Michael provides a product that most people lack, and that's customer service. He communicates effectively, ensures you are getting the best product available, and delivers his photos in any format you prefer. The thing I love most about photography is the joy it brings people. When you capture a moment, it lasts forever and that person is able to look at it for the next 50 years.

Push play and you be the judge (It will open up my Facebook share of a destination wedding in Savannah, Georgia which I shot in 8K and then scaled down to 4K) https://fb.watch/dRR0fINFw0/ What I enjoy most about my work is the creative freedom my career provides. I love traveling as much as I love composing my shots. The filming and networking aspect is the cherry on top!

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?

  • How many weddings have you photographed?
  • Do you have our wedding date available?

Reviews for Utica wedding photographers

Recent success stories from people in the Utica area.
Adrianne
Mark was so knowledgeable about how to work the evening’s light to achieve the best photos possible! He was knowledgeable about equipment use and took his time to learn my goals for our photography session. He explained a lot of the process while doing the photo shoot and wouldn’t settle for less than perfection with the photos! I received my photos in no time at all, and the quality is professional and perfect. Mark followed up to make sure I was very happy with the photos taken and offered to make things right if there was something else I wanted from them. Little did he know they were perfect. It’s amazing that he was able to capture the spirit of the subject so accurately and beautifully. I’d recommend Momentworx Photography to anyone!
