Our experience with George Street was excellent! Their service was professional, timely, and more affordable than some other vendors we were considering. We loved the safety net included with going with a company like George Street. One of my biggest nightmares was worrying about one of our photographers/videographer missing our wedding day. The coordinators provided us peace of mind stating that if an emergency should happen, they would have another staff member come and fill in. The coordinators respond quickly to emails, which was great being so busy working full time while wedding planning. We got our photos back about a month later which was much faster than I was expecting. Our video took another month or so and was so sweetly edited. We got contact information from our photo/video team the week before the wedding just in case we needed to contact them individually. They did a great job helping us capture memories that we will cherish forever

We were impressed from the beginning with their clear communication and responsiveness and we stay impressed after seeing the end result. We hired OLAS for photography and videography. Both did an amazing job and we were so happy with the results. OLAS also took the time to understand our needs and the unique cultural components of our ceremony (Indian Catholic ceremony) that needed attention. Highly recommend this company for your wedding. We were also so happy with the video quality - it was like watching a movie!

Between 2023-2024 of wedding planning, I had found Albany Capture on Zola and decided to book their services after doing some research.

If you are looking for the perfect wedding day 3rd wheel bestie - you have found your girl. PNW Based Photographer located on Camano Island, WA. I am a Military wife and mother of two wild kiddos. I have been in business for over 10 years, and have photographed weddings for 8+ years now. I am a Photographer that is in love with true honest emotional love; the silly faces, the bad jokes, the awkward moments.

Awarded Best of Zola
I cannot recommend MyStache Photography enough! From start to finish, Lauren was everything you’d hope for in a wedding photographer—friendly, communicative, professional, and incredibly helpful. She took the time to truly listen to what I wanted while also offering thoughtful suggestions that made the whole experience even better. On our wedding day, things were busy, and we were feeling both hangry and tired. I wanted to stop taking photos entirely, but Lauren kindly suggested I take a quick snack break, which was exactly what I needed. After that, we were back on track and managed to capture all the shots I had hoped for! I loved how she guided us through every photoshoot moment, making it flow well and stress-free. My husband and I aren’t really “photo people,” and normally if we could take fewer pictures, we absolutely would—but Lauren was our biggest cheerleader, keeping us comfortable and making the process enjoyable. She worked quickly and efficiently, all while ensuring the photos were of the highest quality. The end result? Absolutely stunning photos! Lauren captured every special moment beautifully, and I’m so grateful to have these memories preserved forever. If you’re looking for a talented, thoughtful, and fun photographer, look no further than MyStache Photography!

From the first email I sent them, I knew Covenant Pictures was the right choice. I had so many questions and very little idea what I was doing, and they were so patient and kind from the beginning. Every two weeks, they checked in with helpful advice, timeline planning tips, and just really thoughtful messages that made me feel calm and cared for. On the wedding day, they showed up early, smiling and prepared, and immediately made me feel at ease. They helped direct everyone so gracefully—never pushy, just encouraging and kind. I looked around during the ceremony and reception and realized they were everywhere, catching every hug, laugh, and tear. My family kept saying how much they loved the photographers and how easy they were to talk to. And somehow, they had our full gallery ready just over a week later. I opened it during our honeymoon and cried all over again. I’ll never forget how they made me feel. I’ll recommend them forever.

She was so professional, keeping us on time, on track, and ensuring that we stayed on schedule. She is masterful at wrangling family members for photos and capturing those small, intimate moments nobody else would think to capture.

First and foremost, congratulations! This is an exciting time! Before I begin with all the details, I would like to do away with the formalities and keep it light. Technically speaking, I’m a photographer, but honestly, since establishing my business in 2014, I would consider myself a teammate through this process. I’ve really enjoyed getting to know couples, their families, their stories, and at the end of the day, becoming a good friend. If this vibes with you, we are off to a good start :) Answering questions, transparency in communication, and prompt responses are important to me and I hope that everything I share resonates.

Justin was an amazing photographer for our elopement (just the 2 of us)! We zoom chatted with him before booking him, and we loved his vibe immediately and knew we would be comfortable in his presence to fully express all of the romantic, intimate, and silly parts of our relationship. He did a fantastic job with the details, including flagging 5 days in advance that our elopement date would be rained out, so that we were able to immediately reschedule for 2 days later. He expertly laid out the train of my dress, helped me fix my hair, etc. and also touched up the photos afterwards to fix little things. He did a great job guiding us with suggested poses while also capturing our spontaneous candid moments. It was a very fun and relaxing photography session, and the photos turned out amazing -- perfect lighting, composition, etc. 10/10 would recommend him to all couples!

Hi, I'm Candace and I have a thing for weddings! I didn't start as a wedding photographer, I actually started as a BIRTH photographer surprisingly! I was addicted to capturing real and raw moments for families to have and relive over and over. I actually was nervous for weddings, which is why I didn't start doing them. One thing led to another and as people started asking me if I WOULD shoot their wedding, I decided to give it a try. Fast-forward to dozens and dozens of weddings later and I am obsessed!! I am a full fledged wedding photographer and I LOVE capturing every single moment of your day. The addiction is real!!

I can't even begin to tell you how amazing Candace is. She was the photographer for my stepsons wedding last year and did an amazing job. We got married this month and chose her as our photographer as well. She did not disappoint. My stepson and his wife are young and beautiful but we are much older (46-50). I was afraid of how the pictures would come out due to our age. She did amazing. Her editing is perfect and she captured so many "real" moments. We can't wait to see what she does with the rest of the pictures but here is how she did with some sneak peak ones she sent me. She was great to work with!

