Event photography & videography that match the calibre of your organization

The cost of event photography in Vancouver can vary depending on several factors, such as the type of event, the length of the event, the experience of the photographer, and the deliverables included in the package.

In general, event photography in Vancouver can cost anywhere from $150 to $400 per hour, with most photographers charging around $200-$300 per hour. Some photographers may also offer package deals that include a set number of hours of coverage and specific deliverables, such as a certain number of edited photos or prints.

It’s important to keep in mind that while price is a factor, it’s not the only consideration when choosing an event photographer in Vancouver. You should also consider their experience, style, and portfolio to ensure that they are the right fit for your event.

For instance, our team has shot events in almost all of the well-known event venues in Metro Vancouver. So, if you choose to work with our photography and videography studio, you can be confident in your choice as we are well aware of the requirements and challenges of each venue. Who you hire matters.

Selecting the right visual partner is a critical decision for your event’s legacy. Beyond the baseline requirements of checking availability and pricing, smart organizers evaluate potential partners based on three crucial pillars:

1. Relevant Corporate Experience: A stunning wedding portfolio does not necessarily translate to success in a dimly lit convention hall or a high-pressure C-suite boardroom. Review their portfolio specifically for events similar in scale and tone to yours. Do they understand corporate dynamics? Do past client reviews explicitly mention their professionalism and ability to blend into a business environment?

2. Operational Competence & Communication: The quality of the photos matters little if the vendor adds stress to your planning process. Evaluate their communication style from the first inquiry. Are they responsive, organized, and proactive? You need a reliable operational partner who understands logistics, not just an artist with a camera.

3. Aesthetic Alignment: Finally, ensure their visual style matches your brand’s vision. “Event photography” is broad. Not all photos are created equally. Do you need candid, documentary-style energy that captures the atmosphere, or highly polished, formal imagery? Make sure the work in their portfolio already speaks the visual language your stakeholders expect to see.

Flawless execution on event day is built during the pre-production phase. We don’t just show up with cameras; we partner with you in advance to ensure our strategy matches your vision.

A professional pre-event briefing should cover three critical areas:

1. Strategic Run-of-Show & Protocols: We need to align on the detailed event schedule, mission-critical shots that cannot be missed, and any site-specific restrictions or guidelines for media personnel.

2. VIP Identification (Before, Not During): It is crucial that key stakeholders—C-suite executives, major donors, guest speakers—are identified before the event begins. We recommend providing a list (and ideally photos) during the briefing phase. This allows our team to proactively recognize and prioritize these individuals in the crowd without needing you to step away from hosting duties to point them out on the day.

3. Delivery Expectations: Finally, we define plain-language expectations for asset delivery. To ensure everyone is on the same page, we establish clear timelines. While our standard agreement guarantees delivery of fully edited galleries within two weeks, we pride ourselves on efficiency and frequently deliver well ahead of that deadline.

The number of photos you receive will depend on various factors such as length, type, and location. In general, you can expect 40 images per hour of coverage.

The timeline for receiving your photos depends on your event type and editing requirements. For business or corporate events, you can expect delivery within 3 to 7 business days depending on the length of the event. If you need a selection of edited photos during the event or the following day, we can absolutely accommodate that. Just let us know in advance so we can plan accordingly.

Yes! If you choose to hire us as your event photographer, you automatically get the printing rights to your images at no additional cost. This means that you can get your photos printed wherever you like, but please do let us know if you need some suggestions as to where to find a professional print shop.

For smaller events, a maximum of 50 people, booking one event photographer should suffice for most events. But for larger events, especially if you’re booking an event videographer as well, we recommend having multiple shooters at your event to ensure optimum coverage.

That said, we’ve shot events where the client had budget for just one crew member. If that’s what you’re looking for, just reach out to us and we’ll make it happen .

Yes, we have liability coverage up to $1,000,000.

Look for a videographer with experience in event videography, a portfolio that demonstrates their skills, and positive reviews from previous clients. Also, review the type of songs that they choose for their event videos. Do you like their taste in music selection? If not, then that definitely needs to be brought up in your initial discussions.

The cost of event videography in Vancouver can vary depending on several factors, such as the type of event, the length of the event, the experience of the videographer, and the deliverables included in the package.

In general, you can expect to pay anywhere from $1,000 to $2,500 per day of coverage for event videography in Metro Vancouver.

Just like when hiring an event photographer, when looking at different options in Vancouver for an event videographer, you should discuss the event schedule, any specific shots you want, and any restrictions or guidelines for videography at your location.

You should also discuss the delivery method for the video and the timeline for receiving it. If you require raw footage or a social media teaser, this is a good time to bring that up too.

For most events, we usually deliver one highlight or sizzle reel. This event highlight video is normally 60 to 120 seconds long depending on many factors such as event type, location, and length.

If you require a longer video, say 4 to 5 minutes long, you should definitely mention that to your event videographer because the way we shoot would be totally different.

Event videos usually take two to three weeks to be edited so you should expect to receive the first edit within that time frame unless stated otherwise at the time of booking. Each event video project comes with one free round of revision so that we can ensure that the final deliverable is fully edited to your liking.

The short answer is yes, but it is not something that we recommend for a couple of reasons.

Firstly, because we use cinema cameras, most people wouldn’t be able to edit the raw footage on their own unless they have an in-house editor. Secondly, if you are looking to get the raw footage to reduce the total project cost, this probably wouldn’t work to your benefit as we charge extra to deliver unedited footage.
