Ashley Cecilia Photography is a Halifax wedding photographer offering full-day, half-day and short intimate-wedding coverage. The confirmed official website identifies the business by name, describes Ashley as the photographer and presents wedding work based in Halifax, Nova Scotia. Its preferred visual language is “real, warm, intimate,” with an emphasis on preserving emotional moments truthfully.

This profile replaces the unrelated legacy website with the confirmed official domain, ashleyceciliaphoto.com. It summarizes only details documented there. Published prices and package descriptions are useful starting points, but one availability note on the site still refers to 2024 and 2025; couples planning a 2026 or later wedding should therefore obtain a current written quotation before relying on any displayed terms.

Evidence status and last review

Last reviewed: August 2, 2026. The business is marked Active because its live official domain contains the distinctive identity “Ashley Cecilia Photography,” identifies Ashley, provides wedding-specific packages, and publishes a working contact route. This satisfies the identity requirement independently of the old directory record.

The official site consistently lists 52 Evans Avenue, Halifax, NS B3M 1C4 and (905) 995-1734. Those details differ from the unverified legacy record, so couples should use the information on the confirmed official domain.

Services and specialization

Ashley’s website covers wedding, portrait, couples, boudoir, family and brand photography. For weddings, the documented options range from ten-hour coverage to a two-hour collection for elopements and intimate celebrations. Timeline-planning advice and edited high-resolution digital delivery through a private online gallery are included across the listed wedding collections.

The full-day and half-day collections each list one photographer plus one assistant and a complimentary 30-image engagement session. The shorter collection is designed for elopements, non-traditional timelines and intimate weddings with fewer than 15 people; it lists one photographer and a discount on an engagement session rather than a complimentary session.

Wedding package options

The Full Day collection lists ten hours of coverage, timeline advice, one photographer and one assistant, a 30-image engagement session, and at least 500 edited high-resolution images. The site describes its typical span as preparations through approximately the first hour of dancing.

The Half Day collection provides six hours, usually from the ceremony through the first dance. It lists the same staffing and engagement-session structure, with at least 400 edited high-resolution images. The intimate-wedding and elopement collection provides two hours with one photographer, timeline advice, at least 200 edited high-resolution digital images and $100 off an engagement session.

Service area and who it may suit

Ashley states that she is based in downtown Halifax. Travel within a 30-minute drive is included in the posted wedding packages, while locations beyond that radius may attract travel fees. The homepage also presents Nova Scotia locations—including coast, forest, field, mountain and chapel settings—as possibilities, but couples should request a location-specific travel quote.

The package structure may suit couples wanting a documented choice between extended wedding-day storytelling, ceremony-to-first-dance coverage, or a short elopement timeline. Couples who value an engagement session may find the two longer collections relevant. Those planning more than one venue, significant travel or a celebration outside Halifax should confirm logistics before comparing the displayed package totals.

Confirmed strengths and practical limitations

Documented practical features include published coverage hours, minimum edited-image counts, high-resolution downloads, private online galleries, timeline-planning advice and engagement-session inclusions. The site also posts separate prices for additional time and an additional photographer, making several common upgrades visible before an enquiry.

The main limitation is currency of information. Although the package page is live and displays prices, its availability text says the photographer was booking through the end of 2024 and discussing 2025. The same site gives slightly different response expectations—within 24 hours on the contact page and up to 48 hours on the homepage. Neither point proves inactivity, but both should be clarified directly. The public pages also do not fully explain taxes, cancellation or postponement terms, image-use rights, gallery retention, insurance, or contingency arrangements.

Pricing

The official Wedding Packages page currently displays CAD $4,000 for ten-hour Full Day coverage, $3,300 for six-hour Half Day coverage, and $1,600 for the two-hour intimate-wedding or elopement collection. Additional time for the short collection is shown at $250 per hour.

Posted add-ons are $250 for an additional hour, $450 for an engagement session, boudoir sessions starting at $350, and $700 for an additional photographer. The FAQ states that website fees are in Canadian dollars. Because the availability wording is dated and the pages do not clearly state whether tax is included, confirm the applicable 2026 rate, tax, travel and complete deliverables in a written proposal.

Contact and booking

Wedding enquiries can be submitted through the official contact form. The site lists info@ashleyceciliaphoto.com and invites clients to text (905) 995-1734 if an email response does not arrive. The contact form asks what type of photography is being booked and provides a wedding option.

The contact and package pages state that a $500 non-refundable payment is required to reserve a wedding date. The remaining wedding balance is described as due one week before the event, with invoice-based credit or debit payments and Interac e-Transfer mentioned. Ask for the contract and invoice before sending funds, and verify that the date has been formally reserved.

What couples should confirm

Before booking, request a current proposal tied to the wedding date, locations and desired coverage. The following points are either date-dependent or not completely resolved on the public pages:

Ask Ashley to confirm availability and whether the displayed package rates remain current.

Confirm whether HST, travel, parking, accommodation or venue-access costs are additional.

Clarify whether the listed assistant photographs independently or serves in a non-shooting support role; an additional photographer is separately priced on the site. Ask how this applies to the selected collection.

Confirm the contracted start and finish times, overtime procedure and minimum final image count.
Request the current turnaround commitment; the package page states 10–12 weeks, while an older FAQ states about 10 weeks for weddings.
Review cancellation, postponement, backup-photographer, equipment-failure and severe-weather provisions.
Clarify personal printing rights, social-media permissions, gallery expiry, archival practices and whether albums or prints are available.
Obtain a written travel estimate for any location more than 30 minutes from downtown Halifax.
