Last reviewed: August 10, 2026. Black & Gold Photography is a Winnipeg-based husband-and-wife team, Cheryl Mains and Joel Boily, offering wedding photography across Winnipeg and Manitoba. The confirmed official site identifies them as the people behind the business and presents wedding work, portfolio material, pricing and booking information.

For couples searching for a Black & Gold Photography Winnipeg wedding photographer, the most useful starting point is the firm’s wedding page. It sets out an eight-hour base option, optional additions such as a second photographer and engagement session, and a hybrid photo-and-highlight-video approach. The details below distinguish what the business publishes from items that still need to be confirmed for an individual date.

Services and specialization

Black & Gold Photography’s primary wedding offer is photography. Its published base rate covers one photographer for an eight-hour wedding day. The wedding page also lists optional additions: a second photographer, a “Love Story” engagement session, additional hours, a wedding highlight video, content creation when both photographers are present, and other items such as travel and albums discussed during consultation.

The team describes its video option as hybrid photography: they switch between stills and video clips while prioritizing still photography. The resulting highlight video is intended as a short recap rather than a complete wedding film; the business says highlights typically run four to 10 minutes and may include moments such as the ceremony, speeches and first dance.

The official site also identifies portrait, family, newborn, maternity, commercial, branding and event photography as services outside weddings. Those offerings should not be assumed to be included in a wedding booking.

Service area and who it may suit

The business says it has photographed weddings across Winnipeg and Manitoba and displays a Winnipeg address. Its site shows work at a range of Manitoba venues and also notes experience with queer, lesbian, gay and LGBTQI2+ weddings, as well as Indian, Jewish, Hindu, Sikh and Filipino weddings.

This may suit couples planning a Winnipeg or Manitoba wedding who want photography as the central deliverable and may wish to add a short highlight video. It may also suit couples whose day needs more than one photographer or more than the base eight hours, subject to the team’s availability and the final quote.

The public website does not publish a firm geographic boundary, destination policy or travel-fee schedule. Couples outside Winnipeg, or with multiple distant getting-ready locations, should ask whether travel, timing and staffing can be accommodated.

Confirmed strengths and practical limitations

A documented feature is the two-person structure: Cheryl and Joel describe themselves as a husband-and-wife photography team, and the wedding page offers the option to add a second photographer. Their official site also documents a hybrid workflow for still photography plus short video clips, rather than presenting video as a separate full-film service.

Another practical feature is the business’s published planning information. It says the team can often work with two getting-ready locations depending on distance, asks for two hours for formal photos with the couple and wedding party, and advises keeping photo locations at or near the venue where possible to reduce travel.

The practical limitations are equally important. Black & Gold Photography says it generally does not take weddings under eight hours unless the date is within six months. It does not offer video-only bookings, and its highlight video is not a substitute for full ceremony or reception-film coverage. Public pages also do not provide a complete price list for every add-on, a definitive travel-fee schedule or availability calendar.

What couples should confirm

Before booking, ask which photographer or photographers will attend, whether the proposed date qualifies for the normal eight-hour minimum, and what the final hours and add-ons cost. If both partners are getting ready in different places, provide the exact locations and timeline so the team can assess feasibility.

If adding video, confirm the expected highlight length, the moments to be covered, whether audio or full ceremony and speeches are needed, and the delivery timeline. The business says photo delivery can take up to 12 weeks and video up to four months, though timing may be shorter depending on season.

Also confirm travel fees, album options, meal requirements, wet-weather planning, image-delivery format, cancellation or rescheduling terms, and the precise deposit and payment conditions in the contract. These details are not fully set out in the public pages.
