I believe something powerful happens when you get to clearly express your story to someone else. This can be about your product, your service, your mission, your team. It’s one thing to have worked it out in your own mind, but it’s taken to another level when you’re able to articulate it out loud to an attentive audience. Your purpose will become more clear to you and those around you. Your motivation gets stronger. You will create more meaningful connections. We know something important will change in us as well as we facilitate that process. That’s the vision at the heart of every film we create and every photo we capture.​

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 are your packages, and what do they include?
  • What add-ons are available? Can we customize a package to suit our needs?
  • How many hours do you work? How much do you charge if we go over that time?
  • Can we discuss unique shots we'd like?
  • 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?

  • Will we own the rights to the digital images?
  • Do you provide high-resolution digital files? Do they cost extra?
  • What size can we print the finished files?

  • Can other guests take photos while you work?
  • Do you work with an assistant or second shooter? Can I meet them before the wedding?
  • How many weddings do you photograph in a year?
  • Do you charge a travel fee? What does it cover?
  • How much do you require on deposit? What is your payment schedule?

Reviews for Hartford wedding photographers

Recent success stories from people in the Hartford area.
Autumn S.
I have done several of my own shoots with Steve over the past 20 years and I have ALWAYS felt 100% comfortable. Lingerie shoots are very personal and for me, he is the only one I've ever trusted and felt secure and uninhibited around. My husband also feels comfortable knowing that I'm safe and our shoot is entirely professional! "

I needed a last minute headshot for work, and Steve went above and beyond to deliver. Not only did he let me book on a Friday night, but he let me take as many photos as we needed with different poses/backgrounds/etc until we got something that truly worked. Moreover, the photos were edited and delivered to my inbox that night! Steve's pricing is extremely fair and he is a truly skilled professional- I will definitely work with him in the future and highly recommend! Jess H. on February 4, 2017

We were on our honeymoon trip in Bora Bora and chose Stephan and Bonnie to capture the special moments for us. They did an outstanding job selecting the best shooting spots and helping us with our poses. In the afternoon we booked for the shooting, the weather was not very good. Stephan and Bonnie were very patient to wait for the sky to clear. While the weather was not getting any better, they offered to come again the next morning to continue the shooting. The photos are absolutely beautiful and we are very glad to have chosen Stephan and Bonnie! Highly recommended!
