Hiring Eivan’s for our wedding was a great decision! Our photographer Gregory I was professional and FUN! He kept us smiling throughout the day with his quirky personality! My fiancé does not care for photos so I’m happy we had someone working with us who could make him comfortable. He made sure to get multiple images even if it was just “one more”, it was never one more! We had actually hired a different photographer and we replaced him with this company. Worth the stress and money! If I had any tips for the company, it would be to have your photographers give a 30 minute warning before their contracted time is up. Weddings are so busy for the bride and groom, it is very easy to lose track of time. I think clients would appreciate a little heads up just so they can try and capture any photos they may have missed. Other than that, I have ZERO complaints. Such an amazing experience! 10/10 highly recommend :)

Awarded Best of Zola
We could not be happier with our experience with Original Weddings. Photography was one of our top priorities, and choosing their highest photography package was truly one of the best decisions we made for our wedding. It was important to us to capture all the memories of the day, which is why we wanted full-day coverage and a second shooter. We are so glad we did. Nothing was missed. From different angles during the ceremony to candid guest reactions we did not get to see in the moment, every detail was captured, both big and small. The engagement shoot, which was included in our package, made such a difference. It helped us learn how to pose, allowed our photographer to get to know our personalities, and gave us the chance to be creative together. By the time the wedding day arrived, nothing felt awkward or forced. We felt completely comfortable and had a lot of fun. On the wedding day, Ashton gave gentle direction that felt natural, fun, and creative, while still allowing moments to unfold organically. Our second shooter, Solomon, was equally wonderful. He was creative, personable, and a joy to be around. We truly felt the love and care that both Ashton and Solomon put into their craft. We also chose to receive our photos in all three editing styles they offer, along with black and white images, which gave us so much variety and made the gallery feel incredibly thoughtful and complete. Even more impressive, we received our full gallery back in just four weeks. Getting our photos back so quickly made the experience even more meaningful. It allowed us to share them with my husband’s grandmother before she passed away, which is something we will always be grateful for. We have friends who were married a month before us and are still waiting on their photos, so this level of care and turnaround truly stood out. Looking through our photos feels like reliving the day with our favorite people, all the love, joy, and emotion captured so beautifully. If photography is a top priority for you, this is the team to book. We cannot recommend Original Weddings enough.

We had such a great experience with our photography and videography team! We worked with two photographers, Evelyn & Geneva, and one videographer, Bogdan. All three were incredibly professional, kind, and patient—especially when it came to wrangling our families for group shots. From the very beginning, the communication was thoughtful and organized. We had initial and week-of calls with Evelyn and Bogdan, which helped align our vision and made us feel confident going into the day. We sent Evelyn ideas and poses we liked beforehand, and she was able to recreate many of them throughout the day. Our photos are absolutely beautiful and we’re so excited to see our wedding video as well!!

The process of finding a wedding photographer and videographer, as any Bride knows, can be extremely stressful. We took quite a few meetings before we sat down with Hanel for our first video call. From the start, I stressed to him that as an interracial couple, it was extremely important to us that every single person, regardless of their skin color, be captured well in the photos and videos with lighting that worked for them. Hanel assured us that the team would be able to accomplish this and even sent us a gallery for reference, which ultimately helped us make our decision. When we received our photos, we were thrilled to see this goal was met and exceeded. Every photo, every person, every moment was beautifully and thoughtfully captured. We had the opportunity to do an engagement shoot with Mike before our wedding which was wonderful. We both felt a little uncomfortable in front of the camera, but Mike knew exactly what to say to capture those intimate moments. He made the experience feel natural when it was anything but! On our wedding day, we had the same fantastic experience. Mike and his team knew exactly what to do and they helped guide the way. They showed up and got right to work on detail shots and set up the room to look amazing for our getting ready shots. The photography assistant did the same for the men where they were getting ready. As a wedding singer myself, I have seen far too many photographers insert themselves into intimate ceremony moments. Mike and his team were extremely respectful at the Church, yet still able to capture the important moments! We got married on an extremely cold November day, right after daylight savings time so we didn’t have a ton of time between the ceremony and reception to capture daylight photos since we decided not to do a first look. Once again, Mike and the team worked efficiently to get all the appropriate photos and even got some stunning Fall foliage pictures. They were very good at scoping out the locations for beautiful backdrops which we see in all of our wedding gallery photos. They got amazing outside evening photos at Westbury Manor as well, even though it was so dark by the time we got there. When I was stressed towards the end of the night that we might not capture every planned moment (my husband and I sang an opera duet at the wedding reception on top of everything else!) they worked with the DJ to make sure everything flowed and all moments were captured and we did not feel rushed. Overall, the team was wonderful. They knew exactly what to do to make sure every moment was captured beautifully and everyone looked amazing! I cannot recommend Duet Photo and Video enough. We will cherish these memories for the rest of our lives!

