TESTIMONIALS

  • A smiling woman with curly brown hair and blue eyes, wearing a dark green shirt and a name tag that reads 'Kara.' She stands in front of a blurry green background.

    "We were thrilled by Sameer's ability to capture the essence of our special event! The photos were crisp, well edited, and brought the pure joy of the experience back to life."

    Kara U. (Oak Bay Volunteer Services Society)

  • Professional headshot of a man with dark hair, beard, and a friendly smile, wearing a suit jacket, white shirt, and red tie.

    "Sameer did an awesome job photographing our business launch and mixer. Super professional, easy to work with, and clearly knows what he’s doing. Would absolutely work with him again and highly recommend him for any business or event photography."

    Usman A. (Q5 Strategies)

  • Headshot of a bald man wearing glasses and a gray button-up shirt, smiling with arms crossed against a plain white background.

    "Sameer from Available Light Photography took photos at a professional networking event that I host. He was very professional and delivered a great gallery of photos, well edited, and most surprisingly, within 24 hours."

    James R. (Argo Coaching)

  • A smiling man with light skin and short ginger hair, wearing a blue and white checkered shirt, standing against a white background.

    "Sameer did photography at a company workshop that we ran. I was conscious about having a photographer there for such a small group, as I didn't want to make people uncomfortable. However it all went very smooth, and you hardly noticed he was in the room. Sameer was very pleasant and courteous to our guests. Delighted with what we got. I have no problem recommending Sameer for any corporate event photography needs."

    Gavin O. (Monalo Media)

  • Headshot of a smiling woman with dark hair, earrings, and a black blazer against a white background.

    "Sameer photographed the first Lohri for my best friend's baby, and I couldn't be happier with the experience. The photos turned out beautifully and truly captured the warmth and joy of the celebration. Sameer was professional, friendly, and a very welcome presence at the event. We're so glad we had him there and would absolutely recommend him."

    Tiffany M. (Heron Media)

Frequently Asked Questions

  • First, please complete and submit the booking form above. Once submitted, I will reach out by email and arrange a date and time with you. Once confirmed, in the case of outdoor headshots, I will send you an invoice for a retainer of 50% of the total package. The retainer is non-refundable, and secures both my time and availability on the chosen date. The balance of payment may then be made up to 48 hours prior to the photoshoot.

    Payments can be made online via credit card or via e-transfer; payments made via credit card have a 3% card processing fee.

  • Once the retainer has been paid, cancellations are only permitted if the event itself has been cancelled. In such cases a 15% administrative fee will be applied if cancelled within 14 days, and a 30% administrative fee will be applied if cancelled within 7 days, and a 45% administrative fee will be applied if cancelled within 2 days. This fee is a percentage of the total package cost.

  • For events in the CRD (excl. Sooke & Metchosin), there are no additional fees. For events outside of the CRD, travel fees will be customized depending on event location and, if needed, the need for accommodation.

  • Bronze Packages: 3-5 days

    Silver Packages: 5-7 days

    Gold Packages: within 14 days

  • The edited photos will be delivered in a privately-accessible, curated online gallery (hosted by Pixieset) for viewing and download. The gallery password and download PIN will be included in the email I’ll send to you with the gallery link. There is no expiry date on gallery access and photo download. The gallery allows for both full and reduced file downloads, if needed.

  • I rely on multiple technological failsafes to ensure nothing is left to chance. I shoot with a dual-card camera for immediate file backup and always bring a fully functional backup camera, lenses, and flash unit in case of equipment failure. In addition, I carry spare batteries for all essential gear. When you work with me, you’re not just hiring a person with a camera; you’re investing in a professional who brings experience, preparation, and accountability to every shoot.

    In rare instances, individual photos may be corrupted or unretrievable (usually not more than 2 or 3, if this were to happen.) To manage this, for key or pivotal event moments I take multiple shots of the same scene.

    In the extremely unlikely and unprecedented event of total technological failure or data loss, a full refund will be issued.

    Please rest assured: to date, this has never happened in the 6 years that I have been a photographer.

  • I have a Diploma in Professional Photography from The Photography Institute, reflecting a strong technical foundation and professional training in photography. I also have multiple years of experience, working with a multitude of individuals and organizations. Together, this education and experience translates into a refined, reliable service that goes beyond taking photographs to delivering professional-grade digital assets
