If you know you're getting married in a year or less, the best time to do your engagement session is now! Not only will it help you be ahead of the game with announcements and such, but it will also give you some marketing power for your big day to keep your social feeds poppin'!      

Although we don't claim to be fashion stylists, we do try to keep our Pinterest boards up to date with what we think are the cutest, most current wardrobe combinations. We alway recommend that our clients create a idea board for their session. It’s a great way to bounce ideas off of us, and to make sure we’re on the same page going into the shoot!

We always start booking dates at least one year in advance. We are typically booked for the year by January/February of that year. If you feel a connection with our style and our approach to telling wedding stories, we should chat sooner than later!

We are booking weddings at least a year in advance and recommend that if you're getting married anytime between June and October, to consider booking sooner than later. We are close to being completely booked for the following year by November - December. 

Of course! We are not a one size fits all company, and although we have tried to put together what we feel are perfect varying levels of coverage, we quite often will custom tweak a package to fit specific coverage or budget needs. The best first step is to let us know exactly what you want!

Most of the weddings we do these days are destination weddings in locations that require us to travel. There may or may not be an additional fee, depending on the package, location, and scenario. In other words, if it's in our best interest for portfolio purposes to offset the travel costs, we're more than willing to do it. Generally speaking, we do not charge additional travel fees to locations within a 90 mile radius of Farmington, NM.

A $600 deposit is required to reserve a date on our calendar. Deposits are non-refundable. If for any reason you need to cancel your wedding, or reschedule for a date that we do not have available, if we have done your engagement photos as part of your package, you will be charged for that session on top of the deposit. 

We try to! Drone footage is the coolest. It really will depend on time opportunity and weather, but we generally always try to get some drone footage. If you are willing or want us to fly a drone during your ceremony…we’re all about it!  

The best time to have your ceremony depends entirely on much time you will need for photos before dinner. If you are not planning on having a first look, you will need at a minimum of 1 hour for all family, wedding party, and formal photos after the ceremony. In that scenario we are racing to get everything covered before you check in to the reception. There are pro and cons to first looks, but they alway afford more time for photos, and an earlier check in to your reception. If possible, we ALWAYS try to sneak the couple out just after they eat for some gorgeous golden hour shots.

Yes! Our premium photobooth is the Mercedes of photobooth’s. It’s extremely mobile, works in all environments, prints unlimited beautiful 4X6 images and saves all the digital negatives which we edit and provide as part of your final image collection.

Yes! This happens more than you would think. Weddings are an expensive investment and sometimes it takes time to figure out exactly what your budget is for photography & video. If you know you want to work with us, it is smart to book your date and then decide soon after exactly what type of coverage your want.

We can hire as many shooters as you'd like for your Wedding but the reality is we've got it covered.  Over a decade or testing second shooters and we've come to the conclusion that we do a better job covering your event together than we do with more hands in the cookie jar.  If you've booked with a package that included 2 people, it is always just Katie and I.

1000% YES!!!  The experience you have seeing each other down the aisle, when every just got real, will never change regardless of whether or not he's seen you in your dress ahead of time.  We don't believe that this superstition will set your marriage off on the wrong foot either.  The reality it, there is only a limited amount of time on your Wedding Day to spend with your guests, who you've invested a lot of money in and we don't want that precious time to go to waste.  A first look allows us to knock out an hours worth of photos, giving that time back to you after your ceremony with your closest.  Plus, first look moments are just super cool to experience in a private setting.  Highly recommend!       

If it's for a large Wedding....FREEK YES!  We highly recommend having a planner, coordinator, or designer that can help you do what you would never be able to do on your own. Despite our best efforts, stress shows in photos. The least amount of stress you have going into your wedding day, the better. A rock star wedding coordinator can take so much off your plate, and can keep the pace, flow, and style of your wedding in check. Let us help make recommendations of the best ones in the biz!
