Best US Wedding Photographers and Studios

Susan Shek Photography is a Manhattan wedding photographer covering New York City and destinations abroad. Susan is a native New Yorker who leads a team that handles both photography and cinematography, so couples can book stills and film from one studio.

Services range from engagement sessions to full wedding-day coverage, custom albums, and photo booth rentals. The team has shot iconic Manhattan celebrations, modern Brooklyn receptions, and destination weddings in Europe.

Their work has appeared in Brides and People, and the studio holds a spot in The Knot Hall of Fame. The Park Avenue South office is easy to reach for planning meetings.

B. Jones Photography brings a light, airy style to Seattle weddings. Becca Jones has photographed more than 300 couples since 2012, with work published in over 150 magazines and blogs, including Washington Wedding Day Magazine.

She shoots waterfront ceremonies on Lake Union, vineyard weddings in Woodinville, and farm venues across Snohomish County. Dogs are welcome at every session.

The studio has won The Knot Best of Weddings six years running. Galleries arrive within 30 days and include full-resolution downloads plus an heirloom album. Coverage extends through King, Snohomish, and Whatcom counties, with travel across the Pacific Northwest.

Since 2007, Kevin Lush has photographed weddings across Dayton, Cincinnati, Columbus, and southwest Ohio. He added wedding films in 2022, so couples get photo and video coverage from one vendor instead of two.

His other career is concert photography. He has shot Taylor Swift, Paul McCartney, Bruce Springsteen, and KISS, and that fast-moving experience carries over to dim receptions and unpredictable timelines.

The studio is openly LGBTQ-friendly and also books engagement sessions and senior portraits. Hundreds of client reviews mention the turnaround, with some galleries delivered in under two weeks.

The I Do is a Los Angeles wedding photography and videography studio that specializes in Indian, Persian, and intercultural celebrations. Two siblings started it in 2012, and it now runs as a crew of photographers and filmmakers who work together at each wedding.

Couples book photo and film as one package, which keeps both teams in sync from the mehndi through the last dance. Highlight films and full-length edits are available.

Beyond California, the team covers weddings in New York, Arizona, and overseas. Their LGBTQ+ and multicultural portfolio is a big reason couples find them.

Three16 Photography is an Orange County wedding photographer working in a natural-light, photojournalistic style. Jerrick and his team cover Orange County, Los Angeles, the Inland Empire, and the Temecula vineyards.

Packages stay affordable and usually bundle more than photos alone:

• Wedding and engagement photography
• Videography and aerial coverage
• Photo booth rental
• Printed albums

Couples typically receive 75 to 100 images per hour of coverage. The Anaheim studio also books family, maternity, and corporate sessions, so past clients come back for later milestones.

ABM Photography is a San Diego wedding studio with more than 1,000 weddings behind it. The team has taken The Knot Best of Weddings award for a decade straight, which is rare in a market this crowded. Their studio sits in Encinitas, north of the city, and coverage runs from the coast inland.

A duo runs Cristina G Photography out of Chicago's Ravenswood neighborhood. Together they have covered more than 500 weddings across 15 years. Their style leans cinematic, built on movement and dramatic light rather than static, posed groups. The pair also travel often, shooting destination weddings in Europe for Chicago couples with family abroad.

Tiffany Hopwood has earned a place in The Knot Hall of Fame, an award reserved for studios that win Best of Weddings year after year. She covers Dallas-Fort Worth weddings and travels for destination ceremonies. Packages are built piece by piece, so couples choose their hours, second shooter, and album instead of taking a fixed bundle.

Simone Anne photographs Bay Area weddings, elopements, and San Francisco City Hall ceremonies. Based in Oakland with over ten years of experience, she shoots in a joyful, candid style that fits small ceremonies as well as full receptions. City Hall couples get someone who already knows the building's light and its tight timing.

Joey Wallace Photography covers Atlanta weddings and has deep experience with South Asian ceremonies. With more than 300 weddings, the studio sends multi-camera photo and video teams. That matters for multi-day events where the baraat, ceremony, and reception each need their own coverage. Based in Buckhead, with travel across Georgia.

Mark Trela and his wife are documentary wedding photographers in Chicago. They have worked together since 2010, staying out of the way and letting the day run on its own.

Hank Nam founded Blue 22 Photography in 2000 and still leads it, making this one of the longer-running wedding photography studios in Los Angeles. The work is fine art and story-driven, with careful attention to composition. Twenty-five years in, Hank has shot most of the city's major venues and knows how each one behaves at sunset.

Akil Bennett came to weddings from film production, and it shows in how he frames a room. Working in Houston since 2008, he keeps images clean and timeless, with emotion doing the work instead of props or heavy editing. His studio sits in the Sawyer Yards arts district near downtown.

Isabelle Selby shoots Brooklyn and Manhattan weddings with an indie, editorial eye. Her images have run in Vanity Fair and Martha Stewart Weddings, which says plenty about the styling and the edit. Couples planning loft, rooftop, or restaurant receptions in New York City are the best fit.

Michael and Anna Costa are wedding photographers based in Santa Barbara and Los Angeles, shooting luxury celebrations since 2005. Their editorial work appears regularly in national bridal publications. The pair shoot together at every event and travel worldwide, so a wine country ceremony and a wedding overseas get the same two people.

Maura Jane covers Santa Fe and Albuquerque weddings in a romantic, timeless style that suits adobe courtyards and high desert light. She works New Mexico venues year-round and travels for destination bookings. Couples marrying outside the state often fly her out rather than hire locally.

Todd Johnson works as a wedding photojournalist in Los Angeles and is a known specialist in Persian ceremonies, including the sofreh aghd.
