Awarded Best of Zola
I can not stress enough how important Nate & Alex were to the planning and execution of our wedding day. Without their guidance and expertise I do not know how we would’ve done it. These two are much more than just great wedding photographers. Their experience & expertise made me feel very comfortable on a day when things were very hectic. They had a job to do and they made sure everyone was in the right place at the right time. The pictures they took turned out beautifully and better than I could have ever imagined. We also opted for their photo booth package, which was a big hit with our guests. The pictures from the booth were projected out onto a screen in the ballroom for everyone to see. The quality of those pictures also turned out great. I highly recommend this photography team for any event you want to remember for the rest of your life.

Rachel Lahlum Photography 

5.0

Minneapolis, MN
  • Classic style
  • Starts at $2,100

Hello, I’m Rachel! I am a wedding, portraits, and events photographer based in Minneapolis. I’ve been a professional photographer since 2012, and have experience photographing over 300 weddings – not one has ever felt like work. I think I have the best job in the world. My approach is to capture the story of your wedding day, from start to finish. Because no two couples (or weddings) are exactly alike, I customize my approach specific to you. From the moment we connect, it’s my goal to help you feel at-ease. I'll help you plan your day, work with you to find the best locations for photos, guide you through poses, and we'll make it fun!

Rachel is absolutely incredible! My husband & I can’t say enough about how she truly helped make our wedding unforgettable. Her photos speak for themselves. We were amazed during the whole process and now watching our video footage back she did so much behind the scenes to make our day flow so smoothly. Rachel is so personable & her attention to detail is unmatched. If you truly want the best look no further!

Hi there! I'm Sarah Layne. I like eating pizza, jamming out to my Spotify playlist, and quoting Harry Potter. I'm also a wedding photographer who loves working with joyful couples. I can't wait to meet you and help bring your vision to life!

Sarah emailed me the gallery from a wedding we both worked on as vendors and I almost cried with joy at how gorgeous the photos were. It was extremely thoughtful of her to gather the email addresses for all the other vendors so that we were all able to have these critical moments of our work documented and be able to share them with others and celebrate the couple. The photos of the cake cutting were the best I've ever seen---so much detail included, so many candid expressions, absolutely lovely lighting and color. Thank you, thank you, thank you Sarah.

Sam & Grace Photography 

5.0

Grove City, OH
  • Editorial style
  • Starts at $3,750

We are partners in life and in business. We can't get over working together! We've been married over 10 years and have 4 beautiful kiddos together. Sam loves capturing wedding films and Grace loves wedding photography. We are goofy and love Star Wars, home brewing, and trying new things!

We love our wedding pictures and video from Sam & Grace! I encourage you to read the rest of this review, but before you continue, do yourself a favor and call to book Sam & Grace before someone else does. You can thank me later. Just like you, we were looking for a photographer and cinematographer to capture our wedding day. A family friend highly recommended Sam & Grace, who had used them a few months prior for their own wedding. We shopped around to compare prices. Their services were, by far, the best value. However, we received much more than a fair price; we had the pleasure of working with two great people. From day one, Grace and Sam went above and beyond the typical expectations of a wedding photographer. They laid out a process that helped manage the stress of our big day. They not only provided a timeline and details for pictures, but also helped coordinate other vendors and moving parts throughout the night. We had several touch point meetings leading up to our wedding. It sounds simple, but the logistics for our wedding were not typical. The wedding was held in OH, but the bride was in SC and the groom in FL. This just added complexity to our process. That said, Sam and Grace's expertise made preparations that much easier. We greatly appreciated all of Grace’s insight and suggestions to make sure everything went smoothly. They also took great consideration to listen to us and really understand how we envisioned our wedding day. And when our wedding day came, Sam and Grace executed! From the first picture of getting ready to the final picture for our send off, Sam and Grace were there. They were in constant communication with the event planner and DJ, helping to stick to the timeline and capturing all of our important moments along the way. However, most importantly, they made sure we were happy. I specifically remember when we sat down to begin eating. While Grace was snapping away, she noticed a slight concern on our faces. Grace came over, asked us what was the matter, and then took it upon herself to notify the event planner that there was a mistake with our food. Again, not her job, but one less detail we did not have to worry about. The venue quickly apologized and took measures to resolve the error. If you are not convinced yet, all you have to do is look at Sam and Grace's work. Oftentimes, couples have to hold their breath to see how their pictures turn out. That’s not the case with these two professionals. Just look on their Facebook page and Youtube channel. You will see that time and time again, they deliver. Actually, after all was said and done, and they had posted our pictures and video, my husband and I thought we should have paid them more than what they had asked! Sam and Grace under promised and over delivered. That said, if you are looking for detailed professionals, who have a gift for capturing special moments, look no further than this beautiful and kind couple.

