Customer Reviews

Here are some reviews from their clients:

“Honestly, Todd’s work speaks for itself. His photos and those from his associates are amazing and working with them was a blast. But if you need some more words to convince you – keep reading. Todd was the first thing I booked after we got our venue and he was a dream to work with. He took our engagement photos which got us comfortable with being photographed. A huge bonus if you have never been professionally shot before. We went all out with photos, we didn’t want to miss a thing and I wanted to be able to look back on the day in 50 years and not forget anything. We got the 2 photographers and added on the full video package. We also added in the photo booth; which our family and friends are still talking about how amazing that was. Todd and his associates are so easy to work with. On what is already a very stressful day I didn’t have to even think about the 4 people following us around and making sure they caught everything. Todd ensures that you have a list of family shots that you want and they will run through everything to ensure they have the PERFECT shot. From the photos I have received (din’t worry, he isn’t late or anything) he has captured the day and the emotions PERFECTLY! I will patiently wait for the photos and video and I cannot wait to relive this day over and over again. Thank you Todd and your associates for making this day one that we will never forget and for capturing our love story!”

“I was truly overwhelmed by the positive experience Todd and Sophia provided us with on our wedding day, and of course the incredible photos that resulted! We will be treasuring them for many years to come. They really helped us to organize our day, and communicated with us beforehand to make sure we had an incredible day and got all the memories we wanted captured. Thanks so much!!”

Customer Reviews

We had Film & Forest photograph our Rocky Mountain wedding a few weeks ago and they helped create a truly memorable experience for us. Working with Liam & Afton was so relaxing and easy, as they are both genuine and friendly people. With every wedding there is craziness, but the times my wife and I were doing couples portraits with them felt so professional yet relaxed. They gave the day a much needed breather, and helped us remember why we were there. They were one of the best parts to our day, so we couldn’t recommend them enough if you are searching for a company to photograph your wedding.

“Afton and Liam were absolutely amazing to work with from start to finish! They are both so friendly and easy to talk to. They were always prompt in answering our questions and gave us a ton of ideas and suggestions when we asked for them when planning our elopement. They stayed in touch frequently throughout the planning process. Thanks to their guidance, we chose an amazing spot at Lake Minnewanka. They said we would arrive with our guests, walk along the shoreline until we found a quite spot, telling us they had a couple places in mind. My husband and I walked around Lake Minnewanka the day before, thinking this would calm our nerves since we’d never been there, but we really didn’t need to. Afton and Liam knew of a secret little spot, better than we could have hoped for. I was a little anxious about the guests standing throughout the ceremony and how it would look, where the aisle would come from for me to walk down, etc. Afton and Liam placed everyone strategically so I got my aisle AND amazing pictures throughout the ceremony. They knew exactly what I wanted, what would look good, and gave great direction to us and our guests. Taking our family pictures and couples pictures was great with their direction as well. No confusion, everyone was layed back. My mother pointed out how much she loved the look of our family photos – men with their hands in their pockets, ladies with their hands on the bouquet. During our couples photos, they kept us moving and laughing so we could get the good candid pictures without it looking forced. When we got the pictures back we were SO happy, the editing was superb. Nothing is “over edited”, it all looks incredibly natural and bright. They have a real talent for capturing the mountains in pictures. Looking at the pictures now, there is a true flow to them that makes me feel like I am there all over again. Overall, we had an AMAZING experience from start to end. Afton and Liam truely made our wedding day what it was. It wouldn’t have been the same without their guidance, direction and expertise!!”

With 17 years of photography experience under his belt, Gabe McClintock has established a distinct style clients seek him out for.

Rather than the clean, classic photography associated with weddings, Gabe McClintock goes for something more dramatic. Dark, moody, and with lots of light and shadow play—it’s a style that captures romance surprisingly well.

In addition to local weddings in Calgary, Gabe specializes in capturing destination weddings. He primarily functions as a one-man team, but can arrange for an additional photographer for a supplementary cost.

Speaking of costs, Gabe McClintock’s pricing for wedding photography in Calgary starts at $3,400 plus tax. With Gabe’s masterful eye and experience, this falls well within the average pricing range for professional photographers.

In terms of photo count, Gabe promises 30 to 50 photos per hour of your event. This is less than some other photographers offer, so if you put heavy importance on quantity, this is something to keep in mind.

