From our first conversation with Allison Lauryn Photography, we knew we'd found the right fit. She walked us through everything step-by-step, answering all our questions and getting back to us quickly whenever we needed her. What really impressed us was how she helped us plan out the entire day—she suggested where to take photos, which family combos to capture, and created a timeline so we didn't have to stress about any of it on our wedding day. The results are absolutely stunning. Her cinematic style and eye for detail turned our day into something magical, and the gorgeous pictures she delivered exceeded what we imagined. We'd recommend Allison to any couple looking for a photographer who is both professional and genuinely invested in making your wedding day special.

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.