A word of advice, hire them! Hire them for both photo and video! I feel blessed to have stumbled across Jen and Brian’s company on my search for a videographer and photographer. Jen was wonderful to work with from the get go. She was willing to drive hours from her home for both my wedding and my engagement photos. She is so flexible and ready for whatever Mother Nature throws at her. Our pictures and video are just amazing! They were able to capture the moments in such a way that it’s like you’re reliving the day over again. Throughout the ceremony I had no idea they were even there, they were like ghosts but they captured every important moment. I will cherish these photos and video forever. I hope one day I have a reason to go back up and hire them again for some photos.

Hello there! I’m Karen, a wedding and portrait photographer based out of New York. I love photographing LOVE! Connections.

I have a passion for traveling and exploring the world, and my life is filled with a lot of laughter, incredible food and wine, and photo adventures with clients turned friends.Memories are such a vivid representation of our lives and capturing the spirit of each couple, family or individual in that sliver of time is an opportunity I am very proud to call my work.

She does a great job with coordinating the logistics of the timeline while capturing all of those special shots and moments. I wholeheartedly without a doubt recommend Laura for engagement and wedding photo's.

Lakewood Ranch, FL
  • Classic style
  • Starts at $2,795

Wedding photography is a family heirloom to be treasured and passed down through the generations. It is a great responsibility to photograph your wedding and one that I am honored that you are considering me for. Weddings are fun, hectic, sometimes chaotic days, filled with laughs, tears of joy, and a celebration of lifelong love. I will be with you from the start of your wedding planning process and after. While many of the vendors you pick you will only interact with just once or twice until the wedding day, your photographer is your partner both before and after the wedding. Contact us to learn more about our exceptional service team.

Awarded Best of Zola
We hired Shutter Speak for our wedding and it was the perfect choice. Joe was professional and very detail oriented. He took a mixture of posed and candid shots, some color and some black-and-white. He worked particularly well with the children ("say pizza!") and we have some terrific pictures of them dancing and having fun. At the end, he created a beautiful photo slideshow that I was able to share on Facebook, as well as wedding albums we and our family will be able to treasure for years to come. I highly recommend Shutter Speak!

Bearfoot Photography

Dublin, OH
  • Starts at $1,350

Hey, I’m Jenna. Nice to meet you! Thank you for taking the time to stop at my website and familiarize yourself with my business. It’s taken a great deal of effort to get to this point in my life and I appreciate your consideration in using my services the next time you need a photographer. My outgoing attitude blends well when I’m working with someone during a photoshoot. I go into each session knowing the other person may be nervous, or unsure of what to do. Maybe it’s the first time they’ve had a professional take their picture.

Jenna was great to work with! She did our family photos last year which doubled as our engagement photos. She was fast and efficient which is perfect when you have a lot of people that don’t like their photo taken! We booked her for our wedding this year and has been excellent with giving us ideas for poses and timing to make sure every moment is captured!

Minneapolis, MN
  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $5,000
  • Offer

I'm a Minnesota-Based Wedding and Boudoir Photographer and believe in documenting the moments that matter most to you. Most days you can find me hanging with my three boys in yoga pants and my favorite baseball hat. And, of course, sipping my creamer with a slash of coffee. I’m not a girly girl, I don’t do the color pink, and can’t braid for the life of me - hence why God blessed me with boys. It’s those boys who are the heart behind my business.

