Fern & Fire Photos & Films is a Parksville-based photography and film team serving weddings across Vancouver Island. Couples looking for a Vancouver Island wedding videographer can use this profile to review the company’s published film formats, geographic coverage, current pricing example and booking process.

Ali and Nate identify themselves as the people behind the business. Their official site presents film-only coverage as well as combined photography and videography, with examples from Parksville, Nanaimo, Victoria, Tofino and other locations. This profile was last reviewed on October 8, 2026, using the company’s own website; availability and final contract terms still need to be confirmed directly.

Services and specialization

Fern & Fire publishes options for wedding films, elopement films and engagement films. Its main formats include a music-led Signature Highlight, a chronological Documentary Highlight and a short Social Media Highlight. The Signature Highlight can incorporate voices and vows, while its final length depends on the selected collection and coverage.

The Documentary Highlight is designed to follow the wedding day in order and include full ceremony and speech audio. The Social Media Highlight is described as a 20–40 second addition. The business also states that couples can book photography, film, or both together, with coverage planned around the moments they want documented.

Service area and who it may suit

The official website places Fern & Fire in Parksville and says the team films across Vancouver Island, specifically naming Nanaimo, Comox, Victoria and Tofino. Couples are asked to provide both ceremony and reception locations, including any travel between them, so the proposed coverage can reflect the day’s schedule.

The published options may suit couples deciding between a concise, music-led highlight and a longer chronological record with ceremony and speech audio. Combined coverage may also be relevant to couples who prefer to coordinate photography and film through the same two-person business.

Confirmed strengths and practical limitations

Documented production features include a professional three-camera setup, dedicated audio recorders and backup equipment for key gear. These are confirmed features published by the operator rather than an independent assessment of image quality or reliability. Portfolio examples on the videography page let couples compare several film lengths, locations and formats before making an enquiry.

Fern & Fire also states that Ali and Nate work directly with booked couples and provide gentle direction for people who feel camera-shy. Practical limitations are that the supplied pages do not publish a complete videography package list, a guaranteed turnaround time, a street address or a telephone number. The portfolio demonstrates style, but couples should ask to see examples closest to their planned venue, schedule and preferred film format.

Pricing

The official videography page gives a current example of CA$4,200 before GST for eight hours of film-only coverage with one main highlight. This is an example rather than a universal package price. The business says that adding a second main highlight, a social film or an engagement session changes the total.

Quotes depend on coverage hours and the films selected. Couples are invited to share their plans to receive an itemized quote. Before comparing this figure with another provider, confirm whether each proposal covers the same hours, number and type of finished films, audio treatment, personnel, travel and taxes.

Contact and booking

Booking begins through the company’s contact form or by email at fernandfirephotos@gmail.com. Fern & Fire asks couples to provide their wedding date and location, indicate whether they want film only or photography and film together, and outline the parts of the day they would like covered.

The operator says it will check availability, discuss the options and confirm coverage and booking details. Its contact page says replies are generally sent within 24 hours and advises checking the spam folder, but couples should not treat that estimate as guaranteed. No official phone number or complete postal address appears in the supplied pages.

What couples should confirm

Ask for a written, itemized proposal tied to the actual ceremony and reception schedule. The proposal should identify coverage hours, the selected main film, expected film length, whether voices and vows will be included, and the treatment of ceremony and speech audio. Couples considering a Social Media Highlight or engagement film should confirm whether it is included or priced as an addition.

It is also useful to confirm availability, travel arrangements between locations, GST, payment milestones, cancellation or rescheduling terms, delivery timing and how completed files will be supplied. Because the photography page discusses Vancouver Island travel fees but the supplied videography details do not state the same policy explicitly, ask whether any travel costs apply to the proposed film coverage.
