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. When we received the final photos, we were so amazed at the quality and beauty of her work. The pictures were incredible, especially the family portraits and the stunning sunset shots. We were so excited to show everyone, and they all loved the photos just as much as we did. The sunset in the background made for such beautiful, warm lighting.

Together, they created an all-inclusive, stress-free environment where couples can choose from talented local photographers and videographers and work with a small team of planning experts equipped and eager to make everything a success. With the pressure gone, you can truly enjoy your big day. Relax and rest assured that all the emotional and moments will be documented with unmatched quality.

Alex & Jeremy were the BEST. I cannot believe the number of compliments I received from friends and family who were at the wedding. They were the most professional and interacted with our guests all night long. During the day, we moved through our timeline so smoothly but never felt rushed in my special moments with my husband. We laughed, we cried, we danced- every moment was captured by them and we are so thankful! I was hoping that the weather would cooperate for some golden hour portraits- not only did Jeremy get the most BEAUTIFUL golden hour photos but he grabbed us just as the sun came peaking out of the clouds and got a few photos of us with my veil in the wind. I am OBSESSED with both sets of these portraits. I’ve already recommended OLAS to friends and family who are getting married. They were the best vendor I could have asked for to capture our special day!

  • 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.

Lauren is truly an incredible artist. She knows how to pose her clients and never made it feel awkward or forced. It’s like there wasn’t even a camera there, just a couple of friends hanging out! :) Lauren joined us for our elopement and then a couple days later for a reception with around 40 people. She was very thorough in helping us decide where we wanted the elopement to happen, and was very patient when I changed my mind 10 times. She brought me a bouquet that matched my dress and champagne bottles for us to pop. She is incredibly thoughtful and you can really see how passionate she is about what she does. She was so quick to edit and send us the photos, I seriously cannot express how much of a joy it was working with her. I never once worried about capturing these special days with Lauren there, and now we have such beautiful photos to cherish forever.

I am a wedding and elopement photographer based out of Northern Colorado and Western Washington. In my free time I hike, eat lots of food and play with cat & dog. I find photography to be an amazing creative outlet and love using it as a way to connect with some amazing people.

Awarded Best of Zola
We live in California and when we started looking for a photographer for our wedding we didn't think we would book someone who was out of state, but we fell in love with Ashley's editing style and knew we had to have her capture our day. She was amazing to work with, always very responsive and great to communicate with. Me and my husband aren't people who are used to or comfortable being in front of a camera, but Ashley made the whole experience feel so normal that we forgot the camera was even there at times. Our photos came out absolutely stunning, like they were straight out of a magazine. She was amazing at giving us direction without anything being to posey, even the more prompted photos have so much movement and life to them. We will cherish these photos forever and highly recommend Ashley to any couple looking for an exceptional photographer.

Tomi Photopositive

Denver, CO
  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $2,100

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 booked Tomi Photopositive for our October 2024 wedding in Genesee Park, Colorado, and got exactly what all of his other perfect reviews rave about; Relentless compassion and positivity, regular and professional communication, timeliness in every regard, and of course an amazing collection of photos we get to cherish for the rest of our lives. We struggled to find an affordable photographer for our simple and small wedding. Some quotes came in exorbitantly high. One even wanted us to sign a contract before we could even schedule a virtual meet & greet to see if we'd all vibe. We found Tomi on Wedding wire, and we loved his portfolio (and his pricing almost seemed too good to be true based on his work), so we reached out. We set up a zoom call, and it was clear right away that Tomi loves what he does, and that he cares about his clients. This initial meeting was everything a nervous couple could hope for, it silenced much of the fear of booking someone we knew very little about. Though not included in the wedding photography package, we booked an engagement session with Tomi. I am so glad we did! It was worth every penny! Aside from great photos themselves, it gave us a good feel for how he works ahead of the wedding. Plus, it was fun, and we got some great shots! Tomi will go out of his way for his clients. One example is that he had never been to our venue (Chief Hosa Lodge - if you're looking for a wedding of 35-65 guests) before, so he went to the venue before the wedding to get a feel for all the best spots. He did this on his own time, and did not charge us extra for it. While we had originally hoped for a sunny day and sunset photos overlooking the mountains, we got snow and fog. Tomi seized the opportunity and turned the "disappointing" weather into one of the more memorable aspects of our day. For any couple who is considering not using a photographer, we strongly caution against it. we originally wanted to go that route or was looking for someone cheap (1000). However, finding Tomi was a blessing from God, and his pricing is more than worth it! His photos are eons better than anything you could hope for from an amateur photographer or cell phone grab. And seeing the final polished photos a couple months after the fact is like getting to experience your special day all over again. If you're still reading this, stop and book him. You will not be disappointed.

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!!

Awarded Best of Zola
I can't even begin to tell you how amazing Candace is. She was the photographer for my stepsons wedding last year and did an amazing job. We got married this month and chose her as our photographer as well. She did not disappoint. My stepson and his wife are young and beautiful but we are much older (46-50). I was afraid of how the pictures would come out due to our age. She did amazing. Her editing is perfect and she captured so many "real" moments. We can't wait to see what she does with the rest of the pictures but here is how she did with some sneak peak ones she sent me. She was great to work with!

