With over a thousand weddings under our collective belts, we've photographed and filmed weddings of every shape and size imaginable. We can't wait to document your wedding as well!

Awarded Best of Zola
“Duet did my sisters wedding and we HAD to have them for my wedding this July. Duet's team is truly the best in the game. Our pictures and videos are STUNNING and perfectly capture our entire day. Duet followed up with us several times before the wedding day to curate a custom vibe and plan for who we'd take pictures with and how we wanted our video to be. I couldn't be happier with the results. Throughout the entire process beforehand, day of, and afterwards, the team was incredibly professional, kins, patient, and adaptive. I was especially excited to see sweet moments that were not planned captured beautifully in our photos (like when my students showed up to the church! *sobbing*) My family and I have recommended them to others in our close circle and their experiences have all been beyond expectations. My sister got married at the same church as me and we had both taken photos at Old Westbury Gardens. When comparing our photos, Duet had even taken this into consideration and made sure that our photos were at different locations within the venue so that they were unique. They were incredibly attentive and I definitely got the sense that they really listened to our feedback from our conversations prior to the wedding day, making our video fit our personalities. If you don't hire them, you're missing out!!! THANK YOU times a million to this incredibly professional team for your effort and kindness. Rewatching the gorgeous film gives me great joy as I can relive the day and remember the moments and details I forgot in the blur of it all. Thank you again from the bottom of our hearts for capturing our perfect day!!”

“TWA Photographic Artists were straightforward and direct in their communication, and kept us on schedule throughout our wedding day. Their work was great, capturing many timeless and detailed shots. However, at times they seemed a bit hurried when working with our wedding party and guests, though they remained attentive and eager to get the right shots. For example, the photographer remembered the little details that made our photos special, but we felt a bit rushed after the ceremony and didn't fully capture the joy of those moments. Overall, TWA provided solid photography services, but could have been a bit more patient and attuned to our desired pace for the day.”

“Words cannot express how amazing it was to work with Misha & his Quality Media team. Misha went above & beyond to make us feel comfortable & direct us while taking every shot. The team made us incredibly comfortable & prioritized all of our wants & needs above all. We planned our wedding in less than 90 days & Misha was there to guide us every step of the way...giving us the best recommendations! The entire Wedding flowed seamlessly thanks to the amazing team work between all of our vendors & the venue! Overall great experience! We received amazing quality work, with great communication & flexibility. We were incredible fortunate to have found and booked Misha and the Quality Media photography & videography team! Bonus: Don't be fooled, Misha knows how to break it down on the dancefloor too.”

Michael Anthony Photography

McKinney, TX
  • Fine art style

I'm Michael Anthony, a wedding photographer based in Dallas–Fort Worth, with a second studio in Los Angeles. I shoot across DFW — Dallas, Fort Worth, McKinney, Frisco, Prosper, Plano — and travel for couples marrying farther afield. Nine countries and 1,000+ weddings so far. My approach is editorial and unobtrusive. I document the day rather than direct it, because I want your images to make you feel the moment again, not simply see it. I take a limited number of weddings each year so each one gets real attention. Tell me your date and venue and I'll confirm availability right away.

“As the head of a wedding floristry business, I've collaborated with numerous photographers, yet my experience with Michael Anthony Photography is worth a special mention. Michael, the driving force behind the lens, brings an unparalleled blend of artistry and finesse to his photography. My experience with Michael was nothing short of extraordinary. His ability to capture the subtle interplay of light and color in our floral arrangements was mesmerizing. He didn't just photograph flowers; he told their story, weaving them into the narrative of the wedding day with a sensitivity and grace that is rare to find. Jen, Michael's wife, brought an equally impressive level of skill and dedication to the table. Her meticulous attention to detail ensured that none of the intricate elements in our floral designs went unnoticed. She worked with a gentle, unobtrusive approach, which allowed her to capture stunning, candid images of the arrangements in their natural wedding setting. She captured a ton of detail images for me that I can use in my marketing. The synergy between Michael and Jen created an environment where creativity flourished. It was clear they understood and respected the importance of every detail in a wedding, especially the floral elements. Their work not only highlighted our designs but also enhanced them, providing a fresh and beautiful perspective. Awarding Michael Anthony Photography a 5-star review is an easy decision. Their professional yet personable approach, combined with their exceptional photographic talent, sets them apart in the wedding industry. I wholeheartedly recommend them to any couple in search of a photography team that will capture their wedding day with elegance, artistry, and an attentive eye for every beautiful detail.”

About wedding photographers

How much does a wedding photographer cost?

Wedding photographers early in their careers can cost as little as $1,500. Super experienced photographers, as seen in magazines like Vogue and Vanity Fair, can cost upwards of $30,000. The range is wide, but, in general, you can expect to spend around 10% of your budget on wedding photography. Rates also vary based on wedding length, the services you want, and location. A photographer based in an area with a lower cost of living, for example, will be less than one based in New York or San Francisco.

How much should we tip our wedding photographer?

A good rule of thumb is to tip 10% of their rate, or at least $100. If they’re bringing second photographers or assistants, an additional $50 to $75 per person is an appropriate and nice gesture.

What questions should we ask wedding photographers?

Aside from logistical questions about packages, pricing, and availability, it’s also important to use your conversation to get a sense of their personality. This person will be with you and your loved ones every step of your wedding day, including, if you want, in the dressing room! It’s very important that you and your partner both feel comfortable with them and their working style. Talk about your venue, how you want to feel when you look at your photos, and which photos from their portfolio you like best.
