WELCOME
It’s so good to have you here. My style is modern photojournalism with a touch of fine art. For most of the day, I’m out of the way capturing your day just as it unfolds without much direction. As much as I love capturing those moments, I know you’ll want beautiful posed portraits of the two of you.
I have been managing timelines, bustling dresses, helping groomsmen remember their vows, and photographing wedding days for over 3 years. I I graduated with a degree in Photojournalism and many of the rules I learned in school are ingrained in the way I photograph your wedding.
It’s about photographing your guests smiling as a warm tear slides down their face as they partake in the most important day of your life with you. The laughter that happens when your best man tells an embarassing story from your college years.
I’m so glad my style has caught your eye. I look forward to being there on your big day. .
Photos that you will enjoy for a lifetime and as you go through the images on a bad day, a smile starts at the corner of your lips and slides across your face reminding you of why you chose that person to be your partner for the rest of your life. These are the most important parts of a wedding.

ENGAGEMENTS
I’m able to schedule your session Monday-Friday and ideally we’ll be shooting during the last two hours of the day in the prettiest light. I know it may not seem possible to schedule time during the week, but generally parks are emptier, cafes are quieter and we’ll have better luck with parking! Our sessions are a lot of fun! We spend about 2 hours together on location around Austin taking awesome portraits of the two of you. Activities that reflect your personalities are wonderful additions to your session. Getting ice cream or snocones look great with flowing dresses and light colored clothes during the warmer weather, wheras scarves and boots and date to your favorite coffee shop look amazing during the chillier fall afternoons.
WEDDING DEADLINES Save the Dates are typically sent out 6-8 months in advance for local weddings. If you’re planning a destination wedding here, or have many out of town guests that will be travelling to Austin, plan on sending them 8 months to a year out. If you’re not on a deadline, and just want to get some awesome photos of the two of you together, pick a time of the year you prefer and we’ll work together to schedule something awesome. SESSIONS ARE $350 and come with high resolution digital files. add a 10x10” layflat book with signing pages for $275

Sharing digital files is fantastic and great for instant gratification. But filling your home by hanging pictures and sharing your heirloom album with neices and nephews and eventually maybe kids of your own to ooh and ahh over is priceless. Your mom probably wants to frame a few pictures of her new son-in-law. and your Gran wants to show off how beautiful you looked. Making prints of your wedding day is the perfect start to a lifetime collection of art and memories. Prints can be ordered through your online gallery & shipped directly to you.

BE MODERN
Have a favorite local printer? Want to make your own prints? Want to upload all your pictures to Facebook, tag your friends and show off to the world? Go for it! I’m happy you’re excited and love your photos. All of the high resolution USBs come with identical low resolution copies for you to share, a print release for you and a list of my favorite local and online consumer print labs.
QUICK QUESTIONS: Q: Can we still order prints through you? A: Absolutely! Your online gallery comes with a built in shopping cart that ships prints directly to your house or office. It also has sharing links so you can let family and friends order!
Q: Are the images on the DVD edited? A: All images are edited for color, contrast and exposure. Extensive retouching is not done unless specially requested. We can discuss this more if the issue arises!

QUESTIONS Q: We’re on a super tight budget and your package prices are out of our reach. Can we customize the packages listed? Are your prices flexible? A: I completely understand budgets and needing to stick to them! Send me an email with what your’e thinking and let’s talk! Q: We’re getting married on a Friday or Sunday - do you offer any discounts for nonSaturday days? A: Since I only take one wedding a weekend I cannot offer any discounts for off days at this time. Q: We have several hours between the ceremony and reception. Can we split the coverage into two parts? A:Unfortunately not. Coverage is consecutive meaning you can’t split them up. Maybe instead of taking a break we can instead take some awesome portraits of the two of you or more extended family groupings. Send me an email and we’ll hash out a plan! Q: We really want to book you for our wedding! What’s next? A: Yay! I’m so happy to hear that. The next step is to sign the online contract and pay your retainer of 50% of your package total to secure your date.
