14 Best Photographers in Ottawa

Having a good smartphone with a high-resolution camera is great…for Instagram and social media platforms, maybe. But for those important and memorable events, the best photographers in Ottawa can capture moments better.

Some people understandably balk at the thought of hiring one because of the perceived expenses that come with it. 

To give you a general idea of the costs, we’ll be discussing the different photography rates in the next section.

How Much Do Photographers Charge in Ottawa?

For this listicle, we selected different types of photography specializations. 

Some of the studios and photographers in Ottawa charge according to output, time, and other factors as illustrated by the table below. 

PHOTOGRAPHER/PHOTOGRAPHY TYPEESTIMATED COST
Wedding photography (Laura Kelly Photography)$5,850 for 10 hours of wedding day coverage, engagement session, engagement and wedding online photo gallery and physical album
Commercial photography (JVL Photography)$1,000 – $2,000 creative fee for half or full-day shoot, images with a single-user license
Architecture, exterior/interior photography (Photolux Commercial Studio)$750 – $25,000 based on project and equipment requirements
Family photography (Tammy Bouchard Photography)$700 – $800 up for family portraits with 25 – 35 high-res black and white images

The fees can also depend on how specialized a shoot is and if it involves advertising and commercial intentions. For these, commercial licensing fees will come into play.

Generally, personal photography sessions involving family members, newborns, and pets are more affordable than commercial shoots. Other expenses involving distance, location, equipment, and schedules could factor in the final cost, as well. 

The Best Photographers in Ottawa

Ready to have your special events professionally captured? Then let’s take a look at what the best photographers of Ottawa can do to achieve this.

1. JVL Photography

JVL Photography
SERVICESCorporate, editorial, portrait, and architectural photography
ADDRESS65 Laurel Street, Ottawa, Ontario K1Y 3E1

OPERATING HOURSBy appointment

Justin Van Leeuwen is the eye behind JVL Photography. He specializes in commercial photography with an emphasis on architecture, interior design, editorials, portraits, and trade events.

His photography studio also does headshots and custom stock photos for different brands and corporate clients. 

Justin’s commercial architecture portfolio shows no-frills, straightforward images of buildings, homes, and commercial façades that look compelling in their simplicity. On the other hand, his portraits and headshots capture pure expressions without ending up looking staged or posed.

It’s rare to see a photographer with an eye for capturing both stone, steel, and wooden constructions while being able to portray everyday humanity with smiles and natural expressions in seemingly unguarded moments.

Aside from being featured in regional and national print and online publications, JLV Photography also boasts of having impressive return clients like Telus and the Canadian Internet Registration Authority.

Pros

  • Multi-awarded photographer
  • Reasonable half and full-day rates
  • Can do both commercial and personal photography

Cons

  • No captions for online portfolio
  • No fixed operating hours
  • No BBB accreditation

Customer Reviews

See how past clients liked JVL Photography’s services:

“Not only is Justin’s work excellent, but he’s also very easy to work with. I hired Justin to photograph a great room makeover and was impressed at how his photos captured the energy of a room. Working with Justin was a breeze: clear communication with him and his team at the photoshoot, and a quick post-production turn-around. I look forward to working with him again.” – Saree Parry Design

“JVL Photography was wonderful to work with. It was easy to schedule our photo shoots as JVL was very cooperative in working with our clients and our schedules. The proofs were received in a very timely manner and final copies were received just as fast. We would absolutely work with JVL Photography again.” – ARTium Design-Build

2. Laura Kelly Photography

OPERATING HOURSBy appointment only

We included a wedding and engagement session photographer in this listicle because they’re one of the most in-demand types as far as photography goes. Laura Kelly’s portfolio is also a gorgeous, sentimental trip into the lives of her clients.

Laura Kelly Photography was conceived by the woman behind the lens who’s been in love with the man she intended to marry since she was 17 years old. 

Today, the thrill of being with her high school sweetheart is still evident in the soft, fairytale-like filter that often shows up in her wedding photography.

Laura offers both engagement photoshoots and wedding-day photography. Her studio can also accommodate maternity shoots, newborn photography, and other lifestyle and social branding imaging needs.

She reassures engaged couples that it won’t matter if they shoot in an exotic location or a garage as she “cares about people, not backgrounds”. This is a refreshing take on pre-nuptial photography because it focuses on the couple’s story and not on cheesy, gimmicky backdrops. 

Pros

  • Reasonable wedding and lifestyle package rates
  • Clear and informative photo galleries
  • Honest and natural wedding and pre-nuptial imagery

Cons

  • Separate pricing for printed photo albums
  • No BBB accreditation
  • No fixed operating hours

Customer Reviews

She has gone completely above & beyond throughout this entire process and EXUDES love for her craft — We are SO lucky (& happy) that she is our photographer!” – Michelle and Mike

“Worked with Laura at a wedding this summer– she is extremely friendly and professional and her photos speak for themselves! If you need a wedding photographer, look no further!” – Jinbon Lau

OPERATING HOURSMonday to Sunday 6 AM – 8 PM

As a lifestyle documentary photographer, Tammy Bouchard wants to (as she puts it) “capture your story through light and artistry”. The softly-lit, ethereal quality of her photos attests to this claim.

She regards professional photographs as something beyond mere photography products. For her and her clients, they’re heirloom pieces that can be passed down from one beloved family member to the next.

