Rental Collection

Welcome

Over the years we’ve amassed a large collection of curated, tried-and-true props that bring tabletop and food photography to life. Our prop collection is available for rent in Vancouver, British Columbia (Canada). We have hundreds of items and are always adding to our collection of surfaces & backdrops, ceramics, plates, bowls, mugs, utensils, linens, boards, and so much more. All items are lovingly hand-picked by us, many are one of a kind.

How it works

Props can be rented a la carte - or as part of a prop styling package. All orders are subject to a $250 rental minimum.

A la carte rentals:

You review our rental inventory online (see here) and pick out the specific items you’d like to rent for your shoot. Please complete the Props Rental Form and e-mail it to us at: props[at]abcreativeservices.com. Someone from our team will get back to you as soon as we can, to confirm availability during your rental window, and next steps to confirm your booking.

Please note, due to the current pandemic, we are not offering in-person visits. Rentals will be delivered to you and picked up when you’re done with them (delivery fees start at $60/round trip). The delivery fee will count towards the $250 rental minimum.

Investment: Cost of rentals.

Mini Prop Styling Package:

You will have access to a prop stylist from our team, via a call (up to 1 hour long), to share your photoshoot brief and creative direction. Our stylist will make a stylized list of recommendations for props and/or surfaces to rent, based on your needs, creative vision, and prop budget. You can review the stylist’s recommendations and make any direct changes to the list yourself, before securing the rental.

Investment: Packages start at $100, plus cost of rentals. If you’re interested in the Mini Prop Styling Package, please e-mail us with details of what you’re looking for, and we can provide an estimate.

Full Prop Styling Package:

You have unlimited e-mail access to a prop stylist from our team, before your photoshoot. The project will begin with an introductory call (up to 1 hour long), to share your photoshoot brief and any creative direction. Your stylist will then follow-up with a stylized list of recommendations for props and/or surfaces to rent, based on your needs, creative vision, and prop budget. You will be able to work with the stylist to make any adjustments needed; they can recommend other options based on your feedback. And, depending on your needs, the stylist can also source other rentals and purchases (to supplement the rental inventory available). This package is for more complex shoots, including cookbook shoots, which often require a significant number of props, tailored specifically to the table of contents and recipes.

Investment:
-Packages start at $300, plus cost of rentals and delivery, if the stylist will be pulling and packing up props in advance of your photoshoot. We would be happy to provide you with a more accurate estimate once we receive the details of what you’re looking for.
-Packages start at $600, plus cost of rentals, if you want the stylist on set during the photoshoot to style each shot. Stylist minimum call-out for set days is a half (0.5) day. Delivery fee will be waived if the stylist will be on site for your shoot (in other words, props will be delivered and taken away from your shoot at no added fee). We would be happy to provide you with a more accurate estimate once we receive the details of what you’re looking for.

Details for securing your booking: All rentals must be paid for in full, prior to our team packing the items for pick up. We also require a damage deposit at the time of booking. We are able to drop-off and/or pick-up your rentals for an added fee. Please note that you are responsible for cleaning items prior to returning them, and carefully packing them up in the same boxes/packing materials that you received props in. Rentals must be returned in the same condition they were rented in. In the unlikely event that a rental item is damaged, please contact us immediately and we can arrange for replacing/repairing the item. Replacement costs start at 5X the item’s weekly rental rate. If you have any questions, you can shoot us an email at: props[at]abcreativeservices.com.

Please note: Some of the items shown in our online rental inventory are “restricted rentals”. These rentals are one-of-a-kind items that are particularly difficult to replace. Restricted rentals are only available for Full Prop Styling Packages where one of our stylists has been hired to be on set during the photoshoot. This way, we can be extra careful to ensure these props are packed/handled/returned without any damage before/during/after the photoshoot. If you happen to select one of these items on the Props Rental Form, we will notify you and suggest alternatives.
