Megan Maundrell Photography

Last reviewed: August 14, 2026. Business status: Active.

Megan Maundrell Photography is the Victoria-based wedding-photography business behind Wild Candid Collective. For couples looking for a Victoria BC wedding photographer, the current official site presents a documentary, candid-first approach centred on real moments and connection rather than heavily posed coverage.

The studio is founded by Megan Maundrell and works with a broader photography team. Its official materials identify Victoria as its home base, name Vancouver Island and Tofino/Ucluelet among its service areas, and state that destination weddings and elopements are available. No street address or postal code is published on the official pages reviewed, so none is listed here. Last reviewed: 2026-08-14.

Services and specialization

Wild Candid Collective describes itself as a documentary wedding-photography studio founded by Megan Maundrell. Its stated approach is candid-first: recording unscripted moments, genuine emotion and the flow of the day. The studio also says it provides gentle direction, which may suit couples who want guidance for portraits without a fully staged visual style.

Wedding coverage is offered through collections photographed either personally by Megan or by a hand-selected associate photographer. The official Tofino page also lists engagement sessions, second-photographer coverage and expedited gallery delivery as available add-ons. The Basic Collection provides four continuous hours with an associate photographer, an edited full-resolution online gallery, and planning resources and timeline guidance.

• Wedding and elopement photography
• Candid and documentary-led coverage
• Engagement sessions
• Associate-photographer and Megan-photographed collections
• Second-photographer and expedited-delivery add-ons

Service area and who it may suit

The business identifies itself as located in Victoria, BC, and names Southern and Central Vancouver Island, Tofino, Vancouver and destination weddings and elopements worldwide. Its dedicated west-coast page specifically addresses Tofino and Ucluelet, and says travel to those two communities is included in the collections shown there.

This may suit couples planning a Victoria or Vancouver Island celebration who value candid storytelling, as well as couples considering Tofino, Ucluelet or a destination event. Because coverage is delivered by either Megan or a matched associate depending on the collection, couples for whom a particular photographer is essential should discuss that preference during the consultation.

• Southern and Central Vancouver Island
• Tofino and Ucluelet
• Vancouver
• Destination weddings and elopements worldwide

Confirmed strengths and practical limitations

A documented feature of the business is its team structure: Megan remains the main point of contact through inquiry and planning, matches clients with a photographer based on personality, location and budget, and the site says final galleries are edited in-house by Megan and Alexandra. The studio also states that its standard galleries are delivered within five weeks, while the Basic Collection has a twelve-week delivery window.

The practical limitation is that not every collection is photographed by Megan. The Basic Collection does not allow specific photographer requests, does not include a photo slideshow, and is offered selectively according to season, booking timeline and team capacity. The official site does not publish a physical office address, accessibility information, travel terms outside the Tofino/Ucluelet inclusion, or full itemized inclusions for every collection; these are sensible points to confirm before contracting.

• In-house editing with final checks by Megan
• Standard gallery delivery stated as five weeks
• Basic Collection delivery stated as twelve weeks
• Photographer assignment varies by collection

Current pricing is explicitly published on the official Tofino/Ucluelet page. The Basic Collection is listed at $2,850 for four hours with an associate photographer.

Confirm the applicable collection, taxes, destination or other travel costs, add-on availability and the written total for the wedding date.

Contact and booking

The current official site lists 250-886-1209 and directs couples to submit an inquiry through its contact form. It describes the initial step as a complimentary consultation to discuss the couple’s vision and wedding details. The site also states that Megan is the primary point of contact through the inquiry and planning process.

The published reservation process calls for a signed contract and a 30% booking fee once a couple is ready to reserve a date. Availability is not published, and the Basic Collection is described as selectively available. Contact the studio directly to confirm whether the preferred date, location and photographer option can be accommodated.

• Phone: 250-886-1209
• Official website inquiry form
• Complimentary consultation described
• Signed contract and 30% booking fee stated

What couples should confirm

Ask which collection best fits the planned timeline and whether Megan or an associate would photograph the event. For an associate collection, ask how the matching process works and whether a requested photographer can be guaranteed. Couples considering the Basic Collection should specifically note its twelve-week gallery delivery and its lack of a slideshow.

Confirm the final scope in writing: coverage hours, number of photographers, engagement-session details, delivery timeline, image rights and gallery access, travel outside Tofino/Ucluelet, tax, cancellation or postponement terms, and whether expedited delivery is available for the date. The official pages show pricing and core process details but do not publish every contractual term.

• Photographer assignment and availability
• Final package inclusions and coverage hours
• Travel and any additional costs
• Delivery option and turnaround
• Contract, payment, cancellation and postponement terms

Profile update note

The legacy website recorded for this Canada Wedding Guide page now leads to unrelated casino content and must not be used for contact or booking. Current official-domain evidence instead connects Megan Maundrell Photography Inc. with Wild Candid Collective, founded by Megan Maundrell, and with wedding-photography services in Victoria and beyond.

This profile therefore retains the established company title for continuity while identifying the current consumer-facing studio name in the copy. The verified current phone number replaces the legacy number. No official street address was found, so the address field remains blank rather than repeating the unverified legacy address.

• Legacy website excluded because of identity mismatch
• Current official-domain identity verified
• No official postal address published on reviewed pages
