What SoWedding.ca does

SoWedding.ca is a boutique wedding photography and videography studio headquartered at 12051 Horseshoe Way, Unit #145, in Richmond, British Columbia, Canada. The company provides full-service visual coverage of weddings, including wedding-day photography, cinematic wedding videography (highlight reels, teasers, and same-day edits), pre-wedding shoots, engagement and save-the-date sessions, proposal photography, elopement and micro/virtual wedding coverage, destination wedding shoots, editorial styled shoots, and post-wedding maternity and family photography. Adjacent offerings include wedding dress and evening dress rental for pre-wedding sessions and partnership-arranged professional hair and makeup services.

The studio is built on professional photography and videography equipment with cinematic editing capability, supported by a small named team of photographers and videographers (including Nick, Dave, Erin, Joel, Hannah, and Herman). Service packages are quote-based and customized, while a discrete physical product line — including flushmount albums (Knot, Tender, Eternity, Chocolate Leather variants) and wood-stretched canvas prints — is priced publicly in CAD between approximately $120 and $950 per unit.

The business operates a direct-to-consumer, sales-led go-to-market: couples inquire through the website, hold consultation meetings, and book customized photo-plus-video packages. SoWedding serves a primary local market in Vancouver and British Columbia alongside a destination-shoot footprint spanning Paris, London, Cancun, Lake Louise, Yellowknife, Hawaii, Ireland, Japan, Greece, and other international locations. Marketing relies on a categorized portfolio website, an Instagram presence (~2,000 followers), a verified Trustindex rating from 70+ Google reviews, and editorial features in WedLuxe Magazine and West Coast Weddings. The company is privately held, founder-operated, and currently booking weddings for 2026 and 2027.
