Deborah McCabeYou’d think finding wedding photographers in Philadelphia would be simple—Google, click, done. But the deeper you go, the messier it gets. Haha! Trust me, I’ve been there.
At first it feels exciting, scrolling through dreamy galleries, but soon it’s overwhelming… light and airy? moody and dramatic? Someone who somehow does both?
And the pressure is real, because this isn’t just about pretty photos. It’s about choosing the person who’ll capture every laugh, tear, and dance move you’ll want to remember for a lifetime.
That’s why we pulled together a list of Philly’s most-loved wedding photographers to make your search a whole lot easier.
How much do wedding photographers charge in Philadelphia?
Wedding photographers in Philadelphia charge between $2,000 and $6,000 for standard packages. However, charges vary depending on the photographer’s experience, number of hours covered, and extras like engagement sessions.
1. Peach Plum Pear Photography
Address: 2424 E York St #206, PA 19125
Contact Details: +1 215-834-0549
Operating Hours:
- Monday-Friday: 10:00 AM – 6:00 PM
- Saturday-Sunday: Closed
We’ve seen a lot of wedding photographers, but Peach Plum Pear Photography stands out right away. Their photos go beyond posed smiles—they capture little moments that feel like scenes from an indie film.
Their studio, started by Inna Spivakova in 2012 and based in Fishtown, has been woman-owned since day one.
We really like how flexible their services are. Whether it’s a grand Philly wedding or a small elopement, they’ve got packages starting at $1,800 and going up to $5,500 for full coverage.
We also value their options for engagement sessions, second shooters, and extra hours.
They also deliver more than just digital files. Couples get high-resolution galleries and the chance to hold physical albums, prints, or even photo boxes.
The only downside is that they can be a bit pricey.
Kind, communicative, and unforgettable wedding memories
“Inna, Jeanne, and their team are incredible! Inna did our engagement photos and our wedding ceremony + reception with Jeanne. Each step of the way she was incredibly kind, helpful, and communicative – and the final results were amazing! We love all of their photos; they captured so many different moments of the day and so many different people. We’ll love looking at these photos for many years! Can’t recommend Peach Plum Pear Photo highly enough!”

Documentary-style magic with photos full of life
“We could not have imagined better photographers than Inna and Jeanne at PeachPlumPear. From the first moments of our engagement shoot, Inna made us feel relaxed and natural. She is incredibly kind, professional, and unobtrusive. We were very hopeful to find a more “documentary-style” photographer and she managed to be everywhere capturing all our most tender, sensitive moments while remaining low-key. She did all that without sacrificing creativity, too. Our wedding photos truly capture the full essence and dimensions of the day. Her photo style is dynamic and evolved throughout the day- our morning pictures are bright and cheerful, our ceremony pictures bold and reverent, and reception ecstatic with vibrant uses of the lighting. It’s hard for both my husband and I to find photos of us that we love, but there are countless among the ones Inna took. She also perfectly captured our joyful guests at their most expressive moments. All our photos were ready shortly after the wedding, perfectly edited, and available for download for us and our friends and family. We also used her for our Photo Booth and it was a blast – cute background, great props, and you get an electronic copy of all photos at the end which had us laughing for hours. Inna has our strongest recommendation!”

2. Ryan Eda Photography
Address: 2424 E York St #237, PA 19125
Contact Details: +1 267-603-1016
Operating Hours:
- Monday-Thursday: 10:00 AM – 6:00 PM
- Friday-Sunday: Closed
Ryan Eda Photography shows us that wedding photos can be more than keepsakes—they can be art.
He specializes in frames that evoke a cinematic feel, with striking lighting and composition that transform fleeting moments into something unforgettable.
What really grabs us is the versatility. Ryan, the head photographer, shifts easily between classic portraits to candid, documentary-style captures.
We love that he isn’t afraid to lean into bold editorial shots, and yet every image still reflects his signature polish.
The only thing to keep in mind is that his specialty leans dramatic. So, it may not be the best fit for couples who prefer a softer, more muted look.
Regardless, we like that instead of leaving couples to guess, he offers gentle direction and delivers images that don’t stop at digital galleries. You can proudly display his signature art book and wall pieces for years to come.
Patient, creative, and captures every moment beautifully
“Ryan and his team captured our special day so perfectly. My family hired Ryan back in 2022 for my sister’s wedding and because we were blown away with everything, we also hired him. To no surprise, we were beyond thrilled with the captures. Ryan and his team were patient, kind, creative and so much fun. Both my husband and I tend to lose our patience and they kept us happy and focused the entire time. We highly recommend hiring Ryan Eda for all your photo/video needs. You will not have one ounce of disappointment. Thanks again Ryan and team – can’t wait to continue our relationship over the years. Some beautiful captures attached.”

Professional, thoughtful, and goes beyond the wedding day
“It was a GREAT time working with Ryan from our very first encounter. I found him on Instagram and immediately scheduled a consultation. During the consultation he inquired about my wedding day plans and also wanted to get to know about the our love story. He was prompt and very professional. Fast forward to the “BIG day”…him and his team were on time and arrived ready to capture the special moments. Thankfully, everything went as we planned. Ryan gave great direction to myself, my husband and the wedding party to make sure he got the best shots. The Photo Reveal was put together so nicely and was an amazing additional experience to getting married. Even for our first year anniversary, Ryan was the only vendor from our wedding to celebrate us and just show that we weren’t just a client for that one day. I would recommend Ryan to anyone getting married!!! BOOK HIM!!!”

