“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!”

“We couldn’t be happier with Hanel, Mike and the entire Duet team! From our engagement shoot through our wedding day, they were incredibly professional, organized, and easy to work with, which made the entire experience feel effortless. We got married on May 30 at the Village Club at Lake Success and they captured every big, emotional moment so beautifully, along with all of the candid details we didn’t even realize were happening. Our photos feel timeless, natural, and completely true to the day, while our video brought us right back to the emotion and energy of our wedding. We also added on the photobooth, and we're so glad we did! The photos came out so clear and it was a huge hit throughout the night. They also did such a great job making us feel comfortable in front of the camera while still letting the day unfold naturally. We never felt like we were constantly posing or missing out on time with our family and friends, which was really important to us. They made us feel like ourselves, and I think that really comes through in the photos and highlight video. We are so grateful to have these memories captured with so much thought and care. I genuinely can’t stop looking through our photos — they are incredible! We would wholeheartedly recommend Hanel, Mike, and the Duet team to any couple looking for people who are not only incredibly talented, but who truly care about capturing your day in a way that feels personal and authentic. It was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding day!”

At every stage of the planning process and during the whirlwind of the actual day, he made things actively easier for us and demonstrated himself to be not only a true professional in the wedding arena, but a fantastic individual who effortlessly blended into the dynamics of our family and friends. Already, from only what we've seen of the photos so far, I am awestruck at the way Daniel brought out a type of smile from me that I have no other photos of. I've been told I have a soft smile and can be somewhat self conscious when posing for photos, but Daniel erased every bit of that feeling. The entire day was magical, and I can't imagine anyone else being able to capture what he did. My family and friends had a great time during photos, he made us laugh, he made us comfortable, and he captured it all. Simply put, it was a blast, and he was a key part of it all.

We planned our wedding in less than 90 days & Misha was there to guide us every step of the way...giving us the best recommendations! The entire Wedding flowed seamlessly thanks to the amazing team work between all of our vendors & the venue! Overall great experience! We received amazing quality work, with great communication & flexibility. We were incredible fortunate to have found and booked Misha and the Quality Media photography & videography team! Bonus: Don't be fooled, Misha knows how to break it down on the dancefloor too.”

Michael Anthony Photography

McKinney, TX
  • Fine art style

I'm Michael Anthony, a wedding photographer based in Dallas–Fort Worth, with a second studio in Los Angeles. I shoot across DFW — Dallas, Fort Worth, McKinney, Frisco, Prosper, Plano — and travel for couples marrying farther afield. Nine countries and 1,000+ weddings so far. My approach is editorial and unobtrusive. I document the day rather than direct it, because I want your images to make you feel the moment again, not simply see it. I take a limited number of weddings each year so each one gets real attention. Tell me your date and venue and I'll confirm availability right away.

“As the head of a wedding floristry business, I've collaborated with numerous photographers, yet my experience with Michael Anthony Photography is worth a special mention. Michael, the driving force behind the lens, brings an unparalleled blend of artistry and finesse to his photography. My experience with Michael was nothing short of extraordinary. His ability to capture the subtle interplay of light and color in our floral arrangements was mesmerizing. He didn't just photograph flowers; he told their story, weaving them into the narrative of the wedding day with a sensitivity and grace that is rare to find. Jen, Michael's wife, brought an equally impressive level of skill and dedication to the table. Her meticulous attention to detail ensured that none of the intricate elements in our floral designs went unnoticed. She worked with a gentle, unobtrusive approach, which allowed her to capture stunning, candid images of the arrangements in their natural wedding setting. She captured a ton of detail images for me that I can use in my marketing. The synergy between Michael and Jen created an environment where creativity flourished. It was clear they understood and respected the importance of every detail in a wedding, especially the floral elements. Their work not only highlighted our designs but also enhanced them, providing a fresh and beautiful perspective. Awarding Michael Anthony Photography a 5-star review is an easy decision. Their professional yet personable approach, combined with their exceptional photographic talent, sets them apart in the wedding industry. I wholeheartedly recommend them to any couple in search of a photography team that will capture their wedding day with elegance, artistry, and an attentive eye for every beautiful detail.”

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.
