Rob and I had never in our lives had professional photographs taken. To say we were uncomfortable in front of a camera was an understatement; yet within minutes Shirleen and Troy made us feel so comfortable and confident. Their direction, enthusiasm, encouragement, and dedication, made the experience so enjoyable. There is nothing they won't do for the perfect shot! Shirleen challenged her fear of seaweed and got waste deep while Troy climbed cliffs for the perfect angle! They challenged security guards for the most unique shots in rare locations, they bartered with management at a million dollar hotel for the chance to, not only provide extravagant photos for the hotel to use, but to also showcase us in the most extravagant of locations. The time they put into each day spent with us far exceeded our expectations! They were so generous with their time. To say you get your money's worth is an understatement - it's actually a deal! Their passion for the art they create is evident from start to finish and is contagious! We loved every minute of our time spent with Shirleen and Troy! They aren't just our photographers they have become our friends. We genuinely missed them hours after our final shoot was done. Above and beyond any part of this experience, my favourite was having the pleasure of being in the company of a couple who demonstrates what marriage is all about. Kindness, encouragement, love, laughter, support, and passion. As a wedding shoot this made the experience so much more meaningful and romantic! They are such a team and a joy to observe and be in the company of. Within minutes of meeting them their love for each other, and the art that they create together, was evident. It was an honour to work with them both! Our guests absolutely fell in love with this duo as well - not just the impressive photos that they create but also just the warmth that they bring. They were genuinely family at our wedding! read more

How do you possibly describe the nicest people? I will do my best. We had Shirleen and Troy do our wedding photos in Canmore Alberta. We met them the day before the wedding just to meet them and talk about what we would like and all that good stuff. They were honestly the nicest people my husband and I have ever met. They were incredibly accommodating and easy going about everything. As long as we were happy they were happy. Shirleen joined myself and brides maids to get hair and make up done, she captured some great moments between us and was just great. Then came with us to the hotel to get ready and then off to the church. Troy joined my husband while he got ready, and my husband was very happy to have him there. During the ceremony they caught every precious moment! I didn't see or hear them throughout the whole thing! After the ceremony they took us around canmore for photos. Oh my goodness, they are the most beautiful photos I have ever seen (biased yes but they are beautiful!) My husband and I are a little awkward when we pose but they posed us perfectly and you would never know how awkward we actually are! Our wedding was July 9th, the next day Shirleen posted a sneak peak of a couple photos and they made me so excited to see the rest. Aug 1 we received a beautiful video and our photos. The turn around on that many photos was insanely fast! Shirleen and Troy made us a video of the day that included snippets of video and pictures from the day. I cannot possibly describe how much this video means to me. It is so perfect and wonderful, I just have no other words to properly tell you what that video means to Mike and I. If you are looking for a photographer in Canmore. I highly HIGHLY recommend Burnett Photography. Shirleen and Troy, thank you for making our day so special, and capturing all the right moments and making all the photos perfect. You two will have a special place in out hearts forever. read more

I cannot say enough great things about Burnett Photography. Shirleen and Troy were the absolute best. We live in Florida and planned our small, intimate (only 8 guests) wedding at Lake Moraine in Alberta remotely via the internet and I feel so blessed to have found Burnett Photography's website. I browsed through all her photos and read a bunch of her blog posts. I loved her photography, how she captured special moments during an event and noticed that she really emphasized the importance of lighting. We connected nearly immediately via email, and had great discussions back and forth. She offered so much thought and personal insight right off the bat. Once we had a 30 minute phone call together, I knew they would be the right fit! In addition to her skills as a talented photographer, Shirleen really put me at ease and we had such a natural rapport. Once we booked our date, Shirleen continued to be a huge help and sounding board as I worked to plan these details from so far away. She connected me with a few hair & make-up artists and they turned out to be excellent too! The day of the wedding, Shirleen & Troy were a true dream to work with. They made the experience both fun and relaxing (important because my hubby normally squirms when he gets his photo taken!) for us and captured some truly dramatic images that we will cherish forever. We booked 6 hours with them, and are so glad we did. Not only do we have fantastic memories of our time in the Banff area, but now we have amazing photos to share with our families and friends who could'nt join us in Canada for our big day. Thank you Shirleen & Troy! read more

My husband and I eloped to Lake Louise for our dreamy intimate wedding. I wanted such a special moment captured since friends and family wouldn't be joining.. and of course to be able to see those memories always. Having never been to the area I searched for photographers online. I stumbled on Burnett Photography and knew Shirleen was what we wanted in a photographer from the get go. Her photos were stunning, but it went even further than that. Shirleen was SO accommodating and such a joy right from the beginning; we emailed and Skyped several times leading up to our big day to work out the details. When the big day finally came and we met Shirleen and Troy in person, I knew we had picked the right people. They are so passionate about their photos and have so much fun taking their pictures. They put us right at ease and we had a blast the entire time. We still talk about how much fun the whole session was. And of course and most importantly, we have stunning, breathtaking, beautiful pictures to show off to friends and family and to enjoy forever. Most of my comments from people who see our pictures are "is this even real?" and "these look like they came straight out of a magazine!" I highly, highly recommend Shirleen to anyone looking to get pictures done in the Banff area. read more

