Austin Wedding Photography Packages: What’s Included and How to Choose

Your love story deserves room to breathe. That’s the philosophy behind every Austin wedding photography package I offer — built not around a rigid template, but around what your day actually needs.

Whether you’re planning an intimate ceremony in downtown Austin or a multi-day celebration in the Texas Hill Country, this guide breaks down exactly what’s included, what influences pricing, and how to choose the right coverage for your specific day.

Austin Wedding Photography Packages: What’s Included

Every package is thoughtfully customized, but here’s what’s available across my Austin wedding photography coverage:

• Thoughtful planning and creative support. Guidance leading up to your wedding so nothing feels rushed or overlooked. This isn’t just about photos — it’s about helping you design a day where the meaningful moments have space to unfold naturally.
• Engagement session. A relaxed way to get comfortable in front of the camera before your wedding day. You’ll feel the difference on the day itself — more natural, more at ease, less aware of the camera.
• Artistic vision and timeline collaboration. We shape the flow of your day around light, emotion, and what matters most to you — not around a generic schedule that doesn’t reflect who you are.
• Extended wedding coverage. Full storytelling of your celebration, from the quiet morning moments to the last dance. Every part of your day is part of the story.
• Rehearsal dinner coverage. Capturing the start of the story with the people closest to you. The night before is often full of genuine emotion and connection — it deserves to be documented too.
• Two photographers. More perspective, more moments, without compromise. While I’m with you, a second photographer is with your partner. Nothing gets missed, and you get the full picture of how your day unfolded.
• On-site assistant. For a smooth, seamless experience throughout the day. Someone dedicated to keeping things moving so you never have to think about logistics.
• Drone coverage (where permitted). To capture the sense of place and scale of your celebration. Especially powerful for Hill Country venues where the landscape is as much a part of the story as the people.
• 35mm film photography. Adding a timeless, tactile layer to your story. Film has a quality that digital simply can’t replicate — a warmth and grain that makes images feel like they’ve already become memories.
• Fine-art album design. Thoughtfully crafted to turn your images into something lasting. Not just a photo book — an heirloom you’ll open on anniversaries and show your children someday.
• Hand-embroidered bouquet print. A one-of-a-kind piece to honor your day as art. Your favorite bouquet photo, with the flowers hand-stitched directly onto the print. Time-intensive, deeply personal, completely unique to you.
• High-resolution online gallery. Easy viewing, sharing, and printing of your images — delivered in a beautiful platform you can access anytime and share with family and friends.

Austin Wedding Photography Pricing: What to Expect

Austin wedding photography coverage begins at $4,000, with most couples investing between $5,000 and $6,000 for two photographers, 35mm film, drone coverage, and multi-day Texas Hill Country celebrations.

Every wedding is different, so every package is thoughtfully customized to fit what your day truly needs. Here’s what influences where your investment falls:

• Coverage length. A full day from getting ready through the reception requires more time than an intimate ceremony with a shorter celebration. We’ll figure out together how much coverage actually serves your day.
• Two photographers vs. one. Having a second photographer means both of your getting ready stories are captured simultaneously, you get multiple perspectives during the ceremony, and no key moment gets missed. For most weddings, it’s one of the most valuable inclusions.
• 35mm film. Film photography adds a timeless, tactile quality that digital can’t replicate. If you value that look and feel, it’s worth including. If not, we can keep coverage entirely digital.
• Drone coverage. Especially impactful for Hill Country venues where the landscape is part of the story. Subject to venue permissions and weather.
• Multi-day celebrations. Rehearsal dinners, welcome events, day-after brunches — if your wedding spans multiple days, coverage can extend to capture the full arc of the celebration.
• Albums and prints. Fine-art album design and hand-embroidered bouquet prints are available as part of your package or as add-ons. These tangible pieces turn your photos from files on a screen into art that lives in your home.

What Makes These Austin Wedding Photography Packages Different

A lot of photographers offer coverage hours and a gallery. Here’s what sets this approach apart:

The on-site assistant means you never have to think about logistics on your wedding day. Someone is dedicated to keeping things moving so you stay present and relaxed.

The 35mm film layer adds something you simply can’t achieve with digital alone. There’s a warmth, a grain, a feeling to film images that makes them look like they’ve already become memories — even when they’re fresh.

The hand-embroidered bouquet print is genuinely unlike anything else available. It’s not a product you can order from a lab — it’s a piece of art created by me, specifically for you, honoring one of the most personal details of your day.

And the documentary approach woven through everything means you’re not just getting pretty pictures. You’re getting your story — honestly told, beautifully preserved.

How to Choose the Right Package for Your Austin or Hill Country Wedding

The right package depends on what your day actually looks like and what matters most to you.

If you’re having an intimate Austin wedding with a smaller guest list and a shorter celebration, a streamlined package focused on the essential moments might be exactly right. We’ll make sure every important moment is covered without paying for coverage you don’t need.

If you’re planning a multi-day Hill Country celebration — a welcome dinner Friday, a full wedding Saturday, a brunch Sunday — extended coverage lets us document the full arc of your celebration, not just the ceremony and reception.

If you value the look and feel of film, adding 35mm coverage creates a layered, textured gallery that feels timeless rather than of-the-moment.

If you want both of your getting ready stories told completely, two photographers is the answer. It’s one of the most meaningful additions to any package.

The best way to figure out what’s right for you is to have a conversation. I’d rather help you build something that truly fits than sell you something that doesn’t.

The Fine-Art Album: Turning Your Photos into an Heirloom

A high-resolution gallery is wonderful. But there’s something irreplaceable about a physical album.

The fine-art album design process is collaborative. We work together to select images, shape the narrative, and design something that tells the full story of your day in a format that will last decades.

This isn’t a photo book you order online. It’s a thoughtfully crafted heirloom — the kind of thing you’ll open on your tenth anniversary, show your children, and eventually pass down.

The design process typically takes 8–12 weeks from start to finish. I handle the heavy lifting, you provide feedback, and we create something beautiful together.

The Hand-Embroidered Bouquet Print: A One-of-a-Kind Piece

Of everything included in my Austin wedding photography packages, the hand-embroidered bouquet print might be the most personal.

We take your favorite bouquet photo and hand-stitch the flowers directly onto the print. Every stitch is placed by hand. The result is something completely unique to you — a piece of art that honors one of the most carefully chosen details of your day in a way that no digital print ever could.

It’s time-intensive. It’s deeply personal. And it’s unlike anything else you’ll find from an Austin wedding photographer.

Let’s Build Your Package Together

Every wedding is different, and every package should be too. I don’t believe in one-size-fits-all — I believe in figuring out what your day actually needs and building coverage that serves that.

If you’re planning a wedding in Austin, the Hill Country, or anywhere in Texas, I’d love to talk through what makes sense for your specific celebration.
