He also did a few twists to some photos and they came out amazing! Our videographer was great as well and our wedding video is something we will always watch and be so happy with the outcome. I wouldn’t change a thing with who we chose for our wedding. Photos are very important to me and I can say I was one hundred percent satisfied with George Street!

With over a thousand weddings under our collective belts, we've photographed and filmed weddings of every shape and size imaginable. We can't wait to document your wedding as well!

Awarded Best of Zola
I can not stress enough how much I LOVED working with Duet. My husband and I aren't really pose for photos type of people but I still knew this would be the only thing I had from the day that would last a lifetime. They are so professional and truly captured the BEST candid photos. Of course we had a few posed photos but most of the day was them working around us which was amazing! One of my biggest pet peeves is a photographer stopping people from dancing to catch a group photo. I personally would rather take a photo of the group dancing. That's just my preference. Duet made sure to emphasize that they also do not want to ever “stop” our day for a photo. Communicating them was seamless and clear at all times. The photos came out STUNNING and our videos are absolutely wonderful.

To ensure we provide dedicated time and personalized recommendations for your wedding photography and videography needs, we now offer in-depth consultations for a nominal fee of $50.

Awarded Best of Zola
Pedro was absolutely incredible to work with. From start to finish, our engagement session experience exceeded every expectation. He was so communicative beforehand, which immediately put us at ease, and in person he was warm, personable, and genuinely fun to be around. My fiancé and I love taking photos, but we never really know how to pose — and Pedro directed us like a true expert. He made everything feel natural and effortless, and we felt completely comfortable the entire time. We shot at the Art Institute of Chicago, and he captured so many stunning moments. One of the most special parts: while chatting between photos, we casually mentioned that we loved “Paradise Lost” by Raqib Shaw. Before we even realized it, Pedro had taken us there and created the most breathtaking photos in front of it. That thoughtfulness meant so much to us. On top of everything, we received our gallery even sooner than the timeline he originally estimated. The photos are beyond beautiful — truly better than we could have imagined. 10/10. We couldn’t recommend Pedro more!

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.

Awarded Best of Zola
Engagement and wedding photographers aren't usually something you need too many times in a lifetime. Sometimes you aren't sure where to begin or who to book, but you take your chances and hope for the best. That was me, pre meeting Justin Kunimoto. I found Justin through a google search. His website and portfolio were beautiful. His about me/philosophy page came through as warm and genuine, and I reached out to him via Instagram about an engagement shoot with the DC cherry blossoms. Justin responded quickly and professionally. Once we had a plan, he sent follow ups about construction and road closures near the tidal basin. He gave us suggestions on where to park and how long it would take to walk over. He arrived early that morning to do a walkthrough of the area. We had also arrived early, but he told us to stay in the car where it's warmer until it was closer to sunrise. Once we met up with him and were about to get started, I realized I never paid for parking. I tried paying for it on my phone, but naturally, it wasn't working. We didn't have our credit cards on us, so Justin offered to pay in order to save us a trip. I thought, "Whoa, this guy's really trusting. He's reaching for his wallet for us and we met him just five minutes ago." It turned out ParkMobile really was down, so my fiancé ended up running back to the car and paid at the meter. I apologized for the mix-up and he assured me it was okay. He said he's not in any rush and we have as long as we need. It made me feel at ease knowing he wasn't charging me for his time, but rather, the photoshoot/project as a whole. Justin did a great job planning and communicating ahead of the shoot. We felt loose and carefree the entire time. It was fun! Our photos turned out beautifully and for the ones that didn't, it was because of us as models and not his artistic composition. I could tell that he fixed up my stray hairs and removed some visible dress straps. He also brought us hand warmers to use. In so many ways, his thoughtfulness shined through and through. What a wonderful person, all around. It was a pleasure to meet him and to work with him.

I am a queer, New York City-based photographer documenting candid joy and human connection.

There aren’t enough words to describe how amazing Emma is! You can put so much effort into planning your wedding but having a photographer who truly gets you and your vision is what makes it all last forever. We knew exactly what we dreamed of in the person who would capture our day and met with many incredible people, but when we met with Emma everything felt so right and came together instantly. Her vision and style were so perfectly aligned with ours and she was careful to take into account everything we asked for. She went above and beyond in a way we couldn’t have dreamed of going in and I was particularly impressed with how she kept track of our day and worked seamlessly with all of our other vendors! Our photos were beyond our dreams and she captured every detail, even moments between friends and family we didn’t get to witness, beautifully. I can’t recommend Emma enough, she is amazing

Awarded Best of Zola
Scarlet Oak Studio could not have been better to work with. They came recommended by our venue (Log Haven) and almost seemed too good to be true. Our photography and videography package was the same cost as just photography elsewhere and included multiple shooters and lighting. Linsey was our lead shooter and I truly can’t say enough good things about her and the rest of the team! Linsey is so full of joy and kept things fun and light but also on track. She called us prior to the wedding day so we could walk through all of our shots and make a detailed schedule. We had some concerns on timing and Linsey worked out a “fake send off” to capture the photos without stopping the party or having to add another hour to our package. Pictures can be tough for both me and my now husband so I was worried the photos would feel uncomfortable on the actual day but that could not have been further from the truth! The entire team was so kind and thoughtful, they captured every moment without feeling intrusive. They gave helpful direction without making things feel too posed or staged and gave us space during a private vows reading while still capturing the love in that moment. I wanted photos that felt true to the spirit of the day and I definitely think the joy radiates through each picture. I have had multiple friends message me specifically about how great the photos turned out - and I know you might be thinking everyone says that to the bride, but I’m talking about photos taken of my friends that they’re loving! So if Scarlet Oak Studio seems to be too good to be true don’t question it, just book it! :)

Photographs are love letters to the heart. I’m here to capture the most important moments of your life from the first anniversary, to the engagement, to the first day of your lives as a married couple. I have been a photographer for 8 years now and I love what I do! Not everyone can say they chose their career at the age of 14 but I feel so lucky enough to say I did. Located in the Seattle/Tacoma area willing to travel anywhere to be your official hype woman!

Allison and her husband was an absolute pleasure to work with for our wedding day. From the very beginning, Allison was organized, energetic, and incredibly helpful in guiding us through the photography planning process. On the day of our wedding, when the weather unexpectedly changed and threw off our timeline, Allison remained calm and professional, quickly adapting to the new circumstances and finding creative ways to capture beautiful photos around our venue. She was also a rockstar during the family photo portion of the day, efficiently directing everyone to ensure we got all the necessary shots. Allison's hardworking, organized approach and the high-quality, professional results she delivered made her an incredible value. We are thrilled with the photos from our special day and would highly recommend Allison Lauryn Photography to any couple looking for an amazing wedding photographer.

Nova Photos was an absolute pleasure to work with for our wedding. Their communication style was easy, clear, and very understandable, which made the whole process seamless. The quality of their work was priceless, invaluable, and excellent - they truly captured the essence of our special day. They took the time to help with putting on the groomsmen's boutonnieres, and made us feel comfortable and natural in our poses while taking pictures. We couldn't be happier with the beautiful photos that will allow us to cherish our wedding memories for years to come.

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.
