Orly S. says, "We used artistic DJs, for Audio, Lighting, Photo booth, DJ/Music, Videographer, and Photography. We went to the bridal expo in Secaucus and they were on our list to check out since they fit our budget and had great reviews specifically for DJs, we ended up stumbling upon David and James and used their photobooth and got into a good conversation about all the services they offer and the packages. Husband walked away saying I think we found our whole team in one company, We liked their energy and collected vibes, compared to other vendors who showed off light-up dance floors, and DJs who just felt excessive, David and James set up an experiential booth that was felt like the guest of the wedding experience, they welcomed us, hyped us up, and also made us feel like their guest at a huge and tiring bridal expo. From there we were able to discuss style and vibes, we wanted documentary-style photography and casual videography, and they delivered. We met with Fitz their lead photographer for an engagement shoot in May and he was calming and polite, and a lot of fun to get to know while he directed us, he just allowed us to be ourselves and really captured some great photos at the engagement shoot. On our wedding day, Fits and his second shooter David, were so wonderful and amazing to work with, they captured the energy and details of the night candidly, with a few posed moments. They were wonderful! James and his videography team were also great and had such great hype for the day, They truly captured the essence and vibes of the day. David and his DJ team, and lighting and sound, were wonderful, everything was crisp, and they worked well with all the changes since we had to go to a rain plan and move the ceremony to the restaurant. The photo booth that was included in our package was also great, our guests had so much fun! We were very happy with the results!" Read more

Your photography questions, answered

Answers to commonly asked questions from the experts on Fash.

How much does a photographer cost?

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:

Do you tip photographers?

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.

How can I save money on a photographer?

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.

How far in advance should I book a photographer?

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.

How can I find the best photographer near me?

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.

What questions should I ask a photographer?

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?
