We absolutely LOVE the way our photos turned out. We had two photographers and both of them were very nice to work with. They got great detail shots and candid photos, which was important to me. All of our guests were captured in photos throughout the night. The process of filling out the questionnaires prior to the event was easy and straightforward. They have a portal you get access to with lots of information as well as an easy way to contact your team. I could not be happier with our photographers!

From the moment we met Anthony, we knew we were going to have the best experience possible for our wedding day. He has such an amazing, vibrant personality and brought incredible energy to every moment of the day. He instantly made everyone feel comfortable in front of the camera, which made such a difference in both the experience and the final photos. Anthony truly has an eye for photography and knew exactly what shots to capture and where to capture them. He worked so naturally within our venue and hotel space, finding the perfect locations and lighting without us ever having to worry about a thing. Beyond being an incredible photographer, he also helped keep our timeline moving smoothly while still making sure my husband and I fully enjoyed every moment of our day. He was supportive, organized, calming, and genuinely so much fun to be around. He made sure to capture every shot I wanted and so many beautiful candid moments that I’ll treasure forever. Our videographer, Bogdan, was equally phenomenal. He worked seamlessly alongside Anthony the entire day, and together they truly felt like the perfect team. Bogdan was professional, calm, and incredibly attentive, always making sure every important moment was captured beautifully on video. He knew exactly what to do without ever making anything feel forced or overwhelming, and his calming presence made us feel completely at ease throughout the day. Timeless was absolutely incredible to work with from start to finish. They offer amazing packages with so many customizable add-ons, and their entire team is professional, flexible, responsive, and genuinely invested in making your wedding experience special.

From the moment we met and signed with Duet we were so happy!! Hanel was our main point of contact and kept us well in the loop up until the very last minute before the wedding. I had a lot of shots and things I wanted to make sure were captured and he graciously took note of all of them and made sure to get every single one!! Every single picture from the morning, to the church to the reception was perfect. They made sure to get all the family shots, solo shots and such beautiful candid shots. My grandmother unfortunately was unable to attend our wedding, which was devastating to me. The team made sure we were able to go back to get photos with her at my house and I am so grateful for that! I also had a very specific vision for the highlight video and they out did themselves with what they created. All the footage was amazing, they used a drone to capture outside footage which was incredible My husband and I are so happy we chose Duet and we are so happy we have these wonderful memories of our favorite day.

My fiancé gave me 3 photographers to look at for our wedding. When I saw Tomi, even my picky side was sold. His photography work is amazing and his communication with us before the wedding was great! He even helped us with our timeline and outline for photos. We had a big venue and were worried about sticking to our timeline and getting the photos we wanted. He took the photos so quickly and got so many photos of us! Many of his ideas took us out of our comfort zone, but ended up being some incredible shots, and he made it extremely fun to do them. One of the best parts of our wedding was getting to have a little bit of Tomi’s time!

We loved having Christy and Alex capture our special day. They were very thorough and helpful during the entire process making sure they understood us as people and our vision. There was great communication and we had multiple calls to go over timelines, expectations, ideas… My husband has worked alongside them previously and had no doubt that he would want them to be the ones to capture these precious memories. I followed them on instagram for years and loved the simple beauty of the moments they captured but also their creativity. Working with them wedding day was a breeze! They followed our lead but also provided cues and direction. I absolutely hate taking pictures but my husband lives for the drama. So they did a wonderful job balancing our personalities and comfort levels. Our friends and family also felt comfortable and had a great time during portraits. They were so amazing with the kiddos! Christy was so great with my sisters and helping them manage my dress and Alex was great with suggesting really fun poses and kept everything fun. Now for the photos…. OBSESSED. I cannot even express how happy we were with the photos. They look amazing, which is a testament of how talented they are. But I was even more impressed with how they captured our day. The photos are such an honest representation of our experience that we were transported back to that day going through the gallery: the colors and magic of the day; the love of our family and friends; the beautiful moments we shared as a couple; and the loads of fun we had at the end of the night. There are no words to state how much that means to us. There are also many moments that surprised us looking through the photos. Like seeing our first kiss at the end of the ceremony, little fun ideas during couples portraits, and the shots of our details!!! I especially appreciated all the pictures of us and our loved ones throughout the day that we didn’t plan but will cherish forever. Weddings can be a lot to take in with all the stress of planning and the emotions of the day. We are so grateful to have had such a smooth experience. We truly appreciate people like Christy and Alex who honored the things that were so important to us and lent their talents to capture this amazing day.

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
Justin was the first vendor that we booked for our wedding- before the venue, before anything else and it was probably the best decision that I made in the entirety of our wedding planning. Justin was such a pleasure to work with from the start and went above and beyond to make sure that my partner and I were comfortable in the run-up to the wedding and on our wedding day (which is saying a lot, because my partner hates taking/being in pictures). On the wedding day, Justin was even more incredible than I could have imagined. He made us both feel at ease the entire wedding, making us laugh and seamlessly capturing amazing pictures along the way. All night and since the wedding, we've had family and friends tell us how incredible Justin was- his easygoing, friendly demeanor made an already really special day even better and we are so grateful to have him as our photographer. The pictures he captured are stunning (no surprise given the work we'd seen of his before) but I was blown away by the candid moments he was able to capture that we will cherish forever. Again- I can't recommend Justin highly enough and will forever be grateful for both the way he was able to capture the best moments of such an important day and for him being such a wonderful person.

As a very formal venue, having a professional and talented photographer was crucial, and Kostromina Production exceeded our expectations. We loved working with Alena, she made us feel so comfortable and confident, and the photos they captured were truly stunning. Alena and her team were fun, knew exactly what to say to put us at ease, and were incredibly responsive. Their communication style made the whole process seamless. The quality of their work was amazing - they had a great eye for detail, knew exactly how to set up the perfect lighting and pose everyone, and kept us on track with the timeline so we could enjoy our special day.

Rae did such a great job on our photos, both engagement and wedding. Her photos are amazing, and she really catered to our vision for what we wanted out of them. She made us feel so comfortable and confident in the photos even though we never do things like this. By far the most supportive photographer I’ve ever interacted with! Just as a person, she is extremely thoughtful of your time and does the most she possibly can for you. Her support and prayer was such a wonderful presence during our wedding.

  • Editorial style
  • Starts at $8,000

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.

We feel so lucky that Emma was our photographer, it was one of the best decisions we could have made! We are so in love with our wedding pictures and were blown away by Emma’s talent. Emma has such a gift for capturing every moment as it happens. She was game to follow us all over the city, making our vision come to life. Plus, she has such a calming and assuring presence which is a huge bonus on wedding day. So glad we did the film add on, so many of our favorite shots were on film. We can’t recommend Emma enough!

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.
