Before weddings they photographed more than 2,000 portrait clients over eight years. Collections begin at $8,000, and the calendar stays small each year on purpose.

The full breakdown is on our pricing page. For the wider market, we wrote up what wedding photographers cost in Austin. If you are still comparing photographers, our Austin wedding photographer guide covers venues, seasons, and light across the city, and our guide to the best luxury wedding venues near Austin goes property by property.

What is included in a wedding collection?

Every collection includes both of us. Nick and Allie photograph each wedding together, so two perspectives cover every hour of the day. Coverage starts at eight hours. You receive a fully edited online gallery, typically 600 to 900 photographs, delivered within eight weeks, with printing rights included.

Albums, engagement sessions, and rehearsal dinner coverage can be added to any collection. Nothing on the wedding day itself is metered.

How many hours of coverage do you need?

Plan on eight hours for most weddings. Eight hours covers getting ready through the first hour of open dancing for a single-venue day of 100 to 150 guests. Add time for a second location, a large wedding party, or a planned exit. We rarely recommend fewer than six.

Two guides go deeper: how many hours of coverage you need walks the decision through guest count and locations, and our sample eight hour timeline shows where every hour goes.

Do you travel for weddings?

Yes. We are based in Austin and photograph weddings anywhere. Recent work includes Costa Rica, San Francisco, and Charlotte. Travel inside Texas is included in every collection. For destination weddings we quote one flat figure with flights and lodging built in, typically starting at $18,000.

How the logistics work, from flights to backup gear, is on the destination wedding photographer page. Closer to home, our Wimberley wedding photography guide covers the Hill Country town we shoot most.
