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.

Sound Originals did a fantastic job photographing our wedding! Ari and Ali were very professional and they understood how to set up good shots. I'm amazed by how good the lighting was in most of the photos, even in some rooms at the church that weren't as well lit. There are a few photos I wish had been full body rather than cut off at the ankles, oh well. At the end of the night when our coverage had ended before the wedding did, they waited till the end of a song before saying goodbye instead of interrupting, which we greatly appreciated.

Picking Duet Photo & Video for our wedding this past October was one of THE best decisions we made when planning our wedding!! From the initial meeting with Hanel, my husband and I immediately felt comfortable and excited to share our vision for our wedding. Throughout the entire year of planning, Hanel and his team were so receptive and helpful in accommodating anything we needed to make sure our vision came to life! After our engagement session with Mike, we knew we were in the best of hands for our wedding. On our wedding day, there was a bad storm but Mike, Michael and Michelle did not let that get in the way of capturing our celebration. They were on their A game and present at every single moment and found creative ways to get beautiful shots. Throughout the wedding, they came up to us to make sure that we were getting the photos that we discussed were must haves. They know how caught up in the excitement a bride and groom can get, so it was nice to know they were on top of the pictures we wanted. After getting our full gallery back, we were reminded again how happy we are that we chose Duet. They managed to stay invisible while still capturing every single magical moment. These photos are vibrant and full of life and love. We gave them liberty to be creative with our wedding video and it came out even more beautiful than we could have ever imagined! My husband and I were over the moon to be able to relive the most incredible day of our lives through our photos and videos. If you want a wedding photographer who treats you like family and has an incredible eye for capturing every magical moment, you have to choose Duet!!

Working with Lauren was truly such a special experience for our family. She has a way of making you feel completely at ease, even if you’re not used to being in front of a camera. The patience and kindness she showed, especially toward our 16 month old, who is easily distracted and constantly on the move, meant so much. She didn’t rush him or force anything. She just naturally connected with him until the sweetest moments started happening on their own. When we received our gallery, I was honestly blown away. She captured tiny expressions and little moments I didn’t even realize were happening. These are photos we’ll cherish for a lifetime, not just portraits but memories frozen in the most beautiful way. If you’re looking for someone who is talented, thoughtful, and genuinely invested in giving you meaningful photos, I couldn’t recommend her more. She’s everything you’d hope for in a photographer.

My fiancé gave me 3 photographers to look at for our wedding. When I saw Tomi, even my picky side was sold. His photography work is amazing and his communication with us before the wedding was great! He even helped us with our timeline and outline for photos. We had a big venue and were worried about sticking to our timeline and getting the photos we wanted. He took the photos so quickly and got so many photos of us! Many of his ideas took us out of our comfort zone, but ended up being some incredible shots, and he made it extremely fun to do them. One of the best parts of our wedding was getting to have a little bit of Tomi’s time!

I never thought I’d cry over an email, but when Covenant Pictures sent our full wedding gallery just 12 days after the ceremony, I couldn’t stop the happy tears. These photos captured our day in a way that felt deeply personal, emotional, and true to us. But let me back up—throughout the entire planning process, they were consistently supportive and incredibly communicative. Their bi-weekly emails weren’t generic—they felt tailored to me, filled with checklists, helpful reminders, and personal notes. When the big day came, they moved like a stealthy, joyful crew—capturing everything from my dad’s reaction when he saw me in my dress, to the tiny flower girl meltdown (which turned into one of my favorite shots!). I always felt seen, heard, and respected. And my family absolutely adored them—they even got my grandma to smile and dance for a photo! Every guest I talked to after said something like, “Your photographers were AMAZING.” And they were. If you're on the fence, let me save you the trouble—hire Covenant Pictures. They're worth every penny and more.

The detailing in the photos look very professional and we can’t express how much we loved the photos . She made sure to accommodate majority of our families to be included in the photos which meant a lot to us. So once thanks so much for the amazing photos Michelle we can’t to show everyone the outstanding job you did and will be recommending Nova photos and Michelle to our friends and family.

Highly recommend Scarlet Oaks. Extremely professional and kind throughout the entire process. Our photographer Linsey and her team Elli and Abby were just simply wonderful during our wedding and we loved having them be part of our day. The results were stellar and there wasn't a photo in the bunch that we didn't love and adore. Linsey and team not only captured all of our distinct photo moments but the candid shots of our celebration perfectly as well.

Reflections media was such a wonderful choice for us. We were able to choose a photographer and videographer close to the venue since we were traveling and they did not disappoint. The photos were phenomenal and our wedding video was perfection. The day was perfect and I'm so glad I have not only photo proof but video proof of it also. Shout out to Eden and Shoukry!

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.

Awarded Best of Zola
Justin went above and beyond with our engagement photos they are absolutely stunning! Neither of us had ever done a professional shoot like this before, and he instantly made us feel comfortable and confident. His kindness, professionalism, and eye for detail truly sets him apart! We’re so grateful to have had him capture this special moment and I would highly recommend him to all!! Seriously the best!

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.
