Laura B. says, "Choosing a photographer for our wedding was a decision I did not take lightly and I spent more time researching photographers than I did on anything else for our wedding day. I loved the quality of the photos I saw in Ashley's portfolio — some of them I thought could be featured in a magazine. Now that our wedding day has come and pass, I am so glad we chose her. She was so friendly, sweet, and energetic, and I think she made everyone feel really comfortable. I cannot stop looking at the photos she's shared so far and can't wait to see the rest! Cannot recommend her enough!" Read more

As a former football player, I learned discipline and how to focus my efforts and energy toward a common goal along with my teammates. I believe in order to create great images for my clients, I have to have the same mentality and follow the processes as an athlete trying to help their team win. I have to work out during the offseason to improve your skill sets. I have to have a common bond with teammates (clients). I develop a game plan to achieve my client’s goal(s). I also have to communicate with my teammates to execute that said game plan. And most importantly I do my absolute best and leave it all on the field for my clients. I no longe...

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?

Christopher was an absolute joy to work with. His passion for photography and capturing all the small moments was evident in everything he did . He went above and beyond any expectations I could have had even extending our time together so he could capture a few more precious moments. I would hands down recommend him for any event.

Ashley and Shawn were heaven sent! I had a vision for both my engagement & wedding pictures/videos, they by far exceeded my expectations. They both are extremely talented at their craft. From the very first meeting they were professional yet personable. I look forward to working with them again in the future. We are forever grateful!

I've worked with Richard for 15+ years and have always found him to be a flexible, pleasant, and highly professional photographer. His capabilities include lifestyle, corporate, architecture, and food photography which is rare to have that kind of range. He's a go-to for me when I need a project to get done right, and I've always enjoyed our partnership.

Mercia was so patient and made the experience fun! We laughed the entire time we spent with him but he was still professional. He listened to what we wanted and had great ideas for posing and background. Our pictures turned out amazing and we would recommend Mercia to anyone!
