Bayo was truly a mind reader — constantly in the right place at the right time and somehow captured every special moment without ever feeling staged or forced.

“The Sound Originals team were fantastic people to work with, not only due to their professionalism, but also because they were great people to have around. They were extremely comfortable and friendly while working with us and taking photos. Even when it came down to the dogs, 2 of which were panicking because they are rescues and being around so many people stressed them out, this didn't even phase the Sound Originals team which impressed me the most. Their professionalism with their gear was truly amazing to see (we have some professional photographers in our family who were commenting on this too), you could tell they knew how to handle their equipment. One thing that I loved was that they took the time to create cute photogenic moments to capture with the camera that would normally be over so fast, you would probably miss it. Every photo, from the goofy spur of the moment reactions - to the posed adorable moments, came out beautifully. Thank you Sound Originals for working with us! We couldn't have asked for better photographers.”

My name is Branson and I am the Best Of State Winner in Utah. I have traveled to over 80 countries photographing and filming weddings in all corners of the globe. I also teach photography and videography to other creatives and am known for my timeless, romantic, and candid style.

“TLDR The value you get when choosing Branson Way more than offsets the cost. He is a world class photographer and equally excellent in post. Pick him and he will not let you down. Pick someone else and you're rolling the dice. Branson's Photography speaks for itself, but it can't leave a review so I will! Any photographer can take a picture, few can capture moments. What was important to my Fiance and I when selecting a photographer was someone that would do the basics, quick responses, a modicum of flexibility, shows up on time, that kind of thing. We also wanted someone who would be fun to work with, listen to our requests, and when needed share, based on his extensive experience, what we should be doing differently. We wanted a photographer that could direct people in group shots, and direct us! we're not models (even if my wife looks like one) but Branson was fantastic at getting the best and most natural poses out of us. Branson is the Unicorn of a photographer that manages all of this with poise and grace. When asked for he had perspective and advice on many aspects of prep for the wedding. Branson isn't just a photographer, by the time we were done with engagements, first look, flat lays, the wedding day itself Branson was family.”

“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.”

Awarded Best of Zola
“From the very first phone call, Enea set the tone for everything that followed. We’re not “picture people” at all, so the idea of an engagement shoot at San Francisco City Hall had us both quietly panicking. Enea’s warmth, humor, and genuine conversation melted every ounce of awkwardness away. We laughed more than we posed, and somehow walked out with **stunning, frame-worthy shots** that still make us grin. My husband loved them so much he had them printed and sewn onto the lining of the vest he wore on our wedding day – talk about a keepsake! Come the wedding day, Te Dua’s team was a dream. We got all the classic staged portraits we wanted, but what stole our hearts were the candid, in-the-moment captures: friends tearing up the dance floor, champagne toasts mid-laugh, family members just having a good time every second of joy preserved forever. And then there’s Luke, the videographer – wow. The highlight film he delivered is straight out of a Hollywood romance. The editing, the music, the pacing… it’s an emotional roller-coaster that replays the entire day in under ten minutes. I’ve watched it on repeat and cry every single time. Turnaround wasn’t instant, but every second of the wait was worth it. The quality, care, and artistry shine through in every photo and frame of video. Te Dua Weddings Photography isn’t just a vendor – they’re memory-makers. If you want to relive your day with tears of happiness for years to come, book them. 10/10, no hesitation, highly recommend!”

My husband and I did not consider ourselves to be particularly comfortable in front of the camera, but after working with Allison for both our engagement and wedding photos -- we were simply blown away! Allison and her husband Nikita are everything you want in your wedding day team -- they do a great job posing you (while also keeping plenty of room for candids and natural moments), keeping the day moving (especially with wrangling a very very long family shot list with multiple small children) and also reading the energy of the room and giving breaks and hype ups as needed.

Paul our videographer was super awesome, got every angle of our wedding and including drone footage.

We're not a big studio with a team of strangers behind the cameras. We're a husband-and-wife duo who built this business around one thing: making people feel something. We take on a limited number of weddings each year because every couple deserves our full attention, creativity, and energy. No copy-and-paste galleries. No cookie-cutter experience. Just honest photography, real connection, and images that hit just as hard decades from now as they do today.

“My husband and I still can’t stop looking through our wedding photos from Kovy Photo. There’s something different about how they shoot — it doesn’t feel staged or forced, it feels like they just quietly captured our actual day. The photo of my mom crying during the vows, the way my husband looked at me before I even reached him, our friends laughing during the toasts — all of it feels so real when we look back. You can tell they weren’t just taking pictures, they were paying attention to us the whole time. If you’re getting married in Columbus and want photos that actually feel like your wedding and not a photoshoot, Kovy Photo is who you need.”

Maks is clearly passionate about his work, and his creativity shows in every shot. He made me feel elegant, sexy, and beautiful all at once, which is no small feat on such an emotional day. I would hire him 100 times over again, and I cannot recommend Nova Photos highly enough.”

  • 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.

“Michael, Jen, Courtney and the whole team was an absolute joy to work with from the start! I’ve had the pleasure to have our engagement shoot by Michael and Jen, my wife had her boudoir shoot by Jen, and our incredible wedding shoot by Michael and Brian; each experience was smooth, simple to follow and so much fun! Courtney was incredibly helpful throughout the entire process emails, texts and walking us through our picture reveals! My wife and I have never had our pictures professionally taken and didn’t know what to expect, to say we were blown away is an understatement! We felt so comfortable throughout the whole process, looked beautiful in each shot, but what I loved the most was how perfectly Michael captured our playfulness in the most beautiful way. Everyone seeing our pictures could experience our love story just jump off the page. Truly magical”

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.
