Questions & FAQs

Don't look back and regret not having a second photographer for your special day. Having a second shooter not only provides a different and unique perspective but also increases the number of images you'll receive. With a second photographer, you can expect an additional 500+ images to cherish.

Having a second shooter is not only beneficial for you but also for the primary photographer. It allows them extra time to unleash their creativity, knowing that nothing will be missed. Rest assured that our second shooters are not newcomers or photographers in training. They are experienced professionals with their own successful photography businesses. We have carefully chosen amazing individuals who work alongside us, adding their expertise to capture every significant moment of your wedding day.

Investing in a second photographer ensures comprehensive coverage and a wealth of precious memories. Let us bring our dynamic team to document your wedding day from multiple angles, providing you with a rich and diverse collection of photographs that truly tell your unique love story.

Since most of our weddings take place in various locations across Texas, it's important to consider the travel distance involved. We want to ensure that we can be there to document your special day, no matter the distance. Therefore, we charge a nominal travel fee of $0.57 per mile for round-trip travel from our studio to the event venue.

To provide you with accurate and transparent pricing, we calculate the exact distance to and from the venue. The travel fee is then included in your invoice and contract as part of the travel expenses. This allows us to cover the costs associated with reaching your wedding location, ensuring that we can be present to capture every precious moment.

Our commitment is to deliver exceptional photography services, and that includes going the extra mile—literally—to be there for you. Let us journey with you across Texas to create beautiful memories that will last a lifetime.

We understand the importance of image rights and the desire to have control over the photographs capturing your special day. Our current contract ensures that you have the necessary permissions to print the images, granting you the freedom to bring your cherished moments to life in tangible form. Rest assured, the rights to print are explicitly stated in our contract, empowering you to reproduce and display your photos as you wish.

Additionally, we have implemented copyright protections to safeguard our work from unauthorized usage or misuse by others. Unfortunately, the photography industry encounters instances where images are stolen and used without permission, often for commercial purposes. To maintain the integrity of our craft and protect our clients, we do not permit the unauthorized use of our images for self-promotion or commercial gain.

Nevertheless, we embrace collaboration and are open to networking opportunities, particularly with local vendors. We value the chance to share and publish our work in appropriate contexts. While we maintain selectivity in such instances, we are not rigid or overly restrictive.

If you are interested in purchasing full copyrights, granting you complete ownership of the images and allowing for "CC" (Creative Commons) usage and album edits, we offer a separate contract. The pricing for full copyrights starts at $3,500 per album. If this option appeals to you, we can provide you with detailed information outlining the steps involved in the purchase process.

At the heart of our approach is the commitment to preserving the beauty of your memories while maintaining the integrity of our work. We aim to provide you with the freedom to enjoy and share your cherished photographs while upholding the professional standards of the photography industry.

To ensure a seamless and stress-free experience, we've designed our payment process to be as accommodating as possible. We kindly request a few details from you to set up your personalized payment plan.

Firstly, we need to know the date and the amount you'd like to pay. Whether you prefer monthly, weekly, or customized intervals, we can tailor the payment schedule to suit your financial preferences. You have the flexibility to skip months if needed, and even if your payment plan extends beyond your wedding date, it won't hinder the editing process. Rest assured, we dedicate up to 4 months after your wedding to meticulously edit your photos and videos, ensuring they are perfected to capture the essence of your special day.

In the rare scenario where your payment plan exceeds the 4-month editing period, we kindly request that the payment plan be completed before we release your album to you. This situation rarely arises, as most clients complete their payments within the timeframe required to finalize their albums.

To provide you with utmost convenience, our automated system sends timely reminders before each payment due date. We understand that life can bring unexpected financial challenges, so if you encounter any difficulties in a particular month, please don't hesitate to inform us. We can easily adjust the system to accommodate your needs, allowing you to skip a payment until you feel comfortable again. We genuinely empathize with life's unpredictable nature and are here to support you throughout the process.

When planning your family photo session on your wedding day, we recommend allocating approximately 30 to 45 minutes. While it's possible that we may not require the entire suggested time, it's always better to be prepared and allow for a buffer. Plus, having a brief break can work wonders in helping you and your wedding party stay organized and relaxed.

Clear communication is paramount to ensure a smooth and efficient photo session. Make sure everyone is aware of the designated locations and the specific time they need to be there. This will greatly streamline the process and keep things moving seamlessly throughout the day.

