Daybreak Studios Investment Guide
Our Story
We simply like PICTURES. We like ART. We like EACHOTHER and that equals a FUN TIME in the Wallace family.
Love is what we do. Love is what we live. Love is the origin of all great mysteries and Love is the core on which we built our business. Brad and I have been shooting over the last 6 years whether it be portraits,weddings, outdoor sports, etc. While Brad went to Hallmark to learn the technical aspects of commercial photography and photojournalism,I taught myself over a number of years and now add the artistic and creative touch to every image. Combine a free spirit with an adventure junky and you have us- a husband and wife team.Based in the St. Augustine,Fl area, we cater to southeastern Fl, Atlanta,Ga, and destination weddings abroad.

Weddings Packages start at $2400 All include 2 photographers, complimentary engagement session with 25 edited images, online proofing gallery with a private password for 90 days, and a dvd of high-resolution edited images. We customize each package according to your requests which is why we ask that you contact us for more details on packages in order to better fit your needs.
Wedding Q & A: When do we pay and is there a down payment? First, we like to MEET YOU so don’t be surprised if we show up with coffee and bagels at your doorstep. That’s not always possible of course ,if it’s an out of town wedding , so we like to video chat or simply communicate as much as we can to get to know you and your soulmate better:) We can do contracts and all paperwork online and we ask that you pay 30% at the day of booking to secure your wedding date. We can arrange payment plans for the rest of the balance along the way and ask that it ALL be payed 7-10 days before the actual wedding date. What can we expect on our wedding day? Weddings can be very rushed but these are images and moments you will cherish the rest of your life so we ask that we have ample time to spend with you and your love. We love natural light so we will usually scout out the wedding venue to find great locations to photograph you and the wedding party. We ask for 30-40 minutes for traditional family portraits which are usually taken right after the ceremony. We are all about candid moments and like we said before, we have a photojournalistic style which is what you should expect BUT we will get all the traditional shots since the family will usually request these. We ask for another 30-45 minutes with the bridal party usually before the wedding since everyone is scurrying around getting ready for the reception after the ceremony. Regarding the two most important people at this event:), THESE will be the most important images to YOU so we want to make sure we have the time to photograph those intimate moments between the two of you. Many couples love the idea of the “first look” because it gives us more time to shoot before the ceremony and it’s the only time during the long day that the two of you can share a moment without 50 other people around you. I was so glad I did this with Brad at our own wedding because our photographers were able to spend more time with us and grabbed some beautiful portraits of the two of us. He still shed tears when I walked down the aisle even though he saw me before>. When do we receive our images? You will receive all EDITED images on DVD within 3-4 weeks after your wedding date and you will have an online proofing gallery with password to share and buy prints from our professional lab. This gallery will be available for 90 days after your wedding day. We highly recommend prints since it’s very easy to put aside that DVD or flash drive and lose it. We also offer a flash drive option which we will discuss with you the day of booking.
Do We Travel?
Absolutely?! As a former flight attendant, travel is my middle name. We work out of the southeast region of Florida(St. Augustine,Fl) but ready to travel anywhere in the world. We require a travel fee to cover hotel arrangements for 2 nights and gas or airfare.
Contact us at info@daybreakstudios.net for more info on travel fees and wedding packages
Beauty can be seen in all things, seeing and composing the beauty is what separates the snapshot from the photograph.�

Engagement A
la carte: $350
Engagement pictures are included in all wedding packages. This is a great time to get to know us and vice versa:) If bought separately, all sessions include 35 edited images, 2 wardrobe changes, and 1-2 hours of shooting. If it’s a destination wedding and we can’t make it in time for engagement pictures, you can use that credit for another session but cannot be removed to reduce the rate of your package. Don’t forget to ask about our “save the date” cards!

Boudoir
Have you ever wondered what a “boudoir” session is? They have become very popular over the last couple of years and the word itself means “a woman’s bedroom or small private room.” Sounds scandalous right? Not so. We have decided to offer these as add-on’s for brides which is why we call them “bridal boudoirs”. These also make great anniversary and Valentine’s Day gifts for your sweet hubby. The body is a part of God’s artistic masterpiece and we believe these sessions will be a fun way to share in that special bond with your husband either on your wedding night or for private gifts years after. We can shoot in the comfort of your own home but we also suggest one of the many beautiful bed and breakfasts in downtown St. Augustine,Fl. Every woman wants to get dolled up and feel beautiful in their own skin so what better way to celebrate the body He gave you!
We don’t blog or post anything you don’t want us to so rest assured, your privacy is important to us!
Be on the lookout for specials year round including mini sessions!We customize all of our packages to fit your needs and budget so don’t hesitate to ask for more details!
“The beauty of a woman is not in the clothes she wears, the figure that she carries, or the way she combs her hair. The beauty of a woman is seen in her eyes, because that is the doorway to her heart, the place where love resides. True beauty in a woman is reflected in her soul.� Audrey Hepburn

Personally, I wouldn’t want a dvd sitting around from such an intimate photo session. Those children are sneaky! That’s why we suggest the album or book to surprise your hunny on your wedding night or anniversary so he can keep it close:) We offer several albums including those discussed in our albums section.We have one more option to consider. A mini album that is 6x6 and has several different designs and eco-friendly cover options.
Mini Albums-$200
You can see more album selections in our album guide below. The pure albums are a higher end album ranging from $700-1000 and press books range from $200-250 and come in various sizes.
Portraits
Portraits fall under many categories. We do family portraits, maternity photos, seniors, newborn sessions,etc....We believe in “the candid” more than we do “the posed” but there is a place for all. Our style is predominately natural light wit a documentary and candid take on your portrait session. We do posed as well but if you’re looking for Sears Portraits, then we are not the right fit. We don’t do cookie cutter but we DO love laughter, smiles, kisses, and the beautiful outdoors. We either choose a location or we will come to your doorstep in the comfort of your own home for newborn sessions or family gatherings. All of your images will be posted in an online proofing gallery for 60 days after your session. We will schedule an ordering appointment 1 week after your session so we can sit down and help you choose the best photos from those sweet memories.
