Philip Zave Photography

Last reviewed: August 11, 2026. Business status: Active.

Last reviewed: August 11, 2026. Philip Zave Photography is an active photography business with a current official website that identifies Philip as the photographer and presents a “Precious Events” service page for weddings and other occasions. For couples searching for a Toronto wedding photographer, the verified information is focused on event photography rather than a dedicated, package-by-package wedding collection.

The official page names weddings among the events photographed and says Philip works around Toronto and the GTA, with the option to work in another location chosen by the client. It also provides a direct email address and telephone number. No street address is published on the confirmed official pages reviewed for this profile, so no address is displayed here.

Services and specialization

Philip Zave Photography’s confirmed wedding-related service is event photography. The official event page explicitly lists weddings alongside bar mitzvahs, extended-family gatherings and newborn celebrations. That broader event focus is important context: the site does not present a separate wedding-only service menu or define distinct ceremony, reception, cultural-wedding or destination-wedding packages.

For event packages, the business states that a pre-event consultation and high-resolution digital images are included. The site also says a second photographer can be included for an additional fee based on the day and time. Albums and framed prints are mentioned as available on request. Couples looking for a particular photographic style, editing approach or deliverable format should ask for current wedding examples and written details rather than relying on the older directory description.

• Confirmed wedding context: weddings are listed within event photography.
• Documented package elements: pre-event consultation and high-resolution digital images.
• Possible add-on: a second photographer, priced according to the day and time.
• Print products: albums and framed prints have rates available on request.

Service area and who it may suit

The official page refers to Toronto and the GTA and says the photographer can work in any location selected by the client. This supports a Toronto-area profile while leaving travel distance, travel costs and destination availability to be confirmed directly for each event.

This listing may suit couples seeking an event photographer for a wedding in Toronto or the wider GTA, especially where a pre-event conversation and location discussion are useful. The site says Philip can recommend places around Toronto and the GTA for a shoot; it does not state whether that applies to every wedding booking, so couples should ask how location planning fits their event timeline.

• Toronto and GTA are explicitly named on the official event page.
• Other locations may be possible, subject to direct confirmation.
• No official service-radius, travel-fee or destination policy was found.

Confirmed strengths and practical limitations

A documented feature is the stated pre-event consultation, which gives couples a defined opportunity to discuss the occasion before photography takes place. The official page also identifies a stated turnaround of one month for high-resolution digital images. These are operational details supplied by the business, not a guarantee of availability or a substitute for a written agreement.

The practical limitation is that the public information is brief for weddings. The official site does not publish a wedding-specific coverage range, a complete list of final deliverables, an image count, a backup photographer policy, insurance information or contract terms. That does not indicate a problem; it means those details need to be confirmed before booking.

• Documented turnaround: one month for high-resolution digital images.
• Documented planning feature: pre-event consultation.
• Practical limitation: wedding-specific scope and contractual details are not publicly detailed.

Pricing

Current pricing is partially published. The official event page states that event photography, including weddings, starts at $400 per hour. Because the page groups weddings with other event types, the published figure should be treated as a starting point rather than a quoted total for a wedding day.

The site states that the fee for a second photographer depends on the day and time. Rates for albums and framed prints are available upon request. It does not publish a wedding-day minimum, a standard number of coverage hours, taxes, travel charges, deposit requirements or cancellation terms. Request a written quote that identifies what is included for the chosen date and venue.

• Published starting rate: $400 per hour for event photography, including weddings.
• Second-photographer pricing is not published as a fixed amount.
• Album and framed-print rates are available upon request.

Contact and booking

The confirmed official event page directs enquiries to philipzavephotography@gmail.com and lists 647-381-7415 for text or calls. These details match the current official website and are the appropriate routes for asking about a wedding date, event plan and tailored quote.

When reaching out, share the wedding date, venue or venues, anticipated photography hours, ceremony timing, approximate guest count and any request for a second photographer or printed products. The site’s public contact route supports an active listing, but availability for a specific date is not independently confirmed by this profile.

• Email: philipzavephotography@gmail.com
• Phone: 647-381-7415
• Street address: not published on the confirmed official pages reviewed.

What couples should confirm

Before paying a deposit, ask whether the date is available and request a written agreement identifying the photographer, coverage start and end times, total fee, taxes, payment schedule and cancellation or postponement terms. Confirm the exact number and delivery method of the high-resolution images, whether the stated one-month turnaround applies to the wedding booking, and what happens if weather, venue timing or an emergency changes the schedule.

If a second photographer is important, ask whether one is available for the date, how the additional fee is calculated and what role that person will have. Couples interested in albums or framed prints should request current options, prices, production timelines and any delivery charges. Finally, ask for wedding work that is relevant to the size, setting and type of celebration being planned.

• Confirm date availability and the complete written scope.
• Confirm coverage hours, image delivery and the applicable turnaround.
• Confirm fees for travel, a second photographer, albums and framed prints.
• Confirm contract, payment, cancellation and contingency terms.