Photography has always been a lifelong passion of mine, I picked up my first camera as a gift from my dad when I was 14 years old. Never in a million years would I have thought that my lifelong hobby could eventually become my career. I focused on my future, working my way through college and grad school to achieve my license to practice, but a part of me realized that I wanted to pursue a career that allowed me to go on adventures and meet a lot of new people. So in 2019, I took that risk, changed my hours from full time to part time and put more focus on my photography. I booked my first gig later that year and have never looked back.

We couldn’t be happier with our experience working with the Duet team! From the very beginning, they were incredibly responsive, answering all our questions and putting us at ease. My husband and I initially felt a little awkward in front of the camera, but Mike and his team gave us the perfect amount of direction to help us relax and enjoy the moment. They followed our photo list perfectly, while also pivoting seamlessly whenever we wanted an extra shot or when last-minute changes came up, like moving first look photos from the park to the hotel courtyard when it rained (which still turned out stunning, you would have never known!). My bridal party and family absolutely loved working with them, and once the party started, they blended into the background, capturing the most beautiful candid moments without us even realizing they were there. One of my absolute favorites was the set of night photos we decided to do last minute—they came out magical. The entire team was professional, kind, and beyond talented. I’m in love with both our photos and the video—they perfectly capture the joy of the day. I was very picky when it came to photographers, researching extensively through Instagram and BOLI fb group before finding them. Their use of natural lighting makes every photo look breathtaking, and after seeing their work, I knew I had to have them for my wedding. Mike, Hanel, and the whole team exceeded every expectation. We will treasure these memories forever!

I’m based in the greater Phoenix area but am always traveling around the state and U.S. for weddings! I’ve been married to my best friend, Cody, for 9 years now. I’ve been a professional photographer for about 7 years now. I’ve always had a passion for photography. Photography is my passion and it’s my full-time job.

My fiance and I got our engagement photos done by Kevyn and they have to be my favorite photos we have ever taken together. She is super creative in helping pose us and making it look like no one was around us during the shoot. Every photo looks like a work of art and you can tell she puts her time and effort into each and every photo. I can’t wait to have her as my wedding photographer!!!

Hey y’all! My name's Gabriella, I love sunshine and I'm a documentary-style wedding & engagement photographer based in Philadelphia. I'm a hopeless romantic and I adore documenting love stories with my camera in a beautiful & compelling way. Basically, I’m a down-to-earth gal from Pennsylvania who got hooked on the travel bug at college in Georgia (go dawgs!!), has a passion for storytelling and absolutely loves love. Running, biking and chasing sunsets are my favorite pastimes. I’m team coffee AND team tea. I dream real big and I’m full of ambition. Oh, and I'm not just you wedding photographer ... I'm your new friend :)

Gabriella (and her team) is AMAZING and truly made all of our photo dreams come true! After our first call with Gabriella, we knew almost instantly that we wanted her to capture our day. She brings a lighthearted and warm energy to every space she’s in and is extremely professional and responsive throughout the wedding planning process. From video calls, to coffee planning sessions, to engagement photos, to our big day, she made us feel comfortable and excited. Every photo we received from Gabriella was perfect, from detail shots to photos of us with our large family and little nieces and nephews. We are SO happy to have chosen Gabriella and will forever recommend her to everyone!

Hey there! My name is Marilyn. I live in New York City with my sweet partner, and our orange cat Maple. I’m an introverted, soft-hearted mush with an insatiable need to document the beauty in life. Practicing self-portraits in middle school eventually led me to pursue my photography degree from New York University, and I have been joyfully creating photos of wedding days ever since. To me, weddings are a magical display of the human spirit. It’s my biggest honor and joy to create imagery that captures that human magic - especially in a way that breaks the boundaries of historically gendered traditions.

Working with Marilyn was such a treat. She’s so warm, and communicating with her is a breeze. Both my husband and I were more interested in capturing the moments of our wedding day rather than spending loads of time on staged family portraits. Marilyn and her assistant Emma were great at getting the shots your grandparents will want while also capturing the essence of your night. She asked great questions, made sure we felt comfortable at every turn, and fully captured the essence of my (camera-shy) husband. Don’t hesitate to work with her!!

About wedding photographers

How much does a wedding photographer cost?

Wedding photographers early in their careers can cost as little as $1,500. Super experienced photographers, as seen in magazines like Vogue and Vanity Fair, can cost upwards of $30,000. The range is wide, but, in general, you can expect to spend around 10% of your budget on wedding photography. Rates also vary based on wedding length, the services you want, and location. A photographer based in an area with a lower cost of living, for example, will be less than one based in New York or San Francisco.

How much should we tip our wedding photographer?

A good rule of thumb is to tip 10% of their rate, or at least $100. If they’re bringing second photographers or assistants, an additional $50 to $75 per person is an appropriate and nice gesture.

What questions should we ask wedding photographers?

Aside from logistical questions about packages, pricing, and availability, it’s also important to use your conversation to get a sense of their personality. This person will be with you and your loved ones every step of your wedding day, including, if you want, in the dressing room! It’s very important that you and your partner both feel comfortable with them and their working style. Talk about your venue, how you want to feel when you look at your photos, and which photos from their portfolio you like best.
