FAQ
What does a wedding look like with you?
I love being by your side as you prepare for your wedding day. I’ll share an itinerary to help you organize and navigate your day, highlighting the best times for couple photos, different lighting, and all the special moments. I also get so excited receiving photos of your dress, shoes, and invitations—they’re all little pieces of your story!
On your wedding day, my goal is to capture the feelings, the mood, the emotions, and both the calm and chaotic moments—the details that make your wedding truly unique. I want your images to tell your love story exactly as it happened, so that every time you look at them, you relive those beautiful moments.
Where are you based and do you travel?
I’m based in San Antonio, Texas, but I delight in traveling to capture weddings in extraordinary destinations. I’ve had the privilege of working across multiple states and look forward to adding even more to my portfolio. If your celebration is beyond an hour from San Antonio, I’d love to connect and explore tailored travel options to bring your vision to life.
When will our images be ready?
Wedding Collections
For your wedding, you will receive a private online gallery with all of your images within 8 weeks—often sooner, depending on the season in which your story is captured. From this gallery, you can effortlessly download every image, share them with loved ones, curate your favorites, and order fine art prints to elegantly preserve your memories.
Other Photography Sessions
For all other sessions, your images will typically be delivered within 3 weeks, depending on the season, unless otherwise arranged. Each gallery is thoughtfully prepared to ensure you receive your photographs showcasing you.
How many images will we receive?
Every session is thoughtfully curated to reflect your unique story, allowing each moment to unfold naturally. Some sessions may yield a rich collection of images, capturing the emotions, details, and fleeting moments that make your experience truly unforgettable. While image counts vary, sessions typically range from 10 to 80+, and weddings can span anywhere from 200 to over 1,000 carefully selected photographs. Should you have any questions about your gallery or the images captured, I am always happy to guide you through it, ensuring your collection feels as effortless and beautifully curated as your day itself.
What is required to book with you?
Reserving Your Session
To ensure an exclusive and personalized experience, securing your session requires the following:
Non-Refundable Retainer: A retainer is required to reserve your date and time. This guarantees your session is officially secured in my calendar and is applied toward your total session fee. Please note, the retainer is non-refundable.
Signed Contract: A signed agreement is required to confirm your session. This outlines all session details, expectations, and ensures both parties are protected, allowing us to focus entirely on creating timeless images.
Once both the retainer and contract are received, your date is officially reserved, and your journey toward an extraordinary photography experience begins.
