I’m so glad we went with Sound Originals for our wedding photos! Both photographers and videographer were awesome. Booking was easy and I love their online portal – they asked all the right questions and made sure everyone was on the same page with the vision for the day. We were able to have a planning call to “meet” our lead photographer, Carly, before the wedding day. I really appreciated that so we could go over some details and feel a little bit more comfortable going into the big day (husband and I are not huge picture people). Carly and team were right on time and I can’t say enough good things about how comfortable they made us feel and how hard they worked to make sure we got every shot that we wanted. It rained on our wedding day so there were some pictures I was disappointed about not getting, but Carly got out her phone and was tracking the weather so we could take advantage of every single break in the rain – even if it was only a couple minutes! We ended up getting every picture that I wanted and I’m so grateful! We got our picture gallery back ahead of what was stated in the contract and it’s everything we hoped for. The color is exactly what we chose (we went with the “Timeless” edit. Despite the rain they managed to capture every location on the property and it looks absolutely beautiful. We had an awesome experience, and I highly recommend them. Thank you for being a part of our favorite day!

I can not stress enough how much I LOVED working with Duet. My husband and I aren't really pose for photos type of people but I still knew this would be the only thing I had from the day that would last a lifetime. They are so professional and truly captured the BEST candid photos. Of course we had a few posed photos but most of the day was them working around us which was amazing! One of my biggest pet peeves is a photographer stopping people from dancing to catch a group photo. I personally would rather take a photo of the group dancing. That's just my preference. Duet made sure to emphasize that they also do not want to ever “stop” our day for a photo. Communicating them was seamless and clear at all times. The photos came out STUNNING and our videos are absolutely wonderful.

We’re so glad we chose Jason. We can’t believe how beautiful our photos are. We’re both pretty awkward people and we always look silly in photos. He was so fun and encouraging. He captured every moment beautifully. We’ve never looked so graceful in our lives. We had our wedding at a campground and he arrived early and worked with us to get pictures of our friends and families in that casual setting in our casual clothes. In these pictures and in the photos of our wedding, he made beautiful use of the scenery. He got to know us as a couple and really understood our vision. He gave detailed directions but the photos still look organic and spontaneous. He was also so kind and accessible through the whole process. We didn’t have a planner and he helped us figure out our wedding itinerary even though that was definitely not his job. He has a ton of wedding experience and it shows.

Ashley and her husband Nate shot our wedding, and while they were phenomenal on the day of, they were truly the dream team from the very beginning. I knew I wanted our spring wedding to be full of color and joy, and I wanted our photos to reflect that so I could relive the day over and over. Ashley Kristine Photo was the obvious choice for this vibe. Ashley answered every question throughout our year and a half engagement, helped us navigate weather cancellations for our engagement session, and, when our wedding day ended up being the only day in all of April that was supposed to get snow, she talked everything through with me and reassured me the photos would still be nothing short of stunning. On the day of, Ashley and Nate showed up just as excited as the rest of us. They helped protect my peace, followed my photo list while adding their own magical touches, and helped so many of my family members, who usually aren’t comfortable in front of a camera, feel completely at home. And when we got our wedding photos back, many as early as the next morning, I was in disbelief at how she brought those still moments to life through the color and joy she captured of our dreamy day. The weather absolutely did not take away from anything I wanted and I had zero worries throughout the day, which I owe so much of that to Ashley. I sincerely hope to work with Ashley and Nate again in the future, you couldn’t ask for a better duo to capture your special day.

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!!

Covenant Pictures didn’t just document our wedding—they elevated the whole experience. From our first email exchange, they treated me with warmth, respect, and genuine enthusiasm for our story. I remember getting their first “two weeks to go” email and feeling like everything was falling into place thanks to them. They helped build our photography timeline and even suggested lighting tips for our venue, which made a huge difference in our portraits. On the wedding day, they were present yet never overwhelming. They knew exactly when to give direction and when to let moments unfold naturally. I loved how they reminded me throughout the day to pause, breathe, and just be. That intentional presence helped me stay grounded and enjoy every second. Guests were raving about how fun and sweet the photographers were. Then, as if that wasn’t enough, we got our complete gallery while we were still on our honeymoon in Santorini! The turnaround was lightning-fast, and the quality was breathtaking. I’ll cherish these photos for life. Covenant Pictures is a dream team.

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.
