We could not have asked for a better photography and videography team for our wedding reception! Bayo was truly a mind reader — constantly in the right place at the right time and somehow captured every special moment without ever feeling staged or forced. Arlene worked quietly behind the scenes, capturing every emotional, joy-filled detail so naturally that it feels like we’re reliving the night every time we watch our video. Their professionalism, creativity, and teamwork made the entire experience effortless. We’ll cherish these memories forever!

Awarded Best of Zola
Working with George Street was such a wonderful experience. They made everything about the process easy and manageable. From our very first conversation with them, they were incredibly friendly and amenable - willing to work with us regarding our budget and offered packages not based on how they could get the most amount of money from us, but on how their packages would help us execute our vision of the perfect wedding. However, where George Street really shines is in their team. We chose Jeremy as our lead photographer and he brought such a joy and passion to the photos that he took. We had chosen a rather unique venue for our engagement session (one without the best lighting to be fair) and he took such care in crafting each shot so that we both looked our best, but also popped against the background. You could tell while he was taking every photo that it was not about getting the next shot and moving on, but that he cared about getting the right shot for you. That kind of care extends to the rest of their team as well. Nora and Emily were incredibly communicative throughout the entire process. They responded to almost every email within 48 hours of sending and anytime we had a question about anything, no matter how small, they were more than happy to walk us through it either via email or by hopping on the phone. Their user portal for creating a wedding plan is also very user-friendly and was helpful in determining important moments to capture during the night as well as the best way to structure our wedding in terms of timeline. In terms of the actual wedding day, we had Mario as an associate photographer and Randy as our videographer in addition to Jeremy. Once again, all three made us feel like we were absolute stars. For Randy in particular, he was seemingly everywhere at once. If there was something happening on the dance floor or a moment of revelry happened anywhere, he somehow captured it. The process of receiving the photos & videos afterward was also much quicker than anticipated and they were stunning. We had such a hard time choosing what photos would go into the album. Overall, this was an incredible team to work with and if we were to do it all again, they would be our first choice.

Ivory Grove was a great and easy company to work with! I was sent a list of all of their photographers to view their work and give a preference of who we’d be assigned, which was reassuring to see each individuals work. The payment plan each month was great as well, as we had everything settled before the big day. There was always communication with Ivory Grove in the months before the wedding and I knew I could always reach out and get a quick reply if I had any questions. We ended up having a different photographer than our engagement session, but it worked out great as Nicole was amazing! She went above and beyond throughout the day, even putting on all of the groomsmen’s boutonnières. We got so many great shots in places that Nicole suggested and couldn’t be happier with our pictures.

Hanel and his entire team were absolutely incredible. Mike was our lead photographer for both the engagement session and wedding day, and Hanel was our lead videographer. This was the vendor I spent the most time researching, and I couldn’t be happier with my decision. Not only do I love their style and quality of work, but I also found their pricing to be very reasonable for the level of talent and professionalism they provide.

Awarded Best of Zola
I found Covenant Pictures through a friend’s recommendation, and I will forever be grateful. Planning a wedding felt overwhelming at first, but their constant support made it easier than I ever imagined. They stayed in touch regularly—sending me timelines, posing tips, shot lists, and little words of encouragement that meant the world to me. On the day itself, I was an emotional mess (in the best way), and they were the calming, positive force I didn’t know I needed. They gently guided me through portraits, made my bridesmaids laugh, and even helped bustle my dress when my mom got flustered. One of my favorite parts was how they always asked, “Do you want a photo with this person before they leave?” It felt like they were 10 steps ahead of me. My friends still talk about how professional and fun they were to be around. And to get the final edited gallery before we even got back from our honeymoon? That blew my mind. Every photo took me right back to the moment. If you're getting married—do yourself a favor and book Covenant Pictures.

They always answered my questions as fast as they could, which put me at ease during the planning process. I loved that I can have access to all the pictures they took, not just the edited ones. The video they put together is amazing - they were able to make it so special in just a few short minutes. The photographer and videographer told us exactly what to do and how to pose, which was so helpful since we didn't know what kind of poses we wanted. The only thing I knew I wanted was some under the veil pictures, and they made sure to get those first. I also loved knowing that if my photographer or videographer were sick that day or something happened, there would be a back-up person there to ensure our day was captured perfectly.

Awarded Best of Zola
Scarlet Oak Studio could not have been better to work with. They came recommended by our venue (Log Haven) and almost seemed too good to be true. Our photography and videography package was the same cost as just photography elsewhere and included multiple shooters and lighting. Linsey was our lead shooter and I truly can’t say enough good things about her and the rest of the team! Linsey is so full of joy and kept things fun and light but also on track. She called us prior to the wedding day so we could walk through all of our shots and make a detailed schedule. We had some concerns on timing and Linsey worked out a “fake send off” to capture the photos without stopping the party or having to add another hour to our package. Pictures can be tough for both me and my now husband so I was worried the photos would feel uncomfortable on the actual day but that could not have been further from the truth! The entire team was so kind and thoughtful, they captured every moment without feeling intrusive. They gave helpful direction without making things feel too posed or staged and gave us space during a private vows reading while still capturing the love in that moment. I wanted photos that felt true to the spirit of the day and I definitely think the joy radiates through each picture. I have had multiple friends message me specifically about how great the photos turned out - and I know you might be thinking everyone says that to the bride, but I’m talking about photos taken of my friends that they’re loving! So if Scarlet Oak Studio seems to be too good to be true don’t question it, just book it! :)

We got married on August 2025, and had the pleasure of working with Aimee Tursky. Prior to our wedding, we spoke on the phone regarding what we wanted (photo ideas) - under the veil, bubbles, a VERY specific group shot, and a game day photo. Aimee DELIVERED. She exceeded all of our expectations, and we are still receiving compliments on our photos, including statements about how they are "Bridal Magazine" worthy. Reflections Media made the booking process easy, and Danielle was available through every step for any questions or concerns. My husband and I couldn't recommend Reflections Media PA, and Aimee enough. We are so pleased on how our photos turned out. I'd also like to add it took about 3 weeks for us to get our edited photos back.

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 is absolutely AMAZING at what he does. My fiancé and I can’t recommend him enough! His communication and planning is 10/10. We let him know the locations we wanted to shoot at and met him day of the shoot - he jumped right into guiding us through the session (we had no idea what we were doing, but Justin made us feel so comfortable). We laughed through the entire shoot! Justin is very personable and friendly. Justin sent previews of some photos the SAME day we did the shoot. We were in love with the previews! Shortly after, we got our full portfolio - to say we are obsessed is an understatement. All of the photos are beautiful, and Justin perfectly captured us. If you’re looking for a photographer who makes you feel comfortable, is great at communicating, and delivers stunning photos - look no further than Justin.

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.
