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 :)

We absolutely loved working with George Street! We purchased a photo and video package and replaced the printed scrapbook with an engagement photo session. Morgan was our lead photographer for the wedding and took our engagement photos - I cannot emphasize enough how great he was. Not only did he capture gorgeous photos, but he is also one of the nicest people ever. He literally gave me the shirt off his back during our engagement photos so I could sit on it and not get my white dress dirty. For the wedding, we also had Julio as our second photographer. He shot the groomsmen getting ready and they had so much fun with him - the personality he captured in their photos was amazing. Micah was our videographer and he was awesome - he got so much great content without being intrusive and was super nice. Definitely recommend!

From the moment we first reached out to Evoke Photography & Video, their communication was great. The photographer, Sarah, got everything done that needed to be done to capture our special day. When we received the final photos, we were so amazed at the quality and beauty of her work. The pictures were incredible, especially the family portraits and the stunning sunset shots. We were so excited to show everyone, and they all loved the photos just as much as we did. The sunset in the background made for such beautiful, warm lighting.

He was extremely responsive to all of my emails, and even was workable with our budget and what we wanted to accomplish with photography. I love his ability to take un-staged, in the moment photos as well as great family photos. He went above and beyond for us, and we are grateful for so many amazing photos to choose from.

Duet helped make our day go off without a hitch! We used them for both photo and video for our wedding and are so happy with our choice. Duet was one of the first vendors we booked about a year and a half out, and they were wonderful with communication the whole time. Our wedding was a long day with a lot of moving parts and we had an extensive photo wish list. They were very prompt & professional, they kept things moving along smoothly, but never made us feel stressed about it. They were extremely kind and patient with us and our families. Duet made sure to capture all the photos we had on our list and then some - and the photos/video all turned out beautiful! We got the full ceremony film and reception films along with a highlight reel, and it’s so special to watch back, especially because it’s impossible to see everything that goes on during the day. We got everything back really quickly, we had our full album and videos back in 9 weeks. We also used Duet for our engagement shoot about a year earlier and we still rave about those photos.Shout out to Mike, Hanel, and our wonderful videographer!

Working with Lauren was truly such a special experience for our family. She has a way of making you feel completely at ease, even if you’re not used to being in front of a camera. The patience and kindness she showed, especially toward our 16 month old, who is easily distracted and constantly on the move, meant so much. She didn’t rush him or force anything. She just naturally connected with him until the sweetest moments started happening on their own. When we received our gallery, I was honestly blown away. She captured tiny expressions and little moments I didn’t even realize were happening. These are photos we’ll cherish for a lifetime, not just portraits but memories frozen in the most beautiful way. If you’re looking for someone who is talented, thoughtful, and genuinely invested in giving you meaningful photos, I couldn’t recommend her more. She’s everything you’d hope for in a photographer.

I found Covenant Pictures through a friend’s recommendation, and I will forever be grateful. Planning a wedding felt overwhelming at first, but their constant support made it easier than I ever imagined. They stayed in touch regularly—sending me timelines, posing tips, shot lists, and little words of encouragement that meant the world to me. On the day itself, I was an emotional mess (in the best way), and they were the calming, positive force I didn’t know I needed. They gently guided me through portraits, made my bridesmaids laugh, and even helped bustle my dress when my mom got flustered. One of my favorite parts was how they always asked, “Do you want a photo with this person before they leave?” It felt like they were 10 steps ahead of me. My friends still talk about how professional and fun they were to be around. And to get the final edited gallery before we even got back from our honeymoon? That blew my mind. Every photo took me right back to the moment. If you're getting married—do yourself a favor and book Covenant Pictures.

First and foremost, congratulations! This is an exciting time! Before I begin with all the details, I would like to do away with the formalities and keep it light. Technically speaking, I’m a photographer, but honestly, since establishing my business in 2014, I would consider myself a teammate through this process. I’ve really enjoyed getting to know couples, their families, their stories, and at the end of the day, becoming a good friend. If this vibes with you, we are off to a good start :) Answering questions, transparency in communication, and prompt responses are important to me and I hope that everything I share resonates.

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.
