Frequently asked
How do you choose which wedding photographers to list?
We start with active businesses in a market, then filter by verified Google reviews, response time, years in business, and prior award history. Full weights are on our methodology page.
Do photographers pay to be listed here?
No. Listings are free and the ranking isn't for sale. We offer optional paid "Featured" placement that's clearly labeled and doesn't affect the main ranking.
How often do you refresh rankings?
Monthly for rating and review changes. Awards lists update yearly.
