KVD Photography is Vancouver wedding photographer Kaylyn van Driesum’s official business. Kaylyn photographs weddings, elopements and couples, with wedding and lifestyle photography also described on her website.

The former Canada Wedding Guide title, Kaylyn van Driesum Photography, corresponds with the current KVD Photography identity: the official about page states that “KVD” stands for Kaylyn van Driesum. Her site says she now calls Vancouver home and photographs weddings across Canada and beyond.

Services and specialization

KVD Photography offers wedding, elopement and couples photography. The official site also describes Kaylyn as a wedding and lifestyle photographer. For weddings, the published information page lists six-, eight- and ten-hour coverage options, with the ability to modify coverage and add time, a second shooter or day-before coverage.

The business describes its approach as combining documentary honesty with editorial refinement. Its information page further explains that the work includes gentle guidance for portraits while leaving room for candid moments. These are useful indicators of the photographer’s stated working style, rather than a guarantee of a particular result for every event.

Service area and who it may suit

KVD Photography is based in Vancouver, British Columbia. The official about page says Kaylyn photographs weddings across Canada and beyond, while the travel FAQ confirms that travel is available for shoots and weddings.

This may suit couples planning a Vancouver wedding, an event elsewhere in British Columbia or a destination celebration who want to discuss travel as part of the proposal. The site does not publish a fixed travel radius. For events outside Vancouver, couples should request a written quote that identifies transportation and accommodation costs.

Confirmed strengths and practical limitations

A documented feature is the range of published coverage formats: six, eight and ten hours for weddings, plus shorter elopement coverage. The official FAQ also says a second photographer can be added when needed, particularly for tight schedules, larger guest lists or additional guest coverage.

The website publishes a private online gallery, an online store and sneak-peek photos within a week for its listed wedding packages. It also sets an expectation of edited-image delivery rather than RAW-file delivery. These details help couples compare practical workflow, not assess availability.

A practical limitation is that no public postal address or phone number is displayed on the official pages reviewed. Availability, the exact assigned photographer arrangement, travel charges and final package inclusions therefore need to be confirmed during an inquiry.

Pricing

Current pricing is explicitly published. The wedding-packages page lists six hours of coverage at $5,400, eight hours at $6,200 and ten hours at $7,000. A package described as including ten hours, a second shooter, and either an engagement shoot or day-before coverage is listed at $10,500.

The same page lists an engagement shoot at $750 for couples who book a wedding, and additional coverage at $175 per hour with a four-hour minimum. The information page separately presents weddings as starting at $5,400, elopements as starting at $2,200 and portraits as starting at $750.

Published package information should be treated as a starting point for conversation. Confirm whether applicable taxes, travel, accommodation, extra coverage, second-shooter costs and any product purchases are included in the final written proposal.

Contact and booking

KVD Photography’s official website provides an inquiry route. Its booking outline says the process begins after a couple has reached out, then moves to a phone call or video chat to discuss the event, package options and questions.

The page says a booking becomes official after the contract is signed and the retainer is submitted. Couples should use the official website’s inquiry option rather than relying on old directory contact details. No verified public phone number or postal address was found for this review.

Delivery and planning details

For the wedding packages shown, KVD Photography lists sneak-peek photos within a week, a private online gallery for sharing and an online store. The travel FAQ says couples can generally expect about 75 edited photos per hour photographed, with 100 or more edited images for engagement or couples sessions; actual totals can vary with the event.

The published delivery windows need clarification. One part of the packages page says a 10–12-week full-gallery turnaround, while a later section says 12–16 weeks; the travel FAQ says 8–12 weeks for elopements and weddings. Ask which turnaround applies to the selected collection and date.

What couples should confirm

Before signing, confirm the selected coverage length, who will attend the event, the full cost and payment schedule, and travel requirements. This is especially important for celebrations outside Vancouver because travel costs are described as variable.

Couples should also ask for the specific delivery date or timeframe that will be written into the agreement. Request confirmation of the gallery, download, print-store and image-count arrangements that apply to the chosen package.
