Mother & Cub

Last reviewed: August 13, 2026. Availability unconfirmed. Review pending.

Mother & Cub Toronto wedding photography is listed on Canada Wedding Guide as a historical Toronto vendor record, but the current evidence does not support treating it as a confirmed local booking option. This page was reviewed on August 13, 2026.

The supplied legacy website and telephone number lead to Mother India, an unrelated Toronto restaurant, so they cannot verify this photographer. A separate Mother & Cub website identifies photographer Kate Kirby and includes wedding material, yet it currently describes the business as being in Melbourne, Australia. Because that site also retains a Toronto wedding-package reference, the location evidence conflicts and this listing remains under review.

Review status and identity

Mother & Cub has an official-looking photography website under the motherandcub.co domain. It names Kate Kirby, displays a photography portfolio and identifies the business as Mother & Cub. The site also includes wedding images, wedding testimonials and a wedding-package description, which connects the brand to the service category on this page.

However, this is not enough to confirm the existing Canadian listing as active. The same site describes Mother & Cub as located in Melbourne, Australia, provides an Australian telephone number and does not publish a Toronto mailing address. Its retained Toronto wedding-package wording may be historical, but the site does not explain whether Toronto work is still offered.

Services and specialization

The Mother & Cub website describes portrait, lifestyle, editorial, advertising, family, event and wedding photography. For couples, its published session outline includes an engagement session and a wedding package. The engagement session is described as a one- to two-hour session that may use two locations.

The wedding-package text refers to a small wedding with four hours of coverage and up to two locations. That is a documented description of a past or retained offering, not confirmation of a currently bookable Toronto package. The site also states that clients receive professionally edited, non-watermarked images on a wooden USB.

Service area and who it may suit

The current official site explicitly identifies Melbourne, Australia as Mother & Cub’s location. It also contains a Toronto-area wedding-package reference. These statements conflict, and no official page was found that confirms present-day service in Toronto, the GTA or elsewhere in Canada.

If Mother & Cub confirms that it is accepting Toronto weddings, the published outline may be relevant to couples considering shorter coverage, an engagement session or a two-location plan. Until then, Canadian couples should regard the service area as unconfirmed rather than assume travel, local availability or destination coverage.

Confirmed strengths and practical limitations

A documented feature is the range of photography work shown and described on the official site: weddings sit alongside portraits, families, events and editorial work. The published wedding outline also specifically mentions four hours of coverage and two locations, while the engagement-session outline provides a separate couples-focused option.

The practical limitation is verification, not a judgement on the work. The official site’s Melbourne location conflicts with its Toronto wedding wording, and it does not provide a current Canadian address, Canadian phone number, local availability calendar or dated Toronto booking information. Canada Wedding Guide therefore cannot confirm that this is an active Toronto supplier.

Pricing

Current pricing is not explicitly published. The official site asks prospective clients to make contact for wedding-package pricing or a custom package, but it does not display a current rate, deposit, tax treatment, travel charge, overtime rate or delivery schedule.

Couples should request a written quote that states coverage hours, number of photographers, image delivery method, any engagement-session inclusion, travel costs, taxes, retainer amount and cancellation or postponement terms before booking.

Contact and booking

The Mother & Cub website publishes a contact form and the email address hello@motherandcub.co. It also displays an Australian telephone number. These are the only current first-party contact routes found during this review.

Booking availability is not independently confirmed. Do not use the legacy Toronto phone number or the legacy restaurant website for photography enquiries: the listed website belongs to a different business. Ask the photographer to confirm the legal business identity, current location and whether they are accepting Canadian wedding work before sending any payment.

What couples should confirm

Before treating Mother & Cub as a Toronto wedding-photography option, confirm whether Kate Kirby is currently taking Toronto or Canadian bookings; whether the Toronto package remains available; and whether travel is required or charged. Ask for a recent full wedding gallery that is relevant to the proposed coverage style and location.

Also confirm the exact package scope, the number of hours, locations, edited-image delivery, turnaround, backup arrangements, copyright or personal-use permissions, insurance if required by the venue, payment recipient and written contract terms. No official postal address is shown here because none was published on the candidate official site for the Canadian listing.
