Lev Kuperman Photography 

5.0

Brooklyn, NY
  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $5,500

I grew up in Texas and married a beautiful brown-eyed Jersey girl on a mountaintop in the Hudson Valley. I have the greatest job in the world. I’m lucky enough to witness tears of joy, celebrations of life and the continuation of family legacies on a weekly basis. I put everything I have into my photos, and I’m humbled and inspired by couples who trust me to tell their story.

Lev was hands down the best decision we made for our wedding! His photography skills are beyond talented and his approach to setting up shots is very different than the traditional wedding photographer (with so many "planned" shots and people standing in a line). It was this unique approach that drew me to asking him to photograph for our big day...and luckily, he was available! Plus, at the end of the day, the photographs are one of the few tangible items that one will have to remember the big day. I cannot recommend Lev enough. Anyone would be lucky to have him as their photographer and have all of your married friends envious that they did not have him for their wedding!!

Shanell Bledsoe Photography 

5.0

Knoxville, TN
  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $3,500

I'm the one behind the camera that is bigger than my face. Since 2007, my mission has been to capture every precious moment, both candid & posed, without being obtrusive. Each image should take you right back to that emotion for years to come. You will spend more time with your photographer on your wedding day than anyone else, so make sure whomever you choose, you have a good connection with. My goal is to spoil my clients with amazing images, of course, but also to create a calm environment by having a positive attitude & servant spirit.

If anyone is looking for a photographer, pick Shanell and you won’t be disappointed! We hired Shanell for our wedding in Pigeon Forge, TN on December 4th, 2020. She was available from the beginning to answer any questions that would come up and was great with communication throughout the whole process. The day of our wedding, it rained all day. I thought for sure that pictures would be limited by the weather, but Shanell thought otherwise. Her and her second photographer, Danielle, were troopers and took some amazing photos of us in the rain. It was pretty darn cold, everything was soaked, and yet they were able to capture pictures that I will cherish forever! She made the experience so fun and made us forget about the weather conditions. Besides being willing to take pictures in the rain, Shanell does an awesome job at paying attention to the small details. The wedding album and even the USB drive we received were personalized with special touches that made them feel so special. Shanell is so great to work with and will do a fantastic job at capturing memories for any occasion. I highly recommend Shanell as a photographer and will definitely be making a road trip in the future to see her again for more pictures!

Mallory Munson Photography 

5.0

Denver, CO
  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $5,000

I love human connection and I just so happen to take photos of awesome couples while doing so! After 200+ weddings captured in Colorado I would like to think I am good at my craft. Excited to capture your wedding day, your engagement session or photos of the two to celebrate your love!

I cannot say enough about how INCREDIBLE Mallory is to work with. She recently shot our wedding (solo) and the photos are absolutely stunning. She was so fun for our families and wedding party to hang out with, and she came up with some amazing creative photo ideas when the rain prevented us from shooting at parks nearby Downtown Denver. She was so patient on what was a very stressful afternoon for my now husband and I, and we can't thank her enough for all of her hard work and support. 100/5 stars.

He took the time to explain his services and meticulously broke down any additional options available to us. Importantly, there was no pressure to add extras – a refreshing approach.

Their efficiency was remarkable; they captured every shot without wasting a moment of our special day. What truly impressed us was their creativity.

Victoria Selman Photographer 

5.0

Severna Park, MD
  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $4,800

We are Victoria & Hunter, a married photography & videography duo. Our style is simple and organic, capturing your real emotions & personalities in artful imagery. We currently call Maryland home and love traveling across states, borders, & seas to tell your story. We believe that life is best enjoyed with others, so drop us a line and let’s be friends! *Please contact us directly through our website.

