Sound Originals was beyond incredible for my wedding. I communicated to them that I wanted to add video a few months out from my wedding and it was a stress free process. My husband and I are a bit awkward when taking photos and my photographer and videographer were so great in helping us get comfortable and trying different poses that made us less awkward in front of the camera. They both helped keep the energy high all throughout the night and my only regret was not hiring them for longer to capture things that had happened after they left. My bridal party and guests were telling me how great my photographer and videographer were. I just got my photos back and they are exactly what I wanted; Moody, slightly editorial with some candid moments. I can’t recommend Sound Originals enough and I will be recommending them to friends and family that are in need of a photographer/videographer

Rae and Chynjah have such great positive energy and attitude, and made the shoot feel like a breeze. We got great shots even though the weather was not in our favor and she was very creative with the angles. She even incorporated objects and motion in many of the shots. They are both very genuine and great at bringing out the positive energy but of people. All in all, 10/10 would definitely recommend for bridal, maternity, or event photos. For Chris and his previous modeling experience, this was by far the least tedious, most energetic, and easiest shoot that he's been apart of. Rae's communication and creativity were great. She is incredible at thinking outside of the box and coming up with great ideas on the fly. She also communicated great before and after the shoot as there were some minor challenges with scheduling. Her turn around time is also incredibly efficient and can edit very quickly. We are so excited to have had her capture this precious moment for us that we will cherish forever. Thank you, Rae!

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!!

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!

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.

Marilyn and her assistant Emma were great at getting the shots your grandparents will want while also capturing the essence of your night. She asked great questions, made sure we felt comfortable at every turn, and fully captured the essence of my (camera-shy) husband. Don’t hesitate to work with her!!

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.

Hey there, I'm Emma! I am an outgoing and free-spirited photographer living in Manhattan (but born & raised in the Midwest! My heart longs for creating art and telling remarkable stories. I love a good trip to the farmers market, a wine night with my friends, and spending time with my loved ones. Emma Melin Studios is queer-owned and is an inclusive wedding vendor!

My husband and I got married on June 28, 2024, and I can confidently say our wedding would not have been ours without Emma. She came on recommendation to me, and it was like we were destined to meet. Emma completely understood our vision (my husband and I are both creatives, so we had a VERY detailed one!) and worked with us to get the photos and Super 8 video we wanted. She was so professional, keeping us on time, on track, and ensuring that we stayed on schedule. She is masterful at wrangling family members for photos and capturing those small, intimate moments nobody else would think to capture. (My cousin texted me after the wedding to say, excitedly, that her purse and shoes were captured on camera and she loved it!) Hiring Emma for our photographer was the easiest and best decision my husband and I made on our wedding day. We wish we could get married again so that we can hang out with her more! Hire her!

In the 20 years that I've been photographing professionally, I’ve honed my skill of knowing when to step in and make things happen, and when to step back and simply *allow* things to happen. Documenting the REAL emotion of the day is how we capture those picture-perfect moments. They happen organically, not by force, and I promise you: we're not going to miss ANY of them. = )

Christopher Duggan Photography was an absolute joy to work with for our wedding day. From the first time we spoke, Christopher's put us at ease throughout the planning process - starting with our engagement shoot and then for the wedding day. His photos always feel natural, we were so comfortable posing for them and the results were beautiful! He and his team perfectly encapsulated the essence of our special event. Christopher has an amazing eye for detail and was so easy to work with, making us feel completely at ease in front of the camera. He is truly an amazing human being, not just a talented photographer - you can tell he genuinely loves capturing couples in their most joyful moments. We are thrilled with the final results and couldn't recommend Christopher Duggan Photography more highly. Our albums are absolutely gorgeous and will be family heirlooms we cherish forever.

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.
