About
Hey I'm Liv, owner of Liv Hettinga Photography. I specialize in photographing and planning adventure elopements and small weddings. I love to work with brides who are adventurous, wild, quirky, & unique. Who aren't afraid to get their feet a little dirty and who want to break tradition.
I believe everyone has a unique story and their wedding photos should reflect that. I love adventuring with my couples and will climb to the top of a mountain, canoe across a lake, take a heli somewhere epic, and much more to capture their unique and playful love. I care deeply about all my couples and value getting to know you and your story before there's ever a camera in my hand!
My mission is to bring out the gold in people. I do this by creating a safe and welcoming place for my couples to be themselves and feel connected to each other. I give constant support to my couples and guide them in creating a fun, stress-free wedding day experience. Your wedding should be unique to your story and celebrated with those closest to you (whether that be just your fiancé, your immediate family, or a few close friends).
I am a certified "Leave No Trace Aware Photographer" and care deeply about keeping the earth beautiful and clean. A strong part of why I own my own business is so that I can give back to those who don't have as much, 10% of all my bookings are donated to missionaries and organizations working together to end poverty (such as YWAM, or Food for the Hungry).

I am the face behind the camera. The one capturing the intimate connection between the goofballs who love adventure, aka the couple who wants to make out on top of a mountain! I am based in Western Canada, living in Calgary and shooting all over the rocky mountains. I LOVE traveling and am always ready to pack my bags and hop on a plane for you!
My heart is full when I’m serving others + spreading the love that Jesus gives. I love to connect with my creator in His creation. I think this is why I am so drawn to adventure in the outdoors! I feel my Heavenly Father surrounding me in the mountains, the ocean, and under the stars more than anywhere else. I can't help but stand in awe of Him as I soak in every inch of the beauty He has created.