I've grown up in the wedding industry, spending over 20 years learning the ins and outs. Victoria is the absolute most empathetic, kind, thoughtful person I've met in the wedding industry and quite possibly on this earth. From the beginning, she was helpful, sincere, and hysterical as we planned out our engagement shoot and wedding logistics. Whether it a package of homemade soap or inspiration emails, she was a more personalized and wonderful version of Pinterest. When it came to our wedding day, she was able to navigate my large, blended family, nail every shot IN THE RAIN, all the while telling corny jokes, and dancing the night away. I truly felt like I had an old friend with me throughout the entire experience. Her second shooter, Hunter, is her photography (and real life! ) soulmate. As a married couple, they work so incredibly well together and are able to capture the most beautiful moments. Hunter was amazing with the groomsmen, making everyone feel comfortable and natural. Plus, he has great taste in music! Victoria sent our entire wedding pictures, completely edited, in record time. She knows how to capture and highlight every moment genuinely. Finally, a few months after our wedding, my younger brother passed away. Victoria dug up some old photos of him and sent them our way. I've never met anyone as thoughtful as her, truly. This was the easiest and best decision of my wedding planning. Forever thankful for you, Victoria!

Vivian Chen Photography 

5.0

Richmond, CA
  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $4,000

My style is natural and photojournalistic. I love capturing unscripted moments because those are the type of photos that tell a richer story of your day. Working with me means nothing overly posed, nothing awkward, nothing that doesn't feel like YOU. While we'll spend some time doing portraits, my priority is for you to be present and enjoy your wedding day. I like to shoot discreetly with an emphasis on candids so from the moment you first see each other to that last hilarious toast, you’ll be relaxed and focused on one another and not even noticed I’m there.

We cannot recommend Vivian highly enough for your wedding photography! We had multiple guests compliment her professionalism and stealthiness on the day of the wedding. Vivian’s calm demeanor was MUCH appreciated on the hectic wedding day. She is a superstar. She made sure we didn’t fall behind with our timeline even though we had requested a large number of portraits. Even though we’re a bit camera awkward Vivian was great at posing us and guests for shots. But where Vivian really shines is all of the candid shots that capture the pure joy and excitement of the day! She was so fast to provide us with our wedding photos, and we love looking back at them. The photos are framed well, have true to life coloring, and are just beautiful.

Sterling Heights, MI
  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $2,100

HI! I’m Mel. I’m a wife, mother, want-to-be chef, and the creator of Mel Anne Photography LLC, specializing in Detroit Michigan based Wedding and Portrait Photography Services. My mission is create beautifully authentic images, that take you back to a moment in time. I love timeless imagery with a fun and upbeat feel mixed with classic romance.

Melissa was everything we could have wanted from a photographer and more! She is kind, knowledgeable, steadfast, professional, friendly, helpful, proactive, insistent, flexible, joyful, and all around fantastic! Her portfolio can speak for itself, I mean just look at those shots! They are timeless and capture the essence of each couple perfectly. What really drew us to Melissa though, was her unique ability to capture the candid moments. Looking through our gallery, there were of course the fantastic formal photos and more guided shots, but my absolute favorites were all of the other shots, the in the moment shots. She does a great job of capturing people in their best light, even when they’re not posing. Based on how flawless our engagement shoot with her went and how stressed I (the bride) was on the day of our wedding, we were a little nervous about the pictures. The engagement shoot was so smooth and we vibed together so well. The wedding day was very overwhelming and we both were worried that it would show on our faces. But every time Melissa was around (which was often thank goodness!), we were both immediately more calm. We had to pause looking through the gallery because they were too good and we were crying too much. 

We cannot recommend Melissa more! She is top of the line, folks!!!!! For what it’s worth, we are both 29, got married in East Lansing / Grand Ledge Michigan, and bought “The Ultimate Package” (which was super worth it!!)

San Francisco, CA
  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $4,500

Storytelling photography that brings your story to life. There is a story to everything right? There is certainly one to your wedding and even to a portrait session. The in-between moments can be the best moments! Images tell a story and they are there for me to find. This isn’t one image. It is a series of images that provoke emotion and thought. This happens with trust and openness and I know I can only get this if you trust me and I am open enough for you to do that. When there is this intimacy, I can get to the heart of the images and that is when the storytelling photography happens.

