We are so happy that we went with Sound Originals! The process was extremely smooth and their online platform was so easy to use and update. Everyone on the team was transparent and helpful. We wanted to add another photographer a month before our wedding and Sound Originals made it happen. After my wedding I was able to change the editing to timeless from emerald after realizing I selected the wrong style. Our photographers were extremely professional and easy to work with and we cannot recommend this company enough!

From the moment we first reached out to Evoke Photography & Video, their communication was great. The photographer, Sarah, got everything done that needed to be done to capture our special day.

Overall, working with Timeless TX at our wedding was such an amazing experience! We had 2 photographers and a videographer from them, and the whole process of working with them was so seamless. Our first shooter, Krystal R, also did an engagement shoot with us and working with her was wonderful and super easy. Personally when I get pictures taken, I struggle with knowing how to pose in a way that’s photogenic, but Krystal guided us through that super well. She also is super knowledgeable and helped us pick a spot to take pictures at after telling her the vibes we were going for, which was super helpful. On the day of the wedding, we also had a second shooter, Marlenne N, who was also amazing. If you’re contemplating getting a second photographer, I really could not recommend it enough. Having both of them there was great because it felt like we were able to see our wedding from so many different perspectives and all of the photos came out beautifully. Marlenne also was super professional and helpful, and also had great vision for how photos would look as well. Another huge plus for us was that she was able to speak Spanish to my husband’s family, overall it made things move a lot easier and my husband’s family really appreciated it. Our videographer, Cristian was also great. He worked really well with the photography team to make the entire process super efficient, and was also very friendly gave very clear instructions for how he wanted the video to turn out. Overall, the entire team I had was wonderful and I was so happy to have them. The photos were also edited beautifully and my husband and I are so excited with how they came out. I could not recommend them enough!

  • Photojournalistic style

Hi there! We're the team behind Duet Photography & Video. We're a collection of wedding photographers, filmmakers, designers, and editors. We each have our own story of how we've come to be a part of this incredibly field of wedding journalism. As individual as we are, we're all bound by the same love for our craft – the artistry of blending documentary journalism with stunning, creative vision. With over a thousand weddings under our collective belts, we've photographed and filmed weddings of every shape and size imaginable. We can't wait to document your wedding as well!

Awarded Best of Zola
11/10. Work with Duet. My wife and I got married in October 2025. We worked with Mike (lead photo), Paul (backup), and Hanel (point person / coordination). We also did an engagement shoot with Mike in NYC's Central Park in May '25. We also opted to have Duet run a photo booth at our wedding (recommend!). We were so lucky to work with Duet for a number of reasons: Communication - from the get-go, it was incredibly easy to work with Duet. Hanel is so on top of things and we were never waiting for an answer, in fact he was most often proactively reminding us of things and helping us think through things like day-of timing. If you haven't yet planned your wedding, responsiveness and trustworthiness in a vendor are huge pros. The photography itself - we consistently love the shots Duet has taken of us and our loved ones. I don't know much about photography, but we love the style, framing, and whatever finishing touches they use. Photos feel highly professional without crossing over into over-touched or too artsy. My wife and I were worried about where we would take photos on the day-of, to the point we were touring around near the venue and greater Brooklyn to find scenic spots. In the end, it rained for much of our wedding day, and we didn't have time to detour anyway - no problem, of course, because Mike and Paul made very ordinary backgrounds look wonderful with their photo magic, and were creative with shooting indoors and under umbrellas to make sure we still got a great first look and pre-wedding shots. Comfortability - we were really comfortable working with Mike. As mentioned, we did a post-engagement shoot in the park, more so to gain familiarity with Mike than for the pictures themselves (though they turned out great!). My wife and I are low key and I know I commonly feel uncomfortable having my photo taken. This was not an issue at all with Duet. Mike knew how to match our vibe and was never pushy - this was huge. Conservative approach - I don't fully understand the mechanics behind it, but my understanding is that Duet backs up every photo they take as it's taken so that there is an extra copy in case of emergency. They also do a lot of self-lighting for shots, which meant that while our venue of course mattered, and looked great anyway, they could have really made anything look nice with their lighting work. Pricing / value - while not the most important consideration, we felt Duet delivered a ton of value at a very reasonable price. Getting married in NYC is never going to be cheap, but we feel like we got the absolute best value for our money.

Jason Rhee Photography, LLC.

Northvale, NJ
  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $2,200

Jason Rhee Photography is a wedding photography company based in Northvale, New Jersey. Jason’s 20 years of experience combined with his attentiveness toward his clients results in photos that reflect the true essence of each couple. He believes that encouraging a lighthearted atmosphere during your photoshoot is the best way to capture all of those natural and romantic moments. This photographer covers the New Jersey and New York tri-state areas.

