Vancouver wedding photography — Arman Arai

🇨🇦 British Columbia, Canada

Vancouver
Wedding Photographer

Mountains, ocean, and the kind of overcast light that flatters everyone.

Arman’s take

Vancouver is where I grew up with a camera in my hand, and it is still one of the most photogenic cities in the world for weddings. The mountains behind you, the Pacific in front, and a sky that diffuses light evenly for most of the year — it is practically built for portraiture. I know the light in Stanley Park at 5pm in October. I know which Gastown alley goes golden. I know where to stand so that the North Shore mountains sit perfectly behind two people in love. Couples get married here for the landscape, the food, and the ease. They get extraordinary photographs because of the light.

Light & atmosphere

Vancouver's overcast sky is a photographer's gift — soft, directional, and consistent across the whole day. When the sun does break through, particularly in late afternoon along the waterfront, the light turns the city amber in a way that is genuinely hard to replicate. The mountains are the backdrop no other city has.

Questions

Frequently Asked

Is travel included in the price for Canadian weddings?+

Yes — for weddings in Canadian metro areas (Vancouver, Toronto, Montreal, Victoria), travel is included in the package price. No surprise fees.

How much does wedding photography cost?+

Packages start around $3,000–$4,000 CAD for intimate coverage and go up depending on hours, add-ons, and whether you want video or an album. I share exact numbers on a discovery call so we can match the right package to your day.

How far in advance should I book?+

For prime summer Saturdays, 12–18 months ahead is ideal. For weekdays, off-season, or shorter notice, reach out anyway — I often have availability.

What does a typical package include?+

Full-day coverage, a private online gallery, and a sneak peek within 5 days. Engagement sessions, video, and albums are available as add-ons. We customize everything on the discovery call.

What is your photography style?+

I shoot in two modes simultaneously: editorial and film-inspired (deliberate, directorial, print-worthy) and documentary (quiet, present, authentic). Every album gets both — because your day deserves both.

Do you offer engagement sessions?+

Yes, included in most full-day packages. It is a chance to build rapport before your wedding day and for you to feel natural in front of a lens.

How many photos will we receive?+

Typically 500–700 edited images for a full day, delivered in a private gallery within 6–8 weeks. Volume varies by day length and coverage.

Do you offer wedding videography?+

Yes, as a cinematic highlight film add-on. Available as a standalone or bundled in luxury packages. We go through options on the discovery call.

How do I inquire and book?+

Fill out the inquiry form and I will reach out to schedule a discovery call. A 30% retainer secures your date once we have confirmed the fit.
