Q. What is "freestyle wedding photography"? A. We love pictures that tell a story, capturing the joy and emotion of a moment; photojournalism allows for this relaxed style of shooting. We also have a passion for beautifully constructed fine-art pictures, this requires control of light and classical posing experience. We combine both and switch seamlessly to give you freestyle and fun photography.

Q. When's the best time for a wedding? A. The best times depend on a number of factors which we discuss in our initial consultation. If you're planning a sunset wedding, ensure the ceremony finishes at sunset as there will be little light to take pictures after the sun drops below the horizon. Checkout Austin monthly rain and temperatures as well as Sunrise and Sunset times.

Q. What clothing should I wear for an engagement session?
A. Try and wear matching tops and bottoms, e.g. jeans and white tops. I usually recommend a shirt or t-shirt for the guys and a tank-top / spaghetti string tank top for the ladies. But choose whatever you feel comfortable with. The only real rule is: no patterned clothing. I also recommend a change of tops so that we can have two different looks during the shoot.
