Chalet Studio Photography & Gardens is a Windsor wedding photographer based in Amherstburg, Ontario. Its official website presents wedding photography as a central service and says married photography team Janet and Alan work together to document celebrations. Couples can arrange photography at another wedding location or incorporate the business’s private studio and gardens into part of the day.

The property is also presented as a setting for intimate ceremonies. The operator describes indoor and outdoor options for ceremonies with up to 25 guests, along with landscaped grounds and an indoor weather alternative. Those are distinct possibilities that couples should discuss separately: hiring the photography team does not, based on the supplied evidence, establish that venue use or a ceremony package is automatically included. This profile was last reviewed on August 29, 2026.

Services and specialization

The official site documents wedding photography by Janet and Alan and says they photograph ceremonies, receptions, portraits and the emotions and interactions throughout a wedding day. It also states that the team can work at different locations, so the service is not limited to photographs taken at the Amherstburg property.

For couples who want portraits at Chalet Studio, the site describes natural and landscaped settings that include lawns, pathways, a waterfall, a pond, covered verandas, architectural gates, a farmhouse-style setting and vintage vehicles. A large indoor studio is available when outdoor conditions are unsuitable. These are documented setting options, not a guarantee that every feature will be included in every booking.

Wedding-day photography at the couple’s chosen location or venue
Optional use of the private studio and gardens for part of the wedding day
Indoor studio and covered areas for weather flexibility
Post-processing handled by the business, according to the operator
Indoor or outdoor intimate-ceremony options for up to 25 guests

Service area and who it may suit

The business is located in Amherstburg and consistently describes its wedding work in relation to Windsor and Essex County. The official pages do not provide a precise travel radius, a list of included communities or travel-fee terms. Couples planning elsewhere in Southwestern Ontario should therefore ask whether the team serves their venue and whether mileage, accommodation or other travel charges would apply.

The offering may suit couples who want two photographers working as a team, subject to confirmation in the chosen package. It may also be relevant to couples who value access to both garden and indoor portrait settings, or who are considering a small ceremony at the same property. The stated ceremony limit of up to 25 guests makes that option specific to an intimate gathering rather than a large reception.

Couples marrying in Windsor, Amherstburg or elsewhere in Essex County
Couples interested in garden portraits with an indoor alternative
Small ceremonies of no more than the operator’s stated 25-guest limit
Couples seeking photography at another venue while considering a Chalet portrait stop

Confirmed strengths and practical limitations

A documented feature is the combination of a purpose-used photography property and the ability to work on location. The official site also says Janet and Alan have photographed more than 1,500 Windsor-area weddings. That figure is an operator statement and has not been independently audited by Canada Wedding Guide.

Weather flexibility is another documented practical feature: the site identifies a large indoor studio, covered porches and indoor ceremony options. However, the supplied pages do not establish which spaces are reserved privately, how long couples may use them, whether all photographed features are available year-round, or what accessibility arrangements are offered. Couples should confirm those details rather than infer them from portfolio imagery or general descriptions.

Intimate ceremonies at the gardens

Chalet Studio’s website describes a private, forested garden setting for intimate wedding ceremonies, with lawns, pathways, a gazebo, blooms and a waterfall. It says ceremonies can be held outdoors or indoors and may include up to 25 guests. The homepage also refers to a four-hour garden wedding package that includes photography.

The evidence does not provide a complete list of ceremony-package inclusions. It does not confirm officiant services, legal paperwork, catering, seating, décor, alcohol service, music, washroom arrangements or reception facilities. Couples should request the current package document and clarify exactly which parts of the ceremony and photography are supplied by Chalet Studio and which require separate vendors.

Indoor and garden ceremony settings are described
A four-hour garden wedding package with photography is referenced
Legal, hospitality and vendor inclusions are not detailed in the supplied pages

Pricing

Current prices are not published. Although the official website provides pricing links and refers to an affordable four-hour garden wedding package, the supplied official pages contain no current dollar amounts and no complete package comparison. “Affordable” is the operator’s description and does not establish a price range.

Couples should obtain a written quotation that separates photography coverage from any studio, garden or ceremony use. The quote should specify coverage hours, the number of photographers, image delivery, editing, print or album products, taxes, deposits, payment dates, cancellation or postponement terms, travel charges and overtime. For an intimate ceremony, ask for a separate list of venue inclusions and optional additions.

Confirm whether Janet and Alan are both included for the full booking
Ask whether garden or studio access carries a separate fee

Contact and booking

The official website lists Chalet Studio Photography & Gardens at 7540 Howard, Amherstburg, Ontario, N0R 1J0. It invites couples to call or text 519-726-6666 and offers a contact form. The site also invites prospective clients to arrange a studio and garden tour.

Before treating a date as secured, couples should request a written agreement identifying the event date, locations, coverage period, assigned photographers and all deliverables. A tour can help couples assess the spaces in person, but availability for a tour or wedding date is not established by the website and must be confirmed directly.

What couples should confirm

Ask whether the proposed booking is photography only, photography with a studio-and-garden portrait session, or an intimate ceremony package. These options may involve different schedules, access conditions and fees. Couples should also confirm the contingency plan for rain, extreme temperatures or other conditions that affect garden use.

For photography, clarify the delivery format, expected turnaround, download or gallery access, printing rights, backup practices and whether albums or prints cost extra. For ceremonies, confirm the firm guest limit and identify responsibility for the officiant, marriage licence, seating, décor, refreshments, music, cleanup and insurance. Any accessibility, parking or mobility requirements should be discussed before signing.
