David J. says, "It's that he listens to what I want, makes suggestions towards getting that done, and delivers. Imagine having to do headshots in my own home, how do you make that happen? Daniel brings the gear, makes the "set" and after the selections are made, you can't tell it wasn't done in any studio" Read more

Danielle C. says, "We happened to pick a perfect day to take family portraits. This family portrait is a Christmas present for our parents, we hope they will be thrilled when she sees the pictures in the snow, especially my mother who is very sentimental with family photos and thought she wouldn’t be getting any this year! John, along with his daughter Johchine, worked quickly and perfectly together. We had 11 people to photograph in a short time, and 2 little ones whose patience are still not mastered. John worked with everyone perfectly and made sure we had all the poses as we wanted before finishing up the set. Some of the siblings were saying how easy going and great he is to work with and he is that he is very professional and very knowledgeable! Thank you, John, Johchine and Life To Lens for memories to cherish! What a fun time it was. Dawn, Danielle, A.J., Mary, Yolanda, Jeff, Joe, Taylor, Oskana, Emily, Jax" 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 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?

  • Do you charge a travel fee? What does it cover?
  • How much do you require on deposit? What is your payment schedule?

Reviews for Dover wedding photographers

Recent success stories from people in the Dover area.
James E.
John’s knowledge of photography is amazing! He took us out for a family shoot for our baby announcement photos. We choose a little park we both had knowledge of and my wife thought would be the perfect background. John was able to guide us to the perfect spots for all of our shots. With myself, wife and 4 kids in tow, he guided us to each of our locations and made sure my kids were helped along the way as he helped them to some of the locations for shots on the water. Then he framed the shots perfectly and captured some amazing photos of my family. He was a pleasure to work with, very professional and friendly.

We had a frantic morning and nothing seemed to go right! David and his wife, Tamika, helped out with the wedding preparations in addition to their photography duties. The images are really excellent and the canvas adds a nice personalized touch to their package. They definitely went above and beyond and I would highly recommend them.

Barry is truly a phenomenal photographer! Over the years, he has photographed my children's birthday parties, holiday family pictures as well as a baby shower I hosted. He's very professional and friendly as well as captures the best angles of all the guests. It's very important to him to capture the essence and details of the event he is photographing. He has even stayed overtime to make sure he captures all of the wonderful memories for your family! I highly recommend Barry Page if you're looking for a photographer.
