MacroSnaps in Hamilton
Bridal Showers & Bachelorette Parties in Hamilton: photography & video
A bridal shower or bachelorette party brings together the people closest to the bride, often for the first time before the wedding: mothers, grandmothers, sisters, bridesmaids and old friends. MacroSnaps photographers and videographers cover showers, brunches and bachelorette dinners and nights out, so the bride and the hosts can enjoy the day instead of passing phones around.
Hamilton is one of the biggest cities in Ontario, home to roughly 520,000 people. Whether your bridal shower is at Dundurn National Historic Site, Royal Botanical Gardens or a family home, your MacroSnaps crew arrives early to check light, angles and any venue rules.
At a shower we focus on the guests and the program: the welcome, the games, the gift-opening and the décor the hosts worked hard on. For a bachelorette we keep things fun and relaxed, with group photos while everyone still looks fresh, candid photos at dinner and the first part of the night out. Tell us anything you'd rather keep off camera and we'll respect it.
For a typical bridal shower, clients in Hamilton book about 2 hours of photography ($350) and 2 hours of videography ($500). Photography is $250 for the first hour and $100 for each additional hour; videography is $300 for the first hour and $200 for each additional hour, with a 2-hour minimum. The first-hour price includes travel, so Hamilton costs the same as anywhere else we work, and there are no quotes to wait for.

Planning tips
Planning your coverage in Hamilton
Book 2 to 3 hours
Most showers are well covered in 2 to 3 hours, from arrivals through the gift-opening. For a bachelorette, 2 hours usually covers getting together, group photos and dinner.
Plan the gift-opening spot
Put the bride's chair near a window or in good light with space for guests to gather around. It makes a noticeable difference to the photos.
Check venue rules
Some restaurants and bars limit photography or ask for a certificate of insurance. Let us know the venue in advance so we can sort this out before the day.
Add video for toasts and games
A short highlight video set to music you choose captures the speeches and the energy of the games, and makes a good gift for the bride.
