Real estate photography in Vancouver can cost less than a single price reduction, but the invoice still needs to make sense for the property and the launch plan. In 2026, the useful question is not only “what does a photographer charge?” It is which deliverables help buyers understand this listing, and what does the package include?
Coastal Photo pricing starts at $195 for listing photography on homes up to 1,999 square feet. The final amount changes with home size and the media selected. This guide breaks down the current starting points for photos, plans, 3D tours, Drone Photography, and video, so you can compare a complete listing package before booking.
Short answer: Vancouver listing photography starts at $195. Photos plus a 2D Floor Plan starts at $285, Standard packages start at $535, and Elite packages start at $845 for homes up to 1,999 square feet.
What changes the cost?
Most real estate photography pricing comes down to four decisions: the home's size, the type of property, the deliverables, and the time needed on site. A clean condo with one level takes a different approach from a detached home with a basement suite, lane access, and a large yard.
- Home size: packages use six size bands, from up to 1,999 square feet through 6,000+ square feet.
- Coverage: a larger home needs more rooms, levels, transitions, and exterior context shown clearly.
- Deliverables: a floor plan, 3D Interactive Tour, Drone Photography, or video adds another way for buyers to understand the listing.
- Access and conditions: occupied homes, strata access, weather, elevators, or multiple structures can affect planning.
Current Vancouver listing photography starting prices
Photo, from $195
The Photo package is the straightforward choice for a listing that needs a bright, believable MLS gallery. It includes listing photography priced by home size. For homes up to 1,999 square feet, the current starting price is $195. The next size bands are $220, $250, $285, and $325. Homes at 6,000+ square feet are quoted directly.
Plan, from $285
The Plan package combines photography with a 2D Floor Plan. It starts at $285 for homes up to 1,999 square feet. This is often the practical choice for condos, townhomes, older homes, or any listing where the layout needs explanation. A standalone 2D Floor Plan starts at $175 when the photo package is not the right fit.
Standard, from $535
Standard adds a 3D Interactive Tour and Drone Photography to photos and a 2D Floor Plan. It starts at $535 for homes up to 1,999 square feet. This package suits listings where buyers need both interior flow and exterior or location context, such as a townhome, view property, or detached home with useful outdoor space.
Elite, from $845
Elite is the full launch package. It includes photos, a 2D Floor Plan, 3D Interactive Tour, Video Walkthrough, Drone Photography, FPV video, and a vertical reel. It starts at $845 for homes up to 1,999 square feet. Larger size tiers increase with the added time and coverage, while 6,000+ square foot properties are scoped directly.
Common add-on costs
Not every listing needs the full package. You can add the deliverable that answers the buyer's next question.
- 2D Floor Plan: from $175, priced by home size.
- 3D Floor Plan: $150 for the first floor, plus $50 for each additional floor.
- 3D Interactive Tour: from $275, priced by size.
- Drone Photography: $175 for a focused edited aerial photo set.
- FPV video: $275 for one continuous flight, cut horizontally and vertically.
- Video Walkthrough: from $400, with delivery within 48 hours.
These are starting points, not a substitute for the live booking total. Check current pricing for the home's size and package combination before confirming the shoot.
Which package fits the property?
- Small condo: Photo for a clean gallery, or Plan if the den, balcony, or room flow needs context.
- Townhome: Plan for level changes. Standard when the home also needs a 3D Interactive Tour or aerial context.
- Detached home: Photo or Plan for a focused launch. Standard when the lot, views, or outdoor areas matter.
- View or luxury listing: Standard or Elite when location, flow, and motion all support the sale.
- Development listing: choose the floor plan format and media that help buyers compare units and understand the site.
What a Vancouver photographer should include
Price is only useful when you know what arrives. Before comparing two quotes, check whether the package includes the number of photos, editing, MLS-ready exports, full-resolution files, floor plan format, hosted tour link, aerial deliverables, video cuts, delivery timing, travel, and tax.
Coastal Photo uses fixed pricing by home size, Greater Vancouver is included, there is no deposit or upfront payment, and the listing photos are delivered the next morning. You pay after delivery. Video deliverables have their own timing because editing takes longer than the photo gallery.

Check availability →How to keep the budget useful
Start with the buyer's uncertainty. A compact condo may get more value from a 2D Floor Plan than from a generic aerial. A multi-level home may need a 3D Interactive Tour. A large lot may need Drone Photography. A listing launch built around social and open-house promotion may justify video.
One visit can cover the full media set. That keeps the property ready once, keeps the gallery consistent, and avoids coordinating separate vendors for each deliverable. The right package is the one that makes the listing easier to understand, not simply the one with the most files.