3. Emily Wren Photography
Address: 2930 Jasper St #306, PA 19134
Contact Details: [email protected]
Operating Hours:
- Monday-Sunday: 9:00 AM – 9:00 PM
Emily Wren Photography made us believe that wedding photos can feel like a dream. With more than a decade of experience and a stellar reputation in Philly, her images are full of soft light and delicate colors, which we are really a fan of.
But what we love most is how effortless it all looks. Emily blends fine-art beauty with photojournalistic honesty, so couples never feel stiff or overposed.
One friend who tried the service mentioned that the results are photos that are both graceful and real. It was like capturing the whimsical side of a wedding.
The only caveat is that Emily’s airy, romantic style may not appeal to couples who prefer something bolder or more dramatic.
Even so, she still goes beyond simple galleries. From heirloom-quality albums to keepsake USBs and even cinematic add-ons, her work gives couples lasting treasures they can hold onto for decades.
Detailed, organized, and photo-worthy of a magazine
“We feel so incredibly lucky to have worked with Emily and her team on our wedding day. From our first call, to our last interactions, Emily was a pleasure to work with and is so detailed and organized. We would not have been able to put together our timeline for the day without her assistance. Her work speaks for itself and it’s evident she takes pride in her work. Every shot perfectly captured the emotions we felt on our wedding day. We especially enjoyed how she captured creative shots, and candids of our families. Every picture looks like they could be published in a magazine. We will cherish these memories forever. We cannot recommend Emily and her team enough!”

Masters of their craft who capture every emotion beautifully
“Emily and her husband, Gregg, (Wren Films) completely transformed our Wedding day!! They were both absolutely magnificent to work with and the photos are beyond our wildest dreams! They are truly masters of their craft. I have had countless people reach out to me asking who our photographer was!! Emily’s ability to read the scene and scenery, and everything going on around it is astonishing. We are so lucky to have had her for our wedding day. The moment Emily and Gregg showed up, my husband and I, along with both bridal parties felt so comfortable! They were there for every big and every little special moment, capturing the authenticity of each moment. Looking at our photos now, you can truly see all the emotion in every photo. From the people in the middle, to those in the background, every detail was captured and knowing the day always flew by, having these memories captured so stunningly and perfectly is something we will cherish for the rest of our lives. Emily, Gregg, and the team are not only true artists and professionals, but they are genuinely the most high quality humans and the exact type of people you want to surround you on the most important day of your life. We were so blessed and SO lucky to work with Emily, Gregg, and their entire spectacular team!!!”

You know how some photographers make everything super chill and fun? That’s the vibe with Wedding Photographers of Philadelphia. They are all about catching laughs and those random little moments.
Their wide range of options makes them a one-stop shop for all your needs. They cover engagement, full wedding photos, and videos, so you don’t have to juggle multiple vendors.
Pricing-wise, we love the flexibility they give. The only thing worth noting is that, depending on where your venue is, there may be additional fees for travel, lodging, or transport. If your wedding is outside typical service areas, the cost might escalate.
Nonetheless, we also love how reliable they are. Their “rain, snow, or shine” promise means you don’t have to worry about last-minute surprises. One client even mentioned that the team delivered the finished photos within a few days.
Beautiful wedding photos we’ll treasure forever
“Wedding Photographers of Philadelphia captured the best pictures of my wedding! We loved having great photos of my special day. Thank you! Would definitely recommend.”

5. Atlas Wedding Photography
Address: 2320 E Norris St, PA 19125
Contact Details: +1 917-204-7021
Operating Hours:
- Monday-Friday: 9:00 AM – 5:00 PM
- Saturday-Sunday: 10:00 AM – 5:00 PM
If you’re looking for a wedding photographer who specializes in timeless and elegant styles, Atlas Wedding Photography is a great choice.
Their photos feel vibrant and polished, with clean lines and true-to-life colors that never lose their charm.
Their style focuses on the classics—formal family portraits, sweeping venue shots, and candid moments tied together in a polished way. The only catch is that their work doesn’t chase current trends, so if you’re after moody tones, this may not be the fit.
Yet, one thing we can’t ignore is their consistency. They have been recognized among Philly’s best wedding photographers year after year since 2010, which reflects on their fast turnaround, professional service, and detailed pricing.
We also appreciate their flexibility. They manage both large celebrations and intimate gatherings, and they’re even open to traveling if your wedding takes them beyond the city, but be prepared for additional costs.
Beautiful photos with tender moments and flawless service
“We had such an amazing experience with Tiffany and her team for our wedding photography. We love our wedding photos, they turned out so beautiful and we loved seeing so many tender moments from our wedding. Tiffany provided incredible direction for our generally camera-shy families and we were super impressed by the attention to detail and professionalism of the whole team. The photos were already ready for us faster than expected and her beautiful website made it easy for us to view, share, and order. We would strongly recommend Atlas Photography for capturing your special, most precious moments.”

Experienced, creative, and calm even on a windy wedding day
“Tiffany was our photographer for our engagement and wedding pictures. She and her assistant Holly were great to work with on our wedding day. Tiffany had shot several weddings at our venue before so she had plenty of ideas for where to get the best pictures. We had a really windy day which made me worried about how the pictures would look but I actually think we benefited from the wind! I highly suggest hiring Tiffany to be your photographer! She knows what she is doing!”
