Brad M. says, "Michael was awesome! From the moment we met, he put us at ease and we knew we hired the right guy. He was great at getting people to be where they needed to be and keeping things moving during the family photos. Then during the reception he was somehow everywhere all the time capturing so many amazing moments. On top of being super professional and taking tons of photos, he was friendly and funny. Michael was always willing to take any photos that we or our guests asked for.

Rebecca P. says, "I worked with Thom Wolf Photo & Video for over 7 years while I worked in the development department of a nonprofit in Washington DC, SOME, and he continues to work for the organization today. I hired Thom for both his photography, video and editing skills. He is comfortable working on many different projects, including athletic events, galas, portraits, storytelling, promotional materials, interviews and more. I was particularly impressed with Thom's ability to put individuals at ease when he was photographing or filming them. He would take time to get to know his subject, explain to them any of the equipment he was using and answer any questions they had. When plans changed last minute or there were unexpected delays, he never had an issue and was always very accommodating to our needs. One of our annual events, the Thanksgiving Day Trot for Hunger 5k walk/run, was entirely outdoors and had a very early start time of 7:00am and every year Thom arrived ahead of schedule and prepared for any weather. Thom listened to the needs of the nonprofit and worked with us to produce photographs and video footage that are still used today. I would recommend Thom for his expertise, professionalism and attention to detail for any project you had in mind." Read more

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?

Thom is easy-going and flexible to work with. I made a last minute request for a holiday family photo shoot and he quickly made arrangements to accommodate my request. He has a great eye and is a joy to work with. We were so pleased with our photos and are looking forward to working with him again!

Justin is a old friend from high school and I absolutely loved working with him. He made my husband and I feel so comfortable during our photo shoot and really caught the natural us in every photo. I couldn’t be happier with how they turned out! We will definitely be asking Justin to photograph our big wedding. Thanks again Justin! You’re truly amazing at what you do!
