Frequently Asked Questions
How much does a photographer cost in Canada?▾
Portrait sessions: $200-$500. Corporate headshots: $150-$400 per person. Event photography: $500-$2,000 (4-8 hours). Wedding photography: $2,000-$8,000+ (full day). Real estate: $150-$500 per property. Prices vary by city — Toronto and Vancouver are typically 20-30% higher.
How far in advance should I book a photographer?▾
Weddings: 8-12 months. Corporate events: 4-6 weeks. Portrait sessions: 1-2 weeks. Holiday mini sessions: 2-3 months. Popular photographers book out fast — especially for peak wedding season (May-October). Earlier is always better.
What should I look for in a photographer?▾
Review their portfolio for consistency and style that matches your vision. Check Google reviews. Ask about their experience with your specific type of shoot. Confirm deliverables (number of edited photos, turnaround time, print rights). Get everything in a written contract.
How many photos do I get?▾
Portrait session: 20-50 edited photos. Event (4 hours): 100-300 photos. Full-day wedding: 400-800+ photos. Turnaround is typically 2-4 weeks for events and weddings, 1-2 weeks for portraits. Ask if you get all images or just selects.
Do I own the photos after the shoot?▾
It depends on the contract. Most photographers retain copyright but grant you a personal use license (print, social media, personal projects). Commercial usage rights cost extra. Always clarify usage rights before booking — especially for business headshots and product photography.
