What can you expect when you hire us?
We’re quirky, love to laugh, and love to be together.
More than anything else we just want you to be comfortable during your session so you can enjoy yourself. Being photographed is supposed to be fun, so we work hard to make sure it is!
We will give you a ton of direction and ask you to do all kinds of fun things during your session. A few random things we may ask you to do are:
- hold on to eachother and bump hips like you’ve had one too many drinks at the pub
- whisper something strange into your partners ear when no else is listening
- Lay down and cuddle while we photograph you with our drone
- Take turns giving piggy-back rides
- Run in slow-motion like you’re on the set of baywatch (that’s only for you 80’s babies 😉 )
Our photography isn’t about us, it’s about you. Your legacy, your emotion, your story. It’s about passing on a legacy of your most important moments to the people you’re closest with. When you see your pictures they should take you back to those moments and remind you how you felt in the moment.
Frequently Asked Questions
STILL HAVE QUESTIONS?
Contact Us: hello@crownphotography.ca
Do you travel for weddings?
Yes!
We frequently travel across western Canada to photograph and film wedding days, and we'd be more than happy to travel to your wedding location too! When you inquire, we will include a quote for a travel fee for your wedding, which varies depending on how far we need to travel and how long we'll need to be away. The travel fee covers the cost of our fuel and accommodations for the trip and is simply included in your contract and final invoice.
What happens if it rains on my wedding day?
We have umbrellas!
Seriously, we have like 25 of them sitting in the back of our car at all times, just in case this happens.
Some of our favourite wedding photographs have been taken in the rain! It adds so much visual interest and the cloudy skies are so moody and romantic.
While we realize that rain is usually not anyones first choice for their wedding day, we can still make amazing photographs together!
I'm having an outdoor ceremony. Do you have any tips or recommendations about how to set it up for the best lighting?
Yes we do!
For outdoor ceremonies, we always recommend that you try to setup in such a way that the sun will be directly behind the altar. This will ensure that you have the most flattering and even lighting in all of your portraits!
I think I'd like to hire you for both photography and video, how does that work?
This is a great question! We actually have an entire FAQ page in our pricing guide that outlines what's included in a photography and film collection and we'd love to send it to you! Just inquire with your wedding date and we can send it your way.
On days where we capture both photography and video, Tracey will photograph and film the girls getting ready while Mark does the same with the boys. Then, once everyone gets back together for the remainder of the day, Tracey will be the primary photographer while Mark will focus primarily on video and on capturing audio of the important events such as ceremony vows and speeches.
