I am a small town photographer who thinks everyone should have pictures of their special moments. What I enjoy most about being a photographer is all the different people I get to meet along the way. I get to help people capture their special moments in life. I have recently learned that at some point in life all your going to have left is the photos to remind you of that special day, that special person, so I want to help make sure we get those details captured.

I empower free-thinking couples to embrace their adventurous side, so they can be themselves on their wedding day. Hi, I’m Victoria! It doesn’t matter if you want to do a 10-mile hike or just collect pinecones - count me in I’ve bounced between the East and West Coast my entire life, so I’m familiar with a large range of US climates and adventure levels.

Payal P. says, "We had such a great experience with Taimoor. As I was speaking to photographs, I could hear Taimoors passion for photography through the phone. From the start he was Super responsive with texts and calls. Our shoot was around 5ish and Taimoor got to the spot hours earlier to help with the proposal set up. During the shoot he made it super fun to take the pics. He made sure he got the shots I had sent him that I liked and everyone loved the end results. He had great equipment for the night time shots as well. Our family was a lot to handle and he was super patient and got creative to make sure we get some great shots while they were all requesting pics as well 😂 I’d def recommend Taimoor for a super fun experience and great results. He’s hilarious and super helpful! We loved working with him. " Read more

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.
