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.

“George Street answered my wedding day prayers! As a NYC bride I instantly got sticker shock with the starting prices of NY based wedding photography (that didn’t even include videography). I searched high and low for something more affordable, however I wasn’t willing to sacrifice quality as wedding photography was a top priority for the big day. My dreams came true when I found George Street as they had reasonable prices and a wide variety of local talent. George Street let me view the portfolios of several photographers, they all had stunning photojournalistic style photos. We ultimately selected our photographer who ended up taking the most gorgeous and sentimental photos. Our album is stunning and George Street finished editing the photos so much faster than quoted. The videography team was also extremely professional and talented. We managed to get a social teaser, highlight reel, and full length feature video from George Street. We cherish all moments captured by George Street! Our entire team was easy to work with. Our wedding was on a military base which required some extra documentation and George Street came through with ease. We are extremely appreciative of George Street’s services and cannot recommend them highly enough especially to fellow NYC brides and grooms!”

Original Weddings Photo & Video is a team of EMMY award winning storytellers. Our photography and videography packages are tailored to you, customizable and perfect for every wedding. We offer engagement photography, wedding photos, highlight films, wedding coverage and more.

“Our wedding was filled with whimsy and charm - Original Weddings was able to capture that energy in video and film, so we can revisit that experience for a lifetime. Thank you for your attention to detail and level of care - we are overjoyed with the results! EXPERIENCE - We interviewed a few photography companies to compare prices, offerings, and aesthetic appeal; we ultimately decided on OW because they offered the best rates for videography and photography packages. From the beginning, the customer experience was favorable with multiple opportunities for touchpoints and planning. Their pricing is transparent and straight-forward; the add-ons will be tempting, and it will cost you. However, we appreciated that our interactions with the office staff weren't sales driven; they shared the options for add-ons without it being pushy. All communication and planning details are handled through a personalized portal and its the easiest way to ask questions and relay changes to the photography team. If you are someone that is not particularly organized, you'll love this feature and the imbedded questionnaires. They'll serve as a guide to crafting the look, identifying highlights to be captured, and a space for notes to the team working with you on the day of. During the wedding day, everything went smoothly and everyone was professional and personable. Their presence didn't feel intrusive and they expertly worked around our timeline to maximize efficiency. RESULTS - Our gallery was a fantastic mix of curated moments and candid memories. Each cluster of photos creates a timestamp throughout the day and it was a welcome reminder of all the small details of the wedding that can be easily missed among the shuffle of it all. In our package we stuck with 8 hours of photography and videography; electing afterwards to request the raw footage for an additional charge. I believe the quality of the photos and videos is phenomenal for the price - something similar may be double the price, especially if you're looking for more aesthetic/Instagramish vibe - we went traditional and it exceeded our expectations. SHOUTOUTS - I have to give special kudos to the team that worked directly with us. For planning and logistics, Sarah and Gabriella were attentive and quick to respond to questions. Sarah was very sweet and made our wedding feel like a priority and not just one of many they're juggling. I appreciate her collaboration on capturing the specifics to ensure even the smallest details were relayed to the team; and the results speak for themselves. The true heroes of the day were Pricilla, Sanaa, and Collin; they were the team tasked with documenting the magic of the day in a fashion that captured our essence as a couple. They quickly became a highlight of the experience - we hit it off immediately and their energy was uplifting and reassuring. We are eternally grateful for their patience with our families and the lighthearted approach they took to dealing with grumpier relatives. Overall, it was a beautiful day, and we are overjoyed to have been paired with this team because they did a phenomenal job.”

“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.”

On the day of our wedding, when the weather unexpectedly changed and threw off our timeline, Allison remained calm and professional, quickly adapting to the new circumstances and finding creative ways to capture beautiful photos around our venue. She was also a rockstar during the family photo portion of the day, efficiently directing everyone to ensure we got all the necessary shots.

We are a small studio dedicated to reliably capturing those moments that matter most. We're big believers that everyone deserves capture they'd enjoy for a lifetime. So whether photo, video, or both we always give the kind of capture only a team can give.

“Scarlet Oak, how do we love thee? Let us count the ways! Working with Scarlet Oak for our wedding videography was an absolute dream come true from start to finish, resulting in a mind blowing wedding video that has made everyone who's watched it cry. Everyone at the company has great communication, is genuine and down to earth, and made us feel like our wedding was important. From the moment we chatted with Aaron, we had an instant connection and knew they were a special team and that we wanted to work with them. We had many questions and Catherine was quick to answer them all via text, which we greatly appreciated! We decided on the standard video package with a team of 3 at our wedding and added on drone footage (highly recommend if you have an outdoor ceremony! Particularly in the mountains). Once we booked Scarlet Oak, Julie kept in touch throughout the process to make sure they knew what our vision was and to check-in with us, which made us feel very taken care of during the stressful wedding planning process. Aaron, Kerstin, and Darcie were so fabulous to work with on our wedding day! They had the warmest, most welcoming energy that was exactly what we were hoping for on our wedding day. I cannot express this enough. They made our wedding party and families feel comfortable while being on camera, made me (the bride) feel like a stunning goddess, and brought such positivity to the day that it honestly felt like it would have been lacking without their presence there! Aaron is top notch with a heart of gold, and we could not have been happier with our communication with him throughout this journey! When we received our highlight video and our additional footage, we were absolutely blown away. The quality, the storytelling, and the expert editing were all above our wildest expectations. We were moved to tears MANY times while watching and honestly felt like we were in our very own Hallmark movie, in the best way. They captured every part of the day perfectly. Shoutout to Radhia, office manager extraordinaire, who made us feel like we were still special even after our wedding was over! The Scarlet Oak team is beyond perfect and we are so grateful to have worked with them. By far the best part of our wedding is having these videos to cherish forever. BOOK SCARLET OAK IMMEDIATELY!
