wedding pricing guide
I don’t just show up on your wedding day, do my job, then head home.
You deserve way more than that!
Congrats on your engagement! I’m thrilled you’re here and can’t wait to hear all about what you’re dreaming and planning for your wedding day. You’re likely devoting a ton of time and thought into how the day’s all going to unfold and want a photographer that’s equally invested - diving all in with the same level of love, care, attention, and excitement for you on your wedding day.
Whether you’re planning a big traditional wedding at a popular venue, an intimate gathering with loved ones in your backyard, an adventure in the mountains, or a celebration that’s completely unique and totally you, I’ve got you!
You deserve memories that will outlast trends yet is true to your personalities. A photographer who knows how to draw out those honest heartfelt emotions as much as the spontaneous candid moments no matter the setting. Bright sunny outdoors, dark windowless venues, snowy Alberta, rainy Vancouver, humid Hawaii - I’ve photographed in all and you can trust I can do the same for you!
I can’t wait to celebrate

"Laurie was our wedding photographer last month and if I could do it all over again, I'd still choose her. She is so easy to talk to and she's so good at what she does, and you can tell she's very passionate about photography. My husband and I aren't the best at posing and taking pictures but she somehow made the entire process fun and stress free. She was also quick to send out some previews after the wedding, and I am just so amazed and impressed with her work. I honestly cannot wait to get our wedding photos back and I already know I will be in tears because I'm sure they will be so beautiful and print worthy!
Thank you so much Laurie for being a part of our magical day, we are so happy to have met you and you will always be our favourite photographer that we will continue to use and recommend to our friends and family. Please never stop doing what you're doing!"

things you might like to know
-
Totally! If you have something particular in mind in terms of hours or budget, let’s chat!
-
Absolutely! Travel within Alberta is included with most collections (accommodations may be extra depending on the location).
For everywhere else, please inquire for a personalized quote.
-
Every wedding varies (# of guests, timeline, etc) but you can typically expect about 50-70 images per hour photographed, give or take a few. I don’t benefit from holding back images from you, so you’ll receive all the final edits that are reflective of your wedding day (whether you knew it was happening or not!).
-
Within 10 weeks of your wedding or sooner, depending on my workload at the time! I know that might sound like a long time to wait, but I don’t ever want to rush editing your images because your memories deserve so much more than that. Trust the process and I promise you’ll love the results!
-
For sure! You get full printing rights so feel free to print, frame, love, share, and download your images to your heart’s content!
All I ask is that you please credit me as the photographer when sharing them online and to not sell or give permission to third parties without my written consent (think magazines or companies). A lot of work went into creating your images so I thank you in advance for understanding that!
-
Sorry! Video coverage is only available for clients who are also booking their wedding day photography with us.
-
Most likely my husband, Andrew, as we work many weddings together! In the rare instance he won’t be available, another photographer or videographer with similar experience and gear will join me.
-
Trust me, nothing will keep me away from fulfilling my commitment to you! If something unfortunate or out of my control arises, I (or my grieving family) will make sure to find a replacement photographer for your wedding. We’re connected with lots of amazing photographers so this won’t be a problem!
-
I believe 100% there are no unphotogenic people - just bad photographers, HAHA! With the right direction and encouragement, you’ll find that it’s actually not as intimidating as you may think!
We’ll incorporate a mix of posed portraits and candids to give you the best of both worlds and make sure you look and feel your best throughout our entire time together!
-
Of course! During our phone chat, we’ll talk about which parts of the day you’d like photographed and what you envision for your wedding day and draft up a timeline based on this.
Whether you’re wanting full day coverage or just a few hours, you’re definitely in the right place! I’d be happy to help you create the perfect timeline to make sure all of your important moments and extra in-betweens are covered!
-
YAY, thank you! To officially reserve me for your wedding day, you’ll need two things: 50% of the photography fee and a signed contract (all done online). If 50% is too much for you upfront, a smaller retainer may be possible depending on your desired date and collection. The remainder is due 30 days before your wedding.
Once those two steps are done, you’ll be officially booked in my calendar and no one else gets your date! I’m all yours for questions, planning, and anything else wedding related you might like to chat about!
Please note all rates shown above are subject to gst and locked in at booking or otherwise may change without notice.
