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.

Nothing makes us happier than helping others create unforgettable memories, and we can't wait to do the same for you!

Awarded Best of Zola
I did a lot of research to find a wedding photographer. I do a lot of research for everything, but I felt like it was especially important because if I’m paying so much for a wedding, I want all of the details chronicled beautifully so those memories can last forever. It was really important for me that the pictures looked super natural and not overly editted as if I was right back in the moment when I looked at them. Ivory Grove let me look at several of their photographers’ portfolios since I was worried they might have different styles. They were all very similar and beautiful, but I did like Erika’s the most and they set me up with her. Erika took our engagement photos and our wedding photos and she did a PHENOMENAL job. She got every angle of every moment, and a lot of my guests mentioned how impressed they were that she was getting on the ground for some shots, setting up lighting, and orchestrating everyone to make sure I got all the photos I requested. Ivory Grove finished editing the photos she took in only 2 weeks, and the album they sent has sooo many photos in it. I should have known because I got a lot of engagement photos back as well, but I was just blown away by the amount of gorgeous photos they gave me. It’s also so easy for me to download them onto my phone or computer. The investment was well worth it, but also they were more affordable than a lot of other photographers I’d looked into! Anyway, I can’t say enough good things about Erika, Lindsey, and anyone else who reached out throughout the planning process. Thank you Ivory Grove team!

The photos came out really wonderful - we love the warmer tones and Jasmine captured the joy, fun, and touching moments really well.

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.

He even helped us with our timeline and outline for photos. We had a big venue and were worried about sticking to our timeline and getting the photos we wanted. He took the photos so quickly and got so many photos of us! Many of his ideas took us out of our comfort zone, but ended up being some incredible shots, and he made it extremely fun to do them. One of the best parts of our wedding was getting to have a little bit of Tomi’s time!

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!!

Words can’t even begin to describe how much we love the photos that Candace took for both our engagement shoot and on our wedding day. She is so incredibly approachable and makes you feel super comfortable right off the bat. I felt like she truly listened to us and incorporated our style in with hers. She also got a handful of photos back in record time so that you have a wonderful sneak preview before the rest of the pictures arrive. Candace is such a wonderful person to work with- we are definitely going to use her again in the future and can’t recommend her enough!!

Hey there!! My name is Marilyn and I'm so glad you're here ♡ I am a couples + wedding photographer based in New York City, and happy to travel to wherever your day is at! I've had pink hair for the last 6 years so at this point it has become a personality trait and I'm 100% okay with it. I love the outdoors, pat every dog I can, and thrive on ben and jerry's. My ideal place to be would likely be frolicking in wildflowers in a dress that's way too long, but the longer the better. The patio of my NYC apartment with a good book is a close second favorite though, for sure.

From the first email, Marilyn was warm and welcoming! And that spirit stayed with us through planning, zooms, and the whole day of the wedding. Of course, her work speaks for itself, and i think you can feel the love and emotions she captures through her lens. She captured so many special joys and moments, I feel like I am reliving our wedding day over and over! I think Marilyn's pricing is fair and well worth the money spent. We went with the additional film option and the film shots are absolutely my favorite! Thank you so much, Marilyn!

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.

Awarded Best of Zola
We’ve been lucky to know and work with Randall for a few years. When we finally decided to make things “official” we knew we wanted someone that does great work, that we trust, and would make us feel comfortable. We wanted our day to feel like a relaxed family event and Randall helped with that and so much more. He suggested possible locations that would meet our dream event and times to maximize the best lighting for the area. Once we settled on the location and date, he maintained excellent communication in preparation to the event to properly flesh out the day’s timetable, day of logistics, and post. On the day of our wedding he expertly directed us and our families, using the natural lighting to capture the perfect shots. We would have been lost without him, especially since no one knew how to assist with bustling my dress. During our dinner reception he seamlessly directed restaurant staff to assist in transitioning between meals/dessert/toast for more amazing shots. After the wedding he kept us updated on next steps for our pictures. Randall is truly a gem and I would recommend him to anyone looking for someone special to capture their day.

