Vancouver Wedding Photographer Guide

Vancouver Wedding Photographer Prices

Vancouver Wedding photography prices can be all over the map, from a GWC (Guy/Girl With Camera) starting out on their first ever wedding shoot to a seasoned professional with a staff. While you may be on a tight wedding budget and usually the wedding photography is almost an afterthought in the budget process, just remember that this is your wedding day and the photographer is going to be making special memories that the photos will provide for years to come.

What you can expect to pay depends on the number of hours the wedding photographer will be working, the number of assistants and assistant photographers he/she has, the number of photos you will receive, the number of locations where you will be, if the photographer brings any creative props, if there will be a test shoot, an engagement shoot, and/or a bride and groom shoot in advance. One of the essential parts of wedding photography is to capture at least two sides of the story - the bride and  the groom, thus having several people working on your wedding photos is only natural!

A brief breakdown of approximate costs:
Vancouver wedding photographer for 6 hours starts at $1500
Assistant Wedding photographer $500 to $1500 per Photographer
Multi-location $500 per additional location

Aside from the two main components of the bride & the groom getting ready and the ceremony itself, additional time can be spent on photos around the city. There are no limits when it comes to wedding day photo session and it could involve different props and multiple locations.