Covenant Pictures didn’t just document our wedding—they elevated the whole experience. From our first email exchange, they treated me with warmth, respect, and genuine enthusiasm for our story. I remember getting their first “two weeks to go” email and feeling like everything was falling into place thanks to them. They helped build our photography timeline and even suggested lighting tips for our venue, which made a huge difference in our portraits. On the wedding day, they were present yet never overwhelming. They knew exactly when to give direction and when to let moments unfold naturally. I loved how they reminded me throughout the day to pause, breathe, and just be. That intentional presence helped me stay grounded and enjoy every second. Guests were raving about how fun and sweet the photographers were. Then, as if that wasn’t enough, we got our complete gallery while we were still on our honeymoon in Santorini! The turnaround was lightning-fast, and the quality was breathtaking. I’ll cherish these photos for life. Covenant Pictures is a dream team.

Marilyn Lamanna Photography

Astoria, NY
  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $6,000

Hey there! My name is Marilyn. I live in New York City with my sweet partner, and our orange cat Maple. I’m an introverted, soft-hearted mush with an insatiable need to document the beauty in life. Practicing self-portraits in middle school eventually led me to pursue my photography degree from New York University, and I have been joyfully creating photos of wedding days ever since. To me, weddings are a magical display of the human spirit. It’s my biggest honor and joy to create imagery that captures that human magic - especially in a way that breaks the boundaries of historically gendered traditions.

Awarded Best of Zola
Marilyn was an absolute dream to work with from start to finish. When we began looking for the right photographer for us, our primary criteria was someone who would photograph our day in a way that looked like art that could blend into the artwork in our house, and that’s exactly how we feel about Marilyn’s work. We are still struggling to pick which images to hang on our walls. Marilyn’s offering of both digital and film was also so fun and unique, and we chose to add folm onto both our engagement shoot and wedding day- totally worth it. Beyond her work being beautiful, she’s also incredibly communicative, quick to answer, and very organized. She always made herself available to us and was the perfect choice for two people who hate being the center of attention. We also did a pre wedding engagement shoot which Marilyn designed and chose the locations for, and it was epic. We love the photos from our engagement and wedding, and would definitely hire Marilyn again if ever we have an occasion for it! In terms of cost, of course that’s all going to depend on your specific budget, but my wife and I felt that Marilyn’s cost for her services was incredibly fair and appropriate, and we definitely would have spent ever more because we were passionate about working with her. When it came to the actual day of the wedding, Marilyn was super flexible and easy going! We absolutely recommend her, especially if you’re having a smaller wedding and love photos that are authentic to the day!

Los Angeles, CA

Photography has always been a lifelong passion of mine, I picked up my first camera as a gift from my dad when I was 14 years old. Never in a million years would I have thought that my lifelong hobby could eventually become my career. I focused on my future, working my way through college and grad school to achieve my license to practice, but a part of me realized that I wanted to pursue a career that allowed me to go on adventures and meet a lot of new people. So in 2019, I took that risk, changed my hours from full time to part time and put more focus on my photography. I booked my first gig later that year and have never looked back.

We are so grateful to have had Randall as our photographer for both our engagement and wedding day. From start to finish, he was a dream to work with professional, warm, and so thoughtful in his approach. For our engagement session, we wanted to recreate the Japan vibes since we got engaged there, but we weren’t sure how Little Tokyo in Downtown LA would translate in photos. Randall completely exceeded our expectations. Between the Venice Canals and Little Tokyo, he perfectly captured the aesthetic we were hoping for, and the final shots were stunning. On our wedding day, Randall went above and beyond. He made my bridal party feel so at ease his presence was calm, kind, and unobtrusive, which helped all of us relax and enjoy every moment. He captured everything: the big, emotional highlights and all the small, beautiful in-between moments. Now we have a gallery full of memories that we’ll treasure forever. If you’re looking for a photographer who is incredibly talented, easy to work with, and genuinely cares about delivering your vision: Randall is it!!! We couldn’t be happier!

I'm a wedding and dog photographer based in the Northern Virginia/DC area with a focus on capturing fun, candid, colorful photos of the people and pups you love! I'm always willing to travel, especially back to my home state of New York.

Awarded Best of Zola
Megan is a phenomenal wedding photographer and arguably one of the best in the DC metro area! My husband and I initially hired Megan for our engagement shoot in January 2020 at Shenandoah Park. She was a tremendous help guiding us through the process, both in location and in the poses themselves. We ended the experience in great spirits and with even greater pictures. In fact, we clicked so much with Megan that we hired her to photograph our actual wedding in New Hampshire, which took place December 2021. We loved working with Megan because she makes the experience feel fun, relaxed and natural. She captured our true essence - between loving, fun, goofy and serious. She also has a fantastic eye for truly eye-catching shots, as you'll see below. Last but not least, Megan's personality is a breath of fresh air. Personable, professional and kind. We could not have asked for a better photographer on this journey.

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.