Misti is a fabulous professional photographer that really connects with her clients and captures the authenticity of her subjects. A documentary style that is truly extraordinary. If you want those unique memorable organic shots, then Misti's your gal!

Hi I'm Patty, your wedding photographer. I am based in West Michigan and spend over 50% of my season servicing Detroit & Chicago couples. Along with servicing the Michigan and Chicago market, I have slowly begun to expand my territory to include destination work with places like Texas, Virginia, Florida and Spain. I serve couples who understand that this season is one worth being celebrated and remembered. The couples who embrace their family and their people however that looks. Most importantly I serve those who see these photographs as an investment into their legacy.

Patty was absolutely amazing to work with! She made the day feel so easy and smooth! She not only caught all the big moments of the day but also caught all the little, tiny moments that I don't see a lot of photos of on wedding days. We love the photos and will cherish them forever!

She sent a very helpful guidebook when we locked her in and I found it to be super useful! Closer to the wedding, she listened to all our questions and gave us her professional input which helped us make decisions like where pictures were going to take place, who should be included in family portraits and some timeline decisions. So, all in all, the logistics were great! If the logistics were great, then the pictures were perfect! We have so many lovely pictures from our wedding of us, our family, our friends, our dog and all the details! Shaunae gave us a sneak preview before we even left for our honeymoon which was a welcome surprise :) We are so happy with how they came out and we will cherish them forever.

My job is capturing people at their most authentic — and a wedding is just that. An entire day dedicated to two people being true to themselves, to each other, and to the people around them. It’s a story of love and commitment, and one that deserves to be documented. For you, that could be a wedding with traditions and toasts, an intimate elopement full of tender moments, or the dopest party anyone has ever been to. Wherever it takes you, I believe in your love story, and I’d be honored to help capture it.

If I could put that gif of Gaga saying “talented, brilliant, incredible, amazing, etc” I would. I could talk for hours about how amazing Riley is. She is the sweetest, most down to earth and supportive photographer I could have ever asked for. We had so much drama due to extreme winds and freezing weather but you literally would never know looking at the photos and looking at Riley taking them. She was pumping us up, she was positive when we all needed it most, she was everything we needed and I’m forever grateful. This girl got us. She accepted us for everything we are and turned our engagement pictures and wedding pictures into art. I just can’t describe how obsessed I am with her. She will forever be in our lives.

I grew my business after a desperate venture as a newspaper photographer over six years living with student loan debt in my father's basement. But, that soon changed... And in 2014 I had the opportunity to work with some of the best wedding photographers in the state line as a second photographer having 20 weddings that first year. It was brand new to me, it stirred a passion, and I realized I wanted to do this for a living. I found my calling, but that first year was rough, until...

Choosing Erik as our photographer was the best decision we made for our wedding day. Their work is pure magic—each photo a masterpiece, telling the story of our love with unmatched artistry. Professional, unobtrusive, and a true visionary, Erik’s effortlessly captured every emotion and moment. The post-production brilliance elevated the visuals to breathtaking heights. Not only is he an amazing photographer, but he also is a spectacular extra ‘honorary bridesman’ as he puts it. He helped out with so many things other than taking photos - like helping my mom with my buttons. His personality is professional and artistic but also hilarious and personal. We felt like we made a family friend during our time with Erik. If you're seeking an artist, not just a photographer, choose Erik for a wedding day turned timeless masterpiece. Our heartfelt thanks for turning our moments into an everlasting symphony of love. He is worth every penny and so much MORE!

Plus, he gave us some great recommendations around the area that we hadn't even heard of! We have never really had pictures taken of us before in a romantic setting by a professional before, that alone was pretty intimidating for us. Norbert made the entire photo experience a lot less intimidating for us to go through, the pictures came out perfect in the end!

I love exploring the world! THAT is why I love capturing love stories from all parts of the earth. I was living in New Zealand for a few years when I met my husband, Tyler. He shares the same love of wild adventure as I do. Together we have taken roadies through NZ, Australia, Indonesia, West Papua, Thailand, and Papua New Guinea. We have been married for almost three years now and live in Denver together in a little apartment. You can find us flipping vans into campers, bargain hunting at the local thrift store, or literally anywhere in the mountains on the weekend.

