Last year at my friend’s birthday party, we handed his cousin the task of videotaping the event. Well, about five minutes in, the cake goes up in flames because we put way too many sparkling candles on it.
The result? Well, all we got was a lovely close-up of the cousin’s shoe. This hilarious catastrophe made me realise the importance of having a pro behind the camera, especially for big moments.
So, if you’re looking to avoid a similar fate at your event, check out our list of the top videographers in Ottawa. These pros know how to keep things steady and capture all the magic (minus any shoe close-ups).
How much do event videographers cost in Ottawa?
In Ottawa, you can expect to pay between $1,000 and $5,000 for a corporate videographer, depending on the project’s complexity and the videographer’s experience.
For event videography, such as weddings, costs can vary significantly based on the length of coverage and services included.
How We Chose the Best
Capital Arts Productions

Address: 3rd Flr., Sparks Street BIA & MA
Phone: +1 613 314 6695
Business Hours:
- By appointment
When it comes to Capital Arts Productions on Sparks Street, we must say they’re a solid choice for anyone seeking videography in Ottawa. Their reputation is stellar, covering everything from intimate weddings to grand corporate campaigns.
What we really appreciate is their willingness to let you peek behind the curtain. Their equipment, from high-end cameras to top-notch lighting gear, is there for you to see and marvel at either on their website or, even better, in person.
Next, our chat with their past clients left us pretty impressed with their tailored approach to video services. We felt like they truly care about capturing each unique story.
Yet, we couldn’t ignore the fact that connecting with them mainly through email, calls, or texts—and strictly by appointment—could be a drag if you’re in a time crunch. Their rates are also higher than average.
If there’s one thing we’d love to see, it’s a more streamlined communication method for those fast-paced moments. But hey, the exceptional output keeps most of us smiling!
Outstanding quality and attention to detail
“Zach was amazing to work with! He was incredibly professional, flexible with scheduling, and delivered a video that exceeded our expectations. The quality of his work is outstanding, and his attention to detail really shines through. We couldn’t be happier with the final product. Highly recommend this production company for any videography projects!”
-Mandy Preston, Google Review
Exceptional social media expertise and professionalism
“I would highly recommend Zach from Capital Arts Production. We used his services for creating videos of interviews with a multitude of people (and personalities). Zach also created some fantastic social media reels that greatly increased our visibility and interest in our show and theatre company. Zach was very professional. prompt, polite and patient!! throughout our filming and editing process. We will be using his services again in the future!!”

Cloud In The Sky Studios

Address: 384 Bank St #201
Phone: +1 613 902 8056
Business Hours:
- Monday to Friday – 9 AM to 7 PM
Cloud In The Sky Studios got a whole team ready for action—directors, cinematographers, writers, editors, you name it, they’ve got it.
We loved how they act like one-stop shopping for all your video needs, from live-action to animated explainers, and even product and testimonial videos.
We are also glad with their flexibility and personalised approach. They really gear their projects to fit the client’s unique needs, which explains why people rave about their work.
Customer feedback seemed to back this up, with previous clients praising how seamless and straightforward the whole process was. By the way, we also liked how their team is super approachable and how they immediately answer all our queries.
However, their rates are a bit of a wallet-buster. Plus, they’re closed on weekends, which threw us a bit since you might need last-minute weekend projects sometimes.
Unmatched professional and comfortable experience
“I cannot recommend Cloud in the Sky Studios enough! We chose this team based on their impressive online portfolio, loving their creative ways of capturing the real life moments and turning it into art. Not only were they all clearly professionals in their field, but they were also the most down to earth group of individuals. We had Joseph and Julien as videographers as well as Stefan as our photographer for our wedding this past weekend and our friends and family LOVED having them around all day. They took command when needed while still ensuring a fun atmosphere. I have experienced quite a few other events with videographers & photographers, but no other experience has been as professional or comfortable as our experience with Cloud in the Sky Studios.”
-Amy M., Google Review
Professional and high-quality videos
“Julien and Joseph captured the magic of our wedding day and made us relive those same feelings while watching the final production. They are both professional and friendly and helped the day flow with ease. Ourselves and guests felt super comfortable with them around, as they are such a charismatic pair. They did not miss a single moment of our special day. The quality and substance of our video is at Hollywood standards. Julien and Joseph are the best!”

