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 Plainfield wedding photographers

Recent success stories from people in the Plainfield area.
Autumn S.
I have done several of my own shoots with Steve over the past 20 years and I have ALWAYS felt 100% comfortable. Lingerie shoots are very personal and for me, he is the only one I've ever trusted and felt secure and uninhibited around. My husband also feels comfortable knowing that I'm safe and our shoot is entirely professional! "

The pictures came out great. He caught fantastic moments I couldn't have on my phone. I'm glad I hired him for my babyshower. He was quick with getting the pictures sent. I'd recommend and I'd rehire him.

I recently needed a professional head shot for my website. Like many people, I do not like having my picture taken! Bill made the experience not only productive - my photographs are beautiful - but fun! Yes, I said "fun". I took Bill's advice and had my makeup done by his in-house makeup artist Jill Harth, and the results were magnificent. I was so comfortable with Bill and Jill by the time we began to shoot, I felt more like we were three friends enjoying an afternoon together. Really wonderful in every way and I would recommend Bill (and Jill (!) highly to anyone in need of an excellent photo of herself.

I cannot say enough great things about working with Franklin from FJA Photography! We hired him for my daughter’s 1st birthday. The photos came out amazing. He also created a slideshow from our photographs which was so beautiful. He truly captured the entire birthday, all my friends, my family, the event decorations, and lots of candid pictures. His pricing is great, and he truly cares about his clients. I highly recommend FJA Photography to anyone looking for great quality photos!

It was a great pleasure working with Mr. Michael. He was very patient, friendly and dedicated to his work. He was hired for my daughter’s first birthday party. He was there before time to see the location. We had the best quality pictures from him. He completed the work on time as we spoke. Will hire him again. I would highly recommend him. My entire family loved his photography.