We're beyond grateful for Lauren Pippin, who brilliantly captured both our engagement and wedding in Colorado this September. Lauren is a true artist, her creativity shining in every frame, turning moments into timeless memories. Her professionalism and attention to detail made the entire process seamless. Lauren's infectious energy put everyone at ease, resulting in genuine, heartfelt moments beautifully documented. The way she weaves our love story through her lens is truly special. For unmatched talent, creativity, and professionalism, Lauren Pippin is the photographer you're looking for. Thank you, Lauren, for making our special moments unforgettable.

Thanks for stopping by! My name is Berkley and I am a photographer based in South Florida.My journey to becoming a photographer has so much meaning to me. Several years ago my dad took me on a wine tasting trip to Napa Valley. I brought a camera he had given me for Christmas on the trip to California. As we were enjoying our time together, I took some photos of flowers at a winery. My dad complimented my photos from the trip and suggested that I should start a photography business. So I did! I began primarily capturing graduation portraits which led to photographing families, engagements and weddings.

I first met Berkley when I was a bridesmaid in one of my best friends weddings back in 2021. Her energy and excitement for the day was absolutely unmatched and from that moment I knew when it was my big day, I would settle for no one other than Berkley. Two years later, I got engaged and the first thing I did was reach out to her to check her calendar for 2024. I knew I needed to have her as my photographer for my wedding. Luckily she had 3 dates available and that's how we chose our wedding date. All because of Berkley. Her photography style changes with each couple, she is not a cookie cutter, copy paste photographer. She isn't one of those photographers that yells and makes you pose the whole day. She lets you enjoy your day as you would and captures all the beautiful candid moments as they should be. The morning of my wedding when she arrived, she brought this joyful energy and hyped us up the whole day. My husband and I were completely comfortable with her and our photos could not have turned out any better in my wildest dreams. She let us just go with the flow. There is no one in the world I recommend more than Berkley. I will cherish her photos for the rest of my life. She listened to exactly what me and my fiance wanted and stuck to the plan. She let us enjoy our day and not stage anything. It was perfect and calm and us. The best decision in my life other than my husband... BOOK BERKLEY!!!!!

Erin Schmidt Photography

I’m Erin - Aries, born and raised in Metro Detroit. I’m drawn to everything and anything colorful, love going to music festivals/concerts and traveling. I follow waaaaay too many meme accounts in Instagram and will watch a documentary about pretty much anything and anyone. And when I say documentary, sometimes that means reality shows ;)

Erin is a true artist. The pictures she took on our wedding day were STUNNING. We truly treasure every picture she took -- both the posed and the candid. All of the photos felt original to us...no "typical" or boring wedding shots. In addition to her artistic talent, Erin is also very professional. She was great in her communications with us leading up to the wedding. She was helpful in giving us ideas and things to consider. Erin was on time on the wedding day and a very calming presence. Without even raising her voice, she was able to wrangle all our family members for multiple portraits. Erin is an absolute delight to work with and I cannot say enough about her beautiful work!

I am Ashley Strong Smith, the very passionate, sincere and grateful soul behind these very time capsules witnessed within this space. Although I’ve been shooting for over a decade, ASP launched full time in April of 2015 as an all encompassing business and became a Corporation - Strong Smith, Inc. in 2018. Since then, I’ve been beyond blessed to : - Document nearly 450 sessions - Document over a 100 weddings - Receive almost 250 FIVE STAR reviews on multiple platforms - Published nearly two dozen times

Amazing. From start to finish. Ashley leads with her heart first, and it’s very rare to work with people who look at their job from that perspective. My wedding day had some interesting curve balls and she jumped right in to help far beyond taking our photos. We loved working with her- she is like family!

