When choosing your Wedding Photographer you're trusting them with one of life's most important memories.


Please ask the following important questions before you decide

Is my photographer experienced?

Your Wedding is a major investment of time, effort and money.  

We are full-time professional Wedding photographers who have demonstrated the ability to capture your moments of a lifetime every time.

My name's Cal Colborne and along with my daughter Jenn and our associate photographers Karen and Eve we've photographed over 1600 Weddings.  We are Ontario's most experienced Wedding photography team.

Does my photographer work with an assistant?

Because one photographer can't be everywhere at the same time I always prefer to work with a skilled assistant.

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 cover every moment of your special day.


What style does my photographer shoot?

I'm first and foremost a storyteller.  My background in photojournalism and fashion blends both to create a collection of images that will make you smile, laugh, and treasure every moment of your day.

My goal is to enhance your enjoyment of the day while creating a collection of images that tells your Wedding story moment by moment.

I want your images to be a treasured memory for your life together and for future generations.

What are the time limits on my coverage?

None.  I don't place any fixed time limits on your coverage.  


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?

I like to start your coverage with the Bride's final preparations, usually about 2 hours or so before the ceremony (my assistant can do the same thing at the same time with the groom if they're not too far away) and continue through the first dances at the reception, without fixed time limits.

And if you can do your garter and bouquet toss within an hour or so of the first dances we'll stay and cover those too.

I'm quite flexible, if you have a special request just let me know.

Are there travel or mileage charges?

Working from Muskoka enables me to provide Wedding Photography in
Gravenhurst, Bracebridge, Huntsville, Bala, Port Carling, Barrie, Orilla, Parry Sound, Minden, Haliburton, Peterborough, Bancroft and more without mileage or travel charges.

If you're more than about 200 km from Bracebridge please check with me anyways.  I like to travel and my travel surcharges are very reasonable.



How many images will I receive?

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.

Does my photographer have back up equipment?

Unlike many (very brave) photographers who work alone with just a single camera we have at least five professional grade cameras ready to go at all times.
 

This ensures instantly available back up during every moment of your Wedding Day.
 

With 2 photographers and multiple cameras available at all times, we've got your day covered!



Do you shoot black and white or special effects
?

Digital photography permits any image to be black & white, sepia, soft focus or any special effect
without affecting the original image.
 

I include a number of selected digitally enhanced images with every Wedding.

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 a week after that.

You get your photos in weeks, not months.

Does my photographer hold my negatives hostage?

Not here! Your High Resolution digital negatives are yours to keep on DVD.

Your digital negatives are fully enhanced, unmarked and ready to print wherever you like.


Important Note:

Many photographers provide only low quality digital negatives that may not be suitable for printing at all sizes.

I provide your digital negatives sized to permit printing wherever you like at any size up to 11x14 inches.


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.

Never.  I provide an Internet Wedding Gallery and Slideshow for every wedding so you and your guests can view or order your photos from anywhere in the world, at any time of day or night.

This is particularly convenient for guests from outside the area. or who were not able to attend.

How to Book Your Date

EMail me at  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 me by phone at 1-888-875-0583 (toll free).  Since I am travelling or working almost constantly EMail is preferred or please allow up to 24 hours to return telephone messages.

To help me give you the speediest response please let me know 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 heard from me within 24 hours
please check your spam box or give me a call.
_____


Another Note:


During winter months I travel a lot for destination Weddings so I may not able to meet with you during this period.

If we're not able to meet, or you're from outside the area, 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.



Terms


A retainer of $750 for the All Inclusive Digital package or $1000 for Wedding Packages 1 or 2 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 4 weeks before your Wedding.  

I then courier your photos directly to you as soon as they're ready
(about 21 days 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 full coverage Weddings.  I don't offer short term service by the hour.
  • Since we will be working and available from the time we arrive to the time we leave we ask that a meal be provided when reception coverage is selected.

If you're having an island or water access Wedding, I can provide my own boat at no extra charge
so there's no need to ferry the photographers and gear.

Please call or email to discuss your plans.

Short Notice Weddings

While cancellations are rare, about 5-10% of Weddings need to have the date changed.  This results in several dates coming available on short notice every year.  If you need a Wedding Photographer for your short notice Wedding, please give me a call or EMail.  I just might be able to help!



Having a Winter Wedding?

Like most Canadians, I really enjoy summer, however, I provide Wedding Photography services year round.  

When weather requires that we work indoors I bring portable studio equipment, including portable lighting, backdrops and props to enhance your indoor Wedding photos.  


Or if you're really brave, like Christiane and Mike or Tanya and Brian, we can still work outdoors :)
