There aren’t enough stars to properly rate Liam and his team. We had an amazing experience. The photographer and videographer were professionally, prompt, and courteous. The quality of our photos and videos were exceptional. This was the easiest, most stress free part about our entire wedding. I honestly can’t recommend them enough!

My wedding occured during the craziness of COVID. My husband and I originally planned to have large 3-day Indian Wedding. Liam and his team were very helpful during the entire process. Unfortunately due to the safety of our family and close loved ones, we went from a 300-people guest list to a 50-people guest list. We changed all our plans, including our venue. Through this stressful transition, Liam and his team were both understanding and flexible to change what we had originally agreed on during our contract signing. When we met MJ our photographer, she was amazing! She not only asked me what I would like days before the event, but she also made sure to follow through with all my requests. She made me feel beautiful and confident as she followed me throughout the entire day/night. She gave me ideas of good picture poses and she also went out of her way to capture beautiful moments. I would highly recommend MJ as your wedding photographer. She was the absolute best!

MJ was our photographer for our wedding and baby’s baptism. We also had a family photo shoot with her at Fairchild Botanical Garden. We love how she captures all the special moments we want to remember. She’s super upbeat and full of energy. My husband and I are beyond happy with the memories captured in those photos. Thank you!

My Husband and I have been working on his immigration for over 2 years. And then out of nowhere we go the visa for him to come in to the country! We less than 90 days to arrange thing during this pandemic. Working with Wedding Photo and Video by Liam has made this monumental in our lives. They were willing to work on with our limited information on the timeline of the immigration process. Also were working very well with in the CDC pandemic guidelines. We had a simple sunrise wedding due to time and budget constraints but our photographer and videographer worked with us to make our day feel like it was one fit for two kings! Also I have heard some much amazing feedback on the photos and the video that I have shared! Marvelous work! Thank you again for making our day special!

Picking a photographer and videographer was probably one of the hardest thing to do for my wedding and all I can say is that I am beyond happy I went with Liam! His entire team were very responsive and friendly. They answered all my questions (I had a lot of them) and reassured me even in every little question I had.My videographer was Eric, and he was spectacular. When I saw my mini wedding Clip I almost cried of how beautiful it came out, the attention to detail is what I loved the most as a lot of the hidden details he was able to capture without me even telling him. He also filmed our longer cinematic video however we are saving to see that one with our family on Christmas Day.My photographer was Isabel and she was also extremely friendly. I was nervous for pictures as lighting was an issue with an outside wedding. However, my pictures came out amazingly beautiful. It’s been so difficult to choose which pictures to share with family as I would like to share them all! She also took many pictures of my guest and of the venue which i am so grateful.Finally, we also added a live stream to the package since due to Covid we couldn’t have many of our senior/long distance relatives and that was also a hit! After the wedding a lot of our family members that were on the live stream complimented on how well it was recorded and they even gave us a chance to give everyone a shout out!Thank you to the entire team you guys have given me beautiful work that I will forever cherish and be able to look back at ❤️

Professionalism & quality doesn’t describe it. Liam & his team got back to me right away when I initially contacted them for my surprise proposal. They made everything go by smooth & easy. The photoshoot & video shoot they shot & recorded was impeccable.I’m really so happy I found & chose these team of professionals. They love what they do & it truly shows in their work they produce for your special day. Definitely recommend this team for anyone looking into getting them as your photoshoot crew!

Liam and his team were absolutely outstanding on our wedding day. With less than 2 days' notice, in COVID 19 conditions and volatile Miami weather, he helped us with putting together an amazing shoot from the very first phone-call. I cannot recommend Liam highly enough, he was exceptionally professional, artistic, patient and helpful (suggesting best places for the ceremony/ parking/ maps etc). Photography is one area you do not want to skimp on in a wedding...he is 1000% worth it!!!

After researching wedding photographers in Miami, we found a wonderful photo team that was perfect for us. From the first time we spoke on the phone, we found them to be very professional and made us feel at ease. We hired Liam's wedding photography team for our wedding and we can't recommend them highly enough. We are so glad to choose them and we both are happy with our stunning pics. The team has a very relaxed style and is not at all overpowering resulting in us getting some great natural photos many we didn't realise were being taken. Liam himself and his team could not have been more accommodating to us even with last minute changes to our plans. We can't recommend the team highly enough and won't hesitate to use them again.