Justin was the first vendor that we booked for our wedding- before the venue, before anything else and it was probably the best decision that I made in the entirety of our wedding planning. Justin was such a pleasure to work with from the start and went above and beyond to make sure that my partner and I were comfortable in the run-up to the wedding and on our wedding day (which is saying a lot, because my partner hates taking/being in pictures). On the wedding day, Justin was even more incredible than I could have imagined. He made us both feel at ease the entire wedding, making us laugh and seamlessly capturing amazing pictures along the way. All night and since the wedding, we've had family and friends tell us how incredible Justin was- his easygoing, friendly demeanor made an already really special day even better and we are so grateful to have him as our photographer. The pictures he captured are stunning (no surprise given the work we'd seen of his before) but I was blown away by the candid moments he was able to capture that we will cherish forever. Again- I can't recommend Justin highly enough and will forever be grateful for both the way he was able to capture the best moments of such an important day and for him being such a wonderful person.

Awarded Best of Zola
We knew from the start that our wedding would be a small, intimate affair, and we wanted a photographer who could capture the special moments without being intrusive. Sidney was absolutely perfect! Communication was a breeze. Sidney was always responsive, and they took the time to understand our vision for the day. He arrived early arrived and with an assistant and both blended seamlessly into the background. They captured candid moments of our family and friends, as well as some beautiful posed portraits. We received the sneek peak very quickly and the only "hard part" is picking from all the many photos to move on to the final gallery!

Everytime I looked at my wedding pictures I felt so lucky that I have Tara at my wedding day. She's super sweet and extremely nice to work with and the quality of the picture is another level. I like cameras and taking pictures, which makes me appreciate Tara's skills even more. She caught countless beautiful moments in the most magical day of my life. A month before the wedding she sent over a questionairre to get to know more about the details of the wedding. Me and my husband had a meeting the day before the wedding to run through the details, questions, and some wedding photos I liked and shared with her. One of the photos I sent was a champagne popping, Tara loved it and even prepared a setup for that shot at the wedding night! It was one of the most amazing shots I love from that night. On the wedding day, there were things unexpected and we were falling behind projected timeline, but Tara and her second photographer Tara were super flexible and managed to work it out. They helped more than just the photos. I truly appreciate all the help and the beautiful work!! Thank you thank you thank you for recording the most perfect day for me!!! I would recommend Tara to everyone!!

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!

Awarded Best of Zola
I considered myself pretty laid-back when it came to most aspects of wedding planning, but I was certain about wanting high-quality, true-to-color, beautiful photographs that would stand the test of time and capture the unique details of our day. After extensive research, I discovered Emma's work on Instagram. From our first meeting, my husband and I knew she was the perfect fit. Not only was her work stunning, but Emma was also easy to talk to and genuinely fun. I loved that we did an engagement session first and would recommend this to everyone if possible. It was a fantastic opportunity for us to get to know Emma better and feel comfortable being photographed. Emma also made it a point to meet with us again in person before the wedding to go over planning details. The effort she put into spending time with us before the wedding truly paid off because it felt like she really understood us. We received the photos quickly after the wedding, and they are beautiful and timeless. Some shots turned out so cool that I feel like we could be in a magazine. Emma kept us on schedule throughout the day and managed our family with grace. I am so grateful that being photographed on the day was an enjoyable experience—none of it felt stuffy or burdensome; it was like hanging out with a great friend. Emma, we are eternally grateful to you! Additionally, I think it's worth mentioning, given the current discussions about wedding photography on social media, that Emma provided several full galleries upfront with different types of lighting once I expressed interest in working with her. There was no ambiguity about her style, and I really appreciated her encouragement to do the engagement session as a way to get to know each other better. She is a true professional through and through!

I have been a photographer for the last 20 years, shooting weddings, elopements and portraits. I'm proud to have shot more than 150 same-sex weddings, which is probably more than, well, just about anyone. That said, I’ve worked with as many straight couples as LGBTQ ones. I don't discriminate. There are many other photographers whose work inspire me, but my primary inspiration comes from painters. Rembrandt, Vermeer, Sargent, to name a few.

Awarded Best of Zola
We had a great experience with Steven. He was not afraid to make decisions and he pushed us to think about exactly what shots we wanted leading up to the wedding. He was open to our ideas but also had great ideas of his own, including making some suggestions about the positioning of the ceremony that resulted in not only making the pictures better but made sure all our guests could see. He was punctual on the day of the wedding and took time to come out to our venue in advance of the wedding to see how we might optimize the photos. His assistant was also very helpful at our pre-ceremony shoot.

