About

You're on a budget, but you don't want budget-looking photography for your wedding day. My packages start at just $799. Packages range from $799 to $2599. The average couple typically spends $1600. My rates are about half of what other professional wedding photographers offer. All Wedding Packages include images on a disc with printing rights.

I love what I do, and nothing makes me feel more honored than to capture memories and moments that someone will keep for a lifetime. It would be my pleasure to have the opportunity to capture your most memorable moments on your wedding day. I will provide you with professionally composed, nicely exposed photography with good contrast and lighting that can only come from a skilled, experienced wedding photographer.

Getting you the very best professional-looking photography with rich, eye-catching color for your special day is what I strive for. This is your special day. Don't settle for anything less!

Photos are shot with a high-resolution Canon 5D MKIII digital SLR camera with fast, sharp, high-quality lenses. High resolution images available on a disc to share with friends and family! Print release included.

If this sounds like something you may be interested in, contact me and setup a consultation.

Thanks,

Edward Hopman

Ed is a fantastic photographer. He was able to capture all of our wedding and was willing to customize a package that fit our needs and budget. He is very professional, passionate about his work, and fit right in with our day. We couldn't have asked for a better person to capture such a memorable day. After the wedding, Ed sent us our pictures very quickly and made it easy for our friends and family to get prints of their choosing. I would definitely refer him to anyone looking for an amazing person to capture their special moments.

ED was such an amazing choice as a photographer. We received our photos just today and we got married on December 12, 2015! ED really cares about his clients and was very creative and thorough with our photos. We received so many compliments from our guests that he was very approachable and fun to be around. I have no complaints from his service and will recommend him to everyone I know! I felt like ED had everything under control and did everything in his power to help things run smoothly and he definitely succeeded. It was such an honor to work with you and see your talent and capabilities come to life in your work! We were very lucky to have him on our special day! Thank you ED!!!

Ed was amazing to work with, from our initial meeting to follow up after the wedding. He encourages you to send him photos of what you like, so he can adapt to the style you are looking for. He made sure to get the shots we needed, even if we didn't think we did... We tried to cut photo time short to get to the party, but he made sure we still got essentials so we didn't regret it later. He isn't in your face, giving you space to enjoy the day, and the photos are still up close and personal. His pricing is incredibly reasonable, and he makes it very easy to get prints. My husband and I highly recommend Edward Hopman Photography.

There are so many wonderful things we want to say about Ed. We truly would recommend him to any bride and groom, and have already given his name out to our friends! Ed was there for the whole wedding experience and yet his presence was hardly felt. He has an amazing ability to capture the perfect moments without being intrusive to your family or guests. Ed demonstrated his incredible talent in a variety of situations and lighting; we did outdoor day pictures, indoor pictures with large windows behind us, and a ton of indoor pictures without windows. In each setting Ed was able to create perfect photographs - sharp, colorful, and artistic. We feel that our photos from the wedding are incredibly balanced between beautiful family and couples portraits with fun and meaningful candid photos of our guests. Ed let us play a significant role in the process of designing our actual wedding album. It was truly a collaborative process. He welcomed us to rearrange photos as we wanted, to turn some to black and white, and to add photos as we wished. The final product of the physical album is stunning- it is so special to us and we keep looking at it. I recommend getting an album- there is something so different and awesome about the real album that the digital photos just can’t display in the same way. The truest sign of how happy we are with Ed’s work is that now his photos are all over our house and we get so many compliments on his work!

Thank you Ed- We couldn’t be happier!

Ed was WONDERFUL!! My husband and I did a lot of the planning on our own, and he definitely relieved A LOT of the unnecessary stress. He was very open to any of our photo op suggestions and definitely used his professional eye for even better photo ops! super flexible with locations and fun to work with

Ed was incredible I couldn't imagine hiring any other photographer. He went through all of his pricing, what to expect from him and was incredible on wedding day. My wife and I hardly even noticed he was there and has a wonderful creative taste you can just see in his photos. If we have baby pictures done in the near future, we will be going to Ed Hopman for those as well. Professional through and through!!!

Ed is a great photographer with a creative eye. He is very friendly, outgoing and professional. He offers an amazing service for a photographer in this price range. He went above & beyond to make sure our day was stress free; I would (and have) recommended Ed to friends and family!

Ed is an AMAZING photographer! He met with us before the wedding and listened to all of the ideas that I had. I showed him photos of some of the ideas and he remembered them the day of the wedding, which made things so much easier on me. On the day of the wedding he showed up right on time and stayed an hour later than we had booked him for to make sure we got all of the photos that we wanted. Many of the wedding guests commented on how nice and friendly he was and he was always very easy to get in touch with if I had any questions.

Compared to so many other photographers, his prices were hands down the best and the wedding photos that the guests order were the most affordable that I have ever seen. With my package, I also received a flash drive that contained all of my wedding photos so I have all of them in digital format with the rights to print them if I decide I want more 10 years from now. I received my photos a few weeks after my wedding in a beautiful personalized DVD case. We, as well as our family and friends, absolutely LOVE our wedding photos and can’t thank you enough Ed.

I worked with Edward on a wedding in July 2012. Katie (the bride) was very happy with her pictures and I found him to be very easy to work with on the day of the wedding. Katie also told me his shots turned out great and were better then imagined. A couple asked me last night about a reference and I told them to contact Edward Hopman Photography.
