We absolutely love how our photos turned out and would consider them if we ever needed professional photos again.

All three were incredibly professional, kind, and patient—especially when it came to wrangling our families for group shots. From the very beginning, the communication was thoughtful and organized. We had initial and week-of calls with Evelyn and Bogdan, which helped align our vision and made us feel confident going into the day. We sent Evelyn ideas and poses we liked beforehand, and she was able to recreate many of them throughout the day.

I can’t say enough wonderful things about Duet.

Hanel and his entire team were absolutely incredible. Mike was our lead photographer for both the engagement session and wedding day, and Hanel was our lead videographer. This was the vendor I spent the most time researching, and I couldn’t be happier with my decision. Not only do I love their style and quality of work, but I also found their pricing to be very reasonable for the level of talent and professionalism they provide. Most importantly, the final photos and videos truly captured the magic and emotion of the day.

Awarded Best of Zola
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.

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.

Justin is beyond amazing. He is a calming, fun, and professional presence all in one. Even outside of photography, he helps out wherever is needed. He literally fanned me while I slogged up stairs in my wedding heels and dress in 90 degree heat and humidity to get to our ceremony so that I didn't melt. He is also so on top of all of the details and the timeline. He makes everyone feel comfortable. To top it all off, he has an amazing eye for capturing beautiful moments and places. My pictures have come out more amazing than I could have ever imagined. I cannot recommend him as a photographer and human being enough.

We had received endless recommendations for our Novemeber 2024 wedding and Emma Melin Studios was on every recommendation, because she’s that good! We met Emma over zoom in Jan 2024, she was polite, kind, and genuinely wanted to hear about on LGBTQ love story and our vision for our wedding day. Emma shot our engagement shoot in Asbury Park NJ (a place that is so special to us) we have such a blast grabbing drinks, pizza, and even ice cream throughout our shoot, which led to phenomenal engagement photos that truly fit our relationship and personalities to a T. During the shoot Emma communicated with us effectively, letting us be ourselves. Fast forward to the best day of our lives. 11.02.24– Emma shot our wedding day in Philadelphia, PA. She communicated with us over zoom the week prior to create a timeline and to discuss a list of things we definitely wanted her to capture. I remember sitting in the chair getting my hair done when she came to the bridal suite all my nerves went away. Emma radiates passion for her craft while truly appreciating every relationship she encounters. Emma made us feel so comfortable on our wedding day, hyped us up, and took the dopest pictures of everything we wanted and more. We not only gained endless memories to relive through these photos but we always gained a friend for life. Whatever you do- book Emma Melin Studios!

I didn’t even know where to begin! Choosing to work with Vic was hands down one of the best decisions we made for our engagement. Since my partner and I don’t really use social media, we’re not exactly selfie pros—in fact, we’re pretty awkward in front of the camera. That’s why we knew we needed a professional to capture this special moment, and let me tell you, Vic was amazing. As someone who had no clue how to pose, I was so grateful for her expert guidance. She made the entire experience feel effortless, and our photos turned out absolutely stunning—timeless, elegant, and so full of emotion. I never imagined I’d actually enjoy taking photos, but Vic made it such a fun and memorable experience! Beyond her incredible skills behind the camera, she was also a fantastic adviser when it came to choosing locations, and her warm, friendly personality made us feel completely at ease.

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!!

I can't even begin to tell you how amazing Candace is. She was the photographer for my stepsons wedding last year and did an amazing job. We got married this month and chose her as our photographer as well. She did not disappoint. My stepson and his wife are young and beautiful but we are much older (46-50). I was afraid of how the pictures would come out due to our age. She did amazing. Her editing is perfect and she captured so many "real" moments. We can't wait to see what she does with the rest of the pictures but here is how she did with some sneak peak ones she sent me. She was great to work with!

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.
