"The whole team was great. Once we all got in the groove, there was a really good vibe & we enjoyed each other! I love how the pictures turned out. To see our family & friends captured in such a magnificent way was beautiful! There was a moment we all reminisced & sang along to “Can We Talk” by Tevin Campbell; it was soooo organic & fun. The crew just ate it up. We forgot we were even being filmed. We loved it! Evoke captured us, our wedding, our love in such a way we will always remember. Thank you!!! "

Pedro was awesome! We were looking for a local (in Chicago) photographer, and found the perfect one. He was super easy to work with, and took amazing pictures. Our initial meeting was via Zoom, which made working it around our schedule super easy. He was extremely responsive to all of my emails, and even was workable with our budget and what we wanted to accomplish with photography. I love his ability to take un-staged, in the moment photos as well as great family photos. He went above and beyond for us, and we are grateful for so many amazing photos to choose from. I would definitely hire him again in a heartbeat.

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!!

Awarded Best of Zola
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!!

Through Covid and all, Megan had our back. She was the first vendor who reached out to us when the pandemic started. We were hoping it wouldn’t last as long and our big day would still be as planned. But no, it changed everything drastically. Good thing we were prepared enough because Megan was flexible and worked with us all the way. Couldn’t have done it without her. She’s super friendly too and she made us, an awkward camera-shy couple, feel relaxed for both the prenup shoot and the wedding day. Just hire her and see for yourself, you will not regret it.

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.

Awarded Best of Zola
Working with Marilyn was such a treat. She’s so warm, and communicating with her is a breeze. Both my husband and I were more interested in capturing the moments of our wedding day rather than spending loads of time on staged family portraits. 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!!

There aren't enough words to thank Shawn for our photos! They are beyond what we could've ever dreamed. Not sure how he seems to be everywhere at once, for some of those shots we didn't even notice him there! He never missed a moment during the ceremony, toasts in the reception, and the candid expressions all the way through into the night. Everything turned out better than we could have imagined - he captured all the little moments and I feel like our love is seen in the photos. Definitely went above and beyond what I had expected from my photographer!

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
Justin was absolutely incredible!! He was able to impeccably capture the beauty and joy of the day. A lot of photographers we considered had beautiful photos, but the reason we went with Justin was because you could feel the joy come through the photos and it paid off! Justin sent us the high quality, well edited photos faster than I have ever heard any wedding photographer get pictures to the bride and groom and he made it very easy for us to share those pictures with family and friends. Not only did Justin deliver beautiful photos that captured the mood of the day, but he went above and beyond his photographer duties. When all of the bridal party was racing around with wet fingernails, Justin stepped in to help button the many buttons on my dress. When we were running late to get to the ceremony, Justin called the front desk at the venue to make sure our ride was waiting for us to get to the ceremony ASAP. I cannot recommend Justin enough!!!

Randall de Leon Photography

Los Angeles, CA
  • Classic style
  • Starts at $2,000

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.

Randall was recommended by our videographer (Call it Captivation Films, who we recommend). We really enjoyed his gallery and how natural his photos looked. We spoke to a few other photographers before him, but during our 1st video meeting he vibed well with us; he and I are both Fil-Am with history of working with pediatric patients (he as a PTA, me as a RN), and he and my husband shared a love for the same teams (Dodgers and Lakers). We were quick to book him after our meeting and are extremely happy with our decision to work with him! The photography packages he offers and his prices are amazing. Randall was great with communication and with providing us with recommendations (ie what to bring for flat lay, helping us pose, etc) prior to and day of the wedding. He did a site tour of our venue where we got to meet him and his kids in person. Prior to the ceremony, Randall worked with me, while the 2nd photographer worked with my husband. My husband said that the 2nd photographer fitted in well like one of the boys. He gave us a preview of the photos 1 week after our wedding and the full gallery of our wedding about 8-9 weeks after our wedding. We are so happy with all the photos! They are so beautiful and timeless, and they captured the essence of our wedding so well. **If you're looking for a photographer, Randall is your guy! I did the research for you :) Book him now! **

Our deposit is 20% down to book and the remaining balance can be broken down into 3-4 increments.

Awarded Best of Zola
We hired Reflections Media Pennsylvania as our wedding photographer and were very happy with their services. They were great at communication - thoroughly documenting details over email and phone calls leading up to the big day. On the wedding day itself, they jumped right in to capture candid moments as they happened. For example, they photographed all of our guests arriving at the cocktail hour with us. The photos turned out beautifully, really capturing the spirit of our wedding at a fair price. My only minor critique would be that it was hard to pose for some of the more formal shots because the photographer didn't do a countdown before snapping the pic. And unfortunately due to the event timing, we were not able to take as much photos with the family/bridal party as we had wanted in our consultation. I would recommend couples to keep in mind specific shots during the wedding; the wedding day was extremely hectic for us but it would have been nice to have the photographer (us as well) remember our consultation on what shots we were important for us for them to photograph. But overall, I'd recommend Reflections Media to other couples looking to preserve memories of their special day.

