Anita GarciaHere’s a fact: planning a wedding is exhausting. I remember frantically looking for the best wedding venues in El Paso, event planners in El Paso and of course, the right wedding photographer in El Paso.
In fact, searching for suppliers took more of my time than the actual planning – and even the big day.
So, if you’re a future bride, consider yourself lucky that you’re here because I did some real legwork for you with this list of the five best wedding photographers that you should work with.
How much can you expect to pay for a wedding photographer in El Paso?
The standard rate of a wedding photographer in El Paso ranges between $2,000 and $3,000.

I believe that capturing a wedding is just like preserving the story of that day, and that’s exactly what Ed from Edward Louis Photography shines at.
Looking at his portfolio, you’ll see clearly why he’s one of the most celebrated wedding photographers in El Paso. He doesn’t just take the most amazing portrait shots but also snaps those quiet, intimate moments in between.
But more than his gift of photography, clients loved working with Ed because of his calm and comforting demeanor, which helps the bride to relax and just enjoy their big day.
Some even noted that he has this gift of making you comfortable in front of the camera, and he even takes the time to guide you through poses, so he can get the best photos of your special day.
Now if you want to hire Ed for your wedding, you need to book at least a few months early to secure your slot.
If we ever needed a photographer again we would go with him!
“Edward was amazing! He made the whole experience easier. We were planning our wedding from out of state. The pre wedding shoot was beautiful in downtown El Paso and he captured wonderful moments during our wedding. If we ever needed a photographer again we would go with him!”

He captured our special moment in the best way possible.
“Recently had an amazing experience shooting with Edward! From the moment I reached out to inquire about setting up an appointment Edward was kind, professional and communicated very well with my fiance and I during the whole shoot. I will definitely be using Edward again and recommending him to family and friends. Thank you for the amazing pictures. He captured our special moment in the best way possible. Thank you again!”

One of my non-negotiables for a wedding photographer in El Paso was to find someone who I can work with comfortably and not add to my stress.
So, when I discovered that Color BY Hex is run by a husband and wife tandem, I knew right away that they would be a good fit for your own wedding.
Known for his off-camera flash photography, Hex captures engagements and weddings in an unconventional style, giving them a unique glow that you won’t find in many other photographers.
Assisted by his wife, they help put your mind at ease by taking care of the small details and putting you in the right mindset on the day of your shoot.
He’s also very good at calming your nerves because he feels like a friend doing a casual shoot. The only difference is that you get the most amazing photos that surely deserve to be hung in your walls.
There were instances though when clients experienced delays in processing images due to a high volume of projects.
Wherever we went he was there capturing every moment.
“Hex and his wife did our wedding pics June 24,2023. We were beyond satisfied. His work and customer service was outstanding. He also did our engagement pictures. Wherever we went he was there capturing every moment. Thank you Hex for making our wedding perfect! This is just one of many.”

Wedding Xpressions is another husband and wife wedding photographer duo in El Paso that’s been lauded by clients and awarded around town for their incredible work.
They shot the wedding of a friend and I was truly impressed by how seamless they made everything look. We hardly even noticed that there were photographers during the wedding, but their photos were beyond amazing.
What’s great about this team is that they know exactly how to capture your vision, and they won’t bug you with instructions and required poses.
It’s because these photographers believe that your wedding shouldn’t be staged, so they make sure to capture only the most authentic images that would make your day extra memorable.
You might experience some delays in the delivery of your photos, especially during peak season. But with a little patience, you’re guaranteed the most amazing photos of your special day.
From the engagement session to the day of the wedding it was such a great experience to work with them.
“Marco and Elba did an amazing job for our wedding. From the engagement session to the day of the wedding it was such a great experience to work with them. They captured every special moment! We are so thankful for their work and it was truly a pleasure to work alongside them to create the best memories for my husband and I! Totally realize and committed to their clients!!”

You can truly see how compassionate they are about their work.
“Alba and Marcos were absolutely amazing! They did both our wedding photos and video, and I couldn’t be happier with the results. You can truly see how compassionate they are about their work—they put their heart into every moment they capture. They were extremely professional, yet so relatable and easy to be around, which made our day feel even more special and stress-free. I would 100% recommend them to anyone looking for photographers and videographers who genuinely care about their clients and their memories!”

Maya Isabella is undeniably one of the most popular wedding photographers in El Paso. So it made perfect sense that I chose her to shoot my wedding day, and I knew I made the right decision.
I think what truly makes Maya special is the fact that she treats her couples like her own best friends. She goes into that first meeting with the goal of understanding your vision for your wedding.
On your big day, she makes sure to blend in the background while capturing your most precious moments. We’re still in love with our photos to this day and we’d gladly hire Maya on all of our special events.
Now, Maya Isabella’s rate is more expensive than other photographers. But you’ll never regret paying more for the images that you’d get.
Her work is beautiful and we are beyond satisfied with all of our pictures.
“Maya is the absolute best! She was very professional, very patient, and helped us to remember even the smallest details for our big day. Her work is beautiful and we are beyond satisfied with all of our pictures. She was so kind with everyone and rolled with some big last minute changes we had to make due to weather – and helped us make even the unplanned things special!”

Maya was easy going, very professional, sweet and very fun to work with throughout the whole process.
“Maya is a El Paso based photographer who traveled to Sedona Arizona to capture our wedding day! Maya was easy going, very professional, sweet and very fun to work with throughout the whole process.

5. Treadwell Photography
Address: 6692 Capitan Ridge
Phone: +1 915 731 0394
Business hours:
- Monday and Wednesday to Saturday: 10:00 AM to 6:00 PM
- Tuesday: 2:00 PM to 6:00 PM
- Closed on Sundays
Treadwell was recommended by a friend who preferred a wedding photographer in El Paso that does traditional shots.
But traditional doesn’t mean boring because if there’s one photographer who can give you the most romantic wedding photos, it has to be Chris Treadwell.
She has been in this business since 2006 and has shot hundreds of weddings around Texas. In fact, she’s so good that a lot of her clients visit El Paso just to have a photo session and then invite her out of state to shoot their wedding.
What’s great about working with Chris is that while she’s the expert, she really listens to what you want because she believes that beautiful wedding photos are born out of the collaborative effort between her and the couple.
She also offers competitive rates on her packages and ensures that you feel loved and cared for during your big day even if you’re a little tight on budget. This is why it can be hard to book her services, especially during peak months.
We are more than pleased with her work and highly recommend her as a photographer.
“Ms. Treadwell is a fantastic photographer. We loved the images she took of us a three years ago on a visit home to El Paso. We are also looking forward to another photo session on our trip there in just a few weeks. We are more than pleased with her work and highly recommend her as photographer.”

An awesome photographer and person!
“Chrisinda Treadwell is phenomenal! She’s extremely professional and friendly, and showed me my pictures after they were taken to make sure that I liked them. Afterwards my car wouldn’t start, and she went out of her way to help me jump-start it – An awesome photographer, and person!”