We’re so glad we chose Jason. We can’t believe how beautiful our photos are. We’re both pretty awkward people and we always look silly in photos. He was so fun and encouraging. He captured every moment beautifully. We’ve never looked so graceful in our lives. We had our wedding at a campground and he arrived early and worked with us to get pictures of our friends and families in that casual setting in our casual clothes. In these pictures and in the photos of our wedding, he made beautiful use of the scenery. He got to know us as a couple and really understood our vision. He gave detailed directions but the photos still look organic and spontaneous. He was also so kind and accessible through the whole process. We didn’t have a planner and he helped us figure out our wedding itinerary even though that was definitely not his job. He has a ton of wedding experience and it shows.

I cannot recommend MyStache Photography enough! From start to finish, Lauren was everything you’d hope for in a wedding photographer—friendly, communicative, professional, and incredibly helpful. She took the time to truly listen to what I wanted while also offering thoughtful suggestions that made the whole experience even better. On our wedding day, things were busy, and we were feeling both hangry and tired. I wanted to stop taking photos entirely, but Lauren kindly suggested I take a quick snack break, which was exactly what I needed. After that, we were back on track and managed to capture all the shots I had hoped for! I loved how she guided us through every photoshoot moment, making it flow well and stress-free. My husband and I aren’t really “photo people,” and normally if we could take fewer pictures, we absolutely would—but Lauren was our biggest cheerleader, keeping us comfortable and making the process enjoyable. She worked quickly and efficiently, all while ensuring the photos were of the highest quality. The end result? Absolutely stunning photos! Lauren captured every special moment beautifully, and I’m so grateful to have these memories preserved forever.

Hello, I'm Tomi, a Wedding Photographer with over 500+ weddings under my belt. I live in Broomfield, Colorado with my amazing wife and my dog Teddy. I capture authentic, creative and emotionally driven wedding moments. My photography style has a mixture of unique candid photos combined with some traditionally posed shots, all edited with the more warm and true-to-life color editing style.

Awarded Best of Zola
We would highly recommend anyone that is considering working with Tomi. We first heard about him and his work through other online recommendations, and quickly enjoyed the ease of his website and clear offerings. His packages aligned well with our budget and he was so responsive from the start, we knew we were on the right track. We had an engagement photo shoot with him first, and had some rescheduling due to weather. He was so helpful keeping a close eye on the weather and communicating with us to make sure we were all on the same page (because we had a bit of a drive to the location). Day of the shoot, me and my fiancé made the call to keep on schedule, even though it was pretty windy. Little did we know that we would endure insane winds up on the mountain view we picked. We ended up laughing the whole time and having so much fun with it, I think a huge part due to the energy that Tomi brings and his creativity to make things work. We loved the pictures, and even laugh at our hair swirling around in some of the photos. We met with Tomi a few times virtually to talk through our plans, shot lists, wedding day timeline, etc. He led us the whole way, because of course we haven’t planned such an event before. While we did do our homework, he did a great job assigning to us what we needed to think about and plan so he could give us exactly what we wanted in the end. On the day of our wedding, Tomi was prompt and ready to go. He even snagged some images that we may have been in too much of a whirlwind to realize or remember on our own. Our pictures are just stunning, and we have SO many of them. We just loved the creativity, catching the perfect moments, and candid nature of our pictures. Even our guests were having a blast with him, and we’ve had many tell us how cool our photographer was. It was amazing to see our guests connect with him in this way, and I think it made for more awesome snaps as well. He also did a great job with the kiddos, keeping their attention and getting their perfect smiles. Thanks Tomi! 10/10 would recommend.