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. = )

We chose Christopher to photograph and videograph our sangeet celebration rather last minute as we were busy planning everything else, so it was quite a relief and so helpful to see how swiftly he communicated with us and delivered on such wonderful memories. Christopher was amazing to work with - as we had wanted, the posed photos were quick (yet came out incredible). We asked him to focus on the celebration and dancing and we couldn't be happier with how everything turned out. We highly recommend Christopher -- thank you for making our evening so special!!

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.

They were great to work with, and we loved having a video chat with them a week before the wedding to go over the timeline and make sure everything was set. When our hair and makeup ran a little behind, they were flexible with their original itinerary, ensuring the process remained painless. We are so excited to see what they create for us. We would highly recommend Willow Photo Co. to any couple planning their wedding.

Hey y’all! My name's Gabriella, I love sunshine and I'm a documentary-style wedding & engagement photographer based in Philadelphia. I'm a hopeless romantic and I adore documenting love stories with my camera in a beautiful & compelling way. Basically, I’m a down-to-earth gal from Pennsylvania who got hooked on the travel bug at college in Georgia (go dawgs!!), has a passion for storytelling and absolutely loves love. Running, biking and chasing sunsets are my favorite pastimes. I’m team coffee AND team tea. I dream real big and I’m full of ambition. Oh, and I'm not just you wedding photographer ... I'm your new friend :)

How do we even begin to say how amazing she was? As soon as we saw that Gabriella described her personality as the color yellow, we knew she was the one for us, and she proved time and time again that we were right. From our first zoom call to our finished gallery, she was a joy to work with. She made everything so easy, from questionnaires to our engagement shoot. She made our wedding day feel effortless. We were both worried about being awkward in front of a camera, but she gave lots of wonderful prompts and little games that were easy and fun for us to do, and left us with stunning pictures we were in absolute awe of. Gabriella does everything with such a personalized touch, which really made us feel special. On your big day, she is not just your photographer, she is your biggest fan and the best hype girl you could hope for, and she was willing to help with any aspect of your day, not just pictures. Need a hairpin tucked? Gabriella's got you. Looking for a guest? She is on it! Did you miss the milkshake shots as they went by? Gabby's got your back! From start to finish, Gabriella and her team really were more than we could have ever imagined. Big shoutout to Connie and Sam! Thank you for everything 3

We’re passionate about being picky! It’s only the most important day of your life. When all is over and you’ve gone home, you’ll forget the details and you’ll have the memories to keep with you forever. We create those moments and the capture them for you to share with generations to come. Our Wedding Photographers and Videographers only do Weddings, we use a timeline to ensure we never miss a shot and we guarantee you’ll like the end result or we will keep editing till you do.

With all the decisions required in planning a wedding, finding and orchestrating a million different vendors was turning out to be an extra complication. So, when we came across Weddings Unlimited and saw the packages they carried, providing the DJ, photographer, videographer and more, we were practically sold. But once we looked through their portfolios and myriad party options, we were thoroughly convinced that they were the ones we needed... and I must say that Weddings Unlimited did an incredible job! Everything regarding the available packages was clearly explained and laid out for us during the introductory meeting, and all our options were given to us, with no pressure to upgrade or choose add-ons we might not actually want. Once I got into the planning, I will admit that I was somewhat overwhelmed with the whole process of preparing the timelines, song selections, photo shots, even special items like flashing dancefloor, photo booth, etc. The options were all incredible, and reasonably priced, but also somewhat daunting at first. Thankfully, our Weddings Unlimited Account Managers were all extremely friendly, helpful, and knowledgeable! We had 3 different managers over the course of the preparation process, but each was well-acquainted with our case and was able to assist with all our questions and accommodate our schedules, etc. It took a lot of the anxiety out of the process, as they each assured me that I was on-track for getting everything completed. Additionally, once all our information was entered into the wedding app platforms, it really provided a lot of clarity to the timeline. Our DJ and our photographers were also especially amazing! Our DJ, because he went through the whole reception with us, pinning down what kind of music selections we wanted. He indulged us with our special "choreographed" numbers, and he even suggested a slight change to the ordering of events when there started to be a lull in the party, and it really helped keep things moving smoothly. He was so great, he took requests, and he also played all the songs we had asked him to play. Our photographers were amazing because they were so cool, friendly and professional. They arrived early, let me know when they were almost there. Then they stayed very low-key and out of the way until I was ready for them. In the meantime, they photographed the dress, the rings, set up all their equipment and scoped out perfect spots all over the venue for each of our shoots, and our first look!! Honestly, I wasn't really expecting them to do all of that, but they totally nailed it. We also just looked at our preview photos, and they are STUNNING! Exactly the style that we were looking for, and so beautifully set up and captured. Both the portraits and candids look equally amazing. The photographers were so calm and patient, explaining what they wanted to do, asking questions about the ordering of events to make sure they captured everything, but also staying out of the way. For the most part, we were hardly aware of their presence at all, but when it came to organizing the shoots and poses they were completely on top of it!! Several of our guests also commented on how competent and professional the photographers were. In sum, working with Weddings Unlimited was an overall great experience, and I would highly recommend them to anyone! Their exceptional talent and service really helped to make our wedding a fun and beautiful success!

