I've been through so many wild wedding day mishaps, but guess what? Everything is fine because you hired people like me to handle it. Hand your stress over to me. I'll put it in the recycling bin. We're done with it. Nothing but blue skies and topo chico from now on.
I’ll show up to your wedding prepared for any and all disasters, armed with a camera (well, three of them) and a plan. You’ll never have to worry about photos being delivered late and you’ll always get more than I’ve promised. Basically, I take your memories VERY seriously.
The process of booking all of your vendors, meetings, contracts, deposits, quotes... it's a lot and I get that. I have a streamlined process, from our first email to your gallery delivery. I offer two full day packages (which you can customize) and one budget friendly option, and list my pricing on my website because again, I know it's a lot.
streamlined. organized. Big Smiles.
After we get to know each other, I'll send you over a contract and deposit. You'll also receive a thank you gift.
We'll start planning your engagement or bridal session. We'll find the perfect spot have SO much fun!
I'll send you a questionnaire to gather all the important pieces.. I'll also create a custom photo timeline.
My team will bring big smiles and peace of mind as we capture beautiful photos of you.
Within 3 days, you'll receive 50+ preview images. Within 60 days, you'll receive your full wedding gallery.
You'll receive a thank you gift. And hopefully a lifetime friend (but I won't force that or make it weird!) <3.
Raw images are files directly from the camera, that have no editing done. While I do not deliver the rather bland raw files, I do deliver full resolution, professionally edited images. This is what you want!
A 20% non-refundable retainer is taken to secure your date, with the remaining 80% due one week before your wedding. All payments will be taken through our online workspace.
Within three days of your wedding, you'll receive a 50+ image preview gallery. You will receive your wedding gallery within 60 days. Engagement sessions are delivered within three weeks.
I typically do not take on weddings that require extended travel (staying near the fam is a priority). I travel around the Austin, hill country, Dallas, Houston, and San Antonio areas free of charge for full day weddings.
I process RAW image files by cropping, straightening, adjusting exposure, playing with lighting, making sure colors are corrected, and culling through the images to get rid of repeats and out of focus moments. I also try to edit out distracting elements like people in the background, an oddly placed stop sign, etc.
Yes! Your photos will be delivered in a gallery with a print shop attached to it. While I do encourage you to use this shop, you aren't required to.
The most important tip I have is to make sure you're working with a professional coordinator or planner! I have a vendor list that I would love to share with you. Feel free to ask!
Couples typically receive anywhere from 550-1100 images. I guarantee 50 images per hour of photography.
I fully believe that your wedding day should be about enjoying time with your family and friends, celebrating your love. Besides posed photos (family formals, bridal party, newlywed photos), I try to stay fairly hands off and candid.
Sales tax will be collected based on your final total. Occasionally, you may have to pay a facility fee for your engagement or bridal session location (but I'll have free suggestions also).