Awarded Best of Zola
If you're looking for the photographer to capture all the love and joy you feel with your special person, I'm here to tell you, this is it. You found him. Does the idea of spending thousands of dollars for wedding photos scare you, because you can't see the photos right away, no refunds, no exchanges, no returns, and no do-overs, you are not alone. Do the scary thing. Invest your money on a photographer, but make sure you book Jason Rhee. I had a visual aesthetic in mind, but I also wasnt sure how to describe it. As a hobby photographer who mostly takes pictures of her dogs, or snaps pretty scenery and yummy food on vacation, I didnt know how to find to find somebody to capture our special day with the same romantic, yet slightly silly POV. I follow David Suh on IG, because he makes it look fun and easy to get photos you can proudly display, but we couldnt afford to fly him out for our wedding. We wanted somebody who gave similar energy. Instead, I spent hours on Google, Zola, Wedding Wire, the Knot, Reddit, Instagram, and reached out to Facebook groups like Subtle Asian Weddings and Ologies for inspiration. After weeks of pouring through lists of local photographers, reading price packages, scouring albums/portfolios/pages trying to find examples to describe the aesthetic I was looking for, and looking for photographers who evoke the same emotion, I found Jason Rhee. We set up a meeting, he passed the vibe check with flying colors. We had 6 months to plan our reception. We were on a budget. We needed somebody familiar with photographing not one, but three dogs at a wedding. We had an intimate (under 40ppl) wedding, with a LOT of camera-shy introverts (ourselves included!), and we wanted to get amazing pictures but have no experience posing in front of the camera. Where do we put our hands? What is our best angle? Is there enough light at the venue? Should I be serious, serene, or laughing? Don't worry, book Jason Rhee. Jason made the process of working together very easy and it felt like a true collaboration. He helped us plan within our budget. He was as invested as we were in creating our timeline, ensuring we had time for the photos we wanted, and understanding our wedding photography priorities. He provided prompts!!! He also coordinated with our videographer. Everything was clearly outlined in the contract. Our teaser album was done about two weeks after the reception (rest of the album should be done in another two weeks, which is amazing turnaround time considering the hundreds if not thousands of photos taken that day) I’ve always been self-conscious in front of a camera, but Jason was the best at boosting my confidence and posing us in a way that felt natural and look beautiful. We had many laughs along the way. Sadly, one of pups passed shortly before the big day, so we had to make it through one of the saddest months, alongside the chaos of planning our big day. Jason navigated it all with grace and went the extra mile to make sure we got all the photos we were hoping for. We got so many compliments (both during and after the wedding) from friends and family.

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 is absolutely AMAZING at what he does. My fiancé and I can’t recommend him enough! His communication and planning is 10/10. We let him know the locations we wanted to shoot at and met him day of the shoot - he jumped right into guiding us through the session (we had no idea what we were doing, but Justin made us feel so comfortable). We laughed through the entire shoot! Justin is very personable and friendly. Justin sent previews of some photos the SAME day we did the shoot. We were in love with the previews! Shortly after, we got our full portfolio - to say we are obsessed is an understatement. All of the photos are beautiful, and Justin perfectly captured us. If you’re looking for a photographer who makes you feel comfortable, is great at communicating, and delivers stunning photos - look no further than Justin.

She guided us effortlessly, kept things running smoothly, and made us feel completely cared for the entire day. The photos we’ve gotten so far are stunning! She has a true gift for capturing real emotion and genuine moments. We are beyond grateful we chose her and can’t recommend her enough.

We hired Scarlet Oak Studio for my son's wedding and I don't think I can leave a better review than the email I sent them after we got the pics and video back... "ELLI!!!! These are better than I could have ever imagined!!! We all got teary-eyed last night watching the video and looking through all the amazing photos. And Kaitlyn commented again how great the whole team was to work with and how warm but professional you were. You managed to get beautiful photos and video from a family who is used to awkwardness and scrunchy-faced smiles. You captured real personalities, humor, tenderness, and joy in these moments. We will be forever grateful!"

Vic was the best photographer my husband and I have ever worked with!!! We hired her for our wedding and she was so professional and fun to work with. My family, bridal party and guest loved her! Vic had us laughing the entire time and made us feel comfortable with posing and suggested us the best ideas too. After a week or 2 after the wedding we got our photos and they were breathtaking!! Most photos I didn’t realized she captured since she was so quick on her feet. It looks like there was 3 photographers since she got all angles from the ceremony, speeches, and dances. We are so impressed by how amazing she is. We highly recommend her to photograph any event you have and want to make sure everything is captured!

There are no words to express our gratitude. She was able to capture the most beautiful wedding and engagement photos. I have never known how to pose for a photograph and Allison made it easy. Her and her team are always punctual and professional. I hoped the wedding photos would come beautiful but they are even better than I ever could have imagined.

Hi, I'm Candace and I have a thing for weddings! I didn't start as a wedding photographer, I actually started as a BIRTH photographer surprisingly! I was addicted to capturing real and raw moments for families to have and relive over and over. I actually was nervous for weddings, which is why I didn't start doing them. One thing led to another and as people started asking me if I WOULD shoot their wedding, I decided to give it a try. Fast-forward to dozens and dozens of weddings later and I am obsessed!! I am a full fledged wedding photographer and I LOVE capturing every single moment of your day. The addiction is real!!

Candace is AMAZING! We had her photograph our engagement and wedding photos. She was a YES right away because she was immediately happy to capture us with our fur baby for engagement photos! Fast forward to wedding day, ALL of the photos were SO SO SO beautiful, carefully crafted detail shots, and just so perfect! Candace throughout both events was super friendly and personable, but still professional. She was amazing at corralling our large families for group photos, and seamlessly moving around the wedding day, and capturing everything! We liked how she sent a questionnaire a few weeks ahead of the wedding to ask us about minor details that she might not be aware of, and any photo inspiration to make sure we were on the same page. My husband and I love all of the photos Candace took and are so excited to have them forever! We are so grateful Candace was our photographer and you won't regret working with her!!! 3

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.
