Ottawa Wedding Photography Prices.

 

Comparing photography portfolios in Ottawa is tough enough, but when you add pricing to the mix on a purchase that you are not familiar with, the task becomes even more difficult. Here are a couple of thoughts from having survived and thrived for over 35 years in the business.
All photographers base their price on the time spent shooting and editing no matter how you slice it. The more talented and organized a photographer, the less post production and the lower the fee. Simply put, an experienced pro is actually less expensive than a newbie and will provide a better product per dollar.
Comparing portfolios online is tricky, since, frankly even a newbie can come up with a couple of dozen shots and load them on a FB page. The test of a real pro is whether they can nail that coming down the aisle shot, pick up on the style of the wedding and capture that creative angle every time.
The end price is but one part of the negotiation with a photographer. Delivery times, service, style and dependability all play a part.
Oddly enough, when comparing prices, we think the first thing you should do is look at referrals and then see how that photographer can come up with a package that fits your budget. A talented photographer at your wedding for 6 hours is a better investment than a part timer at your wedding for 12hours….
Enjoy your search…and feel free to ask away. We have fulltime staff ready to answer your questions on the phone or online.

Ottawa Photographer Paul Couvrette Photographs US Ambassador Heyman.

ottawa-ambassador-portraits-01ottawa-ambassador-portraits-02

We photographed US Ambassador Bruce Heyman in our Centretown studio for Ottawa Life Magazine. I wanted the shot to feature both flags and was happy to see that the depth of field notion worked out nicely. While I was at it…I took a few minutes to do a shot of just the Ambassador with his own flag. I remember remarking that the US flag was really such a stunning graphic…and it is. To date, I have photographed every US Ambassador to Canada for the last 20 years…

Ottawa Winter Wedding Photography at Brookstreet

https://www.facebook.com/OttawaPhotographerCouvrette?pnref=lhc

Here is a small selection from a chilly day a few weeks ago…

Thanks to a brave couple and a fun wedding party for working with us on this shoot. Minus 30 still doesn`t beat our record of minus 52, but it still makes me shiver to think about that last shot and a brave bride. I may get feeling back in my fingers by June…lol

Ottawa Military Portrait Photography

ottawa-portrait-photography-01ottawa-portrait-photography-02

We tend to photograph a lot of military people. Given our location in downtown Ottawa, I guess that is no surprise.
My family have been involved with the military since 1655 when we came to Canada as part of the first Regiment from France and ending with my Dad landing on D-Day. It`s always a joy to chat with people serving our country in war and in peace.

Diane White /Ottawa PR Portrait

These are from a recent shoot with Internationally famous musician Diane White. She came in for a couple of new website shots and we just started to improv with some notions as drop ins for such things as her contact page and movie credits page. Images are what makes the web go round and what gets people to buy what you are selling…
