Frequently asked questions

Answered by Atavia Weddings

Is there a deposit to reserve our date?

A nominal $500 deposit reserves your date, and it's applied toward your package price. Dates are held first-come, first-served.

Is there a travel fee?

No travel fees. We keep dedicated teams positioned in your area, so you get seamless service without extra travel costs. If your wedding is less than 45 days out, a $250 accommodation fee applies.

What's your most popular package?

Our 8-hour coverage is by far the most popular. It strikes a well-rounded balance, capturing everything from getting ready through the major reception moments.

Can we receive the raw footage?

Yes — we provide complimentary access to all raw, unedited footage. You'll get a private link to view and download everything at your convenience.

Is drone footage included?

Drone footage is included in our larger packages. Our licensed operators capture aerial views of your venue when weather, FAA regulations, and timing permit. For safety and discretion, drones are never flown during the ceremony.

What's the turnaround time?

Standard editing is 30–90 days after your wedding, with most films completed within 30–60 days. Peak season can extend that, and a rush option is available for an additional fee.

Planning a wedding photographer in Fargo

How much does a wedding photographer cost in Fargo?

Most couples in Fargo budget between $1,500 and $3,500 for wedding photography. Packages at the lower end typically cover 6–8 hours with one shooter; higher tiers add a second shooter, engagement sessions, and albums. Always confirm exactly how many hours and edited images are included.

When should we book our wedding photographer?

Photographers with strong reputations are commonly booked 9–14 months ahead — earlier for peak-season Saturdays. If your date is inside six months, ask about waitlists and cancellations; openings do appear.

What should we ask before booking?

Ask to see two full galleries from real weddings (not highlight reels), confirm who will actually shoot your wedding, and get delivery timelines and image counts in the contract.

How does Lazo rank wedding photographers in Fargo?

Rankings come from the Lazo Score — verified reviews weighted for recency — and are never sold. Vendors without verified reviews yet start at the community baseline of 65 and earn their score as verified reviews arrive.