Wedding Photo & Video by Liam allowed for my finance and I to have 1 less thing to stress about amongst the extensive items needed to finish out our planning checklist. They whole team is extremely punctual, professional, and very easy to work with. We were lucky to have Nicole as our photographer for our engagement photos and really just can not be more grateful for her level or service, kindness, and patience with us and our dog Mojo! I swear our photos were back within about a week and they even put a cute video on YouTube up for us to be able to share with our family and friends before we even got the photos back. We can not wait to have them document our wedding. Great company, lovely people, fantastic service, quality and reliability.

We are so happy we hired Liam to take our engagement photos. Liam and his team were always responsive and friendly, and best of all, our pictures are INCREDIBLE. We also received the photos faster than expected which was a nice surprise. Liam is also going to be our wedding photographer and I'm sure those photos will be equally amazing.

Our wedding was back in October and I’m finally getting around to writing reviews for our vendors. We were very fortunate to hire Liam’s company and his photographers for our wedding day. From the very start communication was outstanding, always willing to help with other parts of the wedding and genuinely interested in how the planning was going. On the wedding day our photographer was already at our venue early and explained the poses and how the day would go. This made us so comfortable and relaxed. She captured moments we don’t even remember with all the excitement but most of all the she captured our true happiness along with all our family and friends. Thank you so much for the stunning and beautiful wedding photos. I honestly cannot thank Liam and his team enough for everything they have done for us.

One of my friends who was married last year recommended Liam's team. Though I had seen the results produced by them for my best friend. So we hired them as our wedding photographers and I can't praise them enough! The whole team was amazing from start to finish. They were so friendly and put all of us at ease! Their work is outstanding and so natural. We couldn't be happier with the results! They captured almost all the happiest moments. Truly it was beautiful!! I would highly recommend Liam if you need photography or videography in Florida! Thanks again for all of your hard work!

Angel & Veronica Wedding:We just had our wedding a few weeks ago and these guys are the absolute best. We were looking for a sound, trustworthy, professional team to take care of the upmost important task of capturing every moment of our special night. Choosing Wedding Photography by Liam was by far the key decision of all. With us getting married for the first time (and hopefully last!) my wife and I had no idea what we were getting into as far as logistics and conducting a wedding. Liam guided us every step of the way from the first time we sat down with him. He immediately put us both at ease with his clear understanding and expertise in how weddings are conducted. On the day of the wedding, Liam stayed true to his word and led his team keeping everyone on track to make sure things ran smoothly. They showed up early and made sure they missed nothing. We are so happy we chose these guys to oversee such an important task which is to capture the best moments of a day that will otherwise only live in our memories. I would recommend these guys to anyone looking for true professionals who take pride in their craft. Amazing job!Once again thank you Liam and team.

Even though it’s been a few months since our wedding, we still remember how really helpful throughout the whole process Liam and his staff were. They explained everything really clearly from the beginning (it made hiring them easy). We had regular contact throughout and he really listened to our ideas about what we wanted.The photos from the wedding itself really captured the day and all the key points. The photos are so vibrant and beautiful. They obviously love what he does and there were a number of photos they got really excited about taking. The pre-wedding shoot was great, it was so relaxed and easy to do. There were so many natural shots and nothing looked staged. Both his photographers & videographers have did a great job and we have no words to say enough — ""amazing wedding photographer in all of Florida” !!!

Liam’s photographers are absolutely amazing. I booked him for my engagement and wedding photography. He and his team went above and beyond my expectation. My photos came out perfect. They took perfect shots as per the weather during my wedding day. I greatly appreciate him! I would like to say how helpful, professional and detailed Liam was before, during and after our wedding. Apart from the photo shoots, the videography was also so awesome. Thanks for the gorgeous, amusing and heartfelt photographs you and your team took of every moment. The quality of the photographs are amazing, we absolutely love them and the album is stunning. Highly recommended wedding photographer in Miami area.

