Serves Manchester, MI
Scott H. says, "My musical project, Wesley and the Crushers (https://www.facebook.com/wesleyandthecrushersband), has been working with Three Ribbon Studios for several years now. Each time we have asked them to perform some type of multimedia work (video, sound, graphic design, etc) they delivered the agreed upon work in a timely, professional manner, each time FAR surpassing our high expectations. We have been blown away time after time by their abilities to transform what was (in our minds) substandard source material (aka a crappy performance) into something that we can take great pride in. I simply cannot recommend them highly enough!" Read more

Your photography questions, answered

Answers to commonly asked questions from the experts on Fash.

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:

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.

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.

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.

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.

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?

T.c. took amazing photos of my wife and son. We got some of the best photos when T.c. just let my son play with some toys. There is such motion to the pictures.

I’ve known Adam for years after doing his Hero Worship series. He has ALWAYS made me feel at ease in front of the camera (I am one of those weird actors who doesn’t love getting photos taken). He is friendly, knowledgeable, and I have loved being a part of his various photo series’ over the years-he is so creative. Adam gives great direction while taking your photos and has a great indoor studio space with nice outdoor space available as well. Seriously, go give this man some business, he is awesome!

From 1st meeting, consultation, planning & execution of the multi date projects, Josh & Chris have been straight up with me. I put on music concerts at my venue and Three Ribbon Studios are on site to A/V record them. After their post production work, they are sent to me for review and approval. Clarity of focus, AV sync and music quality: see for yourself at https://bluestagejams.com/category/video-archives/ From gear purchase recommendations, through installation, capture of shows and thru to final display pages these guys have been a pleasure to work with and deliver your moneys worth. When there are glitches, as in all projects, we quickly work out problems in an equitable fashion. TC DeLisle, BLUEStage Jams
