Congratulations on your engagement! Planning your wedding in beautiful Calgary is an exciting journey, and one of the most important decisions you'll make is choosing the right photographer to capture your special day. Your wedding photos will be lasting memories, so selecting a package that aligns with your vision, needs, and budget is crucial.
At Clear As Rain Media Group, we understand that every wedding is unique. That's why we've crafted three distinct wedding photography packages – the Golden Hour Package, the Candid Light Collection, and the Clear As Rain Signature Collection – each designed to offer exceptional value and cater to different preferences.
Let's dive into what each package includes to help you choose the perfect fit for your Calgary wedding:

- What's Included: This package includes a significant amount of photographer labor (reflected in $920 labor cost) to document more of your day, from getting ready to the main events of the reception. You'll also receive a $350 print shop gift card to help you bring your cherished memories to life in print. Our approach with this collection leans heavily into capturing authentic, unscripted moments.

We also include a second professional photographer (costing $600) to ensure multiple perspectives and capture even more moments. You'll also receive a generous $700 print shop gift card to create stunning albums and prints. As a special touch, this collection often includes a complimentary engagement session (as discussed previously), allowing us to connect and capture your love story even before your big day.
- The Value: This premium package offers the most comprehensive coverage, ensuring no moment is missed. The addition of a second photographer provides diverse perspectives, and the substantial print credit allows you to create lasting tangible memories. It's the perfect choice for couples who want the full Clear As Rain Media Group experience.
Understanding the Investment:
We believe in transparent pricing and want you to understand where your investment goes. A significant portion of the cost for each package covers the time and expertise of your photographer(s) – from the hours spent shooting on your wedding day to the meticulous editing process that ensures your photos are perfect. The mid-range and premium packages also include the added value of print shop gift cards, and our signature collection includes the invaluable service of a second photographer.