Remember, by setting aside this dedicated time for family photos, you can cherish beautiful moments with your loved ones while maintaining a well-structured schedule.

We fully understand your excitement to receive your cherished wedding images, and we share your enthusiasm. Rest assured, we work tirelessly to ensure a timely delivery of your stunning photos. However, we kindly request your patience as the editing process requires dedicated time and attention to detail.

On average, the editing timeline for your images is estimated to be around 4 to 5 months. This timeframe allows us to provide you with a selection of meticulously crafted edits that truly capture the essence of your special day. We take pride in our in-house editing process, ensuring the highest quality and personalized touch for each image.

Throughout this journey, we maintain open communication with you regarding the progress and any potential extensions. Our goal is to keep you informed and included every step of the way.

Low-light photography requires expertise and a deep understanding of how lighting works. I have dedicated myself to honing my skills in this area, ensuring that I am well-equipped to handle challenging lighting conditions. Rest assured, I am extremely comfortable and confident in capturing stunning images in low-light situations.

Embracing the Beauty of Low Light: Creative Suggestions

In low-light settings, a whole new world of possibilities opens up for creating moody and romantic images that truly capture the essence of the moment. I am thrilled to share my creative suggestions with you, helping us achieve the very best outcome for your photographs.

By utilizing specialized techniques, equipment, and my knowledge of lighting, we can collaborate to bring out the magic in low-light situations. Whether it's playing with shadows, incorporating ambient light, or using artificial lighting strategically, we will work together to create extraordinary and captivating images that will exceed your expectations.

I am committed to making your low-light photography experience an unforgettable one, filled with artistic brilliance and timeless beauty. Trust in my expertise, and together, we will craft images that evoke emotion, preserve precious memories, and showcase the unique ambiance of your special moments.

While I'm here to assist you and provide guidance, it's important to note that I am not a wedding planner. Crafting a detailed wedding timeline falls outside of my expertise and responsibilities. However, I can offer a shot list that you can customize to get a sense of how photography will be integrated throughout your day. This can serve as a helpful tool for building a schedule with photography in mind.

If you have chosen not to hire a wedding coordinator for the day, please understand that I cannot assume that role without proper compensation (typically an additional fee of at least $2,000). As a photographer, my primary focus will be capturing those special moments through my lens. It would be challenging for me to simultaneously manage the responsibilities of a coordinator, and this could negatively impact our working relationship and overall experience.

While I genuinely want to help and ensure you have a fantastic day, it's essential to acknowledge our professional boundaries. I am committed to delivering exceptional photography services, and my attention will be divided among multiple aspects of your wedding. Consequently, taking on additional responsibilities such as coordinating family members for group photos may hinder my ability to fulfill my primary role effectively.

By understanding and respecting these boundaries, we can create a positive and successful collaboration, resulting in beautiful memories that you will cherish for a lifetime.

Absolutely! We prioritize the importance of insurance coverage, not just for ourselves but also for your peace of mind. We can readily provide you with proof of General Liability insurance, which some venues may require. It's crucial to extend this inquiry to all your vendors to ensure comprehensive coverage. When hiring vendors, remember to prioritize working with legitimate businesses that have proper insurance in place. By taking these precautions, you can protect yourself and your guests throughout the wedding process.

With over 673 wedding venues in Texas, it's unlikely that we've been to every single one. However, we believe that our work speaks for itself, regardless of the venue. When considering a photographer, ask yourself what you value most. Is it someone who has been to your specific venue or someone who can adapt to any space and lighting condition? Our expertise lies in capturing moments in various environments, whether it's low light, rain, or shine. Our technical skills remain consistent regardless of the location. A photographer or videographer shouldn't be limited to a single lighting situation. You'll likely need someone who can handle harsh sun, shade, and dimly lit reception areas. If you're specifically looking for a photographer who has worked at your venue, reach out to the venue for their preferred vendor list. However, we hope you'll appreciate the quality of our work and take a chance on us!

While you are investing in us, we are constantly investing in ourselves to ensure we can provide you with the best possible outcome.

Treating your staff with kindness and consideration is essential for creating a positive and enjoyable experience for everyone involved.

No, we do not offer price matching with other companies. If you find a more affordable option elsewhere, we understand and wish you the best of luck with your event. We want you to find a team that meets both your needs and budget.
