I'm a dynamic photographer with an eye for amazing shots in any environment. And for as good as my photographic vision is, I'm an even better listener. I will deliver exactly what my clients are looking for every time. Everything! I love to help make the experience of enjoying the milestones in life become powerful stories that transcend the event and become life's journey markers. I've been a professional musician since the young age of 13. Shortly after going pro as a musician, I picked up a camera to document my journey as a touring musician. I started to see the powerful stories told by great photographer's and slowly learned the fin...

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.

  • How would you describe your photography style and approach?

Reviews for Rancho Cordova wedding photographers

Recent success stories from people in the Rancho Cordova area.
Thomas B.
Laura took the time to review all of my photos. Going to her for the shoot was a good decision on my part because she really knew what she was doing. I trusted her throughout the process and things went completely well. I recommend choosing Laura because she spends the quality time getting to know her clients. There were a couple of conversations I had over the phone along with getting on time text messages. If you want somebody who will respond then go with her because she makes it very simple for you. There were some very good back drops and props I used during my photo session too and I got to say I loved every last one of them. It was great working with you Ms. Berard and glad I know what really good photography work is all about. This is a review from Thomas Blaike. Your the best Laura and thanks.
