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 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.

What questions to ask wedding photographers?

Ask them the following questions when hiring a wedding photographer:

  • How would you describe your photography style and approach?
  • Can we see full galleries from a few recent weddings?
  • How many weddings have you photographed?
  • Do you have our wedding date available?
  • How far in advance do we need to book with you?
  • Have you ever shot a wedding at our venue before?
  • Do you have experience shooting weddings of a similar size and style as ours?

  • How much extra do you charge for an engagement shoot or rehearsal dinner coverage?
  • Do you provide retouching, color adjustment, or other editing services? Do they cost extra?

I had the pleasure of working alongside Mikey at a wedding; and I can attest that he is an absolute professional, talented, and hard working photographer/videographer. I caught a glimpse at some of his drone footage of the couple, and I was really impressed by the quality...and this was before editing! If you're looking for someone who can offer you a complete media package for your special event along with an upbeat personality, Mikey is your guy!

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've known Michael Asmar's work for a long time, having met him in a photo shoot for the Magazine of Santa Clarita, and later on one for SCV Elite magazine. He has taken portraits of me, my husband and I, and recently of our daughter. This time we hired him for a family portrait on canvas. We worked out the pricing via email (my preferred mode of communication) set up the shoot and it went off painlessly. (We even had fun taking photos of him too!) He came back to our home to show us the photos, some minor touch up work he had done as an example, share some of his techniques (brush strokes anyone?) and spent quite a bit of time helping us select just the right photos. Soon he hand delivered our new portrait masterpiece - among a few others we couldn't resist - and they are wonderful! I highly recommend Joie de Vivre Photographie to everyone!

I had the pleasure of working with an amazing fashion videographer for my wedding photography, and I am beyond thrilled with the results. Their creativity, professionalism, and ability to capture the most magical moments left me speechless. From the start, they understood my style and preferences, translating them into breathtaking shots. Their friendly and calm demeanor made everyone feel at ease, resulting in candid and genuine moments. The final wedding video surpassed my expectations, beautifully edited with perfect music choices. I highly recommend this talented fashion videographer for their exceptional work and ability to create lasting memories. Thank you for an unforgettable experience

Sadly we did not wind up using this service. It was the first confirmation of a vendor for our 50-year reunion. I had all of our info tucked away and finalized. When I called him a few days before the reunion he said we had never returned our contract. That on my end was not true....being so efficient to book him first. He was booked with someone else....so I had to scramble to book another vendor. More expensive. Pictures were terrible. So very disappointed at all outcomes!
