Wedding Photography in Saint-Jérôme

Ask to see 2-3 full galleries (not just highlights), confirm hours of coverage and edited-image count, ask about backup equipment and a plan if they fall ill, check the delivery timeline, and confirm the deposit, balance and cancellation terms in writing.

No contract, only showing highlight reels rather than full weddings, no backup gear or illness contingency, vague on how many images you'll get, and demanding full payment far in advance. A pro insures their work and has a plan for the day going wrong.

In Saint-Jérôme, shortlist on style from full galleries, meet or video-call to check rapport (you'll spend the whole day with them), confirm coverage, deliverables and contract terms, and book once the date is locked. Rapport and consistency across a full wedding matter more than a stunning single shot.

Packages scale with hours of coverage and experience. A half-day or elopement package is the entry point; a full-day standard package with an online gallery and edited images is the middle; a premium package with two shooters, an album and engagement shoot is the top. Experience level moves the price more than anything else.

In Saint-Jérôme, a full-day standard package sits around the national typical rate, with in-demand and established photographers charging well above it and newer photographers below. Peak-season Saturdays cost more than off-season weekdays.

Full-day packages typically run CAD 2,000-5,000, with newer photographers below and established ones above; second shooters and albums are common add-ons.