Jose and Cynthia from Miami Photographer Villas Channel captured our wedding beautifully! The portraits were absolutely stunning — every image looked like a piece of art. Their documentary-style approach told the story of our day perfectly, with every emotion and moment preserved so naturally. Jose and Cynthia were incredibly friendly, professional, and made us feel completely at ease throughout the entire day.

We hired Maks and Gemma for our wedding 2 weeks ago and I couldn't have nicer things to say about them. Maks and Gemma came in and instantly clicked with our group from the beginning. They did an amazing job making our not so photogenic groom and groomsmen absolutely love taking photos on our day. They knew exactly what I had visioned for my wedding and they went absolutely above and beyond. If you are looking for photographers to get everyone energized and going Maks and Gemma are definitely your people! We will definitely be using them in the future for maternity, family, and whatever other photoshoots we can do with them. Sincerely a bride who read a million reviews on all my vendors and couldn't have been happier with all my choices. (It's still too soon for our professional photos back but here's some of Maks and Gemma doing their thing!)

Scarlet Oak, how do we love thee? Let us count the ways! Working with Scarlet Oak for our wedding videography was an absolute dream come true from start to finish, resulting in a mind blowing wedding video that has made everyone who's watched it cry. Everyone at the company has great communication, is genuine and down to earth, and made us feel like our wedding was important. From the moment we chatted with Aaron, we had an instant connection and knew they were a special team and that we wanted to work with them. We had many questions and Catherine was quick to answer them all via text, which we greatly appreciated! We decided on the standard video package with a team of 3 at our wedding and added on drone footage (highly recommend if you have an outdoor ceremony! Particularly in the mountains). Once we booked Scarlet Oak, Julie kept in touch throughout the process to make sure they knew what our vision was and to check-in with us, which made us feel very taken care of during the stressful wedding planning process. Aaron, Kerstin, and Darcie were so fabulous to work with on our wedding day! They had the warmest, most welcoming energy that was exactly what we were hoping for on our wedding day. I cannot express this enough. They made our wedding party and families feel comfortable while being on camera, made me (the bride) feel like a stunning goddess, and brought such positivity to the day that it honestly felt like it would have been lacking without their presence there! Aaron is top notch with a heart of gold, and we could not have been happier with our communication with him throughout this journey! When we received our highlight video and our additional footage, we were absolutely blown away. The quality, the storytelling, and the expert editing were all above our wildest expectations. We were moved to tears MANY times while watching and honestly felt like we were in our very own Hallmark movie, in the best way. They captured every part of the day perfectly. Shoutout to Radhia, office manager extraordinaire, who made us feel like we were still special even after our wedding was over! The Scarlet Oak team is beyond perfect and we are so grateful to have worked with them. By far the best part of our wedding is having these videos to cherish forever. BOOK SCARLET OAK IMMEDIATELY!

We got married on August 2025, and had the pleasure of working with Aimee Tursky. Prior to our wedding, we spoke on the phone regarding what we wanted (photo ideas) - under the veil, bubbles, a VERY specific group shot, and a game day photo. Aimee DELIVERED. She exceeded all of our expectations, and we are still receiving compliments on our photos, including statements about how they are "Bridal Magazine" worthy. Reflections Media made the booking process easy, and Danielle was available through every step for any questions or concerns. My husband and I couldn't recommend Reflections Media PA, and Aimee enough. We are so pleased on how our photos turned out. I'd also like to add it took about 3 weeks for us to get our edited photos back.

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.

Wow, we have been blown away by Justin. He did a beautiful engagement shoot for us. His work is incredibly fairly priced, and is truly a steal for the quality and quantity of photos you get. He was prompt at responding to me, getting me his information, and booking our shoot. At the photo shoot, he made us feel so comfortable and like we are the most photogenic people, despite any nerves we may have had. We got previews in less than 24 hours and our full gallery in 2.5 weeks. The photos are gorgeous. It was hard to pick which ones we want to post and which ones we want to use for invitations because they’re literally all SO good! 10/10 would recommend Justin for your photography needs!!

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.
