Specialist Edmonton wedding photographer Dani Alyssa blends light-toned, romantic imagery with creative direction to capture real connection. Calm, personable approach for stress-free engagement and wedding sessions.
I’m Dani Alyssa — an Edmonton-based wedding photographer who specializes in capturing the real connection, joy, and romance of your wedding day. From the moment I received my first professional camera in 2011, photography became my way of preserving honest emotion. Over the years I’ve invested heavily in education and experience, refining a light-toned, romantic aesthetic with a creative edge that stands out while still feeling timeless. My approach centres on connection: I work to create a relaxed, joyful atmosphere where couples feel comfortable being themselves. Whether we’re photographing an intimate engagement session or your full wedding day, I blend gentle posing and creative direction with a documentary eye for candid moments. The result is a collection of images that feels both gorgeous and genuine — thoughtful portraits alongside spontaneous, emotional moments. Working with me is collaborative and straightforward. I start with a conversation to learn what matters most to you — the must-have portraits, the little moments you worry about, and the overall flow of your day. I’m organised behind the scenes so you don’t have to be: I help with timing, group shots, and quiet prompts that get natural reactions. On the day I stay easygoing and present, guiding when needed and stepping back to capture authentic interactions. My wedding and engagement photography is rooted in creativity and kindness. Couples describe my style as romantic, light, and a little creative — perfect for those who want images that feel thoughtful rather than overly posed. I serve Edmonton, Sherwood Park, St. Albert, the Rocky Mountains and Central Alberta, and I’m available for destination celebrations worldwide. When I’m not photographing weddings, you’ll often find me consuming too much video content, listening to podcasts (Casual Criminalist is a favourite), or being the best Auntie to two wonderful kids. I love working with couples who want beautiful, honest photos and a photographer who cares as much about the experience as the final images. If you’re planning a wedding in Edmonton or beyond and want a calm, creative photographer who captures real connection, I’d love to hear from you.
