Chaz M. says, "Dylan is the guy, working with creatD, LLC was a phenominal experience and a breeze. Being a local realtor in the Charlotte area, having a reliable contact for photos and videography, that provides the quality that I'm looking for, is challenging to say the very least. Not with Dylan, you will get what you ask for and more. Professionalism, Integrity, and Quality are my biggest take aways. You will experience these same qualities as well, guranteed. Just give him a call! Thank you for everything Dylan." Read more

I've been an artist since I was a child drawing everything I could see. This really helped me fully understand perspective while keeping range and depth balanced. Once I was in art school I was technically introduced to photography and feel in love with it. This overflows into my love of creating unique compositions for my clients and look forward to meeting new people.

We are young and talented fashion forward diverse and versatile able to handle absolutely anything that walks through the doors Almost every tattoo that I personally do is hand drawn on the skin with the exception of portraits and photo realism. So that no one can ever have the same tattoo. And that's what I love about doing tattoos. Every tattoo is as unique as the person who's getting it.

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?

Nathan was very knowledgeable and informative on the details of the wedding. He made us think of things we had not thought of. He also helped us put everything in order and did a terrific job at directing and coordinating the wedding.
