Here's what your investing in.

When researching Ottawa wedding photography prices, many couples quickly realize that photography is one of the most meaningful investments they will make for their wedding day.

Long after the music fades and the flowers are gone, your photographs are what remain—capturing the moments, emotions, and memories you’ll revisit for the rest of your life.

Choosing a wedding photographer isn’t just about hiring someone to take pictures. It’s about trusting someone to document your story with care, creativity, and experience.

Professional wedding photography involves much more than the wedding day itself. Behind the scenes are hours of planning, capturing your celebration, carefully selecting the best images, and editing them to ensure they look timeless and beautiful.

When couples invest in professional photography, they are investing in:

  • Experience and reliability on one of the most important days of their lives
  • Authentic storytelling that captures genuine emotions
  • Extensive knowledge of all lighting situations
  • Professional equipment and backup systems
  • Carefully edited images that will last for generations

When comparing Ottawa wedding photography prices, it’s important to remember that every wedding is unique. Collections are designed to provide flexibility depending on your plans, timeline, and coverage needs.

Wedding photography coverage begins at $3500 for 6hrs of coverage, with options available for different timelines. 

*** Dates for 2026 and 2027 are very limited.

Highly Recommend Joel and Jess!! The day went by so quickly so it was really special for us to be able to relive so many candid moments. We are still in awe of how beautifully they’ve have captured our wedding day. The emotion captured throughout is so raw and the photos tell the story of our day perfectly. We are so grateful that Jess & Joel were available to photograph our day. There’s not one photo that I wish we had. I am completely speechless! Thank you so much for everything – on the day and in production, and for making us feel so comfortable behind a camera (that we didn’t realize was there for most of the time)! We will continue to watch and enjoy our photos for many years to come!

“We are so happy to have chosen Joel and Jess to document our wedding day at Strathmere. They were wonderful from the beginning, both such wonderful people and really professional. After our engagement photo shoot we knew we had made a great choice. As a result, our photos are beautiful and really show true emotions between my husband and I. So many happy moments for us to relive forever.”

J&J quite simply are an incredible team. A loving couple who have a knowing eye for capturing those fleeting memories and moments of the wedding day you wish you could hold on to forever, like your dad wiping away a silent tear, or your best friend throwing her head back in laughter, or that nervous giggle the bride has before walking down the aisle. The pictures from our wedding at Billings Estate Manor truly tell the story of our day

"We are so proud of the work that Joel & Jess did for us for our wedding day. We couldn’t be more thankful for the amazing professionalism as well as the patience and phenomenal eye they have through that lens. Our pictures are absolutely stunning and I couldn’t think of a better photography duo to have spent the day with. Our family and guests still rave about the photos and the special moments they captured. They got photos of everything we wouldn’t think of. Thank you from my wife and I for being a huge part of our big day. We are so happy to call them friends."
