Badger Photography is a Montreal wedding photographer studio led by Ara Hagopian. Its official site presents wedding work alongside portrait and fashion photography, with galleries that include full-day wedding albums. The studio describes its visual approach as a blend of fashion, timeless elegance and storytelling, expressed in a colourful, dramatic and painterly style.

For couples researching a photographer in Montréal, this profile separates what the studio currently publishes from the details that still need a direct conversation. The company’s own site confirms its Montreal base, Ara Hagopian’s artistic direction and a published starting price for comprehensive full-day wedding packages. Last reviewed: August 9, 2026.

Services and specialization

Badger Photography describes itself as a Montreal-based wedding, portrait and fashion photography studio. Wedding photography is clearly part of its current offering: the official site places Weddings in its main navigation and includes a selection of full-day wedding albums. The studio is directed by Ara Hagopian, whom the site identifies as a WPPI Master Photographer.

The published creative description is specific enough to help couples assess fit. Badger Photography characterizes its work as combining fashion, timeless elegance and storytelling in a colourful, dramatic and painterly signature style. This points to an art-directed visual approach rather than a promise that every image will follow one fixed format. Reviewing complete wedding galleries and discussing the desired balance of portraits, candid moments and editorial-looking images are sensible next steps.

Service area and who it may suit

The official site identifies Badger Photography as Montreal-based and refers to its gallery at Château Saint-Ambroise, close to downtown Montreal. It does not publish a defined geographic service radius, travel policy or list of wedding destinations in the material reviewed. Couples planning in Montréal or the surrounding area can use the consultation to ask whether the date and venue fall within the studio’s service plans.

This studio may suit couples whose priorities include a fashion-informed, colourful and dramatic visual language, as described by the business itself. It may also be relevant for couples who want to discuss a custom package and a designed wedding book. Those seeking a strictly documentary, minimalist or otherwise very specific approach should share reference galleries and ask to see comparable full-day work before booking.

Confirmed strengths and practical limitations

A documented feature is the studio’s focused leadership: Ara Hagopian leads Badger Photography, and the official site calls out a distinctive artistic direction rather than presenting an anonymous roster. The business also publishes full-day wedding galleries, which gives couples material to review for consistency across a wedding day. Its About page says packages can be tailored to a couple’s taste, style and needs, and identifies wedding books as a notable part of the offering.

The practical limitation is the amount of operational detail published online. The reviewed official pages do not set out current coverage hours, number of photographers, turnaround times, image counts, delivery method, travel charges, tax treatment or cancellation terms. None should be assumed from the portfolio or from legacy directory information.

Pricing

Badger Photography publishes one clear price point: comprehensive full-day wedding packages start at $9,000. The page does not state the currency, tax treatment, date of the price, included hours, number of photographers, albums, digital files or other inclusions. Couples should therefore treat this as a published starting point, not as a complete quote.

Ask for a written proposal tied to the wedding date, venue and planned coverage. It should clarify what the starting package includes, whether any travel or venue-related costs apply, what is optional, and the total before committing.

Contact and booking

The confirmed contact route is the Contact page on Badger Photography’s official website. The official About page invites couples to book a free consultation at the gallery to discuss wedding plans and the studio’s work. Use that route to request availability and a quote.

No clean postal address or telephone number was published on the official pages reviewed for this profile, so neither is reproduced here. The legacy listing’s contact details remain unverified and should not be relied on for booking.

What couples should confirm

Before reserving Badger Photography, ask whether Ara Hagopian will photograph the event personally and who else, if anyone, will attend. Request full galleries that reflect the scale, lighting and schedule of your wedding, especially if you are weighing a portrait-led or fashion-influenced approach against candid coverage.

Confirm the proposed coverage window, number of events or days covered, preparation and reception coverage, image selection and delivery process, editing scope, and timing for receiving images or a wedding book. Also ask how the contract handles retainers, rescheduling, cancellation, overtime, travel, taxes and venue restrictions. These are practical decisions, not shortcomings; the reviewed official pages simply do not publish them.

Finally, ask for the current all-in price. The site’s $9,000 starting figure is useful context, but the official page does not provide enough package detail to calculate a final wedding-photography budget.
