Frequently Asked Questions
Before We Tell Your Story
Choosing the right photography team is about more than comparing packages. It's about finding people you trust to preserve one of the most meaningful days of your life. Here you'll find answers to the questions couples ask most before booking with Avelune.
1. What happens after we inquire?
Once you submit your inquiry, we'll get back to you within 24 to 48 hours. If we're available for your date, we'll invite you to a complimentary discovery call where we'll get to know each other, hear about your wedding plans, answer your questions, and make sure we're the right fit. If you decide to move forward, we'll send your agreement and retainer invoice. Once both are completed, your wedding date is officially reserved, and we'll begin planning together.
2. How far in advance should we book our wedding?
Most couples reserve their date between 6 and 18 months in advance, especially for peak wedding season. We recommend reaching out as soon as you have your venue and date secured. While we occasionally have last minute availability, booking early ensures we can be part of your celebration.
3. Do you travel for weddings?
Absolutely. While Avelune Weddings is proudly based in Toronto, we photograph weddings throughout Canada and the United States. We're also available for destination weddings around the world. Wherever your story takes you, we'd love to be part of it. Travel arrangements can be discussed during your consultation so everything is planned seamlessly.
4. What wedding collections do you offer?
Our collections are thoughtfully designed to suit a variety of wedding celebrations, from intimate ceremonies to full day coverage. Every collection includes professionally edited high resolution images delivered through a beautiful online gallery, with options to add engagement sessions, videography, albums, and additional coverage. During our discovery call, we'll help you choose the collection that best fits your day.
5. How long will you be with us on the wedding day?
Coverage depends on the collection you choose. We offer flexible options designed around your timeline, whether you need a few hours for an intimate celebration or full day coverage from getting ready through the dance floor. During our consultation, we'll help you determine the ideal amount of coverage for your wedding.
6. When will we receive our photos and films?
We know you'll be excited to relive your wedding day. That's why we work hard to deliver your memories without a long wait. Your fully edited wedding gallery and films are typically delivered within 2 to 3 weeks, carefully edited in Avelune's signature style and presented through a beautiful online gallery that's easy to share with family and friends.
7. How many photos will we receive?
Every wedding is unique, so we never limit your memories to a fixed number. You'll receive all the best professionally edited images that beautifully tell the story of your day. The final gallery size depends on the length of coverage and the events throughout your wedding.
8. Are all images professionally edited?
Yes. Every image is individually hand edited in Avelune's signature style, with careful attention to colour, lighting, composition, and consistency. We never deliver unedited images because every photograph should reflect the quality and experience our couples expect.
9. What if we're awkward in front of the camera?
Absolutely. In fact, most of our couples tell us the exact same thing. Our approach is built around gentle guidance rather than stiff posing. We'll guide you naturally while giving you plenty of space to enjoy each other, helping you feel comfortable, confident, and present. The result is photographs that feel effortless, genuine, and truly like you.
10. What happens if we need to reschedule or postpone?
We understand that plans can sometimes change. If you need to reschedule, we'll do everything we can to accommodate your new date, subject to availability. If unforeseen circumstances arise, we'll work closely with you to find the best possible solution. Our goal is always to make the process as smooth and stress free as possible.
