Don Epp Photography is a Coquitlam wedding photographer serving Vancouver areas, Abbotsford and the Fraser Valley.

It also identifies details that should be clarified in a written proposal, particularly because the packages and FAQ pages use different wording about engagement sessions and albums.

Services and specialization

Wedding photography is a principal service on Don Epp Photography’s official site. Don describes his work as storytelling: primarily candid photographs and real moments, with fine-art treatment brought into the couple’s portraits. The stated visual direction is colourful, natural and timeless rather than based on heavy filters.

The published wedding packages cover three, six, eight or twelve hours. The three-hour option lists one photographer, while the six-, eight- and twelve-hour packages list two photographers. Every published option includes edited high-resolution digital images, a complete colour set, a complete black-and-white set and a private online gallery for viewing, sharing, printing and downloading.

• Candid coverage with fine-art wedding portraits
• Wedding and engagement photography
• Edited high-resolution colour and black-and-white files
• Private downloadable online galleries

Photography approach and deliverables

The official FAQ says Don takes a collaborative approach informed by each couple’s personality and the energy of the wedding. His site presents a mix of unobtrusive candid coverage and directed portrait work, rather than an exclusively documentary or exclusively posed service.

Published image ranges increase with coverage: 200–300 images for three hours, 600–800 for six hours, 800–1,000 for eight hours and 1,200–1,400 for twelve hours. The Premium package also lists a 16-by-20-inch wall print. The FAQ states that selected preview images are delivered within four business days and the complete private gallery within 15 business days.

• Published image-count ranges for each standard package
• Four-business-day target for preview photographs
• Fifteen-business-day target for the complete gallery

Service area and who it may suit

Don is based in Coquitlam and says he serves all Vancouver areas, as well as Abbotsford and the Fraser Valley. This makes the profile relevant to couples planning in Coquitlam or comparing photographers across the wider region. The reviewed pages do not define travel boundaries or list travel charges, so venue-specific terms should be requested.

The service may suit couples who want a combination of candid moments and polished portraits, downloadable high-resolution files in both colour and black and white, and a choice of shorter or fuller-day coverage. The three-hour package provides a documented option for a compact timeline, while packages of six hours or more include two photographers.

• Based in Coquitlam
• Officially serves Vancouver areas, Abbotsford and the Fraser Valley
• Coverage choices ranging from three to twelve hours

Confirmed strengths and practical limitations

Documented features include two-photographer coverage in the six-, eight- and twelve-hour packages, stated image-count ranges, high-resolution delivery, colour and black-and-white sets, and a private gallery. The FAQ also states that Don and the second photographer carry liability insurance. Don identifies himself as a member of the Professional Photographers of Canada.

A practical limitation is that the official packages page and FAQ are not fully consistent about album and engagement-session inclusions. The packages page says couples booking six hours or more choose either a complimentary engagement session or an album. Some FAQ wording can be read as providing both. The reviewed wedding pages also do not specify tax treatment, travel fees, parking or permit costs, or a wedding videography service.

• Confirm whether the engagement session and album are alternatives or both included
• Ask whether quoted prices include tax and venue-related expenses
• Confirm travel terms for the specific ceremony and reception locations

Pricing

Current published wedding prices are $900 for three hours with one photographer, $1,700 for six hours with two photographers, $2,200 for eight hours with two photographers and $3,200 for twelve hours with two photographers. The official page displays dollar signs but does not expressly state the currency or whether taxes are included.

The site says custom packages can be developed around a couple’s timeline and budget. It also advertises early-booking, off-season and seasonal rates, without publishing the amount or eligibility rules for those reductions. Couples should therefore treat the displayed figures as the starting point for a dated written proposal and confirm every inclusion before paying a booking fee.

• Standard: 3 hours, 1 photographer, $900
• Classic: 6 hours, 2 photographers, $1,700
• Deluxe: 8 hours, 2 photographers, $2,200
• Premium: 12 hours, 2 photographers, $3,200

Contact and booking

Couples can contact Don Epp Photography through the official website, by email at don@doneppphotography.com or by phone at 778-999-2243. The business lists 2818 Hialeah Court in Coquitlam as its contact address. The website invites couples to book a consultation and check whether their wedding date is available.

The FAQ says a signed contract and retainer are required to reserve a date. It also refers to a 50% booking fee during the busy May-to-September period, with the remaining balance payable on or before the wedding date. Because the site uses both “retainer” and “booking fee,” couples should obtain the exact payment schedule, cancellation conditions and rescheduling terms in writing.

What couples should confirm

Before booking, ask for a proposal tied to the wedding date, venue locations and required hours. Confirm who will photograph the wedding, whether two-photographer coverage applies for the entire booked period, and how the schedule accommodates simultaneous preparations or multiple locations.

Couples should also review at least one complete wedding gallery, not only selected portfolio images, and confirm the expected number and format of delivered files. The contract should address usage and printing rights, gallery availability, backups, weather or emergency arrangements, overtime, travel, parking, permits, taxes, album specifications and the exact delivery schedule.

• Date availability and the names or roles of both photographers
• Exact engagement-session or album inclusion
• Currency, taxes, travel, parking, permits and overtime
• File usage rights, gallery duration and backup process
• Cancellation, postponement and emergency coverage terms
