Macpherson Images is the wedding-photography business of Alastair Macpherson, a Belleville wedding photographer with a stated documentary approach. The official site describes coverage that centres on real moments alongside clean, natural portraits, rather than a heavily staged or effects-led presentation.

The business is based in Belleville and lists wedding work across Prince Edward County, Kingston, Port Hope and the GTA. Its official site publishes 2026 package details, a direct email contact route, and instructions for couples enquiring about a date and venue. Last reviewed: August 10, 2026.

Business identity and verification

Macpherson Images’ official website identifies the business as “Macpherson Images Photography by Alastair Macpherson.” The same site provides wedding galleries, a current 2026 pricing page, and an active contact route, supporting an Active status for this profile.

The previous Port Hope listing should not be treated as the current business location. The official site now states that Alastair is based in Belleville, Ontario. No clean postal address is published on the official pages reviewed, so no address is displayed here.

Verified business name: Macpherson Images.
Named photographer: Alastair Macpherson.
Current base stated on the official site: Belleville, Ontario.

Services and specialization

The published wedding offering includes full wedding-day photography, micro weddings, elopements and engagement sessions. The wedding gallery describes a documentary approach, with relaxed portrait direction when needed; the business also characterizes its work as natural and influenced by documentary-style photojournalism.

For the standard published package, Macpherson Images lists professionally edited, high-resolution photographs without watermarks, a private online gallery for one year, and a final gallery of 650–850 individually edited images. The site says images may be printed and shared freely.

Shorter coverage is described as available on a tailored basis. Specific short-coverage configurations and pricing are not published on the reviewed official pages.

Service area and who it may suit

The official service area covers Prince Edward County and Eastern Ontario, including Belleville, Kingston and Port Hope. The site also says Macpherson Images takes a limited number of GTA weddings. Within Prince Edward County, it specifically names Picton, Wellington, Bloomfield and Milford.

This may suit couples looking for one photographer whose published work combines candid day-of coverage with efficient, guided portraits. It is also relevant for couples planning a Prince Edward County destination wedding from Toronto, Ottawa or Kingston, as the business says it can help with photo timing and travel logistics.

The website’s stated service area is not a guarantee of availability or included travel for every booking. Couples outside the published 300 km total travel allowance should request written confirmation of travel arrangements and costs.

Confirmed strengths and practical limitations

A documented feature is the clear, itemized 2026 wedding package: consecutive coverage time, a stated travel allowance, edited high-resolution files, personal print-and-share permission, a one-year private gallery, and an expected edited-image range are all published. That level of package detail gives couples a useful starting point for comparing scope.

Another documented feature is the mix of documentary coverage and portrait guidance. The official gallery explains that portraits are kept straightforward and efficient while the day’s events are photographed as they unfold. The business also says it photographs full days, micro weddings and elopements.

Practical limitations are mainly evidence gaps rather than negatives: no official postal address is published; rates for micro weddings, elopements and other shorter options are not posted; and the official pages reviewed do not state whether albums, a second photographer, raw files, insurance, delivery timing, or travel charges beyond the included distance form part of a particular booking.

Strength: a detailed public 2026 base package.
Strength: documented documentary coverage with portrait guidance.
Confirm: exact package scope for shorter events and travel outside the stated allowance.
Confirm: any deliverables or services not expressly listed in the written agreement.

Contact and booking

The official contact route is mail@macphersonimages.com. The official about page also lists 416-529-9244. The contact page asks couples to include their wedding date, venue or location, guest count and general timeline, plus the intended coverage type.

The site says replies are normally sent within one to two business days and suggests checking spam or following up if no reply is received. Availability is not displayed publicly, so a direct enquiry remains necessary before making plans or sending a retainer.

When contacting the business, use the current Belleville and regional service information rather than relying on older directory address details.

Email: mail@macphersonimages.com.
Phone: 416-529-9244.
Include the date, venue, guest count, timeline and desired coverage type.
Ask for written confirmation of availability before booking.

What couples should confirm

Ask whether the published $2,800 package fits the planned timeline, and whether the 300 km total travel allowance applies to the venue and any portrait locations. If considering a micro wedding, elopement or partial-day event, request the written coverage options, price, travel treatment and expected image range.

Review the contract before paying the retainer. It should confirm the photographer assigned to the date, start and end times, inclusions, taxes, payment schedule, cancellation or postponement terms, travel fees, gallery access period, image-use permissions and delivery expectations.

If particular deliverables matter, ask directly about albums, a second photographer, raw files, backup plans, liability insurance, accessibility at locations, and rain or weather contingencies. Those details were not fully published on the official pages reviewed and should not be assumed.
