Aly Sibley Photography is a Victoria BC wedding photographer offering wedding and elopement coverage for couples who want candid, emotional and timeless images. The official website describes a photography approach centred on genuine connection, including small smiles, laughter, tears and other natural moments. Aly is based in Victoria and regularly photographs celebrations across Vancouver Island and the Gulf Islands.

This profile was last reviewed on September 26, 2026, using the business's official website. It summarises the services, published package information and planning process that are currently documented there. Couples should confirm dates, final pricing, travel arrangements and package inclusions directly with Aly before booking.

Services and specialization

The official weddings page presents two principal coverage options. Full Wedding Coverage is listed as six to 10 hours and is intended to document a wider portion of the wedding day, from getting ready through the dance floor. Some full-wedding packages include an engagement photoshoot; the page says all include a custom shot list and wedding planning support.

Elopement Coverage is listed as two to four hours for elopements and intimate weddings. This option includes pre-wedding planning support and a custom shot list. The website also shows galleries from weddings including Maple Bay Backyard Wedding, The Fort Common Wedding and Sea Cider Wedding, although a gallery example should not be treated as proof of current availability.

The stated photography style is timeless, with an emphasis on candid moments and natural connection. The planning process includes getting to know each couple, discussing personalities and priorities, and offering guidance on poses, timing, shot lists and preparation.

Full wedding coverage: six to 10 hours.
Elopement coverage: two to four hours.
Custom shot lists and planning support are described for both coverage types.
Engagement photography is included with some full-wedding packages.

Service area and who it may suit

Aly Sibley Photography is based in Victoria, British Columbia. The official website says Aly regularly shoots throughout Vancouver Island and the Gulf Islands and is open to travelling elsewhere in Canada. A travel fee or accommodation may be required depending on the location, so couples planning an event outside Victoria should request a location-specific quote.

The documented services may suit couples planning a full wedding day, an intimate wedding or an elopement who want support before the event as well as photography on the day. The website also says Aly helps with timeline advice, vendor recommendations, wedding planning tips and location suggestions. These are described as planning support rather than as a separate wedding-planning service.

Base: Victoria, BC.
Regular service area: Vancouver Island and the Gulf Islands.
Travel beyond the West Coast may be discussed with the photographer.
Travel fees or accommodation may apply depending on the location.

Confirmed strengths and practical limitations

A documented feature of the service is the pre-wedding communication process. The website says Aly connects with couples before a session, provides advice on timelines and photo priorities, and aims to help clients feel comfortable in front of the camera. Each package is also described as including digital high-resolution files and an online shareable gallery.

The published delivery information is specific: couples receive 20 or more sneak peeks within one week of the wedding day, while the full gallery is delivered within eight weeks. For engagement sessions, the stated delivery time is within two weeks of the shoot date.

There are also limits couples should understand. The site says RAW files are not delivered, and that photographs are selected by Aly as the best images from the shoot. Light editing such as colour balance and cropping is described as standard; extensive retouching or Photoshopping is not included in the packages but may sometimes be available for an additional fee. The evidence does not establish current availability, booking volume, accessibility arrangements or a guaranteed turnaround for every type of event.

Digital high-resolution JPEG files and an online gallery are documented inclusions.
RAW files are not delivered according to the official FAQ.
Extensive edits are not included by default.
Availability and any event-specific requirements should be confirmed directly.

Pricing

The official weddings page publishes starting prices in Canadian dollars before tax. Full Wedding Coverage starts at $4,800 CAD plus tax. Elopement Coverage starts at $2,500 CAD plus tax. These are starting figures, not a complete quote or a guarantee that every date, location or requested inclusion will be priced the same way.

The website also states that a $50 planning fee is required in addition to the session fee for surprise proposals. This is separate from the wedding and elopement starting prices shown above. Couples should ask which package best matches their hours, location and photography priorities, and whether travel, accommodation, engagement photography, additional coverage or editing requests change the total.

Full Wedding Coverage: starting at $4,800 CAD plus tax.
Elopement Coverage: starting at $2,500 CAD plus tax.
Surprise proposals: a $50 planning fee is stated in addition to the session fee.
Confirm the final quote, taxes, travel costs and inclusions before booking.

Contact and booking

The official contact page directs couples to an inquiry form for booking discussions and identifies the business as a portrait and wedding photographer in Victoria, BC. It lists the email address alysibleyphotography@gmail.com and says Aly aims to respond to emails within 48 hours.

The booking process begins with an inquiry and conversation about the celebration, photography goals and coverage needs. Couples can use that conversation to discuss dates, location, guest plans, travel and whether full wedding or elopement coverage is more appropriate. No telephone number or postal address is published in the supplied official evidence, so those fields are intentionally left blank.

What couples should confirm

Before signing an agreement, couples should confirm that the requested date is available and that the selected coverage provides enough time for getting ready, ceremony, portraits, reception and travel between locations. The published six-to-10-hour and two-to-four-hour ranges provide a starting point, but the right amount of coverage depends on the event schedule.

Ask for a written quote that identifies taxes, travel fees, accommodation requirements and all included deliverables. Couples should also confirm whether an engagement session is part of their selected package, how additional hours are priced, and whether special editing requests can be accommodated.

For outdoor celebrations or venues with strict rules, confirm permission, access, weather plans, lighting conditions and any restrictions affecting photography. It is also useful to discuss the desired balance between candid photographs and directed portraits, the shot-list process, gallery delivery, image backup and the contract's cancellation or rescheduling terms. These items are not fully detailed in the supplied evidence and should be addressed directly.

Confirm date availability and the coverage length needed for the schedule.
Request a written total including tax, travel and accommodation where applicable.
Clarify engagement-session inclusion, extra-hour pricing and editing options.
