camera, so having a photographer who just tagged along and took candid shots throughout the day was great. Liv went above and beyond! After our ceremony she braved the cold and travelled up the Sulphur Mountain gondola with us for portrait shots. Not to mention, she even came equipped with a hand warmer and leggings for under my wedding dress. We were so excited for our sneak peek photos after spending the day with her. We figured after our week long trip we would get home and check them out. Instead, she had them to us the day after! We are in love! I cannot say enough good things about Liv. Do yourself a favour and book her!

For all of the awkward and camera-shy brides (and grooms) out there, I cannot recommend Liv enough! She has such a warm and comforting presence that put me at ease and allowed me and my husband to have the most carefree and magical day. I generally dread taking pictures, but Liv somehow managed to make the whole process fun while capturing the most beautiful photos. Our elopement was perfect, and we couldn't have done it without her

Liv is an incredible photographer, artist and human! Her work is obviously exceptional but it's everything behind the scenes that really makes Liv such a joy to work with. She was organized, responsive, helpful and provided guidance, for MONTHS leading up to our elopement day. She completely over-delivered on everything we had asked for and captured our wedding day in the most authentic way. She was very laid back and chill throughout the day which helped SO much. We really can't say enough good things about this woman. Thank you Liv, for everything!

Were so happy with the photos from our engagement session with Liv! She captured us and the location both so beautifully. Liv was super laid back so the shoot never felt high pressure. She also went above and beyond to ensure we were well prepped before the shoot. She also knew the location super well and knew where to take us to escape the crowds. The photos themselves have such a classic look. I love how she edited them and the moments she captured. We will be looking back on these photos with fond memories for decades to come.

Liv was great for our elopement photography. She was a blast to hang out with for the day and did a great job of setting the scene for capturing some real candid moments. We are in love with every single one of our couples photos and would highly recommend! We will absolutely cherish the photos forever.
