Quarum Photo and Video

What Quarum Photo and Video does

Quarum Photo and Video is a privately held wedding photography and videography studio founded in 1989 and based in Woodbridge, Ontario, operating under Quarum Photo & Video Inc. The company is owned and run by husband-and-wife founders Mark and Nikki Piotrowski, with Mark serving as lead photographer and client sales lead and Nikki managing supplier relations, consultations, and aftersales. Quarum serves primarily engaged couples in the Greater Toronto Area's luxury wedding segment, with secondary service to corporate clients (EllisDon, Liberty Mutual, Harvey Kalles, Z103.5) and personal milestone events.

The core product is full-service wedding coverage delivered through photo packages (starting at $3,500) and video packages (starting at $4,000), with most engagements bundling both. Technical delivery relies on professional 4K cinematic videography, two videographers per event, 40 hours of human post-production, and add-on capabilities including same-day edits, aerial drone coverage, custom-covered magazines, and engagement shoots. All packages include a complimentary pre-wedding consultation and full-day coverage from groom preparation through 11pm.

The go-to-market is sales-led and direct-to-consumer: phone consultations, website inquiries, bridal show appearances, vendor referrals, and radio partnerships (notably Z103.5). Distribution is regional (GTA, Ontario, Muskoka, Niagara) with selected destination weddings in Jamaica, Mexico, Costa Rica, and Grand Cayman. Revenue is generated almost entirely through one-time project fees with hardware-style add-ons (albums, prints, magazines), and the company is bootstrapped with no external funding, no subsidiaries, and no M&A activity. The team is small (5 employees), and customer acquisition is driven by 36 years of brand recognition, bridal publication features, and a tightly integrated vendor referral network.
