No lawyer-speak wall to scroll past. Here's how we work, what you can expect from us, and what we do with your information. Straight up.

Your date is held once we have a signed service agreement and your retainer (30% of your collection total). The retainer is non-refundable, it reserves your day and blocks it off for everyone else. The remaining balance is due before your wedding date, per the schedule in your agreement.
Prices quoted are honored for 30 days from your proposal. Texas sales tax applies where required and is shown on your invoice.
Life happens. If you need to move your date, we'll do everything we can to accommodate the new one, subject to our availability. Your retainer transfers to the new date one time. If you cancel, the retainer is not refundable and any additional payments made are handled per your agreement.
If something outside anyone's control (weather, illness, a genuine emergency) forces a change, we'll talk like adults and find the right path forward.
Every wedding gets at least two shooters. Sneak peeks land within a few days. Full galleries and films are delivered on the timeline noted in your agreement. We back everything up (redundant cards, multiple drives) and carry full insurance, but we cannot be liable beyond the amount paid for coverage.
You get personal print and sharing rights to your images and film. We keep the copyright and the right to use select work in our portfolio, on social, and in marketing, unless we've agreed otherwise in writing.
When you reach out, we collect the basics you send us: your names, email, phone (if you share it), wedding date, venue, and whatever details you tell us about your day. We use it for one thing, to respond to you and, if we work together, to plan and deliver your coverage.
We do not sell your information. Ever. We share it only with the tools we use to run the business (like our booking and email platforms) and only as needed to serve you.
This site uses basic analytics to understand what's working and embeds a Google reviews feed. Those services may set their own cookies. You can block cookies in your browser settings without breaking the important parts of the site. Outbound links (Instagram, our blog, the parent company) open in a new tab and are governed by their own policies.
Want to know what we have on file, update it, or have it deleted? Just ask. Email us and we'll take care of it. We may update these terms as the business grows; the date at the top always reflects the current version.
