We have a 12-year-old, an excitable German Shepherd, a lackadaisical mastiff, and a complete love for our work. However our journey into the wedding world was accidental. Bryan worked as a commercial photographer shooting for brands like The Gap, Michael Kors, Vera Wang, and David’s Bridal. He shot his first wedding standing in for a photographer who showed up drunk. Then there was a set of bridal portraits for a commercial client who wanted to see what she looked like in her dress. Next, we shot a wedding for a friend as our present to them. We fell in hook, line, and sinker after that; and once we were in, we were all in! We pride ourselves...

Your Wedding Photography questions, answered

Answers to commonly asked questions from the experts on Fash.

How much are wedding photographer prices near me?

Wedding photography costs $1,600 to $3,600 on average but often exceeds $4,000 in major cities. Wedding photography prices range from $700 to $10,000, depending on the package, add-ons, location, and number of photographers.

When to book your wedding photographer?

Book your wedding photographer as early as possible, ideally as soon as you choose a date and reserve a venue. The best photographers book events more than 12 months in advance, especially for weddings during the peak season.

What to expect from your wedding photographer?

Before the wedding day

  • Discussion of the photographic style and your needs and wants
  • Contract and initial payment to reserve the date
  • Reviewing the wedding day timeline to ensure you schedule enough time for key photos
  • Engagement photo shoot, if included
  • Rehearsal dinner coverage, if included

On your wedding day

  • Capturing key moments during the getting-ready process, ceremony, and reception
  • Traditional or posed photos of the wedding couple, bridal party, and family
  • Photos of candid moments throughout the event

After the wedding

  • Photo editing and retouching
  • Delivery of proofs, typically via a private online gallery
  • Assistance with photo selection and album design
  • Delivery of prints or an album, if included

How much should you tip a wedding photographer?

Tipping a wedding photographer is not required but is usually appreciated. Consider tipping $50 to $200 to express your gratitude if the photographer exceeds your expectations.

How much do wedding photographers make?

Wedding photographers make $40,000 to $60,000 per year on average, depending on their experience and location.

How do I find wedding photographers near me?

Start by searching our list of wedding photographers, then compare reviews and costs. After finding and contacting potential services:

  • Decide which photography style and aesthetic best suits your wedding.
  • Ask for referrals from friends, family, your wedding planner, the venue, and other wedding vendors.
  • Read their reviews on Fash and Google.
  • Choose a pro who specializes in wedding photography.
  • Interview your favorite photographers and discuss your ideas and vision.
  • Ask the photographer about their pre-wedding, wedding day, and post-wedding process.
  • Schedule an engagement photo shoot to allow you to work with the photographer before the wedding day.
  • Get a detailed contract in writing that breaks down everything included in your package, the payment plan, and the refund and cancellation policy.
  • Discuss the photo usage and printing rights to confirm how you and the photographer can use the images. Photographers typically retain the copyright to the images, giving them the right to use the photos for marketing and social media.
  • Beware of basing the decision solely on pricing. The photographer with the lowest price may lack experience or isn't as good as local competitors.

After asking questions and verifying their credentials, hire the photographer in your area.

Reviews for Montgomery wedding photographers

Recent success stories from people in the Montgomery area.
Kisha
What I enjoyed was how fun Ela makes her sessions. If your a shy person in front of the camera such as myself she will make you feel very comfortable. She also has an eye behind the camera so your pictures will come out very beautiful. Not only does she take adult or children photos she also takes infant pictures. As you know setting up for an infant is much different. Ela knows how to handle infants very well which makes taking pictures much easier. Her creativity with both objects and positions for the photos are brilliant. If you struggle with how to pose don’t worry she will show you with ease. I will most definitely be booking more appointments.
