FAQ

How long have you been shooting? Professionally since 2004, 500+ weddings and tens of thousands of photoshoots!

What is your style? A mix of creative portraiture and documentary photography. I am constantly looking for a unique perspective, interesting angles and different backgrounds so that all of your photos are fantastic! My style is modern, yet inviting. I don't use trendy filters or actions since I believe you should have crisp, timeless images that won't look dated in a few years, but still feel fresh no matter what time frame you look at them. It's important to me to capture your personalities and interaction as a couple and the moments that unfold on your day in the most creative way possible.

What equipment do you use? Canon professional gear with lots of external lights and lots of backups. 

How many images do you take in a day? Around 400-1200 fabulous images, depending on hours of coverage in your package.

When are the pictures done? The edited images are completed 12 to 18 weeks after your wedding. For portraits, the images are ready in 3 to 6 weeks after your session.

But we never look good in pictures! Believe me, I have heard this same story from every couple. You are not the only Chandlers in this world! All the people on my website are normal everyday people, it's my job to make you guys look good, feel relaxed and be comfortable. You'll warm up to me and my camera in 5 minutes, and have lots of fun! The single piece of best advice I can give to you after a lifetime of shooting is to relax and enjoy your day. Remember to smile, and know that you look great!

How much photographic time do you need during my wedding formals? I like to have 3 hours: 30 mins for your family photos, 45 mins for your bridal party, 75 mins for the two of you, and 30 mins for travel time.

What if it rains? I like rain, makes for some great shots! We will shoot both outdoors and indoors if you are comfortable with that.

What's the process from start to finish? Use the contact form to ask about pricing, products and availability. We can either set up a Zoom or in-person meeting or you can give me a call. After we have talked about your wedding, you can pay the 50% retainer and I'll send you a contract online. After that, I'm booked for your day :) The final balance is due one month before your wedding and two weeks before your date we will go over your itinerary. Then I photograph your wedding, and after 12 to 18 weeks, your images are ready for you! If you have an album in your package, I will design your layout and when you have given me your final ok, the album is sent to print and once it arrives back, you can pick it up.

What form of payment do you take? Electronic money transfer is preferred payable to my email address or phone number. Cash or certified cheque are also accepted.

Testimonials

We spent a lot of time researching and interviewing different photographers, and we could not have asked for a better photographer to share our special moments. Elaine was a consummate professional - always on time, responsive with emails, easy to work with - and she was warm and enthusiastic during the photo shoots. She has a great eye and chose locations that suited our personalities. The quality of her photos far exceeded our expectations, I wholeheartedly recommend her to capture your day. - Krishna + Amit

Truly a great experience for us, she captured all the right moments. It was a brutally hot and busy day for us, but she kept our spirits up and made the photos very enjoyable. I really valued not having to worry about the quality and the direction for our wedding photography. what i loved most, was she understood our personalities and took pictures that was a value to us (funny offside moments, group moments, etc) i would strongly recommend Elaine to everyone! - Kevin + Irene

ELAINE THESE ARE AMAZING PICTURES!! Our families are loving all the pictures too!  Thank you thank you thank you!! You are so amazing to work with and so professional and fun! We can't thank you enough for being there for our wedding and making us feel comfortable, and also stress free, knowing that we have the best photographer in the city taking our wedding pictures. I've looked through the pictures so many times already! - Iram + Rizwan

Elaine is well worth the investment. The quality of Elaine's work is excellent, every picture is framing quality. We received many, many high quality images with artistic characteristics. I loved her abilities to capture colours, scenery, and special moments. I wanted a very tight schedule so that my photography hours were allocated for specific times each of my wedding event days. She ensures beforehand, who is responsible for adding photography hours and who she should report to with any issues. I highly recommend Elaine who can ensure that you have a stress-free fun time being photographed during your wedding! - Jade + Ricky

Elaine was amazing to work with! She communicated very promptly, was always on time, and was professional in her services. The photos she took of our wedding were amazing! She captured all the important moments in a beautiful and artistic fashion and chose great locations for formals. She made us feel at ease while taking photos and provided all the cuing to create amazing shots. She was also flexible and willing to stay longer at our reception to capture a few more memories. Thank you Elaine! - Jody + Andrew