Aspen Films

Address: 78 George St #204
Phone: +1 613 290 8308
Business Hours:
- Monday to Friday – 9 AM to 5 PM
We had a blast checking out Aspen Films, and their range of video services is definitely top-notch. From promotional videos to virtual events, interview-style videos, award videos, TV commercials, and even live streaming, they pretty much cover all the bases.
We found the team easy-going yet super on-point with deadlines, which is crucial for any project.
Their reputation in Ottawa is rock solid! Most people we talked to had nothing but praise for their professional approach and the high-quality output.
Overall, it’s clear they know their stuff and have the equipment to prove it. On the flip side, the cost could be a bit on the high side, which is understandable given their track record.
We’re also iffy that they’re closed on weekends and are available on weekdays per appointment basis.
What’s keeping us positive, though, is the clear communication and efficient delivery schedules—they know how to keep their clients in the loop without making it a chore.
Great initiative and creative alignment
“Our Production Manager, Giulio, was fantastic. He quickly understood my creative vision and took direction well, while also taking the initiative to film shots I hadn’t thought of. My colleagues and I had a lot of fun filming with him. The final project turned out better than I had even imagined!”
-Lucia Plunkett, Google Review
Organized teamwork and impressive results
“Great experience filming and working together to produce our videos. The guy on site was organized and professional, along with the rest of the staff I worked with. Only complaint was that it took a couple months to produce and edit them as they are pretty busy. All around great experience and LOVE my results!”
-Megan Cundari, Google Review
Mocha Tree Studios

Address: 378 Gallantry Way
Phone: +1 613 866 7663
Business Hours:
- Tuesday to Saturday – 9 AM to 5 PM
We checked out Mocha Tree Studios, and let me tell you, it was a pretty rad experience. They specialise in wedding photography and videography.
By the way, they’ve even got boudoir sessions if that’s your thing. So, straight up, the variety and quality of services they offer definitely got our nod of approval.
They even showed us some of their photo and video collection so we can have a better view of how they managed to bring out a story to their works.
What’s more, every client we spoke with mentioned how they really tuned in to what you want, no matter how imaginative the ideas are.
Plus, the team’s communication is on point, and they didn’t miss any of our calls and inquiries. However, their pricing might stretch some budgets thin.
Also, the high demand means you might need to book well in advance, which can be a bit of a hassle. But overall, the stunning quality of their work and the seamless communication make up for it, no doubt.
Great work and captivating coverage
“We are so happy we selected Mocha Tree Studios to photograph our wedding. They are professional, attentive, fun, and supportive. They helped me create a contingency plan when the weather forecast predicted thundershowers. Even though it didn’t end up raining during our planned shoot times, it helped me get through my day calmly and worry-free. If you are newly engaged, don’t think twice. Mocha Tree Studios are amazing at capturing all of the emotions and details of your big day for you to cherish in the years to come.”
-Stéphanie Bossé, Google Review
Professional efficiency despite editing delays
“We had such a wonderful experience working with Michael as our wedding videographer. Michael was very understanding in terms of our budgetary constraints and crafting a package to suit our needs. He was warm and enthusiastic when we first met for an intro meeting, and during the wedding he managed to get amazing footage without being at all intrusive (how?!). We so appreciated his beautiful coverage, especially the smaller moments like hugs and smiles among family members and friends. Highly recommend Michael and Mocha Tree Studios!”

Films by Jinbon

Address: Serves Ottawa region
Phone: https://jinbon.ca/contact
Business Hours:
- By appointment
We recently had the chance to delve into the offerings at Films by Jinbon, and it’s easy to see why they’re a go-to choice for wedding videography around here.
Going through their portfolio, what we really liked was their candid yet professional style. We can clearly see that they let the love and laughter flow naturally on camera.
They’ve even been selected as a top local wedding videographer by the Ottawa wedding industry, which speaks volumes about their reputation.
Now, everyone we chatted with kept raving about their skill in capturing emotions authentically.
What’s more, communication was highlighted as excellent in our conversations, giving clients a comfortable and direct line to discuss their specific needs.
However, interacting with Jinbon is only by appointment, which could be less convenient for those with tight schedules.
Another thing to note is their high pricing. Still, most agreed that the exceptional quality justified the expense.
While we left with glowing reviews from both staff and clients, we did feel that a more flexible operating schedule could benefit those planning at the last minute.
Thrilled with storytelling and professionalism
“We discussed our vision for a new corporate video with several filmmakers before choosing Jinbon to tell our story. Having been in the wedding industry for over 15 years we have met many videographers, but few story tellers. We were looking for someone who could candidly tell how we help couples create and share their wedding ceremony. Jinbon did just that.
We are thrilled with the video and recommend Films by Jinbon for their guidance and professionalism.”
-Jim Emerson, Google Review
Easygoing and captures unforgettable moments
“We loved having Jinbon as the videographer for our wedding! He is truly the nicest person and so easy to work with, and his calm presence made everything so easy and fun! If you’re undecided about getting a videographer, just do it! The footage he provides is so special and lets you relive your day all over again.”