LONG review, if you don't have time to get through it, just BOOK them NOW!Review for: Wedding Photography by LiamTeam: Photography: Liam Crotty and MJ; Video [conventional and drone]: AntonioCeremony location: St. Bernard de Clairvaux, a.k.a. The Ancient Spanish MonasteryReception location: Fogo de Chao, South Beach MiamiServices rendered:-Photography: ceremony venue, ceremony, guests, cocktail hour, group photos, bride + groom portraits, reception venue, arrival and cake cutting-Videography: [drone footage] of the venue, special bride + groom shots (worth it), [conventional video] ceremony coverage (2 angles), candid video footage used in highlight video, video snippets of the cocktail hour. Antonio is excellent, both at capturing and editing video.Deliverables:-USB with raw video footage (we paid a little extra for this, we feel it is important to add to our family archive).-On the same USB as above, all edited photos.-On the same USB as above, the highlight video (shot and edited by Antonio).Cost: very reasonable!Review, written by the bride:We were married in early August, and it has taken some time for us to find the adequate words to say "Thank you" via our review of their services to the Liam Crotty team for their exceptional coverage of our very special day.Our first contact was made several months before the wedding, and Liam was there on the phone with me making arrangements, confirming dates, locations and services personally. Of course, the Office Manager was instrumental as well, and made sure that we had everything we needed in place (with regards to photo and video) on our wedding day.There were detailed planning calls, to make sure that we knew what group photos we wanted, where we might want them at the venue, all the details. Liam's team made sure no question was left unanswered.Initially, we had booked one of the staff photographers and videographers, and at the last moment, we were told that Liam himself was available to capture our wedding day.We didn't think about it too much, we said "Yes!", paid the fee required to have Liam join us on our day, and waited for our day to arrive.Wedding Day:Marco arrived early to the Church, and MJ made quick and great work of getting some excellent shots of him before the ceremony. Two of our most cherished photographs of the day were of him and his Mother, and him and my Grandmother. MJ captured the venue details as well, beautifully.I didn't notice photographs being taken of me, or the videographer capturing the walk - that is how discreet the Team is. Only specific moments were paused, ever so momentarily, to capture really excellent shots (key shot, when exiting the Church, is stopping halfway down the aisle, with guests and everyone beaming, and having another kiss - this is a great shot, which we hadn't thought of, but now wouldn't want to live without!).During the cocktail hour, the group photos were handled by Liam - and again, the experience that he and his Team has, it really shone bright here. Liam kept me calm, all while capturing the (literally) dozens of group photographs which we required (it was an incredible list of around 50 group photos, with different permutations of the guests). Not only did he capture wonderful photos, he kept me calm!After the group photos, we went for a stroll, groom + me and Liam + Antonio, to capture portraits of us. They are a very creative team and if you engage their services, let them loose! We ended up with incredible shots of us + the venue - one of our favorite is the one under the gargantuan tree outside with the dark moss, and of course the drone footage of us walking the grounds.We had photography done at the reception (Fogo de Chao) as well, of the venue + cake cutting + candids.I am running out of space! Character limits are awful. Delivery of photos+videos (high definition!) was very fast and secure, as well. Excellent service all around, start to finish. Book their services now!THANK YOU Liam Crotty Photography for capturing our day.

Liam’s photographers did an outstanding job capturing our wedding and we have wonderful memories! What I love most is the way they really captured the day and the way my hubby and I were feeling and this is priceless! Our destination wedding became so wonderful only because of the wonderful photography team. Especially I loved the photos of emotional moments, fantastic portraits and those funny party pictures. If you seek a clean, modern style for your destination wedding, these photographers are perfect!. Thank you Liam for the wonderful photos - it's been a pleasure working with you and we are sure that you'll make many more couples very happy with your wonderful photography.

We are SO happy we hired Liam and his team for our wedding photography and video shooting. I was so nervous choosing our wedding vendors—it’s such a hard decision— and a lot of work. But after talking with many different photographers and videographers, I’m glad I decided on this company. Liam and his team made us feel relaxed and explained how they will manage everything. I could tell they were wedding specialists. Truly speaking, they did a great job. And less than 3 weeks later they sent me our edited pics from the entire day - preparation, emotions, atmosphere - we can feel and remember everything by watching through his photos! We are grateful to Liam and his staff for our beautiful and warm memories of our very Special day!