We couldn't have made a better decision in choosing our wedding photographer; we had understandably high expectations after looking at the online portfolio. Though I have to say, Elaine more then exceeded anything that we might have imagined. My husband and I especially loved that we did an engagement shoot, which was something we hadn't previously planned on. It made us feel a lot more comfortable on our wedding day and we actually ended up loving the engagement photos so much that we chose to purchase them as well. We can't thank you enough Elaine! - Brittany + Paul

Elaine is AMAZING! She is very professional and talented and was a lot fun to work with! She's also very friendly and immediately puts you at ease and calms your nerves during your crazy hectic day. She even brought me food as I was switching between gowns hug Elaine and didn't have time to stomach anything! She has a keen eye that captured all of our wedding details including the details I forgot to tell her about or didn't notice myself. She never misses the perfect moment, the smiles, the laughter, the exchange of looks...the things you missed because you were crazy busy with something else at that moment. But I'm very grateful to Elaine who has turned all those beautiful moments I missed into a wonderful memory that I can cherish and look back on. I couldn't be happier with our choice! Thanks Elaine! - Megan + Corey

Thank you Elaine! It was so exciting to go through the picture sand re-live the moments. The pictures turned out SOO great!! You are such an amazing artist and we are so thankful you were able to come down and shoot our photos for our CRAZy wedding day :) We loved having there and are so appreciative of your patience, awesome work and great times! Again, thank you for everything!!!! - Hoa + Linh

You are so talented and these photos are so wonderful! Thank you so much for all these amazing great shots! Again we are just thrilled with your work. You are truly an artist. We are so enjoying looking through all the photos. See you soon Elaine and again thank you for making our wedding memories so special. - Michelle + Derek

We FINALLY sat down to look at the photos together and there are so many that are truly AMAZING! Just super incredible - we are so happy!!!! You put so much care into each image. The portraits you captured of all our guests at the reception are beautiful, and we love love LOVE the photos of everyone dancing!!! In any photo where we manage to look good, you have set it up so it turns out amazing - and that's really the best that a photographer can be!!! Thanks - you are wonderful! YAY - Gina + Jason

Elaine photographed our engagement photos this May and we are blown away by them! They turned out amazing and we keep having people ask us who took our photos. Elaine was creative beyond what I thought imaginable. She also ensured we felt comfortable and was very sweet, patient, and encouraging. She never made us feel nervous - and the pictures show exactly that! She has far exceeded our expectations for an engagement shoot. She also listened to what we wanted in terms of turn around time and maintained that in her service. Thank you again Elaine and we will cherish these photos for a long time! - Yashna + Rajiv

We are extremely happy with the service Elaine provided! We love the images she captured! We had an engagement session prior to the wedding and it was a great opportunity to get comfortable with Elaine's approach which was very relaxed and natural. She was very flexible and was agreeable to working 16 hours to capture our day from getting ready in the morning to the bouquet/garter toss at the end of the night. We are still in the process of finalizing our wedding album but she was quick to design a beautiful layout that included all the important moments of our day. She was very professional and prompt with text messages and email responses. - Cindy + Vic

Absolutely amazing! Spent as much time as we needed to get all the pictures we requested and more. Very kind and enjoyable to work with. Pictures to die for! Would highly recommend to anyone for any event!!! - Nicole + Charlie

Great to work with and scouted out locations to meet our photography "wants". Provided us with a list of second photographers that we were able to choose from and meet and discuss our vision with. Gave us our photos in a timely manner in multiple formats for both printing and Web use. Great creativity, enthusiastic, and wonderful to work with. - Kelsey + Justin

Elaine is simply amazing! She did our Maternity photo shoot for our family. Elaine's work is as beautiful as her personality & we were very lucky to have her capture our cherished moments of being pregnant with our son. The photos were breathtaking to say the least & the entire experience was so much fun. Elaine made us feel at ease the entire time. She has a gentle nature, but our photos were gorgeous & the rest of our family loved them! I am thankful that Elaine made time to capture those moments we will cherish forever. Every photo taken was beautiful. When we got our photos back we couldn't pick a favourite, they were all equally beautiful! - Kristy + Neil

WOW!! I LOVE THEM!!!!! IM SO HAPPY!!!!!! :') Thank you so much Elaine! You're definitely one of the best ones out there!! Chris and I made the right decision :) - Kat + Chris

Elaine was very professional and pleasant to work with. She is quite creative! I would recommend Elaine to anyone requiring pictures of any sort. She was quite accommodating when we required her to stay a few more hours after our reception. - Vijanti + Vageeshan
