Event Photography & Videography FAQ
What is included in event photography?
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

What's the typical turnaround time for event media delivery in Vancouver?
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.
How many photos should you expect to receive after an event?
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
How long is a typical event highlight video?
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.
How much does it cost to film an event?
Event videography in Vancouver typically starts at $200-400 per hour. Full-day packages often range from $1,500-2,500, depending on:
- Duration of coverage
- Number of videographers
- Equipment requirements
- Editing complexity
- Additional equipment requirements
Do Vancouver event photographers and videographers work as a team, or should I hire them separately?
At Threshold Studios we offer both services in-house, which can provide several advantages:
- Seamless coordination
- Consistent style

- Better team communication
- Simplified booking process
We often tell our clients that you already have a lot on your plate, so by choosing to work with our team, you can rest assured that your event media needs will be taken care of in the best possible way. This allows you to focus your time and energy on other aspects of creating a successful event, knowing that the memories and moments will be captured professionally.
My event is indoors in a room with no windows. Is it going to be too dark?
It’s a good sign that you’re thinking about such details. We already like you. You’d be happy to know that our team comes fully prepared for any lighting situation! We bring professional-grade lighting equipment specifically designed for challenging indoor environments, including:
- Off-camera flashes
- Continuous lighting panels
- Light modifiers and diffusers
- Portable studio lights
Even in windowless rooms, we can create beautiful, well-lit photos and videos while maintaining the natural ambiance of your event. We’ll arrive early to set up and test our lighting equipment, ensuring we capture every moment with clarity and professional quality. Our experience shooting in Vancouver’s diverse venues, from dark banquet halls to dimly lit conference rooms, means we know exactly how to handle any lighting challenge that comes our way.
Pro tip: Let us know about your venue in advance so we can plan the optimal lighting setup for your specific space!
How long should I hire an event photographer or videographer for a corporate event?
Coverage duration depends on your event schedule and desired content. For corporate events and conferences, consider:
- Full-day coverage (8-12 hours) for comprehensive documentation
- Half-day coverage (3-5 hours) for key presentations
- Multiple videographers for concurrent sessions
- Additional time for interviews or B-roll footage
We have done events as short as 2 hours or as long as 3 days. So regardless of the length of your event, we’re by your side to make sure you receive high quality event media that inspires, informs and converts!
