If you’re planning a wedding in Toronto, you’ve probably noticed that photography and videography pricing is all over the place. Some people will tell you two thousand, others say ten, and it’s not always clear what you’re actually getting for that investment. I want to walk you through what’s typical in Toronto right now, so you have a real sense of the numbers and how they might fit into your day.
I split my time between Toronto and British Columbia, and Toronto is definitely one of the more competitive markets in Canada. The couples here tend to value design and storytelling, and that demand is reflected in the cost.
What to Expect in Toronto
Most professional wedding photography in Toronto starts around $3000 and can go up to $8000 or more for a full day, usually eight to ten hours. Videography typically starts closer to $4000 and often ranges up to $8000, depending on the length and style of films you want delivered.
If you’re booking both photo and video together, most couples spend between $6000 and $10,000+, depending on coverage hours, team size, and extras. The advantage here is consistency: one team, one creative vision, one less thing for you to manage.
Where Intimate Weddings Fit
Not everyone needs ten hours of coverage. If you’re planning something smaller, maybe a City Hall ceremony, a brunch reception with 40–60 guests, or a cozy dinner with close family and friends. These kinds of weddings are just as meaningful, but they don’t usually require a full-day package.
That’s why I offer intimate wedding coverage starting under $2000 for photography (up to 4 hours). It’s enough to capture the essentials: your ceremony, portraits, signing, and the key reception highlights, without paying for hours you don’t actually need.
If you’re planning something even shorter, like a quick signing or elopement, I also offer smaller packages for two to three hours of coverage. They’re simple, flexible, and designed for couples who want things to feel personal and effortless without overcomplicating the day.
Many couples also choose to add videography/super 8 film, and that’s where things really come to life. You get editorial photographs you can hold onto forever, paired with a film that lets you relive the laughter, the music, and the energy of the day. Because both come from my team, the whole process stays consistent and seamless. It feels editorial and effortless, which is exactly what I aim for.
Why the Range is So Wide
Pricing depends on what you want documented and how you want it delivered. The biggest factors are:
- Hours of coverage — two hours looks very different from twelve
- Team — one photographer vs. multiple shooters and perspectives
- Editing & delivery — how refined the edit is and how quickly you receive it
- Style & experience — editorial and cinematic storytelling takes more skill and time than basic documentation
- Film & format — Super 8 or 35mm brings a nostalgic, handcrafted element alongside digital
- Additional value — timeline support, disposable cameras for your guests, USB drives, albums, and prints
One thing I want to emphasize: when you book with us, you always know who’s behind the camera. I personally photograph every wedding, and my partner Bradley films every wedding. We don’t outsource to associates. That way you know exactly the eye and style you’re investing in: consistent, intentional, and effortless.
Thinking About Your Budget
Most couples here put 12 to 18 percent of their wedding budget toward photography and videography. It’s one of the bigger line items, but it’s also the one that lasts the longest. After the flowers are gone and the night has ended, your photos and films are what bring you back, your photos and films are what bring you back to your day, to the feeling in the room, and the people you love most gathered together.
To give you a sense of our range:
- Full-day photography → $2800–$5500, depending on coverage
- Photo + video together → from $5600 for six hours
- Intimate coverage → from $850 for smaller celebrations (like City Hall or half-day weddings)
- Average spend → couples typically invest around $5000 on photography packages and $8500 for photo + video for a full day
This is just a glimpse at what’s possible. If you’d like the full breakdown: everything included, all the add-ons, and guidance to help you compare options, inquire here and I’ll send over my full pricing guide within a few hours.
