Brandi M. says, "I recently earned my doctorate and wanted professional photos in my regalia, so I chose S-L Productions because their prices were more reasonable than others. Qaiser was my photographer, and he was punctual and accommodating. Having never taken professional photos before, I had no idea what to do, but Qaiser was very patient and guided me with posing to ensure I got the best possible shots. After the shoot, he even kindly gave me a ride home, saving me from relying on a ride-share app. I received the photos within three days, which was faster than I expected, and they turned out beautifully-definitely worth the money. I highly recommend Qaiser and his team for your photography needs." Read more

Hi everyone! My name is Lauren and I've been shooting photography for over 10 years. I started out in high school doing portraits with friends, then graduated to focusing more on nature and architecture. I work with people who have zero experience in front of the camera all the way to models who know what's up. I'm a very laid-back and down-to-earth person who wants you to have fun and laugh along the way!

I create kickass imagery for real people and incredible brands. My photographs tell a story – your story – in a unique, authentic, and badass way. So it’s safe to say that I’m not your average photographer. Then again, I’m not your average anything. Chances are, neither are you (and that’s why you’re here). I can’t wait to share some whisky in real life and get to know all about you and how I can bring your story to life.

I LOVE STORIES. Everyone has one. As a photographer, it is my passion to bring those stories to life by illustrating your story through the power of the still image. When I pick up my camera, my goal is simple; shoot what feels genuine and sincere. Perhaps it’s the perfect moment a mother has with her baby, or a teen has on their senior photo shoot when they realize just how cool they really are, or a couple has on their wedding day when they forget I’m even standing there and share a heartfelt glance. Those magical moments are what energize me and make me love this art form that is professional photography. I’ve loved taking pictures for as ...

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.

  • How would you describe your photography style and approach?

Reviews for Bloomington wedding photographers

Recent success stories from people in the Bloomington area.
J U.
SL Production is amazing in their service! I greatly appreciated the help and quickness of the response Qaiser gave me. I enjoyed his amazing and friendly conversations and also greatly enjoyed learning about being the subject of a photograph while taking the pictures. His assistant was amazing, and I appreciated feeling valued for the time! He truly is above and beyond! As a local guide for Google, I highly suggest booking a time with them for any event!