It’s really hard to find just the right wedding photographer. After all, your wedding photos are a reminder for the rest of your life about your big day. Thank you for doing this beautifully and the right way that produced magical photographs. I really have no words to express our happiness!!! It's absolutely a fantastic service, Our photographer captured our big day back in December and our photographs are simply stunning. His professionalism and manner are second to none, he made us all feel so relaxed and made the whole thing fun. We can’t thank him enough for everything he’s done for us on our special day, would highly recommend him and his team to anyone getting married.

Before hiring Liam and his team, I did an extensive search for a wedding photographer. I went through several google reviews and other websites where I found these guys. Finally I decided to them. Liam was friendly, professional and knowledgable with me and all my relatives making the formal photos fun, he even took a few secret shots when I was preparing for the wedding. Pics were available to view in two weeks after wedding. His photographers & videographers really did a great job as described on the websites. We are so happy with the photos and video, would definitely recommend Liam and his wonderful staff!

After a lot of research and recommendation we decided to hire Liam’s company for my engagement and wedding photography. On the wedding day, the team came early and they guided us when and where they will take special photographs. Liam explained the different poses. So during the wedding we were fully relaxed. Without disturbing anybody they captured almost all moments with their cameras. They were all super friendly, professional and brilliant with making the shoot fun, he even took a few secret shots of my pre-wedding. Pics were available to view just after 12 days from my wedding date!!! Unheard of!! We're so happy with the photos and video . I would definitely recommend Liam and his team for wedding photography and videography.

I attended a long time friend's (I was a bride’s maid) wedding reception last year and had a photo taken with my friend who was the bride. I was so delighted! What a great photo!

From the first moment we immediately “clicked" with Liam! Before hiring his company we had several conversations with him and it made us very relaxed. We also did a google search, read several reviews posted by other people on several websites. We didn't stop there, in order to clear our doubt, we even contacted one of his past clients to hear their feedback. Let’s just say, we did our research. 🙂 So we hired Liam and his team for my wedding video and photo. And we’re very happy with the results. Highly recommended if you need a photographer in Southern Florida.

We had a wonderful experience with Liam and his team members! One of my relatives recommended Liam as they had hired him a few years ago for their wedding. So we hired them without checking any other quotes From the very beginning we had no doubt about their expertise and we became relaxed and happy as they handled the day perfectly. They captured all the emotions from the preparations until the end of the evening. I was so excited to see my wedding photos!. They were truly natural and stunning. Not only the photos but they also created a beautiful highlight video using our wedding songs. I have no words to express my happiness. I am quite confident if you book them for your wedding photography you’ll be happy too.

How Much Does A Wedding Photographer Cost?

