Finding the Perfect Photographer is SOOO important!


Working with your "dream" photographer is one of the most important decisions you will make while planning your upcoming wedding. It only benefits you two as a couple that the photographer you choose to photograph your wedding day is someone who will not only capture the day but also make it the best day ever. You need someone to be there to capture all your best moments as they unfold in the most genuine and authentic way. Choosing Durand Studios ensures that you’ve chosen a pair of photographers who have their entire heart and soul poured in to their work to make your memories last a lifetime. It's more than just capturing your special day for us - we aim and seek to build the most trusting and genuine relationships with each of our clients and hope that out of each experience we walk away with at the minimum a new pair of friends! We also know that picking the right photographer is just as important as keeping within your budget. To answer the question we most often get, our average couple spends a minimum of $5,500 + HST on our standard wedding packages.

"Jessica and Tim are the absolute best! Jessica recently shot my proposal photos/video and I was so impressed. From sharing my location so they knew exactly when we'd be there, to helping set up the rose pedals. Not only do they take excellent photos & videos, they also work with you to make sure that everything goes according to plan! We have received so many compliments on how amazing the photos look, I recommend Durand Studios to everyone looking for wedding and lifestyle photography!"

"Don’t even think twice, hire them! They were absolutely wonderful for our engagement and wedding. Our photos are absolutely beautiful - they went above and beyond for us on both days to ensure we got the photos we wanted! It felt like we had a friend with us taking our photos. We have been in awe of the beauty they are able to portray in their photography.  Jess was a wonderful support. When we had our first look I balled and my makeup ran everywhere. She ran to her car and grabbed her own makeup bag to help me fix it. They aren’t kidding when they say you need to get along with your photographer and honestly we are so glad we had them shoot our big day. We know a huge part of us being on time and able to get such wonderful photos is because of Jess! Cannot thank you enough Durand Studios!!

"Durand studios completely exceeded our expectations on our wedding day, and all the days leading up! Jess is so accommodating and amazing to work with. She makes you feel so comfortable during photos which is one less thing to stress about on your big day. Our engagement photos were an absolute dream come true, and our sneaks from our wedding are even better! We cannot wait to showcase them around our house. We had Tim at our engagement session and holy smokes, what a duo these two are! I also did a boudoir session with Jess to gift to my husband on our wedding day. Not only was the session super fun, the photos turned out incredible. He (and I) loved the album. We will absolutely booK Durand Studios for any other photography we need! 10/10 recommend. Thanks for being an outstanding and talented photographer… turned into really good friend. We love you!"

FAQ

How do you photograph weddings?

At Durand Studios we shoot all of our weddings as a team. We love being a husband and wife duo and being able to use our experience as a bride and groom to help our couples have the best day possible for their own weddings!

We will work side by side with you leading up to your wedding day to help guide you to create the best timeline possible for your special day! Ask us anything you want - we'll give you any and all the wedding advice throughout your time with us!

When will we get our photos?

For single sessions, you will receive an online gallery link with all your photos within 2 to 4 weeks [ 5-8 weeks during peak season] .

Wedding galleries will be delivered within 8-20 weeks of your date. Preview Galleries from wedding days are sent within 7 days and contain a minimum of 50 images.

How long have you been a photography duo?

We began shooting in the fall of 2018 after our own wedding and countless sessions in-front of the camera ourselves! We turned all that "posing" knowledge into a real life business and never turned back! By the end of 2024 we'll have shot over 150 weddings together. We sure as heck love what we do and consider ourselves so lucky to work with so many incredible couples.

Where are you based and do you travel?

We are based in Burlington Ontario and will travel within 60 minutes of our home with no travel fees for weddings & 30 minutes for lifestyle sessions. Distances further than 30 / 60 minutes from Burlington require a travel fee of $0.50 / KM + accommodations if applicable.

Some couples have made the decision to get married in another province / country and this is super cool too! For destination weddings travel + accommodation would be required with approval of both the client and Durand Studios.

How many pictures will we receive?

For a single session, we can guarantee anywhere from 100-200 photos.

Wedding days we can guarantee a minimum of 75 photos per hour. The more decor provided / time you leave for your portraits will factor into how many photos will be delivered in your final gallery.

Why are engagement sessions included?

We believe engagement sessions are crucial in the wedding planning process and help to capture the best photos on your wedding day! Instead of asking couples to pay extra for an engagement session or choosing to opt-out, we've built them right into our packages (saving you $600 + HST) because they have a tremendous impact on the quality of your final wedding photos.

An engagement session allows the two of you to reconnect without distractions - but it also helps you get comfortable in front of the camera. Plus it gives us a chance to meet you and get to know you better! On the wedding day you’ll feel safe, comfortable, and ready to have fun with us, which makes your wedding photos that much better. We recommend scheduling a session for 8-12 months before the wedding and making a date night out of it!
