How much do you charge?

Packages start at $2100 for a 6-hour day and go up to $4700. You can find more info on the Pricing page.

I work with several talented videographers and am happy to recommend one. There’s also the option of hybrid video coverage if you want some video but don’t want to hire a separate videographer.

Do you do destination weddings? How much would it cost?

I can travel anywhere in Canada. Pricing varies by location. I don’t shoot international weddings because you need a work visa for another country. For international weddings, it’s best to hire a local photographer.

What style best describes how you shoot?

My style is documentary/candid/photojournalist. I document the event as it unfolds. For portraits, I make sure friends and relatives are where they need to be, but I aim to stay unobtrusive. Check my work to see if my style fits your vision.

Will you be the photographer at our wedding, or will it be one of your associates?

I’m always the main photographer at the wedding. Associates may fill in if I’m unavailable at the last minute, but that’s rare.

When can I get my pictures?

A web gallery is usually ready a few days after the wedding. If there’s no proof album, the photos can be in your hands within 2–3 weeks.

Montreal and Ottawa Wedding Photographers Since 2005

You want photos that feel real — not posed. I help couples who feel awkward on camera look and feel natural, relaxed, and confident in their wedding photos

If you’re looking for a wedding photographer in Montreal or Ottawa, you’ve come to the right place!

A bride whose wedding I shot a few years ago summed it up best when we first met. After looking at my portfolio, she said, "I felt happy looking at these photos, and I don't even know those people!" That's the simple yet powerful goal I have: I want you to look at your wedding photos and feel happy.

Take a brief tour inside my mind to find out what I'm all about.

Hello there. My name’s Corey Narsted and I know you. You’re the kind of person who doesn’t like being in photos because you always feel uncomfortable and you think you look awkward in the shots. You’re the kind of person who always says, “I’m not photogenic.”

Here’s the thing about that: it's not that you aren't photogenic, you just don't look photogenic in photos. It’s not your fault. It was the photographer. Being photogenic isn’t about looking good, it’s about knowing how to look good. That’s not a physical-appearance thing, it’s a confidence thing.

That’s where I come in. Posing is at least as much about your attitude and state of mind as it is about your physical appearance, possibly more. Confidence matters. I specialize in helping you build up that confidence by guiding you through the process of being on-camera. It’s that confidence that will help you look and feel natural in the photos we’ll take on your wedding day. You want photos that feel natural — not stiff or awkward — and someone who makes the whole experience easy and enjoyable. That’s what you’ll get here.

What’s in it for you

I want you to enjoy the photographic process and have wedding photos that truly reflect the essence of your day. Think of me as a combination wedding photographer/unlicensed psychologist/stand-up comic. I’ve had many couples tell me not just how much they enjoyed the photos themselves, but the whole experience of creating the photos.

The added benefit: you’ll enjoy the whole wedding day more because you won’t be worrying about the photos.

To see how this feels, take a look around my website for samples of my photo work and video work!

We all love Grandma. Shouldn’t she be able to relax and enjoy your wedding instead of working it?

So why would I need to hire a professional wedding photographer to shoot my wedding? My cousin has a camera…

Why hiring a professional matters

It Is very important to make the right choice when choosing a professional wedding photographer to document your wedding. A good wedding photographer is like any other artist: each one is unique in style and approach. Really, when you hire a wedding photographer you’re commissioning an artist. This is why it’s important to choose the right one. If you don’t like the photographer’s way of working, then it doesn’t matter what the price is. If you aren’t happy, the money was not well-spent.

Some people try to save a little money by hiring an amateur wedding photographer or getting a friend or family member to do the photography. Most of the time, this doesn’t work out in the couple’s favour. Weddings are stressful events, as any couple can attest. But the stress isn’t limited to the bride and groom. Their parents are just as stressed, and the wedding party feels it too. So does the wedding photographer.

Look at it from our point of view: we are hired to document the most important day in someone’s life. We only get one shot at it, and if anything gets messed up we won’t be able to redo it. That’s a lot of stress to place on one person’s shoulders. Would you want to place that burden on a close friend or family member?

Next Steps

If you want photos that capture the real emotion of your day without awkward moments, you’re in the right place.
