I tend to like things to be as simple and streamlined as possible, so I don't require any kind of consultation before booking or sharing my pricing (although you are of course free to request a Zoom consultation at any time if you want to chat face-to-face). If you're interested in booking with me, simply start by filling out the inquiry form on my contact page, and I'll reach out to you by email (typically within 1 business day) to let you know if I'm available for your wedding date and answer any questions that you might have. I'll ask if you would like to go with one of my wedding packages, or I'm happy to provide a quote for a custom package if needed. As soon as you're ready to move forward, I'll send over a digital contract to read over and sign, and an invoice to pay your 50% retainer to reserve your date on my calendar and start planning!

I'm based in the Austin area (Georgetown, specifically), but I am available for weddings anywhere in the state of Texas. All travel expenses are complimentary for weddings, but I do charge a 54¢/mile (round trip) travel for out-of-town photoshoots only.

Most weddings need around 10 hours to be documented in a way that feels complete and relaxed (weddings with multiple locations and/or catholic weddings tend to need closer to 12). Less time can work, but if you're hope is to capture the complete story of your day from the details, getting ready moments, and all the way until the final send off, working with less than 10 hours can often create a tighter timeline and can make the day feel rushed, which ultimately means sacrificing being able to be present, intentional, and able to truly enjoy your wedding day. Because of this, my most popular package includes up to 12 hours, so that we have the flexibility to build a relaxed timeline when we are closer to your wedding date without needing to know exactly how much you'll need just yet.

Within a week of your wedding, you’ll receive a sneak peek gallery delivered straight to your email so you have something to relive and share right away. Your full gallery is delivered within 8 weeks. It’s a beautifully curated online gallery, organized chronologically with labeled sections so everything is easy to find whether you’re revisiting it later or sharing it with friends and family. From your gallery, you can create and share a favorites list, download both high resolution and web-size images with no limits, and choose to hide any images you’d prefer to keep private before sharing your link. You’ll also have access to a built-in professional print shop where you can easily order prints, albums, and wall art, but this is optional and you are totally free to print your images from anywhere that you choose.

For weddings, I typically deliver somewhere around 1,000-1,200 final, edited images for a typical 8-12 hour wedding day. I typically deliver a lot of in-between and candid images, which tends to result in a lot of photos.

As of my last count, I have had the honor of photographing over 300 weddings all over Texas since establishing my business in late 2014!

Yes! For weddings, a solid emergency plan is obviously a non-negotiable. I only photograph weddings with a trusted, skilled, and experienced second photographer to assist me as well as a baked-in back-up in case we needed them to take over for any reason.

I have a network of photographer friends (all of which are running their own businesses as lead photographers as well) that I rotate through to assist me at weddings, and all of them are of similar skill and experience and artists that I would trust to represent me and my brand if for any reason they needed to take over for me.

I highly recommend having an engagement session with me because of the many benefits it has, beyond the obvious of just getting nice photos for memories/tradition/save-the-dates/displaying at the wedding: Even if you've had photos taken by someone else already, it's extremely helpful to have a session with me as a sort of "trial run" the same way you would do a trial with your hair and make-up team. Not only do I learn a lot about what works well for you, your style, your personalities and what makes you most comfortable, but it also gives you a chance to learn a lot about about being photographed by me, specifically, before the big day when time will be limited. You may learn that you're very nervous in front of the camera and need a little practice relaxing, or you may learn that you aren't a fan of yourself in more serious/editorial poses and that's great for us to figure out BEFORE the wedding day! On my end, I usually find that spending a relaxed hour working together helps prepare me to capture you the most authentically on your wedding day more than any meetings, questionnaires, or written requests ever could.

A bridal session is a photoshoot of just the bride on a separate day from the wedding, usually sometime in the last month once alterations are complete. Occasionally, brides choose to do them after the wedding instead. Most brides pair this with their hair and makeup trial and if possible, a mock-up of their wedding day bouquet (keep in mind, hair/make-up and flowers are an added expense). It’s a chance to see your full bridal look in photos before the wedding day, spend a little extra time soaking in the experience of being a bride, and create portraits that simply aren’t possible to fit into a busy wedding timeline. Many brides also choose to print their favorites in an album or display them at the wedding or in their home afterward. A few reasons brides love doing bridal sessions: A full dress rehearsal. You’d be surprised how often a bridal session helps catch small things before the wedding day, whether that’s adjusting a hairstyle, tweaking makeup after seeing how it photographs, realizing a dress needs one more alteration, or swapping uncomfortable shoes or undergarments. It’s a low-stress way to make sure everything feels exactly right before the wedding. More time for portraits. On the wedding day, we’ll absolutely make time for beautiful portraits of you, but realistically, the day moves quickly. A bridal session gives us the freedom to slow down, explore a location, and create a much larger variety of images without the pressure of a timeline. Because you’ll never be a bride again. There’s something really special about getting fully dressed up with nowhere to rush off to. It’s fun, memorable, and honestly one of those experiences many brides say they’re so glad they made time for. Your future self, and probably your parents, will love having these photos. That said, bridal sessions are completely optional. They’re more common in the South and aren’t really a tradition everywhere, so if it’s not something that feels important to you, that’s perfectly okay too. Some brides are all in, some skip it entirely, and both are equally valid.

I'm all photography here, but I highly recommend booking with https://www.austinchickcollective.com/ for the dream team, if possible!

No, film is just a part of my typical workflow rather than an add-on. I'll shoot film throughout the day, alongside my digital work, whenever I feel like it's the best medium for the moment. Any film that I shoot will be developed by a lab, scanned with specialized scanners, and sent to me as digital files that I can edit as-needed and deliver alongside your digital images.

I don't have any specific rules for this, but it's always smart to book photography as soon as you have your venue and date set! Most of my couples book me 9-12 months before their weddings. Keep in mind that I, like most wedding photographers, are limited to only a few weekends per month to accept weddings (I typically cap my months at 2-3 weddings to allow myself enough time for reasonable turnaround for editing my galleries) which is why we tend to book up our limited space far in advance. That being said, it never hurts to reach out if you are working with a shorter timeline!

I use AI sparingly, and never to create images out of thin air or do anything crazy like change people's entire appearances. I mainly usually use ImagenAI to assist in culling my weddings, but only in a way that narrows things down for me rather than doing it 100% for me. It helps me clear out all of the duplicates, obvious test shots, complete misfires, etc. and then I still need to scroll through and manually check for anything that I want to add back in or cut. It saves me a bit of time from doing it completely manually, but it is not a replacement for my own eye. For editing, I sometimes use the program to apply a base edit to the photos (with a profile that I spent about a year training to mimic my own editing preferences), but this does not mean that I'm letting a robot edit your images. All this does is save me the first step of editing where I apply a consistent color profile, adjust exposure and adjust white balance. From there, I still need to manually edit every single photo individually to tweak the base edit and adjust highlights, textures, contrast, and to personally do any retouching.
