About

Hi, I'm Dave, a wedding photographer based in Calgary and serving all of Alberta.

I shoot weddings with my wife, Natalie. We're a pair of laid-back music fans who enjoy hiking in the mountains just as much as indulging in Sunday Fundays on the patio. Our favourite part of our job is getting to meet and hang out with other fun couples! Just like you, we're in the midst of planning our own wedding together – what an adventure! We know first-hand that the process can be as exciting as it can be stressful. We understand what you're going through, and are happy to help you get to the light at the end of the wedding planning tunnel. I make myself available to my couples to answer whatever questions you might have throughout your entire planning process. Photography-related or not.

While on photo shoots, we strive to create a comfortable environment for our clients so they are able to interact in a natural way. Working to capture the spark between our couples, and showcase this against the iconic backdrops our beautiful Province has to offer, we create timeless images that you will cherish forever.

On your big day, we focus on the little moments, with a candid and photojournalistic approach that will leave you with a collection of images that tell your story in a flattering and upbeat light. During portraits, we aim to create images that capture the beauty surrounding us, and the intimacy between a newly married couple.

Amazing Wedding Photography Experience with Worn Leather!

My partner and I are so appreciative of the amazing wedding photos from Worn Leather Media. We felt that Dave went above and beyond what we would expect as he provided us with a lot of advice as we planned our wedding day. We can say that our timeline was almost entirely built around his very helpful guidance! On the day of the wedding, Dave was very well organised in getting friends, family, and ourselves through potraits efficiently so that we could return to the reception to spend time with our guests. Dave was professional but also very humourous which helped us calm our nerves prior to the ceremony. We felt he really fit in with our group of friends and the help he gave throughout day was very much appreciated.

With regards to the photographer we are absolutely thrilled with the quality of the photos we received back. We received our photos back much earlier than expected which was such a great surprise! Our family photos and personal photos outside of Banff turned out amazing. Dave's style really captured the fun we and our guests had throughout the day.

We would strongly recommend Dave for both his professionalism with our Wedding photos as well as for his natural style in capturing "the moment" without it feeling staged.

True Dream Team!

If I could rate Dave and Natalie higher than 5 stars I would! From the very beginning both Dave and Natalie were absolutely exceptional to deal with! When planning a wedding there are many details and forms to fill out - Dave and Natalie have found a way to make every step of the planning process enjoyable! From the ease and convenience of their planning forms to the pre-wedding meeting they arranged. We loved being able to sit down and have a conversation over a few drinks, getting to know each other better and sharing our dreams and vision for our big day. Dave and Natalie really know how to make you feel special, comfortable and they really take the time to get to know you personally. Dave was always quick to respond to any questions I had, as well as made great suggestions on locations to take photos on the big day. Dave captured our engagement photos and both Dave and Natalie were sure to capture every single moment on our wedding day! Photos are the only thing you have to relive your big day, having a photo of every single family member, friend and special touches ensures you will have a way to forever re-live those special moments. Dave and Natalie truly are a dream to work with! I can not recommend this stellar dream team enough - not only do we have stunning engagement photos, and absolutely amazing wedding photos, but we also have two new friends for life!

Professional, Artistic and Beautiful Photos

We already knew Worn Leather Media was a good fit right from the start when I trolled their portfolio – full of super professional and artistic and beautiful shots.

Then we met Dave and Natalie and we realized that there’s professional photos and there are professional photographers! Dave and Natalie made the whole process fun (I hate getting photos taken – the last professional photographs I had done were 22 years ago at the last wedding lol). They listened – not just to what we were able to articulate but to what was going on in the environment that we weren’t specifically asking them you to address. They captured so many moments throughout the day that we and our guests are going to treasure forever. If it happened, they got it and without any intention other than to do spectacular work, they became an integral component to our enjoyment of the day.
Dave and Natalie are fun to work with and capture memories you didn't even know you wanted. I'm so glad we found them!!

Super happy!

We wanted crisp, clean, natural, candid pictures, and wanted our photography team to be people we wanted around us on our wedding day. We are so happy we found Dave and Natalie! Our engagement session got us more comfortable being behind a camera, and helped us get to know how Dave and Natalie work. We ended up cancelling our wedding and decided to elope on a mountain instead - we were so glad we had hired Dave and Natalie because we knew they’d be down for this adventure! We still had them for the full day and they were able to capture every moment for us. Most of the time we didn’t even notice them taking photos, so our day felt very relaxed without feeling like we needed to pose for pictures. We are able to relive our wedding day through our pictures from start to finish, and we could not be happier with the final product!

Absolutely wonderful experience with incredible photos!

Dave and Natalie captured our engagement photos, and when I say my guy hates photos, it is an understatement. My fiancé now mentioned doing another engagement session with them, which I never dreamed he would be open to!

They are absolutely incredible at making you feel comfortable, relaxed, and their stunning photos of course are the cherry on top. I would recommend them to anyone who wants to have fun, have relaxed fun photos, and enjoy the entire experience!

Just amazing! We would recommend for any occasion!!

Thank you! Thank you! Dave and Natalie are absolutely amazing photographers and out of this world! We couldn't say thank you enough! They've been a huge help navigating this whole wedding chaos!
On our first meeting, they put us at ease and really impressed us with their professionalism, knowledge and fun loving nature. They provided excellent feedback and helped us build an itinerary based on our vision.
During the wedding day, they were extremely flexible to all the changes and delays that naturally occurs with so many moving parts. Their good natured and lighthearted personalities really shined though and helped us stay calm and relaxed.
Dave has a great booming voice for taking command of large crowds for formal photos. And we loved all their ideas for different couple poses, angry penguins 4 life!

Dave and Natalie went above and beyond to make our day feel special. Again we could not thank them enough and would absolutely, 100% recommend them to anybody looking for wedding photographers or photographers for any occasion.

Please give extra belly rubs to Bow from us!

The best wedding photographers!!

We cannot even begin to express our gratitude for to Dave and Natalie for being our photographers for our engagement shoot and wedding. As soon as we had our first meeting with Dave, we were sold. He made us laugh and made us feel confident that we would enjoy spending our entire wedding day with him (and we did!!). We are people who do not like having our photos taken and tend to look awkward, but somehow we felt so comfortable and had so much fun - and this really translated into the photos. They put us at ease and gave us guidance when we needed it, and we really appreciated that.

For our engagement shoot, Dave and Nat were willing to meet us at 3AM and hike a mountain with us to catch the sunrise. The photos were breathtaking and it was an experience we will never forget. They did such a beautiful job capturing the journey of our wedding, and when looking at the photos we feel emotional and remember how we felt when the photos were taken. The photos do not look staged or rehearsed. We didn’t know it was possible for us to look that good and we don’t know how they made every person they took a photo of look like a model. It’s such a special way to remember the best day of our lives.

On top of the beautiful galleries, we had so much fun spending time with them. They had such a fun energy and were amazing to have at the party. They stayed until the end of the wedding and did not charge extra, and had the photos back to us within a reasonable time frame. We now consider Dave and Natalie lifelong friends and we will be reaching out whenever we're in the Banff area. We are so grateful for Worn Leather Media and would not hesitate to recommend them to everyone.