My wife and I cannot recommend Gabriella enough! We met Gabriella at my best friends wedding a few years ago when she was their photographer and loved her! Since then, we’ve been able to establish a wonderful relationship with Gabriella as she did our engagement photos (which were STUNNING) and helped us with all things planning for the wedding! Gabriella was so helpful in creating the timeline for our wedding, sharing vendor recommendations, and honestly just overall calming any nerves we had leading up to the wedding! Gabriella goes above and beyond her job as a photographer. When she first photographed my best friend’s wedding, Gabriella actually helped myself and the other bridesmaids with getting dressed/last minute touch ups. Gabriella and I also had bonded about our love of all things Taylor Swift. When she shot our engagement photos, Gabriella blasted Taylor the entire time to help us feel even more comfortable behind the camera! Unfortunately, my wife broke her ankle badly right before the wedding, and was in a boot and on a scooter on the day of. Not only did Gabriella adapt, she also offered a complimentary session once my wife is healed! On the wedding day, Gabriella and her team were so supportive and flexible given my wife’s injury and her ability to take photos. They literally carried her scooter on a golf cart across the venue grounds so we could get the shot! Just a couple examples of how above and beyond she and her team went throughout our entire experience working with her. On our wedding day, we were honestly as excited to see Gabriella as we were our guests- she felt like a friend at that point, and she gives off the kindest, warmest and most positive vibe. Her team on the day of was wonderful- Gabriella, Sarah, and Sam documented the day so beautifully and were prepared and calm, cool, and collected throughout the entire day! Our package included mobile videos taken throughout the day which were SO perfect to document little moments and look back on and share with friends and family!

More than anything, it is my pride and joy to guide you from our first meeting to your final gallery with ease and support. Our preparation will ensure that your day is centered around the two of you instead of literally anything else. As your wedding should be!

Awarded Best of Zola
​Working with Jessica Knighton Photography was hands down one of the best decisions we made when planning our wedding. From the first time we reached out, she was the most helpful a human could be—from walking through a possible timeline before we even committed to hiring her to sending her wedding guide with tips and tricks and suggestions for other vendors and going along with our not-so-conventional pool party engagement shoot, she made two awkward introverts feel so comfortable both with and without her camera pointed at them. Of all the variety of vendors I spoke with, Jess exceeded every expectation in a way nobody else was able to. She was so kind checking in with us throughout the entire planning process, delivered both our galleries so quickly, and most of all DELIVERED with the best photos to help us remember our day. We simply adored every single one of the photos... like, in a wanna lay on the floor and scream about it, sing her praises from every mountain top even though I'm not a hiker, accidentally send her a thousand and one heart-eyed emojis, bend the knee because forget Sansa Stark she is MY queen of the north type of way. They all feel so very "us" in a way that would be almost frightening if it wasn't so impressive. In a year, or five, or ten or fifty, I can't wait to look back and remember all the little details, how much love we felt, and how much fun it all was. It'll be easy to do because it's written in every picture a thousand times over. I would recommend working with Jess in every universe. She's truly the best in the biz. ​Especially if you have a two year old niece as your flower girl who isn't so sure about the whole "photos" thing, because she'll probably be very sure of Jess and even smile a time or two. If you don't believe me, ask literally anybody in my family (we still talk about how great she is a frankly concerning amount).

Nostalgia drove me into photography at an early age - and lead me into my studies of photojournalism. We all innately know when we're at a critical juncture in our lives.

We used Corey for our wedding and engagement pictures. We worked with him for several months and he was always super responsive and clear with expectations, pricing, and giving us ideas. The whole process was made super easy. We knew what his vision was and how to help execute it to get the best results. Expectations for the events were also made clear and put into writing which was nice. Corey also met with us remotely and in person to discuss, always making himself available with our busy schedules. The day of the wedding he arrived ahead of schedule to set up and scope out the venue. All the pictures we wanted were taken, he also captured incredible photos throughout the day which told a story of the wedding. This included us getting ready, setting up the venue, ceremony, reception, and first dances. All the little moments that make the day special are now captured in photos. Looking back through the photos, we're able to recount what we were doing and we just couldn't stop smiling. The photos are all very high quality and we're provided to us just two weeks after our wedding. We expected Corey to deliver great photos based on his portfolio but we were still absolutely blown away. These photos will absolutely be cherished for years to come.

We truly could not have asked for a better wedding and engagement photographer!! We feel so incredibly lucky to have had Seth and his team capture our special day.

Seth was so kind, organized, professional, and down to earth. We cannot recommend Hyde Photography enough!

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.