What a great services from Burnett Photography. We were really having fun doing the photoshoot with them. They are really friendly, kind and helpful during the session. My fiancé, friends and family really loved the pictures. The pictures were beautiful and very well done with editing the photos. They are really helpful during the photoshoot and before the photoshoot. You will get some advice to do some poses, so you really get the right pose and posture. Shirleen is very responsive with the email to do the communication, also I can reach them through their phone number. They are really impressed me with all the pictures and I think they meet my expectations. Overall, it was worth it to get a photoshoot with Burnett Photography. I would recommend them if you would like to have a wedding photography, proposals, and other events. Lastly, they really taking care of us during the photoshoot in the winter, they keep us warm and help us a lot throughout the whole process of my proposals. Absolutely worth it and recommended! read more

My husband and I got married in Canmore in July and we couldn't have chosen more perfect photographers for the occasion! Shirleen and her husband Troy were such a great team and captured so many amazing moments! During our reception we had a rehearsed first dance which we were extremely nervous about. I was shocked and excited to see in our photos that they captured a beautiful picture at the end of us dipping....shocked because we actually didn't really pause at all for the camera! Shirleen and Troy made us feel so relaxed throughout our day; anyone can tell that they absolutely love what they do. After receiving our photos, Shirleen kept in touch with us to ensure that we were happy with them. She even re-edited a few of them so that I could get them developed properly to the right sizing. We would recommend Burnett photography 100%, and will definitely use them again in the future. You will not be disappointed! read more

Shirleen and Troy are friendly, down-to-earth, and caring professionals. They flew to Cayo Santa Maria, Cuba, to shoot our destination wedding; we couldn't be happier with our choice. After meeting with many photographers, it was their professionalism coupled with their warm personalities that immediately sold us. We didn't have to worry about posing or getting creative shots or anything at all! We had so much fun with them! We knew that they are amazing at what they do and we fully trusted them. Our images are absolutely gorgeous. They are unique, fun and sexy all at once. We love the story that they created of our wedding day, providing many photos every step of the way. Our family and friends absolutely loved Shirleen and Troy. We are fortunate to say that we consider them friends. Our wedding experience would not have been complete or as perfect without them! I highly recommend Burnett Photography! read more

Shirleen Burnett's photography captured our family's essence in Banff with an artistic flair that truly sets her work apart. Her photos, with their high dynamic range printed on metallic paper, are absolutely stunning and pop with vibrancy. Beyond her exceptional photography, Shirleen went above and beyond by assisting us with skiing outfits, introducing us to her lovely dogs and children, and making us feel like part of the Banff community. We left not just with incredible photos, but with a new friend in Banff. Shirleen's work is impactful, her hospitality unmatched. Highly recommend for unforgettable memories. read more

Shirleen and Troy were amazing! I had them capture my Banff proposal and we couldn't be more pleased with the photos and the service. They were very accommodating when a work conflict required rescheduling the whole event less than a week in advance. Shirleen handled the scheduling and logistics for the helicopter and set up a private picnic for us to enjoy during one of the shoots. Shirleen and Troy were professional and made the entire process very enjoyable. If you are looking for outstanding photos and an amazing experience, look no further. These guys rock! read more

My husband and I went to Banff to get some wedding shots, Shirleen and Troy made the experience both comfortable and fun. We loved every single second spent with them. Both would go above and beyond to get the most beautiful shots. We didn't have to worry about posing and standing awkwardly, they took photos in our most natural and comfortable states, and they photos turned out to be much more then what we expected and could not thank them enough. We most definitely plan on going back for more photos in the near future read more

Shirleen and Troy were our wedding photographers. What a remarkable experience! The team is very professional, supportive and was with us every step. I am not easy with a camera. I always look uncomfortable and awkward in pictures. Shirleen made me feel at ease, gave me clear instructions and made me feel beautiful on my special day. Our photo album looks absolutely stunning: very professional, highest Vouge-like quality. I highly recommend Burnett Photography. read more

Amazing, creative, professional photos with great lighting and gorgeous texture.Very quick delivery of the final product - 24 hours after the event, in an easily accessible manner and ready to use (and there were a couple of hundreds of pics). Shirleen and her team are friendly, doing their job smoothly and non obtrusively. She's always smiling so people feel comfortable in front of her camera. Excellent experience ! read more

We had so much fun working with Shirleen and Troy. They really inspired some amazing shots, and it was fun enjoying 2 whole days together.
