Everything You Need to Know About Event Photography & Videography in Vancouver

Standard event photography packages usually include:

• Professional photography coverage
• Basic photo editing and color correction
• Removing distracting objects where applicable/possible
• Online gallery for easy sharing and downloading
• High-resolution digital files
• Usage rights for personal or commercial use
• Consultation before the event
• Lighting equipment to shoot in low-light situations

We deliver your complete gallery typically within 7 business days. Rush delivery is also available for an additional fee. Please discuss delivery expectations before booking to ensure they align with your needs. We can even deliver the same day, but we just need to know before hand so that our photo editor can prioritize your project.

For a typical hour of event coverage, you can expect approximately 30-50 professionally edited photos. This number can vary based on:

• Type of event
• Number of guests
• Amount of activity
• Specific shot list requirements

We strive to deliver a highly engaging event highlight video for all of our projects. The length of this video can vary depending on where it will be mainly used. For instance, if your main target audience is on Instagram or TikTok, we recommend a 45-60 second video. For some events, you can even get away with a 15 to 30 second version.

But if your main goal is to use the video on YouTube you have more leeway. We have delivered 3 minute videos while still keeping the highlight video as engaging as possible through the use of post production techniques that are available to us.
