Is my photographer experienced?  A special moment is there for an instant, then gone forever.  Your Wedding deserves an experienced full-time professional photographer who has demonstrated the ability to capture your moments of a lifetime quickly and creatively every time.   I'm Cal Colborne, along with my daughter Jenn and our associate photographers Karen and Eve, Weddings are our only business.   With over 2000 Weddings we are Ontario's most experienced Wedding Photography team.	Meghan & Matt - Bracebridge
Nancy & Adam - RMS Segwun	Does my photographer work with an assistant? Because one photographer can't be everywhere at the same time I always work with a skilled second photographer. My assistants don't carry my bags, they're accomplished Wedding Photographers in their own right. While I focus on the bride and groom, my assistant captures the candid reactions and special moments with friends and family. With 2 experienced photographers available at all times we capture every moment of your day.
What style of photography do you shoot?  I like to capture your day moment by moment with a unique mix of natural style, romantic moments and a lot of fun.   While I'm doing that I also keep my artistic photographer's eye open for those moments and settings that will make the special images that you'll treasure forever.   My assistant and I use at least 4 time-synchronized cameras to tell your Wedding Story as it happens, capturing an unlimited number of images as your day unfolds.	Jen and Jason Paterson-Kaye Lodge, Bracebridge
Chantal & Geoff - Sundridge	What are the time limits on my coverage? I don't believe in fixed time limits.   By devoting the day to your Wedding, I can give you my full attention and easily accommodate changes or delays to your schedule without extra charges.
What Wedding Day coverage is included? Your Wedding Story deserves to be told from start to finish. I like to cover every Wedding from the Bride's final preparations, generally 2 hours or so before the ceremony, until the first dances at the reception.   If your bouquet and garter toss are within the next hour, I'll stay and capture those too! A wedding is also a great opportunity for photos with people you don't see regularly.  My assistant will be glad to capture professional quality portraits of family and friends at the reception, at no extra charge. If you have a special request I'm very flexible, so tell me what you'd like.	Melissa & Mark - Windermere House
Laura and Walter - Ottawa	Are there travel or mileage charges? There are no travel charges to Gravenhurst, Bracebridge, Huntsville, Bala, Port Carling, Barrie, Orilla, Parry Sound, Minden, Haliburton, Peterborough, Bancroft, Barry's Bay and more. If you're more than about 200 km from Bracebridge please check with me anyways.  I've photographed Weddings across Ontario and my travel surcharges are very reasonable.
How many images will I receive? A lot!  Most Weddings are 600-800 finished images but large Weddings can be a LOT more.  We take as many as it takes to cover your day completely. There is simply no limit on the number of photos and there are no extra charges for special requests.	Christine and Carlos - Burleigh Falls
Keely & Peter - Crane Lake Resort	Does my photographer have back up equipment? While some very brave photographers work with a single camera we have at least six professional grade cameras available at all times. This ensures instantly available back up during every moment of your Wedding Day.   With 2 photographers and multiple cameras, we've got your day covered!
If I book you, who'll actually photograph my Wedding? Unlike some photographers who book multiple Weddings and then hire other people to do them, I personally shoot every Wedding that I book. If I'm already booked for your date, my daughter Jenn is an accomplished Wedding Photographer in her own right and will be glad to photograph your day. Check the link at the bottom to meet our team!	Shaina and Patrick - Dyer Memorial, Huntsville
Do you shoot black and white or special effects?     Jennifer and Frank Pow Wow Point Lodge, Huntsville Digital photography permits any image to be black & white, sepia, soft focus or any special effect without affecting the original image.   I include selected special effects images with every Wedding and you're welcome to send me your special requests after you've seen your pictures online so I can include them on your DVD.
How long does it take to see my pictures? Your online album will be available in about 3 weeks. Your DVDs will be ready about 3 weeks after that. You get your photos in weeks, not months.	Xina and Dylan - Windermere
Carlye and Mike - The Regatta, Gravenhurst (photo by Karen)	Does my photographer hold my negatives hostage? Not here! Your fully enhanced, unmarked, full resolution digital negatives are yours to keep on DVD. You're welcome to design your own album and make your own prints, or if you wish, we can do it for you.
Do you offer books or albums? I offer a full line of books, albums and packages.  Please check the special offers further down this page. If you have a special request I deal with every major album supplier and will work with you to create any custom album, coffee table book or package that you can dream or desire.	Michelle and Andrew - Parry Sound
Brad and Moira - Christie's Mill, Port Severn	Do you provide an online album? Every Wedding includes an Internet Wedding Gallery and Slideshow. You and your guests can view your Wedding or order photos from anywhere in the world, at any time of day or night.

Prices I believe prices should be straightforward with no high pressure upselling or hidden charges so everything you need to know is here.

How to Book Your Date EMail  calcolborne@gmail.com or call to see if your date is available and discuss your plans.  I check email several times daily or you can reach ume by phone at 1-888-875-0583 (toll free).  Since I'm travelling or working almost constantly EMail is preferred or please allow up to 24 hours to return telephone messages. To help give you the speediest response please include the date and location of your Wedding in your first message. Important Note: Many corporate settings, and HotMail, have spam filters set to an extremely high level. If you've emailed from work or HotMail and haven't had a reply within 24 hours please check your spam box. _____ Terms A retainer of $750 for The All Digital Package or $1000 for either book and print package will lock in your Wedding Photography at the current price no matter how far off your date may be.   The balance plus applicable taxes is is due 30 days before your Wedding.   I then courier your photos directly to you as soon as they're ready (about 3 weeks after your Wedding) no matter where your new home is located.   You don't have to endure a high pressure sales meeting to get your photos and there are no delays arranging extra appointments to see your pictures. A few conditions apply.  Here they are - Retainer is non-refundable, however, should you need to reschedule I'll give full credit for another available date.  I leave a few dates open for just this purpose, however, please plan carefully. Since I only photograph one Wedding per day, I only accept Wedding coverage as detailed above.  I don't offer short term service by the hour. Since we'll be working and available from the time we arrive to the time we leave, when reception coverage is included we ask that a meal be provided. If you're from outside the area or we're not able to meet, please contact me by email for details on booking your wedding electronically.  I'll be happy to meet with you at any future date that our schedules will permit.

If you're having an island or water access Wedding, I have my own boats so there's no need to ferry the photographers and gear. Please let me know your plans.

Having a Winter Wedding?

Due to the challenge of travelling through airport security with 100 pounds of photo gear
I'm no longer accepting destination Weddings.

If you're getting married in the special beauty of a Canadian winter I'll be here for you.

Tanya and Brian ( -30 deg! )	When weather requires that we work indoors we bring portable studio equipment, including lighting, backdrops and props to enhance your indoor Wedding photos.   But if you're really brave, like Christiane and Mike, Jenn and Martyn or Tanya and Brian, we can still work outdoors.   Winter photos can be exceptional!
