Jessica R. says, "From the moment we began to converse about my wedding, I knew I liked this man’s energy. His character was so sweet and genuine and I could tell he loved his job. Photography isn’t just a job for him, it’s truly a passion and he wants you to have a great experience. His name “Your moment, my lens” is the perfect name because he truly connects with you to be comfortable to capture special moments of your life. I’m so blessed and thankful that I found this man here on this cite. When I began searching I was looking for a photographer for my wedding. He offered a pre wedding shoot and I was in awe of that. He does this to connect with you, get to know you, and make sure your big special day is what you always dreamed it would be. My man is a very serious man and he got him to smile and laugh and we had a great time working with Nicky. I can’t wait for the big day on October 6 2024. He’s already been so amazing and I highly recommend this experience with him!" Read more

S B. says, "One of the best photographers I’ve ever had the pleasure of working with. Amazing attention to detail in each and every image. From lighting, image perspective, foreground and backround every image came out better than I could have ever anticipated. My wife and I initially began working with Rob and Shutterbug Studio when we hired him for our wedding. We found him to be kind, energetic and he blended right in with he wedding party. Nothing about our photography experience was overwhelming and Rob made every effort to relax us and feel comfortable which made every image come out even better. After we saw the pictures from the wedding we were more than elated. There was not one bad picture in the batch and each and every person and scene photographed came out great. We ended up hiring Rob multiple times for other work after the wedding for company pictures at holiday parties, head shots for employees and even some product photography. We’ve never been disappointed and he’s our go-to guy anytime we need any photos taken. " 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?

If you have run into Robert Kandell, then you've run into an excellent photographer. We've used him for professional head shots, and for a family reunion. Robert is quite the competent professional photographer. I like how he puts all the shots on a website, from which you can download. There's no part of photography that he doesn't understand and excel at. He's a nice guy too! I can't recommend him highly enough.

I am so pleased to be giving Steve Fogel Photography a 5 star rating. Steve is so easy to work with - He is pleasant, professional, prompt and reasonably priced. An all-around good guy... We were visiting the Bay Area from Boston to celebrate my husband’s Birthday. All of our children and their partners came out to surprise him for the weekend. This is such a rare occurrence with everyone’s busy schedule that I decided (very last minute) to find a photographer to mark the occasion. I took a chance on fash.com and fortunately found Steve Fogel Photography. He answered me immediately and followed up several times before the photo shoot. The day he arrived was not quite ideal weather, but we wanted the pictures to be taken outside with the ocean as a backdrop. Steve took several pictures of our group, as well as pictures of the individual couples. We were able to view the photos when Steve returned a few days later and make our choices just before leaving to go home. Because we live on the East coast, our finished products will be shipped to us. Easy, breezy! We can’t wait to view our finished product, but we have seen all the photos and they are amazing! We are thrilled to have found Steve and will always remember such a wonderful weekend in California. Thanks Steve for everything!
