With over 25 years of corporate and wedding photography I can bring a level of quality, experience and customer service to my clients head and shoulders above others.

I graduated from Hawkeye Tech Photography in Iowa in early 90's I worked as a corporate photographer for over 25 years all the while photographing weddings and family portraits on the weekend. I started to realize I could really take Dear Hart to another level so I went full time on my own and have not looked back. I now do over 60 weddings a year(with help from my ...

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?

  • How would you describe your photography style and approach?

  • How many weddings have you photographed?
  • Do you have our wedding date available?

Alison is the best! She is so wonderful at making your photography wishes come true and capturing every moment!

Megan was absolutely wonderful! Our session took place outside and was a family session with my spouse, 12, 11 and 8 year old. Megan was patient and kind working with three kiddos. Our dog even joined us unexpectedly and Megan captured some outstanding shots with him included. When the proofs came back, there were candid shots that I will treasure forever. We didn't even realize Megan taking shots while we were rearranging people/scenes. The images were phenomenal! Crisp, beautiful color and discrete editing. Megan checked in with me regarding preference with coloring etc. Megan was flexible with scheduling in order to obtain the best colors and lighting for an outdoor shoot. We are thrilled to have found a wonderful photographer to capture moments.
