Last reviewed: August 10, 2026. Chantal Davidson Photography is an active Niagara wedding photographer business with a current official website, a contact route and a published booking process. The official site identifies Chantal Davidson Photography as a Niagara wedding and elopement photographer and lists weddings, elopements and couple-focused work.

This profile updates the older Waterloo listing using current first-party information. The business’s official footer lists a Virgil, Ontario street address and a current telephone number; however, it does not publish a postal code. To keep the directory address field to one complete, official postal address, it is left blank rather than completed from another source.

Current verification

The confirmed official domain is chantaldavidsonphotography.com. Its homepage uses the full business name, identifies the service as Niagara wedding and elopement photography, provides a contact path and describes how a date is reserved. Those first-party details support the Active status on the review date.

The current telephone number displayed on the official site is 226-748-4096. The older Facebook URL, Waterloo address and 416 number supplied with the legacy record were not used as proof of current contact details or location.

Services and specialization

The official site presents wedding photography, elopement photography and portrait sessions. Portrait work is described as including engagements, anniversaries, maternity, in-home and adventure sessions. For weddings and elopements, the published material describes coverage ranging from half-day to multiple days, with packages that can be customized.

The documented photographic approach centres on natural candid moments, details and landscapes, with direction and prompts when needed. Chantal also states that black-and-white film and Polaroids can be added to any package or session. These are documented service features, not a claim about availability for every date or event.

Service area and who it may suit

The official homepage positions the business in Niagara and says Chantal has lived most of her life in the Niagara Region. The site’s street listing is in Virgil, Ontario. Couples planning a Niagara wedding or elopement who want imagery that includes candid moments, details and the surrounding landscape may find the published approach relevant.

The official material also shows wedding examples and planning resources, but it does not publish a complete travel area, travel-fee policy or a list of locations currently accepted. Couples outside Niagara, or those planning a destination event, should ask directly whether their venue and date can be accommodated.

Confirmed strengths and practical limitations

Confirmed features include a published consultation-and-booking sequence, customizable coverage, an online delivery gallery with printing rights, and planning resources. The pricing page also says wedding clients receive sneak peeks within a week and that the business can help create a custom wedding timeline and a portrait-location list.

A practical limitation is that the published starting prices do not define a standard number of hours, a complete itemized package or travel costs. The official footer gives a street and municipality but no postal code, so a complete postal address cannot be verified from the official source. Availability, exact coverage, taxes, travel and add-ons all require direct confirmation.

Pricing

Current pricing is explicitly published. Wedding photography starts at $3,500, and elopement photography starts at $2,500. The official page says both wedding and elopement coverage can range from half-day to multiple days and can be customized. Portrait sessions start at $350, with coverage starting at one hour.

The published wedding and elopement inclusions mention high-resolution edited images, an online gallery and a print release. Wedding packages also reference a planning guide, timeline help and a customized location list; elopement packages reference an elopement planning guide. Starting prices are not quotes for a particular event, so couples should request the current detailed proposal before comparing total costs.

Contact and booking

The official website directs prospective clients to its contact form and says to allow 48 hours for a response. Its stated process is to send event details, have a phone or video call before contract planning, and then reserve the date.

According to the official booking FAQ, a date is reserved with a signed contract from each person getting married and a non-refundable retainer equal to 30% of the package price. The balance is stated as due 30 days before the wedding, with smaller payments possible. Confirm the current contract wording and payment recipient before sending funds.

What couples should confirm

Ask whether the photographer is available for the exact date and venue, which coverage length fits the schedule, and whether a second photographer is included or available. Confirm the final package scope, taxes, travel or accommodation costs, payment schedule, cancellation and postponement terms, and whether film or Polaroid add-ons are available for the chosen package.

The official site says wedding images are edited and uploaded to an online gallery within 90 days, while session images are uploaded within 45 days. Couples should confirm how that timeline applies to their booking, what constitutes a sneak peek, image-download access, print rights and any requested family-photo or location planning.
