Common questions

Everything couples ask, answered.

Pricing, booking, coverage, timelines, venues and travel — the honest version, no fine print.

Pricing

How much does a wedding photographer cost in Toronto?

In Toronto, full-day wedding photography generally runs $4,000 to $8,000. Doriel Studio's collections start at $6,600 for photography (the Essentials collection), with the most-booked Signature photo-and-film collection at $13,800. Every collection includes the full edited gallery in high resolution with personal print rights.

How much does wedding photography and videography cost together?

Booking photo and film together costs less than hiring two separate studios. Doriel Studio's combined collections are $13,800 (Signature) and $15,650 (Heirloom), covering a full day, a cinematic feature film, a 90-second highlight, and the complete edited photo gallery — one team, one consistent look.

Why book photo and video with the same studio?

One team means a single, consistent look across your photos and film, no two vendors competing at the altar, and no clashing edits. You coordinate one timeline and one contract, and the stills and film are graded to feel like the same day.

Booking & timeline

How far in advance should I book a Toronto wedding photographer?

Most Toronto couples book 10 to 14 months ahead, and peak Saturdays in spring and fall fill first. Doriel Studio takes a limited number of weddings each year to protect quality, so popular 2026 and 2027 dates go early — check your date as soon as you can.

How do we book, and what deposit do you need?

Check your date, choose a collection, and sign the agreement. A 30% retainer secures the date and the balance is due before the wedding. No date is held until the contract and retainer are in — dates are booked first-come, first-served.

Coverage & delivery

How many wedding photos do we get, and when?

You'll get ten edited sneak-peek images by the Monday after your wedding, the full gallery within six weeks, and your film within ten weeks. Galleries arrive as high-resolution downloads with full personal print rights — every image is yours to keep.

What's included in a wedding film?

Every film collection includes a cinematic feature film telling the full story of the day, plus a 90-second highlight — the one you'll actually send to everyone. Both are delivered in 4K, filmed documentary-style, quietly cut and scored: cinematic, never staged.

How many hours of wedding-day coverage are included?

Collections include eight to twelve hours of continuous coverage, with extra hours at $600 each if you need them. A typical full day, from getting ready through the reception, fits comfortably in about ten hours, and we help you build a timeline so nothing feels rushed.

Style, venues & travel

What is your wedding photography and film style?

Editorial and documentary with a golden-hour warmth — we capture the day as it actually happens instead of staging Pinterest poses. Clean, modern, a touch of film grain; close enough to catch the real moments and quiet enough that you forget the camera is there.

Which Toronto venues do you photograph at?

Doriel Studio has photographed weddings across the GTA, including Casa Loma, Hart House, Graydon Hall Manor, the Royal Conservatory, Evergreen Brick Works, Berkeley Church, Eglinton Grand and Steam Whistle — 36 area venues and counting, plus churches, backyards and City Hall elopements.

Do you travel for destination weddings?

Yes. We're based in Toronto but always ready to travel — past and upcoming weddings include Banff, Tulum, Lake Como and Tuscany. Travel beyond the GTA is quoted per trip and added to your collection. If your day is somewhere beautiful, we'll be there.

Do you offer engagement sessions?

Yes. An engagement session is a relaxed way to get comfortable on camera before the wedding, and it gives you images for save-the-dates and your website. Add it to any collection or book it on its own.

Do we own the rights to our wedding photos?

Yes. You receive high-resolution downloads with full personal print rights, so you can print, share and keep your images however you like, for good. The studio retains copyright and the right to feature select images as portfolio work.
