Sound Originals did a fantastic job photographing our wedding! Ari and Ali were very professional and they understood how to set up good shots. I'm amazed by how good the lighting was in most of the photos, even in some rooms at the church that weren't as well lit. There are a few photos I wish had been full body rather than cut off at the ankles, oh well. At the end of the night when our coverage had ended before the wedding did, they waited till the end of a song before saying goodbye instead of interrupting, which we greatly appreciated.

Once Like a Spark Wedding Co. was a fantastic choice for our wedding photography and DJ. I had first reached out to Darcy before I had even booked a venue - I just loved the editing style of the photos. Our lead Denida and and second shooter Will were friendly, communicative, and incredibly helpful throughout the entire wedding day. They kept us on schedule, if not ahead of it, and Denida even showed us some incredible photos as she was taking them. Will captured great shots of the groom and groomsmen, and also provided excellent second angles. I am so thankful we got to work with them. We also bundled our photography with the DJ, who was also wonderful - DJ Floyd kept the energy up all night, mixed the music perfectly, and checked in to make sure everything was going well. With OLAS, we were able to capture so many great memories and beautiful photos that we'll cherish forever.

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
I can't say enough about Justin! We had an amazing experience working with him for our elopement. He played a VERY important role in our big day, not only as our photographer, but as our witness, sole ceremony attendee, hype man, and what felt like a friend by the end of the day. He went above and beyond our expectations, and our photo session with him was a highlight of our wedding experience. Justin is amazing at his craft, as evidenced by his work. He also has an intimate knowledge of the DC monuments, museums, and various venues that offer great photo ops, so he was very helpful in selecting the Library of Congress as the primary setting for our session post-ceremony. Once we were there, he knew all of the best rooms, corners, and angles to get the best shots. He also identified a few impromptu stops on our path to get shots with the Capitol and the Washington Monument in the background. I couldn't be happier that we were able to get such amazing photos in front of the most iconic spots in DC. Beyond the beautiful photos, Justin has an infectious energy and is so much fun to be around. He will put you at ease while coaching you through poses, and he makes the whole thing so much fun. We're so happy to have had Justin as part of our day, and to have such beautiful memories to look back on!

Awarded Best of Zola
We were so pleased with Joy Photo and Video for our wedding day. From the start, their communication was helpful, timely, and clear. They were able to capture everything we wanted in both photos and video, and helped us stay organized throughout the day. While our original video was not quite what we expected, we had a great phone call with them to explain exactly what we wanted changed, and the final video turned out amazing. The photos were also fantastic - we couldn't be happier with the quality and value we received from Joy Photo and Video. We highly recommend them to any couple looking for a budget-friendly but high-quality photography and videography team for their wedding.

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.
