Everyone in the Clearing
A relaxed outdoor wedding party portrait in an evergreen clearing, where formal photographs loosen enough to remember the whole group, not only the couple.
Formal portraits can still leave room for play.
In a clearing like this, the group settles into itself: champagne in hand, someone taking a selfie, a couple turning toward each other while the trees hold the frame. Alberta summers give you that kind of light—bright enough for colour, soft enough for people to stop performing.
The photograph remembers the whole company, not just the two at the centre.
Outdoor wedding party portraits should still feel like the people in them. In an Alberta clearing, with trees, sun, and a little looseness, the formal group photograph can become part of the celebration instead of a break from it.
