Los Angeles, CA
  • Classic style
  • Starts at $2,000

Photography has always been a lifelong passion of mine, I picked up my first camera as a gift from my dad when I was 14 years old. Never in a million years would I have thought that my lifelong hobby could eventually become my career. I focused on my future, working my way through college and grad school to achieve my license to practice, but a part of me realized that I wanted to pursue a career that allowed me to go on adventures and meet a lot of new people. So in 2019, I took that risk, changed my hours from full time to part time and put more focus on my photography. I booked my first gig later that year and have never looked back.

Awarded Best of Zola
We absolutely love working with Randall! He has been our go-to family photographer for years, capturing everything from my sisters' and cousins' special moments to my graduation and most recently, my wedding. Randall is incredibly easy to get along with, always professional, and super responsive. I never had to worry about a thing, he came fully prepared for our big day and made the whole experience smooth and enjoyable. He has a great way of making everyone feel comfortable, which really shows in the beautiful photos he takes. We will continue to hire and recommend Randall every chance we get. He’s awesome, and I 100% recommend him to anyone looking for stunning, heartfelt photography!

Maya Papaya Pictures

Phoenix, AZ
  • Classic style
  • Starts at $4,200

So here's the tea... I'm a wise-cracking, extroverted Capricorn who excels at corralling your rowdy family for photos and charming Aunt Carol, the self-deemed professional iPad photographer. Ever since I was little, huddled on the couch with my five siblings rewatching The Lion King, I knew that I wanted to be a storyteller. Growing up in a creative household, I studied a wide range of arts before settling on filmmaking. I envisioned in my head that I would be the next Spielberg, but after shooting my first wedding in 2013 all my plans changed.

Maya is truly THE BEST photographer in Arizona!! From the very first moment you meet her, the joy and passion that she brings is contagious! How much she cares is not only evident in the photographs she captured, but also in every interaction and step leading up to our wedding day. She asked detailed questions to get to know us better and help us plan, listened without judgement, was our biggest cheerleader, and provided support that we didn't even know we needed in the moment. Photography was one of the most important things for us on our wedding day - to have every moment, emotion, and memory captured forever - and before meeting Maya, was something I was nervous about getting "right". But after meeting Maya, those feelings were replaced with excitement! And now after our wedding, I can genuinely say we made the absolute best decision!! She not only captured our engagement and wedding perfectly, but added so much to our wedding day!! She pours her heart into her work, surpassing every hope I had, going above and beyond what any other photographer would ever do (literally)! When it comes to one of the most special days of your life, like your wedding, Maya is the person that you want there!

My photographer and videographer were absolutely amazing ! They were very flexible. Super officiant. Polite. Captured every moment and adapted to what was going on. I loved having them around the whole day. They never got in the way. They gave us our time and space. I would use them over and over again if I could. AMAZING EXPERIENCE

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.