Christina Naselli was an absolute joy to work with for our wedding photography. Her communication style was clear, kind, flexible, fun and respectful throughout the entire planning process, which made her a pleasure to collaborate with. Christina created a thoughtful wedding day timeline for me and was happy to modify it based on my feedback to ensure we were aligned. She also provided incredibly helpful tips and advice and assisted with coordinating my wedding party. On the actual wedding day, Christina kept me calm with her upbeat energy. And most importantly, the quality of her work is stunning - the photos perfectly captured all the special moments of our wedding and we could not be happier. I cannot recommend Christina highly enough!

I’m Vanessa, a Gaithersburg, MD-based couple + wedding photographer for the wildly in-love. My life was changed by love. Seriously, rocked, rumbled, wrecked, repeat. Okay, it might sound dramatic, but my relationship with my now-husband has truly changed my world and soul for the better. We were lil baby high school sweethearts turned long distance when my husband joined the Marine Corps, and our journey together means absolutely everything to me. I know yours does too, and getting to capture it is the hugest joy and honor.

Vanessa was fantastic! Start to finish, she was so committed to making sure she captured our wedding how we wanted. She is fun and easygoing, which made working with her a breeze. Amongst the chaos of a wedding day, it’s so important to have a photographer who is cool, calm, and collected. Vanessa and Patrick were both dedicated to capturing the planned photos (diligently checking off each photo in a shot list) and unplanned candids throughout the night. Thank you Vanessa! Highly highly recommend!!

Over the last 4 years I've had the honor of capturing several families and weddings. I fell in love with photography because I got to capture people in such beautiful seasons of life and help create classic, timeless images for them to share with generations to come.

Awarded Best of Zola
BriRose Photography shot my husband Aaron and I’s wedding June of 2019. Bri was on time, ready to go, explored the venue for best area to shoot, creative, detailed, fun, and flexible from the moment she arrived until the end. She made sure she accomplished every dream shot I had discussed with her previously when we met (also didn’t skip a beat with other candid natural shots as well)! She went above and beyond on every detail. Her presence and advice became so natural for instructing both my husband and I in posing— not a single bit of awkwardness. We laughed and enjoyed ourselves — she makes the moment(s) feel true and genuine. I can guarantee not all photographers embody that connection with their clients. All that she did that day was as though she was a dear friend who cared and wanted the best for her friends to enjoy moments together. The emotions we evoke when looking back at our wedding album embrace those same glorious feelings of our special day once again as if it were yesterday. Bri has talent- no doubt- but her presence really made everything so peaceful and about our day and capturing it as if it was just Aaron and I were the only ones there. I can’t recommend her highly enough! She is a gem, a precious rare one indeed.

Sunnie Heers Photography

Denver, CO
  • Fine art style

A few things about me – Tacos and margs are some of my passions, I think The Office is comedic gold, any day off you’ll find me skiing, hiking, camping or (attempting to) rock climb, and most importantly – I really love photography.

We cannot say enough about our beautiful experiences with Sunnie. She is the most talented, beautiful spirit inside and out. Sunnie has shot our engagement pictures, a family shoot with our new puppy, and our wedding August 27, 2021. When we first met her for our engagement pictures, I was defintely nervous as being in front of a camera made me feel a little shy but Sunnie literally made it feel so natural and not only that, but so fun. When we saw how gorgeous our engagement pictures were, we knew she was the one for our big day. Fast forward to our wedding and just wow. Looking back, we can't imagine the day without her. Her presence is so calm and sweet and it really felt like hanging out with my dear friend all day. And she has truly become that to me. Her talent is beyond words. She guides you the whole time and really perfects her art. We even got in canoes on the wedding day, Sunnie with all of her gear, totally fearless, during sunset, to get some pictures that turned out pretty iconic. It is worth every single penny to have your pictures shot by Sunnie. We love you Sunnie! Thank you for sharing your art with the world in the beautiful way you do.