Pros

  • Starting price falls within the industry’s average range
  • Set apart by a distinctive photography style
  • Shoots with minimal equipment under natural lighting conditions

Cons

  • Promises only 30 to 50 photos per hour, less than other photographers
  • One-man team

Customer Reviews

Here’s what Gabe’s previous clients have to say about working with him:

“As a former photographer, I wanted to find someone who could capture our wedding and bring their own unique style to the shots. After spending WEEKS researching the best photographers in North America and narrowing it down to 10, I reached out to Gabe, had an initial call with him, and never looked back. His artistry is apparent, he has an eye for capturing breathtaking photos, is incredibly professional, and like a ninja at the reception! He worked incredibly well with our wedding planner and made the whole experience seamless. I can’t give him enough praise or recognition as the finishing product turned out far beyond our expectations considering it rained heavily on the day of our wedding. Gabe was able to quickly adapt and get some photos that are beyond beautiful. Hire him. Now.” —Connor Beaton

“Gabe offered us a photography experience second to none for both our wedding day as well as our connection session. Gabe was able to take our vision and find the perfect locations to shoot for both days. The direction he provided as well as the attention to detail made the whole experience enjoyable and unforgettable, he even helped me with my tie.” —Kayla & Jeff

Geoff Wilkings is easily one of the frontrunners when it comes to wedding photography in Calgary. He has photographed over 700 events and previous clients who have nothing but good things to say about him—and his work shows exactly why he’s so highly in-demand.

When imagining the quintessential wedding photo, most imagine bright smiles, clear skies and lots of light. That’s exactly what Geoff brings to the table with his clean, classic approach.

For those who might not be familiar with availing of wedding photography services, Geoff outlines the steps on his website. From the first meeting (which can happen remotely or in his office) up until the photos are turned over, Geoff is hands-on throughout the entire process.

It’s important to note that Geoff’s expertise does come with a higher price tag than most. While his package is inclusive of a day of coverage, digital prints and an album, his starting price is $4989.

Further, since one of his deliverables is a cinematic album, it takes Geoff longer to turn over photographs. The first album reveal happens 8 weeks after the wedding, and printing the album takes an extra 4 weeks.

Pros

  • Package includes a cinematic album printed in New Zealand
  • Outlines clear timelines and a step-by-step process online
  • Delivers 50 to 75 photos per hour

Cons

  • Higher price and longer turnaround time for photos
  • Due to high demand, needs to be booked at least 10 to 16 months in advance
  • One-man photography team

“Geoff was a pleasure to work with, Having our wedding in July 2020 there were many changes due to coronavirus, but Geoff was very flexible and understanding, our dream wedding went so smoothly! He captured our day so magically, he is very professional, personable, and has amazing talents. I would honestly say he is more than a photographer, he will help guide you through your day and give you many tips.” —Bindi Rai

“Although I am not nearly as photogenic as my wife, Geoff made me look good! With his high energy and light hearted approach, Geoff made the entire wedding party feel comfortable, and we all had a great time getting our wedding photos taken. In addition, the wedding album Geoff created for us is amazing! I have not seen another that even compares to how good ours looks.” —Richelle & James

“Ahjuna did a great job with an odd schedule for our wedding. He was incredibly professional and easy to work with. We had booked him for a total of 4 hours, but split in two as we had another photographer booked for the ceremony. I am very happy with how his photos turned out! They were moody and beautiful and captured the feel of the day perfectly. Ahjuna also showed up early for the shoots, did an amazing job with a couple of chaotic/busy environments and provided great advice for how to take photos as well as other tips throughout the day.

Not only did he do amazing photos by creating interesting and artistic shots (making us look super good) but he is also the most pleasant and genuine person to work with. He is personable, patient, and easy to talk to. On top of it all we had a blast doing the photos, which is huge considering my husband hates his picture being taken. We highly, highly, recommend this photographer to anyone who is getting married. Thank you Brendan! Our house is now full of your work!!”

How to Select a Wedding Photographer

With so many talented prospects in this list alone, it can be difficult to pin down your photographer of choice. To help you out, consider the following factors as your narrow down your options:

Photography Style

Even though the subjects of their photos are similar, a photographer brings a new perspective through their framing, the coloring, and the exact moment they hit the shutter button.

Start your selection process by figuring out your preferred look and feel. Distinguish whether you prefer something classic, lively and saturated, dreamy and fairy tale-like, or dark and moody—and cut down your choices from there.

Package Inclusions

After considering the artistic aspect of your photos, pay attention to the technicals. When comparing photographers’ rates, don’t just look at the price itself, but the inclusions that are covered by the fee.

For instance, some photographers charge for their hours or labor alone. Meanwhile, other wedding photographers’ packages include a photo album, a digital slideshow or physical prints.

Timelines & Policies

While some photographers turn in photos after a few weeks, some can take months to get back to you after your big day. If you’re specific about timelines—whether it’s a first peek at the photos or the full-blown package of edited photos—make sure you align with your prospects.

Another potential dealbreaker: the photographer’s cancellation policy. With COVID-19 causing cancellations left and right, you’ll want to make sure all the possibilities, from location changes to cancellations, are discussed before you make your choice.
