Frequently Asked Questions
Getting Down to the Knitty Gritty
Planning & Booking
When should we reach out if we want you for our wedding?
Most couples that align with my style book 6–18 months in advance, especially for popular
weekends in spring and fall. Reach out sooner rather than later—you’ll secure both your date
and priority planning time.
What does the booking process look like?
To officially reserve your date, I’ll send over a contract and a 50% retainer invoice. Once that’s in place, you can relax knowing your photo coverage is secured and the rest of the payment schedule is straightforward.
Experience & Style
we’re not great in front of the camera. Will you guide us?
Absolutely. I lead gently—not with stiff posing, but with light guidance that keeps you present and relaxed. This ensures authentic, effortlessly styled moments. My best advice is for you guys to stay connected, and tune me out. Everything else will translate perfectly!
How would you describe your editing style? How many images will we receive?
My editing has a cinematic, documentary feel — a mix of timeless tones, true-to-life colors, and an editorial edge. I focus on mood and atmosphere, so your photos feel current now and still hold up 20 years from now. You can expect roughly 60–80 fully edited images per hour of coverage. I don’t deliver RAW files — every image you receive is carefully curated and finished to reflect my vision and your story.
Accessibility & Customization
What other types of services do you offer?
I also photograph engagements, bridal portraits, boudoir, elopements, and family sessions.
For wedding days, many of my couples also choose to add film photography, Super 8 coverage, or a second photographer for expanded documentation.
What about travel—do you cover out-of-town weddings?
I’m based in Austin, and travel is part of the service when it matters. You’ll be billed at cost for
transportation and lodging — if I’m traveling, I’ll send a breakdown so rates are transparent. I’ll go anywhere!
Explore my Galleries to see all the places I’ve ventured!
Where should we print our photos or order albums?
Each online gallery includes a print shop with quality-tested albums, prints, and paper items. You’re welcome to order elsewhere, though I can’t guarantee the same level of quality.
Timeline & Coordination
When will we receive our images?
Weddings & elopement galleries take 6-8 weeks (sneak peeks usually within 1 week). Smaller sessions like engagements are around 4-6 weeks.
What if we need to reschedule or cancel?
Sessions may be rescheduled once with no penalty; your retainer moves with you if your new date is open. Weddings would require a new retainer as I’ll most likely have turned away other potential clients for your original scheduled date. Additional changes or cancellations would require a new retainer.
Do you offer engagement, boudoir, or bridal sessions?
Yes! Those sessions start at $1,200. Each session reflects the same editorial aesthetic and thoughtful approach your wedding will.
