Why? After the night is over the flowers only last for a few more days, the cake is all gone, and your dress is forgotten in the back of your closet. Your wedding gallery is a forever kind of thing. You can remember the way you looked at each other when no one else was looking. You can remember the vows you promised to one another by seeing the way you teared up during the ceremony. At the end of the day, all we have are our memories – photos keep them in-focus.
My business and I are an open book. This means my full pricing is visible for my standard wedding packages. Of course, I do have some add-ons and the ability to customize packages for destination weddings or weekend affairs.
CANMORE
FERNIE
BANFF
Remember when I said I was a woman of two worlds (urban dweller and mountain seeker)? Well, I meant it. Though I am based in Calgary, I want to meet you in the mountains near and far. I do not charge travel fees if your wedding venue or elopement is in Banff, Canmore or Fernie.
“We sat down and looked at our photos last night and omg Vic, speechless. We are so happy with the photos, honestly you captured our wedding day so perfectly and you got every aspect of it. We love the detail shots, and the forest portraits are seriously what all my dreams are made of. We are so thankful that we choose you for the photography at our wedding, you were absolutely perfect and you’re so talented!”
Before we get into it, know that all my wedding packages include a complimentary engagement session. As connection and trust are two more of my values, an opportunity to work together prior to your wedding allows us to build both. When I show up on your wedding day, my goal is that you completely trust me to bring your creative vision to life.
If your wedding day is short and sweet, this package is for you. We will work together to be intentional about the time so I can prioritize the moments that are most meaningful to you.
This package is typically suitable to capture the main events of the wedding, which is why it is called the essential. From the tail end of the getting ready to the first songs on the dance floor, this package will allow for time to cover those big moments.
This is my most popular package because it allows for full-day coverage without compromises. Allow your day to unfold without a pressured schedule and I will be there to document every moment from start to finish. Your wedding day is a once-in a lifetime event so let’s make it worth it!
I will plan your adventure and worry about permitting and licenses. As elopements allows couples to wed their way, coverage varies from 2 hours to multi-day (bring me on your backcountry adventures). Elopements do not have a strict number of people in my book, however, to get married in places like Banff National Park, there is a maximum of 20 people allowed!
Branding photos are a great way to showcase the faces behind your business! I love getting creative with branding photos to bring the vibe of your brand to life. In today’s visual world, having professional photos of your products and team is vital. You will get location/studio recommendations, outfit assistance, an online gallery and commercial printing rights.
Lifestyle photos include engagement, couples, maternity, newborn and family sessions. You will get location recommendations, outfit assistance, an online gallery, printing rights and precious memories.
YES, I do! Because I love the mountains and the city, I do not charge travel fees for weddings in Banff, Canmore and Fernie. For weddings across Canada and internationally, travel fees will be charged at cost. Don’t worry I will work to make it economical and work out the details of booking myself.
I don’t guarantee a particular number of photos solely because every wedding and couple is different. There is no maximum to the number of photos I will deliver – if there is a valuable memory captured, you will receive it! On average I deliver 100 photos per hour spent shooting.
You will receive your photos through an online image gallery that is easy to share with family and friends. In my contract, it outlines that full galleries are sent between 8-12 weeks; however, I am always working to deliver them sooner. I like to be transparent with expectations, especially because I am very detailed in my edits and do not have a maximum number of photos I deliver. Every wedding will get sneak peek photos within 1 week.
To lock in your wedding date in my calendar, I require a 30% non-refundable deposit. The remainder of your invoice is to be paid within 30 days of your wedding date. If you would like a custom payment plan leading up to your final payment deadline, I am more than happy to accommodate! I take payment via credit card or e-transfer.
Unfortunately, no. This is a take it or leave it offer that is really designed to show you how I work and for me to see your relationship in person. Having an opportunity to work together prior to your wedding date allows for our connection to grow and an opportunity for you to build trust in my work, two of my several core business values.
My rule of thumb is this: if it can go away in a week, I will edit it out (acne, scraps, bruises). I work to remove unnecessary distractions in photos, and I am very detailed, which is why my galleries sometimes take a little bit longer to edit. I will say, my focus is on the couple getting married and their close circle for these detailed edits. I cannot ‘make you beautiful’ when I am taking your photo because I truly believe you already are. Everyone has beauty to show to the world, I am there to capture it!
I love to travel internationally and across this beautiful country I call home. Though I have been to several places, there is still so much to explore! Let’s do it together
