COMMON QUESTIONS

There are a lot of really good reasons to book our Photo & Video package!
1. We’re a one stop shop to preserve all your wedding memories & moments. One contract, one invoice, one team to communicate your vision to.2. You’ll get cohesive & creative photo & video deliverables. We’ve spent a lot of time honing in our look & style of capture so that your photos & video feel like continuations of each other rather than separate take aways from the day.
3. We’re a strong, intuitive team. Being as we’re husband & wife, our lines of communication are wide open. We know how to tell each other what we need in the moment, how to shoot around & with each other harmoniously rather than having a separate photographer and videographer butting heads all day to capture their best work. Plus, we just love to work together!

We are a husband and wife team based out of Austin, Texas but are available to travel anywhere! For locations in Texas that are 50 miles outside of the zip code 78660, there is a travel fee based on mileage round-trip (67 cents/mile per IRS Standards 2024). Overnight accommodations will also be requested for weddings over three hours away. We have packages for U.S. Elopements & Destination Weddings that include travel cost, but depending on location and season, there may need to be additional travel compensation. A custom package can be created for International Weddings.

-
Only in very specific circumstances, such as a court house and local elopements & intimate days. Otherwise, we spend the same amount of time and energy shooting/editing elopements & intimate days as we do for weddings – sometimes, even more time. We have to take into account location scouting, traveling from your getting ready location to your ceremony location, weather, getting drone shots, establishing shots, shots of you and your partner, giving time for moments to breath, etc. We don’t want you stressed out building a timeline around us and how long you have us for. We want the flow of the day centered around you and how you want to spend your time so that we can be there to capture it, stress free.
We have packages available for Destination Elopements that include travel. -
We have been documenting weddings for nearly eight years now and have captured every kind of wedding imaginable. We’ve come to a place where we are over the wedding industry trends that each couple is shoved into, the “plug this couple into the same mold” kind of days. We have refined our taste and understand what we vibe with, what inspires us to create; couples who do their own damn thing, don’t care about the latest trends or being featured on Martha Stewart Weddings. Those who want to celebrate their love their way and the rest is just background noise. Some words we would use to describe our style and the couples who book us are alternative, indie, creative, mindful, edgy, down to earth, adventurous, rebels in love.
-
We shoot on Sony camera bodies and use a variety of Zeiss lenses. We film entirely in 4K resolution, 10 bit color and capture RAW photos. For those of you who don’t talk in camera jargon, that just means you are getting some of the best quality footage & photos cameras can offer, large enough to be played in a movie theater without losing detail and providing us with the most color information to play with while editing your film & photos. We love mixed media and offer 35mm and medium format film photography, polaroids, camcorder style video & Super 8 film.
-
Super 8 is a film medium capturing video on a vintage camera. You may have seen it in music videos, tv shows, or wedding films. It’s super cool and adds a unique element to the documentation of your elopement or wedding day. We offer the option to have Super 8 mixed into your Highlight Video (what we’d call mixed-medium) or you can opt to have your wedding filmed entirely on Super 8 with our Super 8 Mini Film package. Super 8 Mini Films can also be added to any Photography package.
-
Depending on the season, our delivery time frame varies. If your wedding is in the Spring/Summer (March through June) or Fall (September through November) you will probably be looking at a three to four month delivery time. Because we take our work so personally and hand-craft each deliverable, we try to take a limited number of weddings a year to give each couple the same detailed experience. But alas, sometimes everyone gets married in the same month. We can definitely speed edit, but we prefer to give you a quality product you will enjoy for the rest of your life than give you immediate gratification from a rushed video or photo deliverable. We do send about 80 preview photos within one week of the wedding day. And if you’re wanting to see a bit of your day sooner, we do offer a one minute video Teaser as an Add On.
-
Absolutely! We'd love to hear what some of your favorite artists/songs are and jam to your Spotify playlist as we edit. The final song selection for the film is ultimately our choice, as we have to take into account licensing, pacing for editing, etc. but we always take into consideration the musical taste of our clients. We use a website called Musicbed to license songs for our wedding films, and there is some pretty amazing stuff on there. At the end of the day, it’s better to use a song you’ve never heard before rather than one you’ve been jamming for a while so that your brain can create a brand new association to the music and your memories.
-
We love to work with other creative photographers & videographers, especially folks who are creatively like-minded, collaborative, and respectful. We value a team mentality and have a list of vendors we enjoy working with who we’d love to recommend to you if you haven’t found that person yet.
But if you don’t want to go through the hassle of hunting down those additional vendors, you can book our Photo & Video Package! It's your one-stop shop for cohesive photo & video deliverables & creative & candid documentation.

We understand how expensive wedding days have become and we by no means want to gouge you for money. We do believe that quality wedding videography & photography is an investment worth while, as very few things are left over when the day is all said and done, and these takeaways are a part of your legacy & story. We have built our Packages & Offerings based on industry standards and our years of experience, as well as the cost of equipment and materials needed. We hope we have something to offer to couples of all price points. If we aren’t in your budget, we are happy to refer you to other local vendors who are. Bottom line, don’t miss out on one of the most meaningful investments of your wedding day. If you’re still on the fence, here are some great articles to take a peek at:
