We could not have asked for a better photography and videography team for our wedding reception! Bayo was truly a mind reader — constantly in the right place at the right time and somehow captured every special moment without ever feeling staged or forced.

I had the best experience with OLAS! From engagement photos to the wedding, Graham was our photographer and he was excellent! He is super quick and officiant. We wanted to make sure we would have ample time with our guests at our wedding and not waste too much time on photos and Graham made that happen. He was so quick it almost didn't seem like I was even ready for the photo to be taken, but sure enough when my sneak peaks came back, they were all breath taking and amazing, I can't even choose one. He knows what he is doing, the right lighting, the right camera settings, and captures the most special moments that we will forever cherish and relive through for the rest of our lives.

I would give Scarlet Oak Studio 10 stars if I could. They did my sister’s wedding in 2017 and I knew I wanted them for my wedding. Aaron, Lizzy, and the team were so much fun to work with and the videos/photos are stunning. I continually got compliments from family and guests about how professional, knowledgeable, and supportive the Scarlet Oak team was on my wedding day. I had dreamed of my wedding day for 25 years, Scarlet Oak Studio has given me the gift of preserving those memories on film.

Victoria was absolutely the best photographer we could have ever imagined. We hired her for our wedding and her professionalism and organization went above and beyond. We got the raw photos delivered promptly while we were on our honeymoon which was a delight to look through together on our trip. From there she edited photos that we thought would have been unsalvageable because of how dark they were, and made them some of our favorite photos from the whole day. If you’re looking for high quality photos and a high quality vendor, lightfall imagery is the way to go!

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.