Medford, MA

I'm California laid back, with a bit of New England hustle. I love to be near water and to read books on real paper. (But my Kindle is cool too.) I've listened to the Hamilton soundtrack about 300 times. When it comes to love, I believe commitment and unconditional acceptance are more powerful than fate. I've been told I'm kind of a photo ninja - I'm magically everywhere that the action is, but never obtrusive or in the way. (Coolest compliment, right?)

Shaina and her assistant Jasmine were the perfect pair to photograph our wedding day. Before the day, Shaina and I were always emailing or hopping on the phone. She was always quick to respond and was very helpful when planning our day and making sure we had time to get all the pictures we wanted. She was so patient and was a calming presence during the actual wedding day. Our preview photos came back and we were amazed with how they turned out. We are so excited to get the balance of our photos. I can't recommend Golden Door Photography enough for your wedding or other celebration!

We’re Erin and Peter and we started this company in 2012. Since then we’ve quit our jobs and photographed 275+ weddings all over the east coast (but we’re willing to travel anywhere!) and we couldn’t love it more! Our photography style is cozy, natural and organic, and we love to focus on the in-between moments and the genuine emotions. We don’t pose people but instead direct them to do things that will bring out their real personalities and reactions which help us to get the most authentic photos.

TLDR: Book them now!! We knew Erin & Peter from my sister's wedding, and we were in love with how natural their photos looked and how easy they were to work with. For our own wedding, we were so lucky to book them! They were the most intuitive people we worked with all day, picking up on all of the day's emotions and logistics flawlessly while helping us arrange ourselves for the photos we knew we would cherish for a lifetime. They even helped arrange my dress and veil, and never flinched in our muggy, buggy atmosphere. They were fun, funny, helpful, and in short, a dream to work with. Their talent is superb - we can't recommend them highly enough!

Thanks for stopping by! Here at Grapefruit Photo, we strive to go above and beyond to capture beautiful moments and create lasting memories. We are a team of fun and friendly photographers based in Atlanta but we love to travel. We are also specialized in multi-culture and destination weddings. We have a certain style that is colorful, bright and clean, if you like this style then we are the right photographers for you.

My Wife and I got married on September 24th, 2023. Hiring Yo and Grapefruit Photography was the best decision we made while planning. It’s quite clear that she has a burning passion for photography. From the beginning, we gave Yo creative control of the photography. Looking back 1 year later, that was the 2nd best decision we made. The photos turned out better than we could have imagined. She was also a helpful guide during the planning process. She brought welcomed experience to help us plan other aspects of our day. She’s a one man show; she does A to Z when it comes to weddings. At various times during the reception and rehearsal dinner, she would come up to us and say she had some inspiration. Each time we quickly went with her and took a front row seat to the magic she creates. The photos were breathtaking and unreal. She is the Queen of Golden Hour. She is extremely prompt with sneak peaks and the total collection. She was so excited to share. On the rehearsal dinner, she sent us way over 100 edited pictures THAT NIGHT. It was within 3-4 hours. They were top quality and magical. The night of the wedding she sent many more pictures THAT NIGHT. The emotions from the event hadn’t even left before we received such amazing memories. Yo and her assistants were phenomenal. We look forward to using her services any chance we can get. Yo and Grapefruit photography will also hold a special place in our hearts for capturing our most important day through a magical lens.

Loren Jackson Photography

Massillon, OH
  • Classic style
  • Starts at $4,200

Hi, it’s me, Loren! I feel completely honored to have captured more than 100 love stories since 2011 - and if I’m being honest, I’ve teared up at nearly every one. I live for precious moments that only happen on such a monumental day - and capturing those moments for eternity feeds my soul. The kind of gotta-have-’em moments like... The tear that gracefully rolls down a Mother’s cheek as she laces up her daughter’s wedding dress. The look of pure amazement on a groom’s face as he sees his beautiful bride for the first time. The joyful smile on a bride’s face after she plants that first sweet kiss on her new groom.

Loren is amazing to work with. She gives us ample time to get our shots and is always double checking with us when and where we will be. Love working with her!

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.
