Last reviewed: August 14, 2026. Cast & Crewe Photography / Film is the wedding photography and film business of Lori-Anne Crewe, who identifies herself on the official site as owner and lead photographer. The business presents an authentic, documentary-led approach to wedding-day coverage.

For couples looking for an Ayr documentary wedding photographer, Cast & Crewe publishes photography collections, highlight-film options and a direct enquiry route. The business says it is based in Southern Ontario and will travel worldwide; it does not publish a street address, so meeting arrangements and travel costs should be confirmed before booking.

Services and specialization

Cast & Crewe Photography / Film offers wedding photography and wedding highlight films. The official site describes its photography approach as documentary-style: the focus is on recording the small and large moments of a wedding day with little direction, while still allowing for family and couple portraits.

Published photography options include full-day, half-day, hourly and micro/elopement coverage. The full- and half-day photography packages list two photographers, an online gallery, edited high-resolution colour and black-and-white images, a video/slideshow and a USB memory stick. Engagement and boudoir sessions are listed as optional additions.

For film, the business publishes highlight-film packages and a micro/elopement film. The listed inclusions are one videographer, a consultation, an edited film, a simple ceremony edit, a USB memory stick and drone footage where permitted. A second videographer and reception-speech video are available options.

Service area and who it may suit

The contact page says Cast & Crewe is located in Southern Ontario, Canada, and will travel worldwide. The official homepage places Lori-Anne Crewe in a small town between Cambridge, Kitchener and Brantford. No official street address is displayed, so the address field is intentionally left blank.

This may suit couples who prefer candid documentation over heavily directed coverage and who want the option to combine still photography with a short wedding film. The published range of hourly, half-day, full-day and micro/elopement choices also makes it worth asking about coverage that matches a smaller celebration or a longer wedding day.

Confirmed strengths and practical limitations

A documented strength is the business’s published, clearly differentiated service structure: wedding photography, highlight films, micro/elopement options and optional engagement or boudoir sessions are all shown on the official site. Photography packages list two photographers for full- and half-day coverage, while film pricing describes one videographer with an optional second videographer.

The official site also states that photos are delivered within eight weeks of the wedding date, that the business is insured, and that a consultation is used to discuss key film moments. Its homepage states that Lori-Anne Crewe was a 2021 WPJA Top 10 in Canada and Top 150 International award-winning member; this is reported as the business’s own published claim, not an independent CWG rating.

A practical limitation is that a physical address, current availability calendar and travel-fee schedule are not published. Couples should confirm those details in writing for their date and venue.

Pricing

Current pricing is explicitly published on the official website. Wedding photography is listed at $2,600 for 10 continuous hours, $1,600 for six continuous hours and $275 per hour with a two-hour minimum. A micro/elopement photography option is listed at $2,150. Engagement or boudoir sessions are listed at $300, and additional keepsake USB drives at $35.

Wedding-film pricing is listed at $1,800 for a four- to five-minute highlight film with eight to 10 hours of coverage; $1,400 for a three- to four-minute highlight film with up to six hours; and $1,300 for a two- to three-minute micro/elopement film. Listed options include a second videographer for $500, reception-speech video for $500 and an additional USB drive for $35. The pages do not state whether taxes or travel costs are included, so confirm the final total and all terms in a written quote.

Contact and booking

The confirmed official website is castandcrewe.com. Its contact page provides a form and the telephone number 519-222-4183, and says replies are usually made within a few hours while noting that response timing may vary.

The FAQ says a non-refundable 20% retainer is required after the wedding contract is signed to hold a date. It also says instalment payments by e-transfer are accepted and that fees are due on or before the wedding date. Availability is not independently confirmed by this profile, so contact the business directly before making plans around a date.

What couples should confirm

Ask whether the published collection and price still apply to your wedding date, whether tax is additional, and whether travel, parking, accommodation, overtime or venue-specific costs apply. Confirm the exact number of photographers or videographers assigned, including whether a second videographer is needed for your ceremony setup.

For deliverables, confirm the film length, whether ceremony and reception-speech edits are included, the online-gallery access period, USB contents, delivery date and any usage or sharing permissions. If drone footage matters to you, ask whether the venue and conditions allow it. Review the contract’s retainer, rescheduling, cancellation and substitute-photographer provisions before payment.

Documentary approach and portraits

The photography FAQ describes documentary coverage as an authentic, low-direction approach intended to let couples enjoy the day with minimal interference. It also says formal family portraits and creative couple portraits can be included alongside that primary focus.

The same FAQ gives typical planning ranges of about 20 to 30 minutes for family portraits and 15 to 45 minutes for couple portraits, depending on the requested photos and locations. These are planning guidelines rather than promises; use a consultation to agree on the timeline and portrait priorities for your wedding.

Film coverage and delivery details

The FAQ describes a highlight film as a creative four- to five-minute montage that may use vows or speech audio and music. It says the full highlight-film package covers the day from getting ready through first dances, while the micro/elopement film generally covers requested preparations, the ceremony and events immediately after it.

Both published film packages include a separate ceremony video according to the FAQ. The business says one free film edit is included if requested within 30 days of delivery, and it uses royalty-free music rather than popular songs. Confirm the filming schedule, edit request process and music preferences during consultation.
