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.

My Twin brother and I have been taking photos, videos, and more for over 12 years. We have had a passion for the art for capturing real life moments from Weddings, to corporate needs, all the way over to music videos and fashion shows. We take pride in taking care of our customers and have lower rates than any company around. Without going into some long drawn out story about getting here we must say that the most rewarding aspect of the work we do is when a person receives the photos and video and they are so pleased with the work we did by capturing their special moment is absolutely everything. Without those reminders it would be like any ...

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?

Reviews for Hickory photographers

Recent success stories from people in the Hickory area.

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. He took control of the reception 14825952 up everything and keeping the events rolling on time. We could not have did it without him. I would highly recommend him and his company to anyone.

Usually a photoshoot will yield maybe one or two great pictures that are fit for framing. Greg Briley's use of lighting, background and creative ideas for drawing out my personality have given me MANY beautiful photographs to choose from. So many, in fact, that I am having a hard time deciding on the "perfect one"! There are only a small handful of reputable and talented headshot photographers in North Carolina and many of the actors I know will travel for hours to find the right person to shoot them. I highly recommend Greg Briley as THE go-to photographer in Charlotte for acting headshots. No need to travel further! He was a pleasure to work with - I felt very comfortable and the photoshoot was fun! He brought out the best in me and I feel confident using his work to market myself.
