WHAT WE OFFER
Madrona Drive Photography offers custom photography services located in the stunning rural setting of southern Vancouver Island.
Specializing in coastally inspired imagery, we offer Landscape Images, including gardens, homes, golf courses, and vineyards; Seascape Images, including boats and waterfront properties; and Lifestyle Images, including portraits, families, and recreational activities.
At Madrona Drive Photography, we believe that pictures tell a story; we create images that will help tell your story – a story about your business, family, hobbies, home, and life. Together, we will work with you to develop a library of custom images that captures your world and display your collection in home or office.
Our work is as bespoke as our location, which has been designed to provide the perfect backdrop for your shoot. Whether you’d like us to come to your ideal location or, join us at one of our special areas around the Saanich Peninsula, Victoria or Vancouver Island, our approach is versatile and will always be tailored to suit your preferences.
Alternatively, our home on the ocean features a private beach, a mooring buoy suitable for large boats, a photo studio, and decks with various views, including sea, sky, and landscapes.
We want to capture you doing the things you love; our team of professionals will assist you with every element of your project, and coach you on how to prepare and present your story. We offer a variety of support to see you through the shoot, including an assistant, additional photographer, printer, picture framer, and hair and makeup services.
After initial contact, we will meet to discuss your vision, your concept, the final product, and create a mutually agreeable timeline.
We will require a small, non-refundable deposit before developing a document that details the deliverables, timelines, special considerations, requirements, and quote.
Once both parties have signed off on the project, a deposit of 50% of the quote will be required to proceed.
Please note that photography pricing can become complex due to factors outside of our control, such as weather or location. We are happy to offer you a fixed quote or a flexible quote, to accommodate possible price changes, and can promise that there will be no hidden charges. We do not charge for consumables or commuting within our local area of Sidney, Saanich and Victoria. However, we charge a small fee per kilometer outside of our catchment area.
FOR YOUR PHOTOSHOOT:
THE DAY OF THE SHOOT & BEYOND
We will contact you 72 hours before the photoshoot date to confirm details, including weather challenges if applicable. A preview of the images will be provided for client review usually within seven business days after the photoshoot. Final edits will then be made and delivered to the client following payment of the remaining fees. If a third party is required for printing and framing, timelines may vary. Images will be shot in RAW format and edited with non-destructive software that converts files to a JPEG. Original RAW images are retained by Madrona Drive Photography.