Do You Need A Second Wedding Photographer?
Hiring a photographer to cover your big day is one of the most crucial parts of your wedding planning process. Without someone to take the perfect pictures, you’ll have nothing to look back on years later. But making the perfect photography arrangements isn’t as easy as one might think. It’s […]
How much does a wedding photographer typically cost?
The price of hiring a wedding photographer and very greatly from affordable to cost-prohibitive. but a good average would be in the $1,500 to $2,500 price range. The cost of a wedding photographer is also affected by the location i.e. what city the wedding is in. And also it is affected whether you have one wedding photographer or two.
Do Wedding Photographers go to the rehearsal?
In general, most wedding photographers do not attend the rehearsal the day before the wedding. From our experience we are asked to attend maybe one rehearsal per year and we are photographing more than one hundred weddings each year. Having your wedding photographer attend the rehearsal does not really help the photographer and in some ways it could just get in the way of your bridal party learning what they need to do on your wedding day.
What do most wedding photography packages include?
Most wedding photography packages include the following:
- A planning meeting in advance to discuss your wedding with your wedding photographer.
- A certain number of hours with your wedding photographer typically 2 to 12 hours. On average 7 hours.
- Editing and retouching of the photos. Delivered edited wedding photos anywhere from 200 to 1000 finished digital files.
- Some type of online gallery photos and also an online ordering system so you can order prints and enlargements of your wedding.
- Some wedding pictures will include a wedding App.
- Your wedding photographer will deliver your wedding photos either via a Dropbox electronic download emailed USB thumb drive.
Optional items that your wedding photographer in your package, are the following:
- A second photographer for assistant photographer
- A videographer
- Live stream of the ceremony.
- Engagement photo shoot with your wedding photographer.
- Finally, a custom-designed wedding album.
How do you price wedding photography packages?
In general we base our wedding photography on a few criteria including how long we are there; how many photographers are we bringing; the location of the wedding i.e. is it far away or close; the size of your wedding for example do you have 20 people or 200; and finally are we including a print and enlargement package or album; and are we bringing a videographer.
Is 6 hours of wedding photography enough?
From our experience 6 hours of coverage with your wedding photographer can be a very good amount of time for your wedding. Last year we did 93 weddings and the average coverage was 7 hours. 6 hours should be sufficient for your typical wedding. If you have multiple locations on your wedding day such as getting ready for one location and the guys getting ready at a 2nd location, ceremony in one location, and reception in a different location, this would require considerable more hours with your wedding photographer.
How many pictures should you get from your wedding photographer?
We tell our clients we will deliver at least 50 edited photos per hour that we are shooting. So, a 7-hour wedding you would receive at least 350 edited photos. If we have two photographers, you would receive at least 80 edited images per hour.
Should I have one or two photographers at my wedding?
Two wedding photographers will always provide better coverage than one. But we do photograph many weddings with just one wedding photographer because that is what the client requested. When you have a wedding with multiple locations or a wedding that is very large, say over 200 people. It is very helpful to have a second wedding photographer. Without a second photographer you start to miss certain photos. If you would like examples of what those photos are, contact our office
Do photographers eat at weddings?
Most clients do fee their wedding vendors when the time commitment or contract is 4 hours or more. We do not require this in our contract but the majority of our clients do provide a vendor meal. Most of the wedding venues offer a discounted price for vendor meals that you can provide for your wedding photographer.
Do wedding photographers give all photos?
In general no. Part of the reason you’re hiring a wedding photographer is for us to go through all the photos that we took. You don’t want the photos where people’s eyes are closed or the flash didn’t go off or you have an embarrassing look on your face. It is our job to go through all of them and select the best. But rest assured we will select every photo and edit and retouch them for you .
Do wedding photographers retouch photos?
Yes, your wedding photographer should edit and retouch your photos. We include standard editing with all weddings. Standard editing includes things like cropping, alignment, exposure correction, contrast, white balance, color correction and with close-ups of the bride and groom we will do red eye removal and teeth and eye whitening.
What do wedding photographers not edit?
What is not included in our standard editing is what is called image altering. Wedding photographers define image altering as slimming or weight reduction, or eye swaps, removing people or objects from photos. All of these edits cost extra. Please inquire if interested in these services.
How important is a second photographer at a wedding?
We believe a second photographer at a wedding is very helpful. If you are having a very small, short, one-location wedding, one photographer is sufficient. If you have a long wedding, or multiple locations on your wedding day, a second wedding photographer is extremely helpful and you will receive photos that just one photographer cannot achieve.
How long do I need a photographer for at my wedding?
It depends what you’re planning for your wedding day. If you are doing a simple elopement with one hour on the beach, you may only need one hour with a wedding photographer. If you have 150 guests, four different locations during the day of your wedding and you have hair and makeup starting early that day and the party going until midnight, you probably need at least 8 hours with your wedding photographer.
Where do wedding photographers sit?
Wedding photographers and videographers do not sit during the wedding. We are usually walking around documenting the event.
How long does it take a photographer to edit photos?
We are one of the quickest studios in all of Florida to deliver edited photos and edited video. We tell our clients they will receive their edited content within 3 weeks of the wedding day. Our main competitor is delivering their edited content on average in 3 months.
Do you need a photographer at the wedding?
It really depends on your budget. We understand that not everyone can afford to have a professional wedding photographer and videographer at their wedding. You may be just fine having a family or friend document your day but make sure your expectations are reasonable for the outcome. But, if you want to make sure you have professional memories of your day then it is wise to hire a professional wedding photographer.
How can I save money when hiring a wedding photographer?
One of the easiest ways to save money with your wedding photographer is to limit the number of hours they are working on your wedding day. If you request unlimited coverage on the day of your wedding, the price is going to be high. But, if you can get away with a small number of hours you will save a lot of money with your wedding budget. Another way to save money with your wedding photographer is to print your own photos and design your own wedding album.