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.

Steven photographed our wedding and prepared photos and an album for us. His work throughout was excellent, from input on a schedule for photos during the event, to posing the family and guests, suggesting positive changes to some steps of the ceremony, capturing great moments, keeping the day on track, and working with us on the album. His layout and editing for the album were terrific, very professional, attentive to themes and telling the story through images, and with a great eye for combinations. We recommend Steven without hesitation for your special days!

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. For me, being able to authentically capture, to preserve those moments in a photograph is such a privilege. I know how much it means to me to be able to look back and say 'this is how things actually happened.' There is beauty in those truths. The kind of folks I work with share that appreciation.

Corey was awesome to work with, from the first zoom call when we were in our planning stages all the way through the wedding reception! The photos are nothing short of spectacular! We were looking for a photographer who would take a lot of candid shots and capture special moments that way, which worked perfectly with Corey’s photography style. He also got the pictures back to us incredibly fast. We truly cannot recommend Corey (Revolution Summer Photography) enough!

We're a husband/wife photography duo. We're college sweethearts and we're currently expecting our first child in June 2021! We are so happy to be in this business but we didn’t always know we’d become wedding photographers. Seth spent about 10 years in video production (aka the equipment expert) and Nicole is an advertising art director (aka the artsy perfectionist).

Most critical to us was working with a photographer who (i) could make us feel like they weren't pestering us, allowing us to live in the moment just like we envisioned and (ii) could capture the array of emotions throughout the day and night in natural, beautiful ways, particularly the candid shots. Seth and his team made our lives VERY easy on our biggest day and photographed stunning angles and absolutely magical moments!! We literally look at the photos every day and have trouble favoriting the photos because of how great each photo truly is. Despite the challenges of tons of rain on the wedding day, Seth made it all work wonderfully and he captured shots that were unique and special to us. He also did a phenomenal job with our engagement photos and he was able to understand our relationship and character well before our big day. We would recommend Seth 12/10!!

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!

Just like you, I have felt awkward in front of the camera. I’ve had photos taken of me that I didn’t like. When you go on a session with me, I will not only make you feel comfortable, but I will make sure you look good! I will give you prompts to keep you moving and laughing. I’m sorry but there are some angles, and poses that are not flattering for everyone. Like, please don’t take a photo of me from below! Hello double chin! What I’m saying is, I got you!

PictureMeThisByLacie was one of the best decisions we made throughout the wedding process. Lacie was amazing to work with the entire time. She was easy to communicate with and kept us updated on our photo timelines, not to mention all of our photos turned about AMAZING. Our package included an engagement session and Lacie worked out a weekend she was already in Chicago to accommodate us. Leading up to our session, we had issues with controlled fires and protests in our preferred location, but Lacie found us a spot that blew my expectations for photos out of the water. She gave us a sneak peak and also got our pictures back to us super quick. On our big day, Lacie and Tim(her husband/second photographer) were the best to work with. They made us feel comfortable and captured our day better than we could have imagined. As soon as they got there, they got straight to work. Lacie got all the details and getting ready photos that I will cherish forever. Things were running behind the day of and they let us add on an hour to our contract the day of and pay at a later date. This ensured that we got dance floor photos and it was so worth it! Specifically getting pictures of my husband's grandmother in her 80s dancing with all her grandkids. We received a sneak peak very quickly and our whole (massive) gallery less than 2 months after the wedding. For as many photos as we got, this was a crazy quick turn around. Overall, PictureMeThisByLacie captured our day better than we could have ever imagined, we could not recommend them more!

So here's the tea... I'm a wise-cracking, extroverted Capricorn who excels at corralling your rowdy family for photos and charming Aunt Carol, the self-deemed professional iPad photographer. Ever since I was little, huddled on the couch with my five siblings rewatching The Lion King, I knew that I wanted to be a storyteller. Growing up in a creative household, I studied a wide range of arts before settling on filmmaking. I envisioned in my head that I would be the next Spielberg, but after shooting my first wedding in 2013 all my plans changed.

Maya was my wedding photographer at my wedding in Flagstaff, AZ at Aldea Wedding in the Woods and she was PHENOMENAL. Her energy is out of this world & you cannot help but smile and laugh around her. She quickly feels like family. Not only does she have the most insanely wonderful personality that brightens the room but her photos she took are STUNNING! She really has such an eye for capturing the perfect moments and the quality and colors are just perfect. Myself, my now husband, and friends and family were just in awe when I showed them. I just got married two days ago and the day after my wedding she sent me sneak peek photos and there were SO many - I couldn’t believe how fast the turnaround was. And there’s more photos to come! Everything was just stunning I can’t rave about her enough. You need to hire Maya!!!! Also my friends and family couldn’t stop talking about how fun she was. We love you Maya you are amazing!!!

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.
