From the moment we first reached out to Evoke Photography & Video, their communication was great. The photographer, Sarah, got everything done that needed to be done to capture our special day. When we received the final photos, we were so amazed at the quality and beauty of her work. The pictures were incredible, especially the family portraits and the stunning sunset shots.

Working with Sound Originals was a dream! They were incredibly communicative leading up to the wedding, eager to send reminders and answer questions as needed. They listened to our concerns and made sure to prioritize the things we valued- like taking photos outside, getting LOTS of group pictures, and enjoying candid snapshots. The day was unexpectedly rainy, but our two photographers were ready, enthusiastic, and full of creative ideas.

More than a decade ago, two sisters - knew there had to be a better way to allow talented photographers and videographers to focus on what they do best -- create gorgeous art -- while providing couples with better support in the planning process. Together, they created an all-inclusive, stress-free environment where couples can choose from talented local photographers and videographers and work with a small team of planning experts equipped and eager to make everything a success. With the pressure gone, you can truly enjoy your big day. Relax and rest assured that all the emotional and moments will be documented with unmatched quality.

OLAS were the easiest vendor I worked with throughout the wedding process. Their quick and efficient communication gave me the peace of mind I needed when it came to wedding photos. I had a very specific vision for our imagery, and OLAS and our photographer were more than accommodating as I neurotically guided some photos. Our photographer came equipped with a great attitude and even better skills in capturing our day, and I couldn’t have asked for a better wedding photography experience.

Tomi Photopositive

Denver, CO
  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $2,100

Hello, I'm Tomi, a Wedding Photographer with over 500+ weddings under my belt. I live in Broomfield, Colorado with my amazing wife and my dog Teddy. I capture authentic, creative and emotionally driven wedding moments. My photography style has a mixture of unique candid photos combined with some traditionally posed shots, all edited with the more warm and true-to-life color editing style.

Awarded Best of Zola
We booked Tomi Photopositive for our October 2024 wedding in Genesee Park, Colorado, and got exactly what all of his other perfect reviews rave about; Relentless compassion and positivity, regular and professional communication, timeliness in every regard, and of course an amazing collection of photos we get to cherish for the rest of our lives. We struggled to find an affordable photographer for our simple and small wedding. Some quotes came in exorbitantly high. One even wanted us to sign a contract before we could even schedule a virtual meet & greet to see if we'd all vibe. We found Tomi on Wedding wire, and we loved his portfolio (and his pricing almost seemed too good to be true based on his work), so we reached out. We set up a zoom call, and it was clear right away that Tomi loves what he does, and that he cares about his clients. This initial meeting was everything a nervous couple could hope for, it silenced much of the fear of booking someone we knew very little about. Though not included in the wedding photography package, we booked an engagement session with Tomi. I am so glad we did! It was worth every penny! Aside from great photos themselves, it gave us a good feel for how he works ahead of the wedding. Plus, it was fun, and we got some great shots! Tomi will go out of his way for his clients. One example is that he had never been to our venue (Chief Hosa Lodge - if you're looking for a wedding of 35-65 guests) before, so he went to the venue before the wedding to get a feel for all the best spots. He did this on his own time, and did not charge us extra for it. While we had originally hoped for a sunny day and sunset photos overlooking the mountains, we got snow and fog. Tomi seized the opportunity and turned the "disappointing" weather into one of the more memorable aspects of our day. For any couple who is considering not using a photographer, we strongly caution against it. we originally wanted to go that route or was looking for someone cheap (1000). However, finding Tomi was a blessing from God, and his pricing is more than worth it! His photos are eons better than anything you could hope for from an amateur photographer or cell phone grab. And seeing the final polished photos a couple months after the fact is like getting to experience your special day all over again. If you're still reading this, stop and book him. You will not be disappointed.

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!!

I don't think there are enough positive things that I can say about Megan. My husband and I do not consider ourselves to be "photogenic" at all. However, Megan made the photography process truly enjoyable. From our engagement pictures to our wedding pictures, she made the entire process hassle and pain free. Megan truly listened to what we wanted and was also there to offer suggestions and input of her own, which we truly appreciated. She is extremely responsive, helpful, and organized. Due to COVID, we were constantly shifting our wedding plans and Megan was there every step of the way. Although the day itself was very different than we could have every imagined, Megan captured it beautifully. We love the brightness, colors, and natural beauty that Megan emphasizes in her photography; I truly feel that I am "there again" when I look at what she captured. To summarize, we are extremely pleased in our decision to use Megan Rei Photography. Her prices were competitive and her service is top notch and professional.

Hey there! My name is Marilyn. I live in New York City with my sweet partner, and our orange cat Maple. I’m an introverted, soft-hearted mush with an insatiable need to document the beauty in life. Practicing self-portraits in middle school eventually led me to pursue my photography degree from New York University, and I have been joyfully creating photos of wedding days ever since. To me, weddings are a magical display of the human spirit. It’s my biggest honor and joy to create imagery that captures that human magic - especially in a way that breaks the boundaries of historically gendered traditions.

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!!

Hi everyone, I’m Carolin, originally from Würzburg, Germany, and now living in Bradenton, Florida. For over 11 years, I’ve been a professional photographer, specializing in weddings, couples, and families. My background in graphic design helps me focus on capturing beauty and detail to create lasting memories. In my free time, I love relaxing at Anna Maria Island’s beaches with my husband Philipp and starting my day with a Chai Latte from Starbucks. I’m also passionate about exploring new cultures and traveling. Can’t wait to get to know you!

We were looking for a photographer who would capture our special day in more than just photos. It was essential for us to have someone who could convey emotions and capture those natural moments. Let’s be honest—typical posed wedding photos aren’t something anyone looks back at later. With Carolin, we hit the jackpot! She is incredibly friendly and works professionally, delivering results that are amazing and worth every euro. We chose the full package with photos and a wedding film, and we couldn’t be happier with that decision. Our friends and family love the memories of our wonderful day, and the enthusiasm from our guests for Carolin has led to several bookings for more weddings and family photos—what better compliment could she receive? Everything went smoothly from the start. Whenever we had questions or felt uncertain, Carolin was always there to help and listen. Her self-created wedding planner was an incredible aid for our timeline. If you want unique memories of your wedding that are anything but ordinary, Carolin is the perfect choice. We are so grateful for everything and look forward to showing this wonderful video and these photos to our children one day. A heartfelt thank you to Carolin!

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.

Willow Photo Co. was a dream to work with from start to finish. Their communication style was quick, easy, and painless - they were always responsive to our questions and made sure we had a solid plan in place for our wedding day. They were passionate, dedicated, and paid incredible attention to detail when capturing all of the special moments we had planned for. 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.

Enchanted Celebrations was truly an amazing company to work for. We got the package with photographer, videographer, DJ, and photo booth and it was the BEST thing we did for our wedding.

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.

Justin was an amazing photographer for our elopement (just the 2 of us)! We zoom chatted with him before booking him, and we loved his vibe immediately and knew we would be comfortable in his presence to fully express all of the romantic, intimate, and silly parts of our relationship. He did a fantastic job with the details, including flagging 5 days in advance that our elopement date would be rained out, so that we were able to immediately reschedule for 2 days later. He expertly laid out the train of my dress, helped me fix my hair, etc. and also touched up the photos afterwards to fix little things. He did a great job guiding us with suggested poses while also capturing our spontaneous candid moments. It was a very fun and relaxing photography session, and the photos turned out amazing -- perfect lighting, composition, etc. 10/10 would recommend him to all couples!

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!

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.
