When I was looking for a photographer and videographer, I was completely lost. The photographers I spoke to before I found George Street were way out of my budget and the style wasn’t exactly what I was looking for. When I found George Street, not only did I get incredible photographers, an amazing videographer but also constant communication, all my questions answered, a BEAUTIFUL album I’ll always cherish and so so so much guidance that God knows I needed. I 1000% recommend George Street Photo and Video to every upcoming bride. You will not regret it.

Our photographer name was Hunter, and he was absolutely amazing. I booked through original weddings because my photographer I originally had had never gotten back to me, and was three weeks to spare. This company made me feel like everything was going to be perfect, and that my wedding was going to be captured in the most incredible way! Hunter had made us feel so comfortable and he made our photos turn out to be more than I could ever dream of! I would recommend them 1 million times over again if I could, and if I could have booked them originally in the first place I would have! Our photo turnaround time was about two weeks and the pictures were more than I could ever imagine!!

Pedro and his team did a FANTASTIC job with our wedding photos and they were an absolute joy to work with!! This started while planning for the wedding as Pedro was very flexible in setting up meetings where we discussed logistics and specific pictures we wanted captured the day of. He also recommended the Fragrance Garden at the Morton Arboretum for wedding photos, which turned out beautifully. On the day of the wedding, Pedro and his team were very thorough and captured all of the special moments of the day! They were positive, professional, and efficient in capturing photos for our large bridal party and family. Going with Albany Capture for our wedding photos was, without a doubt, one of the best decisions we made for the wedding. We also want to give a shout-out to Josh who actually captured our engagement photos and was one of the photographers on the wedding day too! He's an incredible photographer and it was quite special to have capture the entire journey!

Duet as a whole was absolutely amazing to work with from start to finish. They were all extremely professional, kind, and helpful every step of the way. On the day of our wedding, they were so easy to work with and knew all of the best spots for pictures at our venue. They captured all of the moments we wanted and more. We got preview pictures while we were still on our honeymoon which were all absolutely perfect, and we were blown away by the full gallery. The pictures were way better than I could have ever hoped for. We also got a highlight video as well as reception and ceremony videos which were so perfectly done. There are genuinely so many amazing photos that we're having trouble picking which ones to frame for our home (our families feel the same way too!). While I don't want to post our faces in the reviews, the attention to detail is really unmatched - as you can see from all the pictures I'm including here. We both highly recommend booking with them, if you're thinking about it just do it - you will not be disappointed!!

Awarded Best of Zola
Ashley and her husband Nate shot our wedding, and while they were phenomenal on the day of, they were truly the dream team from the very beginning. I knew I wanted our spring wedding to be full of color and joy, and I wanted our photos to reflect that so I could relive the day over and over. Ashley Kristine Photo was the obvious choice for this vibe. Ashley answered every question throughout our year and a half engagement, helped us navigate weather cancellations for our engagement session, and, when our wedding day ended up being the only day in all of April that was supposed to get snow, she talked everything through with me and reassured me the photos would still be nothing short of stunning. On the day of, Ashley and Nate showed up just as excited as the rest of us. They helped protect my peace, followed my photo list while adding their own magical touches, and helped so many of my family members, who usually aren’t comfortable in front of a camera, feel completely at home. And when we got our wedding photos back, many as early as the next morning, I was in disbelief at how she brought those still moments to life through the color and joy she captured of our dreamy day. The weather absolutely did not take away from anything I wanted and I had zero worries throughout the day, which I owe so much of that to Ashley. I sincerely hope to work with Ashley and Nate again in the future, you couldn’t ask for a better duo to capture your special day.

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.

Justin is beyond amazing. He is a calming, fun, and professional presence all in one. Even outside of photography, he helps out wherever is needed. He literally fanned me while I slogged up stairs in my wedding heels and dress in 90 degree heat and humidity to get to our ceremony so that I didn't melt. He is also so on top of all of the details and the timeline. He makes everyone feel comfortable. To top it all off, he has an amazing eye for capturing beautiful moments and places. My pictures have come out more amazing than I could have ever imagined. I cannot recommend him as a photographer and human being enough.

Awarded Best of Zola
First, I think it's important to be transparent when posting reviews. I am reviewing Scarlet Oak Studio in exchange for my music license to be covered for my wedding video. That being said, everything I am writing are my genuine thoughts. They did not stipulate that it had to be a positive review. I love my pictures from my wedding day! I think that Scarlet Oak truly knows what they are doing and work so hard to make sure everything looks great, and everyone feels good. The team I worked with the day of my wedding were amazing and I would work with them over and over. I often don't like myself in pictures and I love every single one! My video is my favorite thing ever. They really captured the day, and it was so fun to relive my wedding and reception by watching it back. I cannot say enough good things about it!! It was longer than I expected, and I loved all the editing that went into it. If you are on the fence about having them do your wedding video, I would go for it. You will not regret it and at the end of the day you won't remember the money. Speaking of money, I believe that you get what you pay for, which is why they are on the more expensive end. Of all the companies we compared, they were the most expensive. We did feel like they pushed us a little towards the more expensive options. They were so gracious in offering us a friends/family discount due to us knowing a photographer from the company, but the discount was supposed to be for a free hour, and when we wanted to do the extended (10 hour) day, they instead said they would throw in drone footage. We would have preferred the free hour and felt like it was not what was initially promised and neither of us was very impressed with the drone footage. That's really the only negative thing that I can come up with though. They definitely deserve 5 stars for their photographers, videographers, and assistants, as well as the quality of their final product. The only downside is the expense, but again you get what you pay for. I would highly recommend them!

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.
