Samuel Tessier Photographe

Last reviewed: August 9, 2026. Business status: Active.

Samuel Tessier Photographe is a Quebec City wedding photographer serving couples in the greater Quebec City area and Charlevoix. His official wedding page describes coverage across Quebec City and Lévis as well as Baie-Saint-Paul and La Malbaie. The same official domain identifies Samuel Tessier by name, provides a wedding portfolio and service page, and publishes current contact information, establishing a clear match to this business record.

Samuel’s documented wedding service is structured around telling the story of the day, with coverage described from preparations through the ceremony, couple portraits and first dance. Printed albums are a notable part of the offer: the official site says every wedding photography package includes a personalized, handmade album. This profile was last reviewed on August 9, 2026; couples should still confirm their date, exact inclusions and final quotation directly.

Services and specialization

Samuel Tessier’s official site presents wedding photography as one part of a wider professional photography practice. For weddings, his stated focus is documenting the sequence and emotion of the day rather than delivering only a collection of isolated portraits. The site specifically references preparations, official photographs, the ceremony, the couple’s session and the first dance.

The wedding page describes a turnkey service covering planning, preparation, photography, image processing and delivery of the finished product. It also documents several optional products and sessions. These should be discussed when requesting a quotation because the site does not say that every optional item is included in the starting package.

• Wedding-day photography
• Planning and preparation for the photography assignment
• Image processing and finished-product delivery
• Personalized handmade wedding album included with each wedding package
• Optional pre-wedding photography session
• Optional invitations and thank-you cards
• Optional large-format prints and parent albums

Coverage approach and documented deliverables

The official English homepage characterizes Samuel’s event approach as photojournalistic with a creative element. It says he tries to remain discreet so people can be photographed naturally while also directing posed photographs when needed. That offers couples a useful indication of the intended balance between candid coverage and organized portraits, although the portfolio remains the best source for judging whether the finished style matches their preferences.

A physical album is the clearest documented wedding deliverable. The site says it is personalized, handmade and produced with high-quality materials. However, album size, page count, design revisions, image-selection process and production timeline are not published on the reviewed pages.

• Coverage is described as extending from preparations to the first dance
• The approach combines natural event coverage with direction when posed photographs are required
• Every wedding package is stated to include a printed album
• A pre-wedding session may be arranged and its photographs may be used for invitations

Service area and who it may suit

The dedicated wedding page names the greater Quebec City and Lévis area, along with Charlevoix locations including Baie-Saint-Paul and La Malbaie. The main site also says Samuel works around Quebec City, Lévis, the South Shore, Portneuf and Charlevoix, and may travel elsewhere in Quebec on request.

This may suit couples planning a city wedding in Quebec City, portraits in historic or natural settings around the region, or a celebration in Charlevoix. It may also interest couples who want an album-led finished collection rather than digital coverage alone. Travel availability, mileage charges and any accommodation requirements should be confirmed for venues outside the named core areas.

• Greater Quebec City
• Lévis and the South Shore
• Portneuf
• Charlevoix, including Baie-Saint-Paul and La Malbaie
• Other locations in Quebec on request

Confirmed strengths and practical limitations

A confirmed feature of the service is that every wedding package includes a personalized handmade album. The official pages also explain the stages Samuel expects to handle, from planning through image processing and the final product. His published approach accommodates both discreet, natural event coverage and directed photographs where appropriate.

The reviewed wedding material does not specify the number of coverage hours, number of delivered photographs, digital-file resolution, online-gallery arrangements, delivery deadline, backup procedures or whether a second photographer is available for weddings. These are evidence gaps rather than negative findings. Couples should request them in writing before comparing this offer with another photographer’s package.

• Confirmed feature: a handmade album is included with each wedding package
• Confirmed feature: pre-wedding sessions and several printed products are available as options
• Limitation: detailed wedding-package tiers and coverage hours are not shown on the reviewed page
• Limitation: taxes, travel charges, payment schedule and cancellation terms are not stated
• Limitation: no wedding-specific delivery timeline or image count is published

Pricing

At the time of review, Samuel Tessier’s official wedding-services page stated that summer wedding photography packages start at $2,750. This is a starting figure rather than a complete quotation. The page does not define the applicable summer dates or state whether taxes, travel, additional hours or optional printed products are included in that amount.

The contact page notes more generally that some rates are not displayed because several factors are considered when evaluating a project. Couples should therefore provide the wedding date, venue, expected schedule and desired products to obtain a detailed proposal. Ask how long the quoted rate remains valid and whether the included handmade album affects package-production timelines.

Current prices are not published on the official pages reviewed.

• Published summer starting price: $2,750
• No complete wedding price table was available on the reviewed pages
• Final pricing should be obtained directly from the photographer

What couples should confirm

Start by reviewing complete wedding galleries, not only individual portfolio highlights, and ask whether Samuel personally photographs every booked wedding. Confirm how candid coverage and directed portraits will be balanced for your schedule, especially if photographs are planned at multiple locations.

The quotation should clearly state what the starting package includes and which products cost extra. Album details deserve particular attention because an album is described as part of every package. Couples should also confirm digital delivery, archiving, contingency arrangements and travel costs before signing.

• Who will photograph the wedding and whether a second photographer can be added
• Coverage start and finish times, plus the additional-hour rate
• Minimum or expected number of delivered images
