What Visual Content Actually Costs in Metro Vancouver (2026)

Jul 18, 2026 1 min read

Pricing for visual content is famously foggy, so here is the fog lifted. These are working ranges we see across Metro Vancouver in 2026, including our own quotes, so you can budget before you ever talk to a studio.

The honest ranges

A focused half-day photo session for a local business typically lands between $600 and $1,500 depending on scope and retouching depth. A brand video with a proper edit usually runs $1,500 to $6,000, driven mostly by shoot days and locations. Monthly content retainers, the steady-drumbeat option, commonly sit between $1,000 and $4,000 for a mix of photo, video, and cutdowns.

What moves the number

Shoot days move it most, then locations, then talent and licensed music. Revisions and usage rights matter too, which is why our agreements spell both out in plain language before anything is booked.

If you want a number instead of a range, our packages page lists real starting points, and a custom quote takes about a day to turn around.
