Awarded Best of Zola
Timeless Texas was absolutely incredible to work with and truly gave us the most beautiful memories of our wedding day. We could not recommend them more highly. Our main photographer, Carlye, was amazing from the very beginning. She also photographed our engagement session, which was such a great experience and made us feel even more comfortable going into the wedding day. Our second photographer, Basil, and our videographer, Arnie, were equally fantastic. The entire team was professional, organized, and clearly knew exactly what they were doing. My husband and I are not naturally comfortable being the center of attention and can be a little camera shy, but they made us feel completely at ease. They gave just the right amount of direction while still keeping everything natural. They also really listened to our feedback on photography and video styles we liked, which meant so much to us. Their customer service was outstanding throughout the entire process. They were always responsive, patient, and helpful when answering our many questions. We never felt left in the dark or unsure about anything. We booked their Timeless PLUS Package during an incredible sale they were running, and it truly included everything we could have wanted and more. We even got drone footage, a social video, and the full ceremony video with the deal. We were also able to add on the raw photos and raw video footage, which was so special to have. The value we received for the quality of work was amazing. Our photos are stunning and timeless, and our highlight video perfectly captures the emotion and energy of the day. We were also pleasantly surprised at how quickly we received our photos and videos after the wedding. The turnaround time was faster than we expected, and the quality was great. They were such an important part of making our wedding day perfect, and we are so grateful for them.

Awarded Best of Zola
The process of finding a wedding photographer and videographer, as any Bride knows, can be extremely stressful. We took quite a few meetings before we sat down with Hanel for our first video call. From the start, I stressed to him that as an interracial couple, it was extremely important to us that every single person, regardless of their skin color, be captured well in the photos and videos with lighting that worked for them. Hanel assured us that the team would be able to accomplish this and even sent us a gallery for reference, which ultimately helped us make our decision. When we received our photos, we were thrilled to see this goal was met and exceeded. Every photo, every person, every moment was beautifully and thoughtfully captured. We had the opportunity to do an engagement shoot with Mike before our wedding which was wonderful. We both felt a little uncomfortable in front of the camera, but Mike knew exactly what to say to capture those intimate moments. He made the experience feel natural when it was anything but! On our wedding day, we had the same fantastic experience. Mike and his team knew exactly what to do and they helped guide the way. They showed up and got right to work on detail shots and set up the room to look amazing for our getting ready shots. The photography assistant did the same for the men where they were getting ready. As a wedding singer myself, I have seen far too many photographers insert themselves into intimate ceremony moments. Mike and his team were extremely respectful at the Church, yet still able to capture the important moments! We got married on an extremely cold November day, right after daylight savings time so we didn’t have a ton of time between the ceremony and reception to capture daylight photos since we decided not to do a first look. Once again, Mike and the team worked efficiently to get all the appropriate photos and even got some stunning Fall foliage pictures. They were very good at scoping out the locations for beautiful backdrops which we see in all of our wedding gallery photos. They got amazing outside evening photos at Westbury Manor as well, even though it was so dark by the time we got there. When I was stressed towards the end of the night that we might not capture every planned moment (my husband and I sang an opera duet at the wedding reception on top of everything else!) they worked with the DJ to make sure everything flowed and all moments were captured and we did not feel rushed. Overall, the team was wonderful. They knew exactly what to do to make sure every moment was captured beautifully and everyone looked amazing! I cannot recommend Duet Photo and Video enough. We will cherish these memories for the rest of our lives!

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.

Hello, I'm Tomi, a Wedding Photographer with over 500+ weddings under my belt. I live in Broomfield, Colorado with my amazing wife and my dog Teddy. I capture authentic, creative and emotionally driven wedding moments. My photography style has a mixture of unique candid photos combined with some traditionally posed shots, all edited with the more warm and true-to-life color editing style.

Awarded Best of Zola
I am notoriously bad at taking pictures. My eyes are always closed, my smile looks fake and forced, and overall you can tell that I feel uncomfortable in front of the camera. However, none of these qualities are seen in any of my wedding photos. Tomi made us feel relaxed, comfortable, and we even had fun taking pictures! Throughout the whole wedding he was working constantly to capture the story of the day, documenting every key moment, and was working the room while still having his chill and fun-loving spirit. The quality of the photo speak for themselves, despite the very harsh Colorado Sun with little to no clouds that day, the lighting in the photos are spot on. We are super happy that we picked Tomi, from our interactions with him leading up to the wedding where he really listened to what we wanted our experience to be, to day of, and afterwards with a quick turn around. I found Tomi to be comforting, fun, and easy to be around, exactly the kind of person you want to have around on your wedding day. Our guests also commented on how great he was and how amazing the photos came out.

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 was the first vendor that we booked for our wedding- before the venue, before anything else and it was probably the best decision that I made in the entirety of our wedding planning. Justin was such a pleasure to work with from the start and went above and beyond to make sure that my partner and I were comfortable in the run-up to the wedding and on our wedding day (which is saying a lot, because my partner hates taking/being in pictures). On the wedding day, Justin was even more incredible than I could have imagined. He made us both feel at ease the entire wedding, making us laugh and seamlessly capturing amazing pictures along the way. All night and since the wedding, we've had family and friends tell us how incredible Justin was- his easygoing, friendly demeanor made an already really special day even better and we are so grateful to have him as our photographer. The pictures he captured are stunning (no surprise given the work we'd seen of his before) but I was blown away by the candid moments he was able to capture that we will cherish forever. Again- I can't recommend Justin highly enough and will forever be grateful for both the way he was able to capture the best moments of such an important day and for him being such a wonderful person.

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!
