How much does real estate photography cost in Ontario?

What real estate photography costs in Ontario: our package and single prices, and what changes the total for a listing in Stratford or Huron County.

The real estate photography cost for an Ontario listing comes down to what you book: photos on their own, or photos with drone, video and a 3D tour. With us, single services start at $150 and packages run from $350 to $550 for a typical home. Below is what each option includes and what moves the total, so you can budget before your next listing in Stratford or Huron County.

Our real estate photography prices in Ontario

Most agents book one of three packages. Each one is built around a different way of marketing a listing, and you can see them side by side on our real estate photography page.

  • Basic, from $350: HDR photography, an iGuide 3D virtual tour and a 2D floor plan.
  • Video, from $450: HDR photography, drone photos and video, a social media reel and a 2D floor plan.
  • Full Featured, from $550: HDR photography, drone photos and video, a social media reel, an iGuide 3D virtual tour and a 2D floor plan.

If you only need one piece, you can book it on its own:

  • HDR photography from $150
  • Drone photos and video, $225
  • iGuide 3D virtual tour from $175

These are starting prices. You pick your services and a time in our online portal, and it shows your exact total before you confirm, so you know the number before anything is booked.

What changes the cost of a listing shoot

A few things decide where your total lands.

  • The services you choose. This is the biggest factor. Photos alone cost less than photos with a drone, a reel and a 3D tour, because each one is a separate piece of work on the day and in the edit.
  • The property. Our prices are starting points for a typical home. A larger or more involved property can come in above the starting price, and the portal shows that before you confirm.
  • Extras. Virtual staging, virtual twilight, exterior-only shoots and cinematic video tours are available too. Their prices are listed in our online portal, so you can add them and see the change straight away.

What doesn’t change the price is the care that goes into the photos. Every image is bracketed HDR, edited by hand so windows hold their view and colours stay true, and sized for MLS, print and social, whichever option you book.

Package or single services: which makes sense?

The cheapest option isn’t always the best value. The right choice depends on where the listing will be seen and what a buyer needs to understand about the home.

  • Basic suits homes where the layout does the selling. The iGuide tour and measured floor plan let buyers walk through from anywhere and arrive at a showing already knowing how the rooms connect.
  • Video suits listings you plan to push on social media. The reel is shot and edited in 9:16, so it plays full-screen on Instagram, Facebook, TikTok and Marketplace, and the drone footage shows the setting.
  • Full Featured is for listings where you want every tool: photos, aerials, a reel and a 3D tour, all delivered together.
  • Single services make sense when you only need one thing, such as photos for a straightforward listing, or a drone visit added to a property that already has its interior photos.

Whatever you choose, it’s one booking and one delivery portal, so everything for the listing arrives in the same place.

Stratford homes and Huron County properties

Where a property sits often decides which services earn their cost. A home on a Stratford street is mostly about the inside: the light in the kitchen, the flow from room to room, the size of the bedrooms. Good interior photos and an iGuide floor plan carry most of the weight there.

Out in Huron County, a farm, an acreage or a lot near the Lake Huron shore sells on what surrounds it as much as the house itself. Drone stills and footage show the lot lines, the outbuildings, the trees and the water, and how close town really is. For those listings, a package that includes aerials is usually worth the difference, because a ground-level photo can’t show what a buyer is really paying for.

We’re based in Atwood, between the two, and we shoot listings right across Perth, Huron and Bruce counties.

How to get the most from your photography budget

A few simple habits make every dollar go further:

  • Match the booking to the marketing plan. If the listing won’t go on social media, you may not need the reel. If it’s a rural property, don’t skip the drone.
  • Get the home ready first. A tidy, well-lit home photographs better than any edit can fix. Our guide on how to get your home ready for listing photos is a good checklist to send your sellers.
  • Book everything in one visit. Adding a drone or a 3D tour while we’re already on site is simpler than arranging a second trip later.
  • Use extras where they help. Virtual staging can furnish an empty room, and virtual twilight can turn a daytime exterior into a dusk shot without a separate evening visit.
