We were also permitted to switch out an album the pictures made by George Street with an engagement photo shoot with photographer which we really appreciate and enjoy doing.

Our photographer name was Hunter, and he was absolutely amazing. I booked through original weddings because my photographer I originally had had never gotten back to me, and was three weeks to spare. This company made me feel like everything was going to be perfect, and that my wedding was going to be captured in the most incredible way! Hunter had made us feel so comfortable and he made our photos turn out to be more than I could ever dream of! I would recommend them 1 million times over again if I could, and if I could have booked them originally in the first place I would have! Our photo turnaround time was about two weeks and the pictures were more than I could ever imagine!!

Pedro and his team did a FANTASTIC job with our wedding photos and they were an absolute joy to work with!! This started while planning for the wedding as Pedro was very flexible in setting up meetings where we discussed logistics and specific pictures we wanted captured the day of. He also recommended the Fragrance Garden at the Morton Arboretum for wedding photos, which turned out beautifully. On the day of the wedding, Pedro and his team were very thorough and captured all of the special moments of the day! They were positive, professional, and efficient in capturing photos for our large bridal party and family. Going with Albany Capture for our wedding photos was, without a doubt, one of the best decisions we made for the wedding. We also want to give a shout-out to Josh who actually captured our engagement photos and was one of the photographers on the wedding day too! He's an incredible photographer and it was quite special to have capture the entire journey!

I loved working with the Duet team. Hanel who runs it has wonderful communication. The photos came out beautifully, I'm obsessed with them! We had fun on the day with our photographer (Michael), but I do wish he was a little more outspoken. I felt I lead the posing and general ideas for pictures. It would have been even more fun if the photographer got a little more involved. My now husband (!!) and I are very comfortable in front of a camera, a couple that might not be as comfortable might struggle with this photographer. The assistant photographer was really wonderful too! She had some great ideas for pictures, I wish she spoke up more. The only thing I was disappointed in was our edited video. The transitions are really odd- there will be sound but no picture on the screen, there are cuts in weird places, and they put generic, royalty free music over all of the dancing. I would have preferred to hear the music we were actually dancing/singing to. Thankfully they gave me all the raw footage, so I'm still able to see what I want to! Just not it in a nice neat edited version. All in all, would recommend.

His communication style is sensitive, direct, thoughtful, kind, and friendly - they truly felt like a friend at our wedding who loved taking pictures. The quality of their work is nothing short of perfection, with visionary, long-lasting images that captured all the little details we didn't even think about, like asking guests to hide their phones or stand up straight. Tomi went above and beyond to ensure we had the best day ever, and we are overjoyed with the stunning photos that will allow us to relive our special day for years to come. Having him at the wedding felt like having a friend there who was passionate about clicking the best pictures for you, rather than a business transaction.

Awarded Best of Zola
First, I think it's important to be transparent when posting reviews. I am reviewing Scarlet Oak Studio in exchange for my music license to be covered for my wedding video. That being said, everything I am writing are my genuine thoughts. They did not stipulate that it had to be a positive review. I love my pictures from my wedding day! I think that Scarlet Oak truly knows what they are doing and work so hard to make sure everything looks great, and everyone feels good. The team I worked with the day of my wedding were amazing and I would work with them over and over. I often don't like myself in pictures and I love every single one! My video is my favorite thing ever. They really captured the day, and it was so fun to relive my wedding and reception by watching it back. I cannot say enough good things about it!! It was longer than I expected, and I loved all the editing that went into it. If you are on the fence about having them do your wedding video, I would go for it. You will not regret it and at the end of the day you won't remember the money. Speaking of money, I believe that you get what you pay for, which is why they are on the more expensive end. Of all the companies we compared, they were the most expensive. We did feel like they pushed us a little towards the more expensive options. They were so gracious in offering us a friends/family discount due to us knowing a photographer from the company, but the discount was supposed to be for a free hour, and when we wanted to do the extended (10 hour) day, they instead said they would throw in drone footage. We would have preferred the free hour and felt like it was not what was initially promised and neither of us was very impressed with the drone footage. That's really the only negative thing that I can come up with though. They definitely deserve 5 stars for their photographers, videographers, and assistants, as well as the quality of their final product. The only downside is the expense, but again you get what you pay for. I would highly recommend them!

From the moment we first reached out to Allison, her communication was clear and organized. She helped us stay on track with our wedding day timeline and made sure we captured all the special moments. Allison and her team's beautiful photographs perfectly showcased the love between us and how much fun we had on our wedding day! We knew we could rely on them to make our day truly special, and they exceeded our expectations. Allison was truly the MVP of the day, even with a big wedding party, she was able to keep us coordinated. I truly can’t express how much it was a joy working with her!

Nova Photos did an incredible job at capturing our wedding day! Our coordinator made sure to ask for thorough details and asked us many questions to ensure our day came out smooth. Our photographer was Florin and he was amazing!!! Attentive, respectful, honest and personable. He made our experience so easy and we did not worry about capturing every important morning of our day. He posed us in creative ways while also taking traditional shots, made sure we had enough photos with everyone we wanted to take it with (we had a group of friends/family with us), and he made suggestions that we ended up loving as far as location/poses. The quality of the photos is very clear and high quality! We enjoyed the filters and editing that was done as well; it was not overdone. Overall, I recommend hiring Nova Photos if you want a seamless, thoughtful and thorough experience on your wedding day. Thank you!

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.
