I highly recommend this company to take photos at your wedding! We loved our photographer Percy. He was incredible, and so helpful. He came with several cameras and valued all of our ideas, and when we became stumped he offered ideas for us to try as well. He was very professional, kind, caring, and always on top of the game taking photos. Towards the end of our night he started to put the camera away and brought it back out to catch a few final moments. He was on top of responding to all questions before, during, and after. He took photos of me and my husband before the ceremony and got some wonderful shots (it was a 95 outside wedding so this was much appreciated because we all had some sweat on our faces). But before we got Percy and our booking process with eivans it was super simple, and just an overall great experience.

Absolutely — here’s another version with the same voice and message, just reworded enough to feel fresh on a different site: You honestly can’t go wrong booking this company. I was pretty laid-back as a bride — except when it came to photography. After working as a bridal gown model, I knew exactly what I wanted and I was nervous about how the photos would turn out. George Street completely delivered. Their planning tools made the day feel organized before it even started. Both photographers arrived early, stayed on top of the timeline, and somehow managed to capture every important moment without being noticeable at all. I had a handful of creative, slightly “edgy” shots I was hoping for, and they brought them to life perfectly. One of my favorite parts is how easy it is to view everything afterward. We have access to every single photo, and being able to share the link with our friends and family has been such a fun way to relive the day together. I’m so happy with how everything turned out and would definitely recommend them to future brides

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.

Ashley and her husband Nate shot our wedding, and while they were phenomenal on the day of, they were truly the dream team from the very beginning. I knew I wanted our spring wedding to be full of color and joy, and I wanted our photos to reflect that so I could relive the day over and over. Ashley Kristine Photo was the obvious choice for this vibe. Ashley answered every question throughout our year and a half engagement, helped us navigate weather cancellations for our engagement session, and, when our wedding day ended up being the only day in all of April that was supposed to get snow, she talked everything through with me and reassured me the photos would still be nothing short of stunning. On the day of, Ashley and Nate showed up just as excited as the rest of us. They helped protect my peace, followed my photo list while adding their own magical touches, and helped so many of my family members, who usually aren’t comfortable in front of a camera, feel completely at home. And when we got our wedding photos back, many as early as the next morning, I was in disbelief at how she brought those still moments to life through the color and joy she captured of our dreamy day. The weather absolutely did not take away from anything I wanted and I had zero worries throughout the day, which I owe so much of that to Ashley. I sincerely hope to work with Ashley and Nate again in the future, you couldn’t ask for a better duo to capture your special day.

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!

I am so incredibly thrilled with the results from Scarlet Oak Studio. I hired them for the photography and videography of my wedding this past September and they captured it so beautifully and truly helped us relive such a special day. I hate having my photo taken and was terrified of the results, and there really was absolutely nothing to worry about! The staff was so incredibly sweet, they regarded all relationships, and special requests. I've received so many compliments and now friends and family are wanting to use them for their events as well. Their pricing is also incredible in comparison to the value. 100% Recommend for ANY event!!

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.

Choosing Justin as our wedding photographer was truly one of the best decisions we made for our big day. He arrived early and immediately put us at ease with his easygoing and friendly attitude. Justin was incredibly efficient throughout the event—he captured all of the moments we requested plus so many more we hadn’t even thought of. Not only did he make sure to photograph us as a couple, but he also paid close attention to our guests, ensuring everyone was included in the memories. The sheer number of photos and the variety of angles he provided honestly made it seem like there were two photographers working instead of just one. We were blown away by how quickly Justin delivered our photos. Within just four days of our wedding, he sent us a stunning first look gallery of 300 photos. Justin was by far the best vendor we worked with—extremely responsive and attentive to detail. We can’t thank him enough for his hard work and the beautiful photographs we’ll cherish forever. If you’re looking for a photographer who goes above and beyond, look no further than Justin!

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.
