Working with Sound Originals was a dream! They were incredibly communicative leading up to the wedding, eager to send reminders and answer questions as needed. They listened to our concerns and made sure to prioritize the things we valued- like taking photos outside, getting LOTS of group pictures, and enjoying candid snapshots. The day was unexpectedly rainy, but our two photographers were ready, enthusiastic, and full of creative ideas. They were so fun to work with and incredibly flexible when things got slightly off schedule. We got our photos within a month, and we loved how they turned out. Both the candid and staged photographs were amazing. Our experience was incredible, and we would highly recommend them!

I cannot recommend MyStache Photography enough! From start to finish, Lauren was everything you’d hope for in a wedding photographer—friendly, communicative, professional, and incredibly helpful. She took the time to truly listen to what I wanted while also offering thoughtful suggestions that made the whole experience even better. On our wedding day, things were busy, and we were feeling both hangry and tired. I wanted to stop taking photos entirely, but Lauren kindly suggested I take a quick snack break, which was exactly what I needed. After that, we were back on track and managed to capture all the shots I had hoped for! I loved how she guided us through every photoshoot moment, making it flow well and stress-free. My husband and I aren’t really “photo people,” and normally if we could take fewer pictures, we absolutely would—but Lauren was our biggest cheerleader, keeping us comfortable and making the process enjoyable. She worked quickly and efficiently, all while ensuring the photos were of the highest quality. The end result? Absolutely stunning photos! Lauren captured every special moment beautifully, and I’m so grateful to have these memories preserved forever.

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.

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.

I can't say enough about Justin! We had an amazing experience working with him for our elopement. He played a VERY important role in our big day, not only as our photographer, but as our witness, sole ceremony attendee, hype man, and what felt like a friend by the end of the day. He went above and beyond our expectations, and our photo session with him was a highlight of our wedding experience. Justin is amazing at his craft, as evidenced by his work. He also has an intimate knowledge of the DC monuments, museums, and various venues that offer great photo ops, so he was very helpful in selecting the Library of Congress as the primary setting for our session post-ceremony. Once we were there, he knew all of the best rooms, corners, and angles to get the best shots. He also identified a few impromptu stops on our path to get shots with the Capitol and the Washington Monument in the background. I couldn't be happier that we were able to get such amazing photos in front of the most iconic spots in DC. Beyond the beautiful photos, Justin has an infectious energy and is so much fun to be around. He will put you at ease while coaching you through poses, and he makes the whole thing so much fun. We're so happy to have had Justin as part of our day, and to have such beautiful memories to look back on!

Every time we look through our gallery we’re instantly transported back to the feelings we felt throughout day - the joy, the nerves, the excitement, the love. I feel so lucky to be able to say that, and it’s entirely because of Emma’s talent.

On the day of our wedding, when the weather unexpectedly changed and threw off our timeline, Allison remained calm and professional, quickly adapting to the new circumstances and finding creative ways to capture beautiful photos around our venue. She was also a rockstar during the family photo portion of the day, efficiently directing everyone to ensure we got all the necessary shots. Allison's hardworking, organized approach and the high-quality, professional results she delivered made her an incredible value. We are thrilled with the photos from our special day and would highly recommend Allison Lauryn Photography to any couple looking for an amazing wedding photographer.

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.