Her process is a unique and sentimental one. She works both indoors and outdoors of a client’s home to truly capture a family’s essence and mood in an untouched, unstaged, and natural manner.

Testimonials to her work often mention how professionally and quietly she captures private moments that clients almost forget she’s there in the background. Browsing through Tammy Bouchard’s portfolio feels like being allowed into intimate moments where different moods and expressions come as naturally as sunlight.

Pros

  • Open 7 days a week
  • Naturally-lit lifestyle documentation
  • Affordable rates

Customer Reviews

See why past clients liked their experience with Tammy Bouchard Photography:

“Working with Tammy was such a great experience! She doesn’t make it feel like a service transaction. Her shoots are so natural and easy-going, and there’s no stress. The fact that she can come to you when you have little kids gives you the peace of mind knowing they will feel comfortable.” – Danielle & Bobby Ryan

“Tammy is our go-to family photographer. Her work speaks for itself, it is so untouched, stunning, and real. At first, we were unsure how a “docu-style” photography session would work; would it be weird having someone snaps pics of you without you knowing? Invasive? Awkward? No, no and no. It was completely natural, relaxed, and comfortable—way less stressful than a staged session. Tammy is so great at what she does that you barely know she’s there, we just went about our daily lives. What she captures is a family at the moment in a raw, real moment. It makes for a beautiful story and something that we will cherish for a lifetime. Thank you Tammy for capturing our precious moments and making them a lasting memory.” – Julie & Kyle Turris

OPERATING HOURSOpen 24 hours

If you’re looking for a photographer who has a range of skills and different photoshoot packages, Sarah Stewart Photography may be the best choice for you. 

They offer standard services like headshots, family and maternity shots, pets, and weddings. Sarah Stewart, the woman behind the company, makes sure that the photoshoots that she does for her clients are tailor fit to their needs and preferences. 

One of the things that make them stand out is their pin-up and glamor services. Pinup sessions are customizable to customers, and they can even do calendar shoots. 

Thinking of gifting this to a friend? Not to worry, because pinup parties are available and they also do it onsite.

This could be a great theme for a bridal shower if your guests are into it. Speaking of, another service that we like about Sarah Stewart Photography is she ‘Trash the Dress’ photoshoots available to add to your wedding packages. 

Sarah Stewart Photography offers a wide selection of photography services. The only thing that we didn’t like is that despite their relatively high pricing, they do not offer print options for their photos.  

Some packages include hair and makeup wardrobe, coaching, and set design. Their prices are reasonable for all of the services listed.

In total, you get bang for your buck when you avail of their services. We recommend Sarah Stewart Photography, especially if you are eyeing a one-of-a-kind experience photoshoot.

Pros

  • Pin up and glamor shots are one of their specializations
  • Opportunity to be published in a magazine
  • Half day and whole day rates in comprehensive packages

Cons

  • No BBB accreditation

OPERATING HOURSN/A

With more than 20 years of experience, Christina is a seasoned photographer who has been part of events like eSax Ottawa, The Heart of Orleans BIA, and RAW Artists Canada.

There are a lot of reasons why we recommend Christina. First of all, her services are very flexible, and she’d be more than willing to accommodate your requests as a client.

In fact, Heart of Orléans BIA is one of her satisfied clients and they have nothing but praises for her high quality work. She handled a lot of aspects of the project, and everything went smoothly.

We think it just goes to show that she’s very talented in various fields of photography. So if you’re looking for someone like that, then she’s definitely the one.

In comparing her to other photographers, in 2021, she has received the “Orléans Leading Women and Girls Recognition 2021 Award” from MPP Marie-France Lalonde for services rendered/volunteered during the pandemic at no charge. Over the course of a few months, she photographed 115 families and at least 25 businesses at no charge.

There was no personal gain – she did so solely in exchange for donations to the Orléans food banks. To add more to this, she actually volunteers often and gives out gift certificates for worthy causes.

However, her studio doesn’t have fixed operating hours. Thus, we recommend getting in touch with her first through her social media pages before planning an appointment.

Nonetheless, we think that Christina’s services are really great, especially considering her highly competitive rates.

Pros

  • More than 20 years of experience
  • Proficient in various types of photography
  • Affordable rates

Cons

  • No fixed operating hours
  • No notable awards as of writing

OPERATING HOURSOpen 24 hours

Benamoz Ltd. is a photography company in Ottawa specializing in portraiture. We immediately found it impressive that they have over 20 years of experience, as we think this established their expertise.

Another thing we found remarkable is they have received numerous awards and honorable mentions, such as the International Photography Awards, See-Me in NYC Times Square, and many more.

It’s also nice that they included a comprehensive work portfolio on their website, as we believe this is an excellent way to showcase their work to potential clients.

Although they don’t have a large team, we believe this does not impact the quality of their services because they compensate by using modern and world-class cameras and lighting equipment.

Benamoz Ltd. shoots only with Canon and Fuji cameras, using Profoto lighting equipment.

Looking at their previous work, we noticed that this company showcases portraits and candid shots in black and white, which we believe is ideal for editorial shoots and events.

We also appreciated that they offer both private and public shoots and that their services are not limited to Canada, as they have shot clients from all over the world.

Moreover, many of the customers we’ve spoken with have commented on how professional they were from start to finish, making them one of the best photographers in Ottawa.
