Awarded Best of Zola
We got married 11/01/2025, perfect for a fall wedding. We chose George Street Photo for the quality and pricing that we saw. We couldn’t have asked for a better team, 2 photographers and a videographer. All were the perfect combination of professional and personable, adding their own touches to our ideas made everything turn out so much better than we imagined. Getting to work with our head photographer for the engagement photo session made things even better since we got to meet her in person ahead of time and understand her photo style and it let her know us better before the wedding day. Communication was so easy with our team and was always in a timely manner. The website made it easy to create our timeline and share it with our team along with all the ideas we had for different moments throughout our wedding day.

We had our engagement photos done for free with Pedro, and therefore I didn’t really know what to expect from them. But he was absolutely fabulous, made us feel comfortable the entire time, shot some really creative and cool photographs, and edited all of them for us (like 75). Some of the photos he took are truly incredible and a really sweet capture of our love. Very moody and cinematic. Was about a 2 week turnaround time. Thank you, Pedro!

Her sister even tagged along and helped throughout the day and even took behind the scenes videos and pictures for us! My husband doesn’t love having pictures taken and was so nervous, but Lauren made him feel so comfortable and it felt so natural while taking the photos, AND they came out amazing!

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.

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.

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.
