“Hiring Eivan’s for our wedding was a great decision! Our photographer Gregory I was professional and FUN! He kept us smiling throughout the day with his quirky personality! My fiancé does not care for photos so I’m happy we had someone working with us who could make him comfortable. He made sure to get multiple images even if it was just “one more”, it was never one more! We had actually hired a different photographer and we replaced him with this company. Worth the stress and money! If I had any tips for the company, it would be to have your photographers give a 30 minute warning before their contracted time is up. Weddings are so busy for the bride and groom, it is very easy to lose track of time. I think clients would appreciate a little heads up just so they can try and capture any photos they may have missed. Other than that, I have ZERO complaints. Such an amazing experience! 10/10 highly recommend :)”

Hi there! We're the team behind Duet Photography & Video. We're a collection of wedding photographers, filmmakers, designers, and editors. We each have our own story of how we've come to be a part of this incredibly field of wedding journalism. As individual as we are, we're all bound by the same love for our craft – the artistry of blending documentary journalism with stunning, creative vision. 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
“I used Duet for my June 2025 wedding and had a wonderful experience with them from start to finish. Everything from our first meeting through the weeks following our wedding day was seamless, and the communication throughout the entire process was clear, timely, and professional. My husband and I are both very easygoing and wanted to work with a company that understood our vision, could take charge when needed, but also wouldn’t overwhelm us or constantly pull us away from our celebration for photo opportunities. Duet delivered exactly that. The pre-wedding questionnaire was extremely detailed and was very helpful in making sure we had conversations about our timeline, priorities, and expectations ahead of time. On the wedding day, the lead photographer even came over to us at one point with a checklist on his phone to make sure they had captured all of the group shots we requested. Other than that, they gave us space to enjoy our wedding and worked the room naturally, capturing so many special moments without us even realizing they were there. Once we received our photos and films, Duet was also very receptive to feedback. There were a few photos that had been edited in black and white that I preferred in color, and they were happy to make those changes for me. I did express some disappointment with the length of my edited reception film. I understand that the film is an edited snapshot of the day, but I felt that it was significantly shorter than the average range that had been discussed with us during our prior meetings. That said, Duet listened to my concerns and worked with me to lengthen the film to include specific moments that I requested, which I really appreciated. One thing to keep in mind: make sure you complete your wedding album within one year of your wedding date, as there is a small additional fee if you go beyond that timeframe. Overall, Duet was an amazing company to work with. The entire process was smooth, the communication was excellent, and most importantly, we felt like we could truly enjoy our wedding day while knowing our memories were being captured beautifully. I would absolutely recommend Duet to other couples looking for a photography and videography team!”

Our focus is on real moments, beautiful light, and photos that feel like you. Whether you’re planning a cozy backyard wedding or an adventurous elopement in the mountains, we’ll capture it with care and creativity.

“Our experience was far beyond what we’d hoped for! We had so much fun at the engagement shoot; it felt like spending time catching up with friends, but then we somehow also ended with incredible photos of us as a couple that we’ll always cherish. This translated to the wedding day but also extended to so much more — as a couple we aren’t particular about a lot of things and prefer to go with the flow and enjoy the moment. Megan and Kenneth both provided a sense of structure for us without anything ever feeling forced, using both wedding expertise and also careful consideration of us as individuals. From the way Megan rapidly buttoned up my dress, to the beautiful shots taken of our treasured guests, to the bits of advice and kind encouragement before the ceremony and in our first moments as a married couple - our day truly wouldn’t have been the same without you both. We felt so lucky to have two people helping us to be present and focus on one another throughout the craziness of the day - and to have Kenneth make sure that my dress stayed clean and unwrinkled! I wish we had better words to capture how great our experience was! We also had very clear and consistent communication via email and video calls throughout the process! As someone who was planning quite a bit in advance, they were the one vendor I never felt nervous about because of large periods of time lapsing without hearing from them.”

Already, from only what we've seen of the photos so far, I am awestruck at the way Daniel brought out a type of smile from me that I have no other photos of. I've been told I have a soft smile and can be somewhat self conscious when posing for photos, but Daniel erased every bit of that feeling. The entire day was magical, and I can't imagine anyone else being able to capture what he did. My family and friends had a great time during photos, he made us laugh, he made us comfortable, and he captured it all. Simply put, it was a blast, and he was a key part of it all.

She made everything feel easy and comfortable, and she was creative and helpful while literally giving us guidance with each pose. She also checked in throughout the night to make sure we were good. Gemma definitely was born to do this! We are so incredibly blessed that Gemma was there to capture our day. We truly couldn’t be happier with our experience. If you’re not sure who to book for your wedding, trust me—you’re going to want Gemma from NOVA!”

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.

“We got married in Dallas at The Joule and couldn't have asked for a better photographer than Michael Anthony Photography. From our first conversation, Michael was responsive and easy to talk to, which made the whole process feel smooth and stress-free. He helped us nail our wedding timeline so the day flowed perfectly, and his cinematic style really brought our vision to life. The photos are absolutely stunning, bold and full of emotion in a way that feels like watching a movie. We knew Michael wasn't the cheapest option out there, but the quality we received made every penny worth it. We're so grateful to have found him and would recommend him to any couple looking for a photographer who truly cares about capturing their story.”

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.
