Pricing & Booking

Blank

In order to confirm a booking, we require a signed photography agreement along with a 50% non-refundable retainer in order to guarantee our services for your event date & times. Once both items have been received, your booking is 100% confirmed and all other inquires for that date/time are turned away. For that reason, the 50% retainer is considered non-refundable should your event be cancelled or the date/times changed.

How far in advance should we book you?

For peak seasons (spring and fall), booking 4–8 weeks in advance is recommended. Short-notice bookings may be available depending on my schedule. All bookings require a 50% retainer to confirm and reserve the date.

Do you offer special rates for registered non-profit organizations?

Yes — I offer special rates for registered non-profit organizations. CASA Mental Health, The Royal Alexandra Hospital Foundation, and other non-profit organizations in Edmonton have trusted Moments in Digital to photograph their annual galas and fundraising events. Please mention your non-profit status when reaching out.

How much does an event photographer in Edmonton cost?

Pricing depends on event duration, coverage needs, and delivery timelines. Most corporate event photography bookings range based on hourly or half-day coverage. Contact me for a customized quote tailored to your event.

What's included in your event photography packages?

All packages include pre-event planning, on-site photography coverage, professional editing and colour correction, and delivery via an online download gallery. Corporate packages can also include same-day or rush delivery options, branded gallery presentation, and on-site executive headshots. Contact me to discuss your specific needs.

Image Delivery & Timelines

How long does it take to receive our photographs?

Something we take great pride in is our delivery times. We know that you’re excited to see your photographs and we’re just as excited to share them with you. The exact timing will depend on the length of your event and the time of year your event is taking place. Standard processing is 2-4 weeks from the event date. Rush processing is available for an additional charge.

How do we receive our images?

Once the editing process has been completed, you will receive an email containing a personalized link to your online gallery. This gallery will be active for 30-days from the date it's sent to you. If digital products are included with your services, you will be able to view and download the digital files from the online gallery. Otherwise, you'll be able to purchase prints and digital files through the gallery using a credit card. Printed products typically take between 2-3 weeks for processing and delivery depending on the time of year and subject to processing times determined by our vendors.

Do you offer same or next-day photo delivery?

Yes. Select highlight images can be delivered the same day for social media and marketing purposes for an additional charge. Subject to availability and event timing.

How many images should we expect to receive from our event?

The number of images we deliver will vary depending upon a number of factors including the amount of time spent travelling, timelines, the time between events, etc. On average, most of our clients should expect to receive between 40-50 images per hour of coverage. On a 8 hour event for example, there is typically about 6-7 hours of photography after you take out time for travel, meals, setup, etc. That would result in approximately 300-400 fully-edited images. Sometimes the amount is higher, sometimes it is lower but our goal is to deliver quality over quantity without sacrificing any important moments of the day. We carefully select and edit only the best photographs from your session.

Do we own the copyright to the photos we receive?

All photos come with standard license for marketing, PR and social media usage.

Licensing is not to be confused with copyright. According to the Canadian copyright act, as the image creators, we retain the copyright to all of the photographs that we create. This means that we retain the rights to use the images for any purpose and you would require our permission before the photos are altered, sold, published, entered into any contests or used for commercial purposes such as advertising or e-commerce. These types of uses would require a different type of license and would follow a different pricing structure.

Digital files include a standard license which provides you with the right to print & share the photos as much as you’d like for your own personal use. If you have any questions though, just ask!

Why hire a professional photographer in Edmonton?

Event photography is more than simply showing up with a camera. Lighting conditions in venues can be unpredictable. Timelines shift. Important moments happen quickly. A professional event photographer understands:

  • How to work discreetly
  • How to adapt to low light
  • How to capture authentic expressions
  • How to represent your brand visually
  • How to deliver consistently sharp, usable images

Hiring a professional ensures you have marketing-ready photographs that reflect the professionalism of your organization.

Do you offer headshot photography and event photography at the same time?

Yes, this is a very popular add-on for conferences and corporate events. I can set up a dedicated headshot station during a registration period, lunch break, or networking session, so your attendees walk away with both event coverage and professional headshots in a single booking.

Are you available to photograph events outside of Edmonton?

Yes. I serve surrounding areas including Sherwood Park, St. Albert, Leduc, and greater Alberta upon request. Travel fees apply for events taking place 50km or more from the greater Edmonton region.

What sets Moments in Digital apart from other photographers?

When hiring an event photographer in Edmonton, professionalism, consistency, and communication matter just as much as creativity.What you receive:

  • Clear communication before and after your event

  • Reliable arrival and organized workflow

  • Professional equipment and backup systems

  • Clean, colour-accurate editing

  • Marketing-ready images

Your event deserves photography that reflects its importance.

Why should we hire someone local?

In addition to supporting a local small business owner, working regularly as an event photographer in Edmonton provides a distinct advantage. Familiarity with local venues, lighting conditions, and event logistics allows for faster setup and better results.

Popular event locations often include:

  • Downtown Edmonton venues including the Edmonton Convention Centre, City Hall, Art Gallery of Alberta, Winspear Centre, Fairmont Hotel Macdonald, The Westin Hotel

  • Corporate offices and conference centres

  • Hotels and banquet halls

  • Rogers Place & The ICE District including the JW Marriott Hotel

  • University and institutional facilities

Understanding these spaces helps ensure efficient coverage and optimal image quality.

What happens if the weather impacts my event?

If you're planning an outdoor event, all the planning in the world won’t help you if Mother Nature decides to deliver some nasty weather and you don’t have a backup plan.

Make sure you have a backup plan that includes booking an indoor location for your photos and/or event. If you’re planning an outdoor event, speak to the venue coordinator to see what they suggest as a backup location.

In terms of other indoor locations for formal photographs, we’re happy to recommend some great locations and of course we arrive with professional lighting, but ultimately it is your responsibility to secure an indoor location ahead of time. Many of the best indoor locations require you to pay a fee and they often book up pretty far in advance so make sure you secure your backup location as early as possible.

If you’re working with an event planner, they can also suggest some venues for you as well. If the weather isn’t too bad, our gear can stand up to the cold and a bit of moisture provided you’re up for it.

What happens if my event runs long?

Events run long — it's just reality. I'll always check in with you before the contracted end time to see if additional coverage is needed. Overtime is billed at an hourly rate and will always be communicated and agreed upon before I extend my time.

Are you insured?

Yes. Liability insurance is available for venues requiring proof of coverage.
