Bradley A. says, "I was fortunate to meet Craig in a professional setting and my magazine has benefited tremendously from his natural artistic talent. Craig is professional to the end in every respect. His work speaks for itself. However, I've had opportunity to stand right over his shoulder and see his perspective through the lense of his camera. I have watched him survey and immediately identify the perfect setting in a room to set up and shoot a scene. I especially appreciate how he manages all the moving parts to find a window for alwayings producing the perfect shot. The way he carries himself is unassuming and he handles celebrities like he can read their minds. He subtly plays to the pride and ego driving his subject's vanity to guide them to where he knows will produce the best scene. Don't even start me on Craig's skill with photo editing..." Read more

Your photography questions, answered

Answers to commonly asked questions from the experts on Fash.

How much does a photographer cost?

The average cost to hire a photographer is $100 to $250 per hour, depending on their experience. However, photography prices vary significantly depending on the type of event or photo session:

Do you tip photographers?

The standard tipping etiquette for photographers depends on the type of photo session or event and how happy you are with the photographer's service:

  • Tip a wedding photographer $50 to $200 if the photographer exceeds your expectations. If the photographer works with a second shooter, be sure to tip the second photographer separately.
  • Consider tipping a family portrait photographer, pet photographer, or newborn photographer if you're happy with the photo session. However, tipping is not expected for family portraits taken at a big box store like JC Penney or Wal-Mart.
  • Tipping a photographer is not expected for headshots, commercial photography, real estate photography, or architectural photos.

If you're happy with the photographer's service, post a positive review online and share their photos on your social media.

How can I save money on a photographer?

Follow these tips to save money when you hire a photographer:

  • Book a "mini-session" – a shorter photo session that lasts only 20 to 30 minutes.
  • Choose your favorite photographers and follow them on social media. Some photographers may provide deals and exclusive offers.
  • Hire a less experienced photographer. However, be sure to review their portfolio to confirm they have enough skill to meet your photo needs.
  • Purchase prints from an online retailer instead of ordering them from the photographer.
  • Bundle multiple photo sessions for a discounted price. Some wedding photographers bundle engagement and wedding photos. Other photographers offer a bundle for newborn photos plus additional sessions as your child grows.

How far in advance should I book a photographer?

Book a wedding photographer as early as possible, ideally as soon as you've confirmed the date with your venue. Headshot, commercial, pet, and family portrait photographers typically don't require as much advanced notice. However, a popular, in-demand photographer may be booked out several months in advance.

How can I find the best photographer near me?

Follow these guidelines when searching for a photographer to ensure you find one who is the best match for you:

  • Look for photographers who specialize in the type of photography you want. A photographer who specializes in weddings won't be the best choice for a newborn baby photo shoot, and vice versa.
  • Review their online portfolios to confirm you like their photography style and aesthetic.
  • Read photographer reviews on Fash and Google.
  • Get a contract in writing before making a deposit.
  • Discuss the photo usage and printing rights to confirm how both you and the photographer can use the images. Photographers typically retain the copyright to the images, allowing them to use the photos for marketing and social media.

What questions should I ask a photographer?

Ask these questions to help you choose the best photographer for your needs:

  • How long have you been in business?
  • What type of photography do you specialize in?
  • What is your photography style?
  • Do you have an online portfolio I can view?
  • How far in advance should I book my photo shoot?
  • What deposit do you require, and is it refundable?
  • Do you have a photo studio? If not, where will you take the photos?
  • What should I do to prepare for the photo session?
  • How will you deliver the final photos to me?
  • How long will it take to get the photos?
  • Do you offer printed items or photo albums?
  • Who owns the rights to the photos?
  • Will you use my images on social media or your website portfolio?

Mark has given me great customer service in the past 16 years. He’s provided ballroom dance competition photos with good composition, coloring, and promptness. His advantage is in knowing what the dancer’s next move will likely be and hitting the shot perfectly.

Everything! I called Jason late in the week prior to my shoot, which we were able to book on the following Monday--so great that he could get me in so soon for this session. His studio is the best, great vibe, great playlist, great setup--and Jason was great throughout the session--very professional and knowledgeable, guiding me through poses/stands/looks. It was a terrific experience-we were done in just under an hour and he had my my proofs via e-mail (which were fabulous!) the same evening!! Five stars for this photographer!

I spent a long time researching wedding videographer in my area and was hit hard by their work, they automatically went to the top of my list and we are so happy that they could shoot for us.After having the opportunity to meet, it was clear how their personality and passion matched their talent, these guys are a force! On our filming day Sung were focused, professional and attentive behind the lens and so much fun during all the bits in between. Group shots were super smooth and efficient in studio And then individual shots with my wife were just a blast. Through out the day Sung continued to bring a thirst and enthusiasm for capturing photos and what made that day so special for us, i know those images will be personal and we cant wait to see them. Videography was a big thing for us and having the talent and personality of Sung entrusted with that responsibility was a dream.
