Max Kandl Photography is an Edmonton wedding photography team led by husband and wife Max and Natasha. We photograph weddings, elopements and engagement sessions across Alberta and beyond, with true-to-colour images that capture the unique personality and emotions of each couple. Our goal is simple: deliver exceptional photographs that truly reflect your story.

on your wedding day?

Max Kandl Photography

We believe photography should be about having a good time and capturing real, authentic moments.

We’ll make you feel comfortable and relaxed in front of the camera, and we’re always up for a good joke or two.

Every wedding, elopement or engagement session is about bringing out your unique personality.

meet Max The photographer

Welcome! I'm Max, the owner and lead photographer, and thanks so much for stopping by.

I'm a laid-back, fun-loving photographer who specializes in capturing the joy and excitement of life's special moments, whether it's a wedding, an elopement or an engagement session. I believe photography should be about having a good time and capturing real, authentic moments.

I'll make you feel comfortable and relaxed in front of the camera, and I'm always up for a good joke or two. When I'm not behind the camera, you'll often find me exploring the stunning landscapes of Alberta and drawing inspiration from its natural beauty.

Behind the camera

More friend than photographer

By the end of the day we’re not strangers with a camera any more. We’re the ones cheering you on, fixing a veil, cracking a joke before the next photo, and yes, sneaking in a selfie with the two of you.
