Frequent questions
If you don't see your perfect fit, or if you're getting married outside of Austin, let us know and we can create a bespoke package. All packages include digital & film photography, tax, and travel within the Austin area.
How long have you been photographing brands?
Q.
a.
While we've been photographing lifestyle portraits & weddings for 14-16 years, we didn't open our calendars to brand imagery until 2020! We've always had a passion for running our business and learning new tools, but translating that over to our brand photography has been so gratifying!
Short answer, 4 years
Can we meet with you before we decide to book?
Q.
a.
While we often wait until a contract and deposit is paid to hop on your discovery call (where we go over your vision, shot list needs, and set our time/date/location together), we can always hop on a quick call to discuss our partnership and the specific coverage options you're considering!
Short answer, absolutely!
How many photos can we expect? How long is the turnaround time?
Q.
a.
3-4 weeks after your shoot we deliver a fully edited, high-res gallery with your film and digital imagery integrated. We don't operate on any minimum or maximum image count that you'll receive, we want to honor each individual creative and shoot - along with our pre-discussed photo goals! You can always see full galleries to get an idea of how much range each shoot has.
Short answer, 3-4 weeks.
How can I make my branding photos as amazing as possible?
Q.
a.
Here's the truth: 1. Hire an expert team that you trust and can relax with. Hair/makeup support and styling support can be great ways to ensure you feel confident and can ensure your brand is communicating everything it needs to! 2. Take time to list out areas on your site that you need updated imagery, how you want to communicate to your dream clients with the new content, and go in to the shoot with a plan! With our general goals outlined, we can grab those and then also have the freedom to build upon them with our creativity & combined energy!
Short answer, prepare early and have a plan.
Do you offer video?
Q.
a.
We always offer Super 8 coverage as an add-on, but we are planning on opening up our offering for digital video at brand shoots as well! As this is a newer offering for us, it's still in the trial phase so we are offering discounts for the first 5 brands to take advantage of this addition!
Short answer, yes!
Do you have any vendors you recommend?
Q.
a.
We are lucky to work in one of the best creative industries in the country, and boy do we know some talented artists!
Short answer, YES!
