📸 How Much Does a Wedding Photographer Cost in Toronto?

Planning a wedding comes with a hundred tiny decisions—and one of the biggest ones is choosing the right photographer to capture it all. In a city like Toronto, where the wedding scene is vibrant and diverse, the cost of wedding photography can vary quite a bit. At Nordello, we’re all about transparency, so here’s a breakdown of what you can expect—and why investing in a dedicated wedding photographer is worth every

💍 What’s the Average Cost of a Wedding Photographer in Toronto?

At Nordello, our wedding photography packages typically range from $1,500 to $3,000 for one photographer. The price depends on several key factors:

Number of coverage hours

Total number of edited photos

Add-ons like engagement shoots, photobooks, or drone footage

Need two photographers to cover both sides of the day? That usually ranges from $3,500 to $4,000, giving you broader coverage, especially during fast-paced moments like the ceremony and reception.

💑 Bundle and Save with an Engagement Shoot

Here’s a tip: booking your engagement shoot with the same photographer who will capture your wedding can actually save you money. At Nordello, we offer bundle packages that include both sessions at a discounted rate. Not only is this more budget-friendly, but it also helps you and your photographer build rapport before the big day.

🛑 Why You Shouldn’t Hire Just Any Photographer

It might be tempting to ask your cousin who takes nice nature photos to shoot your wedding. But wedding photography is a whole different beast.

Unlike studio or landscape photography, weddings are fast-paced, unpredictable, and often low-lit. A seasoned wedding photographer knows how to adapt on the fly, anticipate special moments, and shoot in all lighting conditions—from golden hour to candle-lit receptions.

🎥 Gear Matters—And Wedding Photographers Bring the Best

One of the most overlooked—but vital—differences is gear. Most professional wedding photographers, including those at Nordello, use high-end cameras equipped with dual memory card slots. This means every photo is backed up in real-time.

Why is this crucial? Because technology can fail. A single-card camera (common among beginner or hobbyist photographers) puts all your wedding memories at risk of corruption or loss. Our dual-slot setup ensures redundancy and peace of mind.

🌆 We Know Toronto’s Best Wedding Venues Like the Back of Our Lens

With years of experience photographing weddings across the GTA, we’ve shot in nearly every major venue in Toronto—from Casa Loma to The Doctor’s House to intimate garden weddings in High Park. We understand how lighting changes by the minute, how to make crowded rooms feel intimate, and how to find the perfect angles no matter the setting.

This kind of familiarity can’t be learned overnight—it comes from experience.

🎬 Photography + Videography = A Seamless Dream Team

Many wedding photographers (including us at Nordello) offer in-house videography services as well. There’s a huge benefit to hiring both from the same team:

Cost savings: Bundle pricing is often more affordable than hiring separate companies.

Seamless communication: A unified team works in sync, avoiding awkward positioning and miscommunication.

Shared vision: We know how to coordinate shots that look cohesive across photo and video.
