Eivan's made our wedding day wonderful! Alexander Schmidt was our photographer, and our videographer was Noah. We got our pictures back sooner than expected, and they suited the exact style we had hoped for. Communication was great, photos were easy to access, and we were allowed free download for so many pictures! One family portrait had one person not looking, otherwise people were smiling and looking in everything. Many people commented on their professionalism as well as their kindness at the wedding. Thanks, Eivan's!

When my wife and I were planning our wedding, we were initially hesitant to book Once Like a Spark Wedding Co. since they were not a local company, and we didn't get to talk directly to the photographer or videographer until the day of the wedding. That being said, what sold us was their website/gallery, their professionalism when getting a quote, and that our venue vouched for them. OLAS' team's communication was responsive, quick, and thorough, putting us at ease. We had planning calls and surveys leading up the day of. Jasmine T did a stellar job setting us up to look our best, and she had her work cut out for her, because she was dealing with two brides, two dresses, and an outfit change! Jasmine was also great about following our instructions from the survey and planning meetings. For example, we had included pictures in front of a wall of donuts at the venue, but we later changed the wall of donuts to cannoli's and forgot to tell OLAS. Turns out the venue threw in the donut wall back in without telling us. Jasmine brought us to the wall, and it made for a great surprise and cute pictures. Jeremy did an amazing job on the videography and editing. Watching the highlight video made us cry because he really captured our best moments and those real smiles in the midst of the stress and hustle and bustle of the wedding day. OLAS gave us complimentary rush photos and video without us asking which was a 2-3 week was turn around. Despite our initial trepidation, we are so happy we booked OLAS. They went above and beyond to make our special day memorable for a lifetime. We are so grateful for their talent and highly recommend Once Like a Spark Wedding Co. to any couple looking for breathtaking photography and videography.

On the wedding day, they showed up early, smiling and prepared, and immediately made me feel at ease. They helped direct everyone so gracefully—never pushy, just encouraging and kind. I looked around during the ceremony and reception and realized they were everywhere, catching every hug, laugh, and tear.

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.

Hi. I’m Josh. Our work is based in Washington, DC, often in San Francisco and we’re happy to travel. The best photographs are simple, unobtrusive, and spontaneous. Memory fills in the gaps - this is how authentic photography captivates us. We've always sought to remember things exactly how they happened - how we felt. The goal is to unobtrusively document your day through artful frames. I'm a firm believer there is no single best photographer anywhere in the world - but there are artist the align with your vision.

We are so incredibly grateful we hired Scarlet Oak Studios to be our wedding photographer and videographer! Scarlet Oak Studios video and photo combined experience was so cohesive and truly the best option! We were so happy to have the videos and photos to re-live the wedding while also seeing all the parts we missed. Scarlet Oak went above and beyond, and the photos and videos are better than we could have ever hoped. The quality is so clear and really couldn’t be any better! The moments they captured will be forever cherished by everyone in attendance; They captured so many candid moments of love, connection, and happiness in us and our guests. Multiple guests said the pictures Scarlet Oak captured of them with their loved ones were some of the best pictures they have ever had. Me and my husband also felt the same about all the photos and moments they captured of us. The drone option was so unique and a great way to get some awesome group shots of your wedding and all the guests. The videos audio is perfect and the way everything came together made us overwhelmed with joy. I was slightly nervous on the wedding day, being only my second time having professional photos taken with my husband, but as soon as Elli, Aaron, and the Team arrived it was non-stop laughter and everyone genuinely being themselves. I got so many positive comments from my guests and bridal party about the photography and videography teams; I was so pleased to hear Scarlet Oak had the same positive impacts for my guests that they had on me and my husband. We highly recommend Scarlet Oak Studios, any experience with them is guaranteed to be wonderful! They are truly masters of their craft!

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.