She was such a hype girl and made everyone in the bridal party feel amazing. It was so fun working with her and I feel like I have a new friend. Her pictures are beautiful and gave us a sneak peak so quickly. I cannot recommend her enough.

Hi there!! I'm Kie, pronounced like pie. I've been a photographer of some sort for nearly a decade, but weddings didn't come into my life until 2020 (perfect timing!!), it's become my personality trait and I truly don't think I could love doing anything more than this. Some things about me: I prefer series over movies (Gossip Girl, The Office, Buffy TVS, How I Met Your Mother are some of my faves), I'm nothing if not a Paramore fan, I love cute and cheesy romance novels, and I think I am hilarious. I love being your #1 hype girl, joining the party at the reception, and making you comfortable on your big day :)

Kie flew out to NYC to shoot our wedding and it was the most amazing experience. She took everything we asked for I to consideration, we chatted before the wedding a handful of times, she checked in frequently, and she is also just the sweetest person around! We got back our sneak peak shots and I am obsessed! They are so dreamy and perfectly capture just how much love we share.

Crosby, MN
  • Editorial style

Writing an about me page is a terribly revealing experience! Who takes the time to think "Who am I?" or "How would I describe myself to other people?" The temptation is to brag and be pretentious in order to convince you that I'm important, but instead I looked at my life and made some amazing discoveries. My life revolves around people. I love people. When I need to make a decision the people that it will affect are always the number one priority.

Tim Larsen Photography was the perfect choice for our wedding photographer. Tim's communication was on top of everything - he responded quickly to emails and calls, and kept us informed every step of the way. The quality of his work and value were the best we could have had. Not only did Tim capture incredible photos that we will treasure forever, his rates were very reasonable. Tim is so personable, witty, and made everyone feel comfortable in front of the camera. He really contributed to making our wedding day go smoothly. In addition to taking fantastic photos, Tim helped create a seamless schedule, provided vendor recommendations, and went above and beyond in many little ways. We can't recommend Tim highly enough for wedding photography services. His professionalism, talent and friendly demeanor lead to photos we never dreamed we could have. Thanks Tim!

On the wedding day itself, Ashlyn posed us perfectly, calmed our nerves when things got hectic, and was by our side for every important moment. She's a breath of fresh air and has a way of making you feel comfortable and relaxed even as the craziness swirls around you! Ultimately the photos turned out exactly as we had envisioned thanks to Ashlyn's flexibility with our timeline and desired photo locations. We couldn't have asked for a better wedding photographer and highly recommend her services!

Greensboro, NC

Hiya! I'm Courtney! I'm not your average photographer. I'm something so much more than that. From the moment you step out of your car and greet me to the moment you get back in your car and drive home, I'm there with you cheering you on, telling you how GORGEOUS you look, and making all those weird cute baby noises at your little one. I'm the one who stays up all night to make sure you get those images just in time to send out Christmas cards.

Thistle and Ivory was AMAZING to work with from start to finish. Courtney is very easy to talk to and she really tries to incorporate all your ideas for your big day! She has done my engagements, bridals and my wedding and I will use her for future photos as well. She gave me almost 100 photos to sneak peak before we even arrived to our honeymoon! I really can’t say enough good things with her passion and quality of her work!

Taylor Gonsoulin Photography 

5.0

Bradenton, FL
  • Fine art style
  • Starts at $3,500

My journey with photography began about twelve years ago when my love of making art and appreciation of history came together. During my formal fine art training with film photography and the darkroom, I learned how to be truly intentional with the images I make. Today, I am constantly inspired and influenced by the world around me: books, movies, fashion editorials, traveling, and even my very own Cajun roots. All of this leads me to have a photographic style that has a balance of fine art, editorial, and intentional documentary vision. My approach can be best described as timeless with an artful touch.

I love getting to work with Taylor! She is so easygoing, sweet and amazing at what she does!

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.
