Hiring a Videographer and Photographer in Muskoka: Resorts, Cottages and Builds

Muskoka sells itself on looks — the lakes, the light, the docks and the drive in. That makes video and photography more important here than almost anywhere in Ontario, and a little harder to get right.

Studio 204 is a video production company and videographer & photographer team based just south of the region, in Warminster. Most shoots in Gravenhurst, Bracebridge and Huntsville are a day trip, so there's no overnight travel billed both ways.

What Muskoka businesses usually need

  • Resorts and tourism: property films, room and amenity libraries, seasonal campaigns and short social cuts built around the booking cycle.
  • Builders and trades: progress capture, finished-build films and photo libraries for custom homes and cottages.
  • Local brands and employers: brand films, recruitment video and team headshots.
  • Events: coverage for wedding venues, festivals and corporate retreats.

Plan around the season

Muskoka looks completely different in July, October and February. If you need content for the whole year, plan for more than one visit. Being close by means we can come back for a second season instead of shooting one look and calling it a library.

Weather and water

Weather here can change an hour into the day. We build a contingency day into the schedule, and plan dock, shoreline and boat access ahead of time. For properties without reliable power, we bring our own power, audio and lighting.

Drone footage

Aerials are often the reason people call about Muskoka. Our pilots are Transport Canada certified and insured for commercial work over resorts, builds, waterfront and shoreline.

Get video and photos in one visit

One crew can film your video and shoot your stills on the same day. You save a second booking and get one consistent look across your website, booking pages, social posts and ads.

Budget

We work across all budgets — most Muskoka projects land between $2,500 and $25,000 CAD, from small single-day shoots to large multi-week productions. Send us your scope and we'll reply with real numbers within one business day.
