That’s the price you pay (plus sales tax for your province) — book a vetted local pro in minutes.
Sign in and Genie matches you with the nearest top-rated, verified pro and shows your price before you book. On the day your pro checks in, completes the work to the agreed scope, and shares completion photos where it makes sense — then you review and approve.

Tell the pro your priorities when you book
Secure pets and put away anything fragile or valuable (for in-home jobs)
Share photos and details up front for the most accurate price
Every photography & video pro on Genie is background-checked and reviewed — and you'll see your price the moment you sign in.

Many event photography jobs can be booked same-day or next-day. Genie alerts vetted pros near you right away and re-opens your job to other pros fast if anyone cancels.
Are Genie's photography & video pros vetted?

Your payment is held securely and only released when you confirm the event photography job is done to your satisfaction. Workmanship is warrantied, and support is a tap away if anything's off.
