About Doug Hyde Photographer

Doug Hyde Photographer

Authentic. Timeless. Story-Driven Wedding Photography.

I'm a people photographer, an individual not a company. This is a second career for me. My photography experience goes back all my adult life—it’s a love, a passion, my craft and art. I’ve been selling photos for six years, working full-time as a professional photographer for four, and photographing weddings for three. I’ve shot more than 65 weddings, from small and intimate ceremonies to large, lively celebrations.

My photo style is mostly narrative/documentary. I capture the events and special moments of your day as they unfold—start to finish. It’s a variation of “lifestyle” photography: natural photos, unposed images, and unscripted moments. I say “mostly” because I also mix in traditional, classic wedding pictures of the bride and groom, families, and wedding parties. I'm super easy to work with. You'll get an agreement laying out all that I'll do. Small deposit. We'll catch up again before the actual date. I'll be there to capture wonderful photos. In a reasonable timeframe, you will get a large gallery of edited photos.

A Wonderful Experience!

Doug was great! We had a small city hall ceremony and Doug's photos captured the day beautifully. We made our favorite photos into an announcement postcard, and several recipients remarked that the photos were beautifully composed. The photos were sent to us promptly after the event and were easily accessible, which made for easy ordering of prints and cards. I would (& have!) gladly recommended Doug to anyone looking to get their special day photographed by a professional!

Doug is exceptional to work with. Doug is very friendly and my wife and I highly recommend him. He took great engagement and wedding photos. For the wedding, he moved around without being noticed to very effectively to capture every moment with a variety of angles of us, our family and friends and the church. He similarly captured great moments in the reception.
He's the absolute best!

We have contacted Doug twice. Once when my husband and I renewed our vows and then when I got pregnant and wanted to do a maternity photoshoot. Both times he was wonderful. He is kind and polite and takes the most beautiful photos. He really knows how to capture the beauty! We are actually going to see him again in December as we are going to do some photos with our girl who is almost one year old now! Seriously, if you haven't contacted him yet, what are you waiting for? He's the absolute best.
Great wedding pictures

From the moment we booked Doug Hyde Photographer, we knew we were in good hands. They were extremely trustworthy, reliable, and cost-effective throughout the entire process. Doug and his team were first-class photographers with great communication skills, and the results were truly spectacular. They went above and beyond what we had contracted, providing us with amazing photos of our wedding ceremony and reception that we will cherish forever. Doug also offered many helpful suggestions to make our special day even more memorable, and we are thrilled with the beautiful wedding album they created for us. We highly recommend Doug Hyde Photographer to any couple looking for a talented, professional, and affordable photography team to capture the magic of their wedding day.

All the photos I deliver are reviewed and edited by me personally. I take this important part of my job quite seriously. I've taken editing coursework (RISD) and I continue to build my skills. Without question, the most important photos get the most editing attention by me to get them as perfect as they can be, but all are touched. Let me write as well that I sometimes miss details that turn out to be important to my clients. It has happened. I do welcome all client input and do my best to address all reasonable wishes even if it requires additional editing.

While my forte is photography, I also do video. About a third of my wedding clients sign up for a "wedding video" that I produce with video clips and photos put together in one storyline, put to music with titles and credits. 10 to 20 minutes max. The video sources can come off a second camera I run off a tripod, or off my main camera while I'm not taking photos. This engagement video is in this style, much shorter, but a good example of my video work: https://youtu.be/eW-0GtQMPfg I do recommend a dedicated videographer for couples that want production-quality videos throughout a long wedding day.

I commit to delivering photos 2-6 weeks after your wedding. Some of this is seasonal, as busier times may push me to the upper limit. That said, I don't like sitting on photos or getting behind and I often surprise my clients with much faster turnarounds.

I average 50 to 100 per hour. I did six non-elope weddings in the last three month and the average was 415 delivered, with a low of 270 and a high of 537. These drive higher photo counts -- more wedding aspects such as pre-wedding, first look, ceremony, long reception; more people as I aim to capture everyone multiple times; if I'm also doing video which will dampen the photo count; etc.

I do! Just let me know if your venue requires a certificate of liability, and I’ll send that over to them.

While I often work by myself, I am able to add a second photographer if there is a desire or need.

Yes! Here are options I offer: - Engagement Photo Session. $200 with 20% credited towards a wedding package. - Additional hour of coverage. $200 / hour. - Second photographer. $75 / hour. 2-hour minimum. - Heirloom album. Starting at $300.
