If I could give above a 5 star review, I would. Kelyn, with Timeless Video, brought the energy you want on your wedding day. We felt so supported and comfortable having her be a part of our day. Hiring Timeless and having Kelyn was hands down one of the best decisions we made on our wedding day. From our very first conversation, she was very warm and professional. On the day itself, she felt more like friends than a vendor. Ultimate hype person and made sure every special moment was captured beautifully. The final video blew us away. The way they pieced together the emotions, laughter, tears and every little in between moment was honestly magical. You always hope you can relive your wedding day with footage and we sure did! Our family and friends haven't stopped raving about how incredible Kelyn was and how our footage turned out--also how much of a BLAST she had during Greek dancing! We would book with Timeless 1,000 times over. Thank you for making our day so special!

“Our photographer really took the time to connect with us, and we found that we shared a lot of common interests! She made us feel very comfortable, and completely followed our desires for candid and more relaxed photos. She was amazing at posing and directing us, as well as going with the flow and capturing what was happening in the moment. We couldn’t be more happy! We love all of the photos taken outside- our couples, wedding party, and golden hour photos feel so genuine and organic and I think that’s what our photographer really excelled in. Our golden hour photos specifically are very romantic and magical- definitely our favorites! I cannot give enough praise to the level of communication given during the planning process. Wedding planning is hard and it gets tricky to keep track of everything. From Darcy at the start getting us booked to Hannah throughout the planning process, I was so grateful for the texts and emails keeping me updated and on track. I am very grateful to have found OLAS, and have already recommended them to my friends getting married next year.”

Joy Photo and Video was a fantastic choice for our wedding photography and videography needs. They always answered my questions as fast as they could, which put me at ease during the planning process. I loved that I can have access to all the pictures they took, not just the edited ones. The video they put together is amazing - they were able to make it so special in just a few short minutes. The photographer and videographer told us exactly what to do and how to pose, which was so helpful since we didn't know what kind of poses we wanted. The only thing I knew I wanted was some under the veil pictures, and they made sure to get those first. I also loved knowing that if my photographer or videographer were sick that day or something happened, there would be a back-up person there to ensure our day was captured perfectly. Overall, Joy Photo and Video exceeded our expectations and I would highly recommend them to any couple planning their wedding.

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.

Justin is beyond amazing. He is a calming, fun, and professional presence all in one. Even outside of photography, he helps out wherever is needed. He literally fanned me while I slogged up stairs in my wedding heels and dress in 90 degree heat and humidity to get to our ceremony so that I didn't melt. He is also so on top of all of the details and the timeline. He makes everyone feel comfortable. To top it all off, he has an amazing eye for capturing beautiful moments and places. My pictures have come out more amazing than I could have ever imagined. I cannot recommend him as a photographer and human being enough.

I am a queer, New York City-based photographer documenting candid joy and human connection. Drawn to emotion and the beauty in everyday moments, I approach my work with mindfulness and intuition – balancing gentle guidance with an observational presence. What I value most about my job is the ability to connect with people and witness their stories unfold in raw, vulnerable ways. I hope that my work is a reflection of these moments: honest, emotive, and intentionally seen.

Awarded Best of Zola
My husband and I got married on June 28, 2024, and I can confidently say our wedding would not have been ours without Emma. She came on recommendation to me, and it was like we were destined to meet. Emma completely understood our vision (my husband and I are both creatives, so we had a VERY detailed one!) and worked with us to get the photos and Super 8 video we wanted. She was so professional, keeping us on time, on track, and ensuring that we stayed on schedule. She is masterful at wrangling family members for photos and capturing those small, intimate moments nobody else would think to capture. (My cousin texted me after the wedding to say, excitedly, that her purse and shoes were captured on camera and she loved it!) Hiring Emma for our photographer was the easiest and best decision my husband and I made on our wedding day. We wish we could get married again so that we can hang out with her more! Hire her!

Hi, I'm Candace and I have a thing for weddings! I didn't start as a wedding photographer, I actually started as a BIRTH photographer surprisingly! I was addicted to capturing real and raw moments for families to have and relive over and over. I actually was nervous for weddings, which is why I didn't start doing them. 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!! I am a full fledged wedding photographer and I LOVE capturing every single moment of your day. The addiction is real!!

Awarded Best of Zola
Candace is AMAZING! We had her photograph our engagement and wedding photos. She was a YES right away because she was immediately happy to capture us with our fur baby for engagement photos! Fast forward to wedding day, ALL of the photos were SO SO SO beautiful, carefully crafted detail shots, and just so perfect! Candace throughout both events was super friendly and personable, but still professional. She was amazing at corralling our large families for group photos, and seamlessly moving around the wedding day, and capturing everything! We liked how she sent a questionnaire a few weeks ahead of the wedding to ask us about minor details that she might not be aware of, and any photo inspiration to make sure we were on the same page. My husband and I love all of the photos Candace took and are so excited to have them forever! We are so grateful Candace was our photographer and you won't regret working with her!!! 3

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.
